Little Majd needs your help
Majd Al-Habeel @youseffamily has known little of life without suffering. After losing his home to IOF bombardment, he and his parents were forced to live in a tent. This wreaked havoc on Majd’s health, as he is diagnosed with a serious respiratory illness that limits his ability to breathe. Living in a tent leaves one exposed to dust, dirt, debris, vermin, mold, fungus, and harsh weather—the worst possible environment for a child with his condition.
His family requires mutual aid to provide for Majd’s life-saving care, as well as to procure food, water, medications, other supplies, and clothing and gear for winter. They are a little over two-thirds of the way to their current listed goal, with still a long way to go. Please help this family out and give sweet Majd a better chance at life.
Thank you❤️

My first awareness post yippee (also enjoy my silly lil drawing of Derpy)
This is about a neurotypical phenomenon called inspiration porn (no, it's not actual porn). Inspiration porn is when neurotypical people romanticize disabled people in a piece of media. I have seen this in the movie The Unbreakable Boy (watch I'm Autistic, Now What's video on that movie on YouTube). They basically treat being autistic as this miracle and a blessing. From my experience as an undiagnosed autistic person, autism sucks to have for me. Inspiration porn isn't just targeted at autistic people though. It's targeted at people with all kinds of disabilities, physical and mental (for example, those people that romanticize BPD, depression, etc). About The Unbreakable Boy, they make it seem like having autism equals enjoying life 24/7 and all that jazz. The actual person that this movie/memoir is based on was at the premier. He was constantly cut off while he was speaking and wasn't physically handed the microphone (they just held it out for him to speak into, and maybe he didn't want to hold the microphone and that's perfectly fine). He even said his life was almost nothing like the movie/memoir. The actor that played him doesn't even get enough screentime and this movie isn't even about him. Both the movie and the memoir are about his dad. If you want to learn more about The Unbreakable Boy and why it's problematic, please watch I'm Autistic, Now What's video on it. They explain it really well.
And since this is an awareness post, let's talk about the countries and groups of people that are experiencing genocide and ethnic cleansing (trigger warning)
PALESTINE 🍉: Palestine is the #1 country in the world with the most child amputees. Israel is getting even more savage on Ramadan.
SUDAN 🇸🇩: Women and children in Sudan are getting brutally raped every single day by the RSF. Women are too frightened to go outside because of that.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO 🇨🇩: Literal babies in The Congo are mining coltan, a material used in most technology. Babies in The Congo are also being sold in bags.
UKRAINE 🇺🇦: The US cut off humanitarian aid for Ukraine because of Tronald Dump. They are still being bombed by Russia.
LEBANON, SYRIA, AND YEMEN 🇱🇧🇸🇾🇾🇪: Israel is also bombing these countries.
AFGHANISTAN 🇦🇫: Girls' education in Afghanistan is ended when they're 11. Women can't even be seen in windows because of the Taliban.
UYGHUR MUSLIMS 🫐: The Uyghur Muslims in China are being detained in concentration camps. Their culture is slowly being erased by China.
IRAN 🇮🇷: The Iranian government reduced the age of consent from 16 to 9.
DEPORTATION OF IMMIGRANTS IN THE US 🇺🇸: Tronald Dump is even deporting legal immigrants to "help clean up America". They are also building concentration camps for those immigrants.
Nadine is a high school student from Jabaliya. Her home, school, and study supplies were completely destroyed. She and her family have been repeatedly displaced, and are currently living in a tent. The tent leaves them exposed to the elements, and the density of families in tents living near each other has worsened the pollution and sanitation crisis. Now Nadine’s father has fallen ill, and the family has no money to find treatment for him. Nadine wants to raise money to procure treatment for her father, and to be able to continue her education.
Nadine’s campaign has only 2 donors so far, amounting to $35 CAD/$25 USD. Please support and help circulate her campaign!
Nadine’s campaign is vouched for by @bshaeromars-blog
