here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some 🏴☠️ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too
The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes
that comment about how you should not borrow grief from the future has saved me multiple times from spiraling into an inescapable state of anxiety. like every time i find myself thinking about how something in the future could go wrong i remember that comment and i think to myself: well i never know, it might get better. it might not even happen the way i think it will and if it does happen and it is sad and bad ill be sad about it then, when it happens. and it’s somehow soo freeing
This explains a few things, but it also justifies my rage with inflation

"They’re not collateral damage — they are being targeted."
The image you see is not from a war movie. It's a real X-ray of a Palestinian child. A sniper's bullet pierced her skull. This was not an accident. It was a calculated shot — to the head. How many children must bleed before the world opens its eyes?
I see this, and I tremble. Because I, too, am a mother. My own child is injured. He cries every night from pain. He needs urgent medical care — but we are trapped under siege, under fear, under silence.
How long before my son becomes another X-ray? Another hashtag? Another number?
If you're reading this, you have power — power to share, power to donate, power to care.
Help me get my son out. Help save him before it’s too late. Gaza’s children are not targets. They are lives. They are futures. Please don’t look away

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
okay like. supposedly being interested in m/m relationships, or even a specific m/m relationship because you like the specific dynamic depicted is fetishizing. because it’s only acceptable to take an interest in any m/m relationship if you’re a man who likes men, apparently. BUT then also m/f relationships are supposedly relatable and accessible to everybody???
or maybe.
just maybe.
that’s a bullshit argument used to shut down enthusiasm for anything that isn’t heteronormative as well as to shame a group of what is perceived to be young women and girls. because any time young women like anything at all, however harmless or even positive and uplifting, that thing is relentlessly mocked and derided as shallow and ridiculous.
I agree that part of the reason why cops are at Pride is to prevent LGBT people from rioting again, but I think this really ignores the role of race and class.
It’s easier for white and upper-class LGBT people to discourse about if straight people belong at Pride and if cishet celebrities should perform at pride or not, but many white LGBT people support the presence of cops at Pride because they think cops are their to protect them from bigoted protestors.
People like to cite “the first pride was a riot” when referencing Stonewall, but they love to ignore the context of Stonewall. It wasn’t just “gay people” who were rioting, it was a specific community of LGBT people: Black and Latina trans women, sex workers, and LGBT people of color. All of them were from working-class backgrounds.
There has always been a tension between the nonwhite, working-class components of the LGBT community and the upper-class, white components. It’s the white/upper-class components that tend to be more transmisogynisic and more hateful toward sex workers. It’s the white/upper-class components that historically disparaged gay bars and gay clubs. It’s the white/upper-class components that historically refused to participate in gay agitation and on-the-grounds protest. And now it’s the white/upper-class components that: 1) support the presence of cops at pride, 2) celebrate LGBT inclusion in the military, 3) think that gay cops and soldiers are a sign of progress, 4) are okay with corporations having floats and advertisements at Pride, 5) disapprove of BLM and Indigenous groups protesting imperialism and white supremacy at Pride, 6) tend to be more politically conservative and overtly racist, and 7) support white saviorism, imperialism, and display an orientalist attitude toward nonwhite and nonwestern cultures (e.g. claiming that nonwestern people are more inclined to be homophobic and that western countries are more progressive).
I am not making any of this up. Let’s take a look at history first, shall we? Here is a paper that describes racism at gay bars and clubs on Castro Street, San Francisco, a historical place of gay community building and activism.
Here is an image that I think is relevant as well:
This image is a comic from the 1986 issue of “Bi women: The Boston Bisexual Women’s Network Newsletter”. It’s clearly highlighting a tension between LGBT people who work for big businesses and corporations and LGBT people who are anticapitalists and anti-corporations.
Here is the recording of Sylvia Rivera’s famous “Y’all Better Quiet Down” speech. The link includes a transcript of the speech. In the speech she criticizes white, cis LGB people for being violently racist and transmisogynistic and for supporting assimilation over revolutionary liberation. She critiques the bureaucratic nature of elitist white-dominated LGBT organizations that usurp the labor of trans WOC and lgbt POC while also supporting causes that directly harm them.
Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a Black trans woman and elder who was also present at Stonewall. Miss Major has always focused on trans liberation through a lens of prison abolition and community building.
You can also read this pdf describing the revolutionary actions of STAR (Street Tr*nsvestite Action Revolutionaries), the famous organization founded by Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera here.
Other examples: La Luz Journal (a journal for lesbians of color) criticized the whiteness and assimilationist politics of pride, Ray Navarro wrote an article criticizing racism and antiblackness at Pride and in the community for the 1989 issue of Out Week, and Barbara Smith wrote an essay criticizing LGBT inclusion in the military in 1998.
Some of the historical LGBT activists were actively committed to anti-imperialism and severely criticized assimilationist politics in the LGBT community. This includes Leslie Feinberg, Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, June Jordan, and Brenda Howard, among countless others who clashed with imperialists and assimilationists not just outside of the community but within the community as well.
Let’s now look at contemporary LGBT politics.
Plenty of white LGBT people support the presence of cops at Pride, and often clash with Black Lives Matter protestors who protest against the presence of cops at Pride. In June of 2017, for example, a mainstream LGBTQ group facilitated the arrest of Black Queer activists who were protesting at Pride and refused to apologize. #NoJusticeNoPride halted the parade in Washington DC in 2017 because DC Pride is actively funded and supported by corporations and organizations that fuel the settler colonial genocide of Indigenous people in the US & North America. In April of 2017, members of Trans Queer Pueblo faced racist and xenophobic backlash at Phoenix Pride when they protested in the name of rights for undocumented LGBTQ immigrants.
Another example of white LGBT racism is white same-gender couples joining white straight couples in exploiting women of color and nonwestern women in the name of adoption and surrogacy. Laura Briggs discuses the role of gay and lesbian couples in the transnational and transracial adoption industry in her book. Perhaps the most notorious contemporary example is the Devonte Hart case. Devonte Hart’s parents were white lesbians who adopted him and his siblings (all of whom were Black). A photo of Devonte hugging a cop in Portland, Oregon, was used as a symbol of “community harmony” by white people. The fact that his white lesbian mothers were passing around that photo as an example of “good cops” was suspicious enough. Tragically, it was revealed that Hart’s mothers were extremely abusive toward their children, and that the abuse was racially motivated, and this racist abuse culminated in the murder of Devonte and three of his siblings.
Here is an article that describes the antiblack myths regarding Black people who grow up in working-class environments in Chicago and here is another article that describes the symbolism of “pink capitalism” in Atlanta, Georgia. The role of people of color in establishing marriage equality in the US is often erased.
An entire theory to describe the galvanization of white supremacy, capitalism, and imperialist assimilation in the LGBT community post 9/11 was coined by Jasbir Puar, and is termed homonationalism. White LGBT people balk at the term and often call it homophobic, but plenty of examples of it exist (x, x). Because of both racism and homonationalism, as another example, refugees from nonwestern countries who want to gain asylum in Western nations are often asked to “prove” that they are actually gay, based on the stereotypes that people from those cultures are all homophobic and regressive and straight (read this academic paper that describes this phenomenon occurring in Canada).
Here is another paper on transnational queer solidarity and two lists of readings related to homonationalism and pinkwashing.
In short, I definitely agree that cops have a vested interest in controlling LGBT activism and preventing anti-cop agitation, but this falls on racial and class lines as well, and white/upper-class LGBT people have historically and currently contribute to this problem as well, and we cannot ignore that.
That makes sense. If the inmates knew all about the for profit prison system and back door slavery they’d be very enraged about it.
The book is “Chokehold,” by Paul Butler, a former Washington DC prosecutor who wrote it after being wrongly arrested. From the article:
Butler, who is African-American, wrote the book after he was arrested on false assault allegations, an event that dramatically changed his view of the justice system.
