I Know Palestine Will Be Free In My Lifetime. I Know Palestine Will Be Free In My Lifetime. I Know I

I know I'm like poor as fuck and so close ro being homeless but with the devastating blow the other night when i woke up this morning for hours I felt like there was another black woman who needed something from me. I messaged a black birth worker I'm acquaintances with and was like there is something on my heart saying to send another black woman like $20 for lunch or something and I thought of you.

Y'all I could fucking scream bc the universe always knows. She knows. She knows when my sisters need help. She told me she didn't even know how she was gonna feed herself and her kids tonight bc her stamps don't reup til tomorrow.

This why I be so mad when y'all try to deter direct mutual aid in favor of these white ass funds that y'all KNOW aren't gonna even think abt black women and kids. Direct aid will ALWAYS win out bc them babies was hungry tonight. Not 3-5 business days later when a fund MIGHT select her name from hundreds to dispense funds.

And before a stupid bitch come up in my inbox again like before and call me a dumbass for being poor and giving money, bitch poor people are all other poor ppl got. We have to look out for each other because the wealthy don't give a fuck. Passing around a $20 back and forth between us when needed is better than nothing and I always rather have a heart for other poor folks than nothing. Someone will always be worse off than me and I have to do my part too.

Gaza is not okay.

A child is screaming,

A mother is saying goodbye,

A home is turned to rubble,

And the world stays silent.

I’m from Gaza, writing this under bombs.

Don’t be silent. Share, speak, donate, act.

alternatives without harming yourself:

holding/squeezing ice

splashing your face with water

getting a rubber band and snapping it against your skin (this could hurt, though it’s better than other ways that people usually choose to self-harm)

take a hot shower or bath

eat something sour. it will take your mind off the urge. (lemon, sour candy)

massage where you would self-harm

get a red pen or red paint and draw/paint over where you usually self-harm

remind yourself as to why you shouldn’t do it (scars, harms organs, leave memories etc…)

describe what you are feeling (is the urge/pain in your chest, fists, legs, arms, head?)

killing yourself will not help. it is not a solution.

you have your whole life ahead of you. you have so many more years that you can accomplish things in.

for example;

having a family

getting married

to watch the sun rise

to watch the sun set

to save someone else’s life

finish school

get your dream job

to laugh

to smile

to go camping

travel to new places

to wake up every morning to the person you love

friends

family

to keep that promise you made

to accomplish a goal

to meet your idol

to listen to new music

theme parks

video games

chocolate

to be able to look back and say “i made it”

what you’re going through is temporary.

in case you need to hear this:

you are loved.

you are wanted.

you are needed.

you are beautiful.

you are handsome.

you are important.

you are not alone.

you are okay.

you are strong.

you are worth it.

you are smart.

you are not a failure.

you are useful.

you are going to be okay.

To my LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters, I am desperate. The bombs and violence around me are relentless, and you are my only hope.

I am Nour, a 21-year-old woman from northern Gaza. My life was once peaceful, but that all shattered on October 7th, 2023, when war ripped through Gaza. Forced to flee, I now survive alone in a tent made of torn fabric in the south.

The constant bombardment is excruciating, but being a lesbian in a society that rejects and fears me is even more unbearable. I am constantly living in fear of violence, hatred, and judgment. Food, water, and basic supplies are running dangerously low, and each day is a fight just to stay alive.

I can’t endure this any longer. I need your help to escape, to find safety, dignity, and the freedom to live as my true self.

Every donation, no matter how small, offers me a glimmer of hope for a future free from fear. Your support can change my life.

Please, reblog my post

additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month

Everyone listen and don't ignore me, I really need you to help me participate and donate. Today, bombs were dropped near our tent and my family and I were displaced to the north because of the violent bombing. We moved to a far place on foot while we were fasting and we did not find a safe place to sit in. We did not sleep except in the street. I need you. Donate Here