“During the trial, I experienced for myself a lot of things that defendants I’d prosecuted said were evidence of how unfair the system was: Police lied, witnesses who knew what happened didn’t come forward,” Butler told The Guardian in 2017.
“The jury took less than 10 minutes to acquit me,” he said, because “I could afford the best lawyer in the city, had legal skills and social standing, and because I was innocent.
“But the experience made a man out of me. It made a black man out of me.”
According to the article they also banned one of Maya Angelou’s book too.
So I’m guessing that the officials want to keep them 100% imprisoned, physically and mentally.
I got this comment on a story from my Other AO3 Account this morning.
(Info redacted because I prefer keeping these accounts separate but no one follows me on the side blog I have for that account.)
The story was posted almost a year ago and is relatively “popular” by my average statistics even though it has tropes and themes that are big turnoffs for a lot of people (hence separate accounts). This popularity is undoubtedly because it’s a Marvel Loki story and that fandom is massive.
So there is obviously an algorithm or a bot scrubbing ao3 statistics and leaving this comment on fics that meet a certain metric with the main character of the fic inserted into the comment.
I had a little time to kill this morning so I decided to investigate further. And y’all this is so predatory. Come on this journey with me. It made me mad. It may make you mad.
First, if you go to Webnovel’s website, you HAVE to choose between male lead or female lead stories before you can go any further. WTF?
And that’s weird, but this gets so much worse. This is basically a pay-to-read site that has different subscription models. Which… okay BUT! The authors don’t get paid! Look at that comment again. They’re promising a supportive and nurturing community, but zero monetary compensation. It’s basically, “post your stuff here so we can get paid and you can get… nice vibes?” I mean look at this Orwellian writing:
Using the phrase “pay-to-read model” in the same sentence as “qualitative changes in lifestyles for authors” deliberately makes you think that you can get paid and maybe even make a living on this website. But that’s not actually what it says and authors will not receive one red cent.
Oh but wait, the worst is still to come. In case this breaks containment (which I kind of hope it does) this is where I mention that I’m a lawyer in the US.
I don’t do intellectual property or copyright law but I do read and write contracts for a living. So I went to look at their terms of service. It was fun!
Highlights the first, in which Webnovel gets a license to do basically whatever they want with content you post on their site. This is how they get to be paid for people reading authors’ writing without paying them anything.
Highlights the second, in which Webnovel takes no responsibility for illegally profiting off of fan fic. This all says that the writer is 100% responsible for everything the writer posts (even though only Webnovel is making money from it).
Highlights the third which say that by posting, the author is representing that they have the legal right to use and to let Webnovel use the content according to these terms. So if a writer posts fan fiction and Webnovel makes money from people reading the fan fiction, and the House of the Mouse catches wise, these sections say that that’s ALL on the writer.
So that’s a little skeevy to start off with but the thing that is seriously shitty and made me make this post was that these assholes are coming to ao3. They are actively recruiting people in comments on their fan fiction. And they are saying they are big fans of the character you’re writing about and that they share your interests.
They are recruiting fan fiction writers and giving every impression that you can make money from posting fan fiction on their site and hiding the fact that you absolutely cannot but they can make money off of you while you try, deep in their terms of service which no one but a lawyer who writes fan fic and has some time to kill will read.
I see posts on here regularly from people who don’t understand how this stuff works, don’t understand that they (and others) can not legally make a financial profit from fan fiction. And there are tons of people who will not take the time to dig into the details.
Don’t deal with these bastards. Fuck Webnovel.

URGENT: 🚨🚨EARN IT ACT IS BACK IN THE SENATE 🚨🚨 TUMBLR’S NSFW BAN HITTING THE ENTIRE INTERNET THIS SUMMER 2023
April 28, 2023
I’m so sorry for the long post but please please please pay attention and spread this
What is the EARN IT Act?
The EARN IT Act (s. 1207) has been roundly condemned by nearly every major LGBTQ+ advocacy and human rights organization in the country.
This is the third time the Senate has been trying to force this through, and I talked about it last year. It is a bill that claims "protects children and victims against CSAM" by creating an unelected and politically appointed national commission of law enforcement specialists to dictate "best practices" that websites all across the nation will be forced to follow. (Keep in mind, most websites in the world are created in the US, so this has global ramifications). These "best practices" would include killing encryption so that any law enforcement can scan and see every single message, dm, photo, cloud storage, data, and any website you have every so much as glanced at. Contrary to popular belief, no they actually can't already do that. These "best practices" also create new laws for "removing CSAM" online, leading to mass censorship of non-CSAM content like what happened to tumblr. Keep in mind that groups like NCOSE, an anti-LGBT hate group, will be allowed on this commission. If websites don't follow these best practices, they lose their Section 230 protections, leading to mass censorship either way.
Section 230 is foundational to modern online communications. It's the entire reason social media exists. It grants legal protection to users and websites, and says that websites aren't responsible for what users upload online unless it's criminal. Without Section 230, websites are at the mercy of whatever bullshit regulatory laws any and every US state passes. Imagine if Texas and Florida were allowed to say what you can and can't publish and access online. That is what will happen if EARN IT passes. (For context, Trump wanted to get rid of Section 230 because he knew it would lead to mass govt surveillance and censorship of minorities online.)
This is really not a drill. Anyone who makes or consume anything “adult” and LGBT online has to be prepared to fight Sen. Blumenthal’s EARN IT Act, brought back from the grave by a bipartisan consensus to destroy Section 230. If this bill passes, we’re going to see most, if not all, adult content and accounts removed from mainstream platforms. This will include anything related to LGBT content, including SFW fanfiction, for example. Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Tiktok, Tumblr, all of them will be completely gutted of anything related to LGBT content, abortion healthcare, resources for victims of any type of abuse, etc. It is a right-wing fascists wet dream, which is why NCOSE is behind this bill and why another name for this bill is named in reference to NCOSE.
NCOSE used to be named Morality in Media, and has rebranded into an "anti-trafficking" organization. They are a hate group that has made millions off of being "against trafficking" while helping almost no victims and pushing for homophobic laws globally. They have successfully pushing the idea that any form of sexual expression, including talking about HEALTH, leads to sex trafficking. That's how SESTA passed. Their goal is to eliminate all sex, anything gay, and everything that goes against their idea of ‘God’ from the internet and hyper disney-fy and sanitize it. This is a highly coordinated attack on multiple fronts.
The EARN IT Act will lead to mass online censorship and surveillance. Platforms will be forced to scan their users’ communications and censor all sex-related content, including sex education, literally anything lgbt, transgender or non-binary education and support systems, aything related to abortion, and sex worker communication according to the ACLU. All this in the name of “protecting kids” and “fighting CSAM”, both of which the bill does nothing of the sort. In fact it makes fighting CSEM even harder.
EARN IT will open the way for politicians to define the category of “pornography" as they — or the lobbies that fund them — please. The same way that right-wing groups have successfully banned books about race and LGBT, are banning trans people from existing, all under the guise of protecting children from "grooming and exploitation", is how they will successfully censor the internet.
As long as state legislatures can tie in "fighting CSAM" to their bullshit laws, they can use EARN IT to censor and surveill whatever they want.
This is already a nightmare enough. But the bill also DESTROYS ENCRYPTION, you know, the thing protecting literally anyone or any govt entity from going into your private messages and emails and anything on your devices and spying on you.
This bill is going to finish what FOSTA/SESTA started. And that should terrify you.
Senator Blumenthal (Same guy who said ‘Facebook should ban finsta’) pushed this bill all of 2020, literally every activist (There were more than half a million signatures on this site opposing this act!) pushed hard to stop this bill. Now he brings it back, doesn’t show the text of the bill until hours later, and it’s WORSE. Instead of fixing literally anything in the bill that might actually protect kids online, Bluemnthal is hoping to fast track this and shove it through, hoping to get little media attention other than propaganda of “protecting kids” to support this shitty legislation that will harm kids. Blumental doesn't care about protecting anyone, and only wants his name in headlines.
It will make CSAM much much worse.
One of the many reasons this bill is so dangerous: It totally misunderstands how Section 230 works, and in doing so (as with FOSTA) it is likely to make the very real problem of CSAM worse, not better. Section 230 gives companies the flexibility to try different approaches to dealing with various content moderation challenges. It allows for greater and greater experimentation and adjustments as they learn what works – without fear of liability for any “failure.” Removing Section 230 protections does the opposite. It says if you do anything, you may face crippling legal liability. This actually makes companies less willing to do anything that involves trying to seek out, take down, and report CSAM because of the greatly increased liability that comes with admitting that there is CSAM on your platform to search for and deal with. This liability would allow anyone for any reason to sue any platform they want, suing smaller ones out of existence. Look at what is happening right now with book bans across the nation with far right groups. This is going to happen to the internet if this bill passes.
(Remember, the state department released a report in December 2021 recommending that the government crack down on “obscenity” as hard the Reagan Administration did. If this bill passes, it could easily go way beyond shit red states are currently trying. It is a goldmine for the fascist right that is currently in the middle of banning every book that talks about race and sexuality across the US.)
The reason these bills keep showing up is because there is this false lie spread by organizations like NCOSE that platforms do nothing about CSEM online. However, platforms are already liable for child sexual exploitation under federal law. Tech companies sent more than 45 million+ instances of CSAM to the DOJ in 2019 alone, most of which they declined to investigate. This shows that platforms are actually doing everything in their power already to stop CSEM by following already existing laws. The Earn It Act includes zero resources for proven investigation or prevention programs. If Senator Bluementhal actually cared about protecting youth, why wouldn’t he include anything to actually protect them in his shitty horrible bill? EARN IT is actually likely to make prosecuting child molesters more difficult since evidence collected this way likely violates the Fourth Amendment and would be inadmissible in court.
I don’t know why so many Senators are eager to cosponsor the “make child pornography worse” bill, but here we are.
HOW TO FIGHT BACK
EARN IT Act was introduced just two weeks ago and is already being fast-tracked. It will be marked up the week of May 1st and head to the Senate floor immediately after. If there is no loud and consistent opposition, it will be law by JUNE! Most bills never go to markup, so this means they are putting pressure to move this through. There are already 20 co-sponsors, a fifth of the entire Senate. This is an uphill battle and it is very much all hands on deck.

3. SPREAD THE WORD ONLINE
If you have any social media, spread this online. One of the best ways we fought back against this last year was MASSIVE spread online. Tiktok, reddit, twitter, discord, whatever means you have at least mention it. We could see most social media die out by this fall if we don't fight back.
Here is a linktree with more information on this bill including a masterpost of articles, the links to petitions, and the call script.
DISCORD LINK IF YOU WANT TO HELP FIGHT IT
TLDR: The EARN IT Act will lead to online censorship of any and all adult & lgbt content across the entire internet, open the floodgates to mass surveillance the likes which we haven’t seen before, lead to much more CSEM being distributed online, and destroy encryption. Call 202-224-3121 to connect to your house and senate representative and tell them to VOTE NO on this bill that does not protect anyone and harms everyone.

English: We the artists, we are hours making art with a lot of effort and love, and we are not here to see someone who just take it and steal all that from us.
I have gone through this stage horribly in which a drawing or writing of my property has been stolen and I do not wish it on anyone.
I dedicate to support the art of others and those people I spend time with have been through this hell.

Español: Nosotros los dibujantes y artistas nos esforzamos mucho sin importar la fama y no estamos como para que venga alguien a robarnos horas de cariño y esfuerzo
horriblemente he pasado por esta etapa en la que han robado un dibujo o escrito de mi pertenencia y no se lo deseo a nadie.
Me dedico también a ayudar artistas y a esas personas con las que paso el tiempo han pasado por este infierno.
Gina Carano did not get fired from The Mandalorian for being transphobic.
She got fired for being Anti-Semitic.
Her being transphobic is not at all okay either,
But anti semitism is not talked about enough.
She basically just compared Holocaust victims to having different political opinions.
I’m Jewish. I really don’t like when someone compares the genocide of 6 million of my people to having a different political opinion! Do you realize how fucked up that is?!
Reblog this. Don’t just like this post. People need to know this. People need to start taking anti semitism more seriously.
Don’t you dare just like this post!
REBLOG IT
Ok so this post is extremely long and I put it all together for my blogs Feeling sad page but as I don’t have a huge amount of followers I realize so many people are not seeing this information so I’m posting it here too!
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 of the urge. (lemon, sour lollies)
massage where you want to 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.

URGENT: FUNDRAISING FOR BREAST CANCER TREATMENT
I have tried my absolute best not to seek financial help online, especially when our collective focus should be aimed towards the welfare of our Palestinians, Congolese, and Sudanese brothers and sisters. I truly have considered countless options before resorting to asking for monetary assistance but I no longer have the means to keep myself alive and my little family afloat. Following my father's death almost three years ago due to colorectal cancer, I was diagnosed late last year with Stage 2A breast cancer.
There's an even elaborate explanation on the fundraising page that I will be attaching in this post. Please, take some time to read it. I am our family's breadwinner, and I am only asking for monetary assistance because I no longer have a job/source of income nor is my previous company willing to shoulder my medical expenses. I am left to fend for myself and I have used all of my savings to afford numerous physical/health examinations and the prescribed medication.
I am going to attach photos of how disfigured my right arm now is, the evident lumps/tumors on my armpits and if you want proof of how the cancer affected my breasts, please directly message me. I don't think I can explicitly share the photos here. But to put enough context, my left breast shrunk into at least 1/3 of its original size.
I am sincerely sorry for being a bother, but if you have the means to donate to my fundraising post, please do. I badly needed all the help I can get so I won't be summoned to court and would be able to afford surgery on time. If you cannot donate, please kindly share this post. If you have any other questions, please reach out to me through direct messaging. This is my only account (I will probably reblogged this on my side blog as well) so please, if you see someone using my photos, alert me. Thank you. Please understand, too, that I will take a bit of time to respond because I am struggling to grasp my phone/only typing using my left hand. Thank you, and please consider helping me.
Help Mahmoud and his family escape Gaza & continue education
Hello, I am Mahmoud Jihad. I was an outstanding university student with excellent grades and I had a house. But now, because of the genocide, I have nothing and my family but a cloth tent to shelter me , I lost my house and laptop and my university are destroyed.
My old is 21, My life has been dramatically altered by the ongoing conflict in my homeland. I am currently living as a displaced person in Deir al-Balah after losing my home and everything I knew in Khan Yunis.
I was once a dedicated student studying Information Technology at Gaza University, filled with hope and dreams for my future. However, everything changed when my university was bombed, leading to the suspension of classes and depriving me of the education I valued. The airstrikes also destroyed my home and my personal computer, cutting me off from essential resources and connections.
Today, I find myself in a temporary tent in a displacement camp, living without basic necessities. For the past 10 months, we have been deprived of water, electricity, and access to nutritious food. My father is unwell, and my brother is in treatment, leaving me to bear the heavy responsibility of caring for my family amid these trying circumstances. I long to rebuild our life in Khan Yunis, but our current situation makes that seem almost impossible.
Despite these overwhelming challenges, I refuse to let go of my dreams. Education is my pathway to a better life and a chance to help my family and community heal. However, I need your help to leave Gaza and pursue further education in a safer environment where I can gain the skills necessary to support my family and contribute to rebuilding our home.
I have launched this GoFundMe campaign seeking your support. Your generous contributions will help me afford the educational opportunities I desperately need. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a significant impact on my future and the future of my family.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. With your help, I believe that I can turn my dreams into reality and bring hope back to my family's life.
Please share and like and comment and donate even a small amount 🙏.
