Rebuild with Me: A Journey from Destruction to Hope

✅ This campaign ✅ 🔍 Vetted by: @90-ghost here 🔍 Vetted by association in this post 🔍 Verified by @gazagfmboost (on this list)

👇 "Delve into the depths – Reveal the whole truth."

🚨 Urgent Appeal 🚨

Opportunities in life are rare, and when destruction strikes, they can feel like they’ve vanished. But I believe that with strong willpower and support, we can create new opportunities even from the ashes. My name is Osama Basil, and I’m a web developer from Gaza. For nearly a year, I’ve been living through the horrors of war. My office, where I poured my heart into my work, was demolished, and with it, my livelihood, dreams, and ability to provide for my family were shattered.

Each day, life in Gaza becomes increasingly harsh. Destruction and devastation have woven themselves into the fabric of our daily existence, leaving deep scars on our community. The loss of so many friends, colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones weighs heavily on our hearts. Despite these overwhelming challenges, I refuse to give up.

The war took nearly everything from me—my job, my dreams of marriage, the opportunity to pursue a master’s degree in programming and web design, and my ability to support my family. Forced to flee to Rafah with my loved ones, we’ve spent months living in a tent, struggling to survive without reliable access to electricity and the internet—both crucial for my work and our daily life. The lack of stability has made it difficult to maintain even the simplest routines, yet I refuse to let these hardships define me. Every day is a test of resilience, pushing me to adapt and find new ways to continue my work and provide for my family, no matter the obstacles.

Campaign Goals:

I’ve set a goal of €15,000 to rebuild my office, restore my work, and continue my education. This funding will enable me to pursue a master's degree, which is crucial for advancing my career and contributing to a brighter future for Gaza. More importantly, it will allow me to support my family, who have been deeply affected by our current circumstances.

I’ve outlined how your donations will help achieve this goal. You can find all the details through the campaign link below. Your support means the world to me and my family

With deepest gratitude, Osama Basil

someday we’ll sign the lease on an apartment together and we’ll slide around the empty hardwood floors and eat take out until we move our stuff in and we get to set up our life together

hot take, but I wish mainstream education about "LGBTQ+ issues" was less about telling people to clock & out people in an "inclusive" way and more about teaching perisex cisgender heterosexual people about the artificiality of their own sex & gender & sexuality

like tell the perisex cis straight woman how her sexed traits are constructed by her environment (what exercise and foods and hobbies and footwear were encouraged and discouraged?) and medicalized treatments (does she ever wonder why she gained weight and got bigger boobs when starting birth control? why it influenced her acne and libido? she's ingesting feminizing hormones) and bodily modifications (does she have pierced ears?) and daily rituals to hide traits to achieve a culturally normative gendered appearance (does she shave her legs and pubic mound and underarms? does she wear make-up? false eyelashes? press on nails? does she wear a bra? heels? a wig?).

tell her how her understanding of her gender as "woman" is historically contingent (how does she describe her personality and which of those traits make her feel more "girly" or more "tomboy"? if she never gets married would she feel she has failed in life? why? does she view herself to be more nurturing than men around her? does she view herself to be more nurturing than the women around her? why or why not? how does that make her feel? does she expect to be sexually harassed or assaulted at some point in her life because of her gender? has she already experienced misogynistic sexual violence? how does that impact how she relates to other people? how does that impact her decisions, behavior, and ideas about her worth as a person?)

tell her how her sexuality is influenced by contemporary beauty standards with specific political histories (why does she like to be seen with men who are taller than she is? why does she want to have sex with men who have large penises? does she have a preference for men with traits that align with the values of the eugenics movement as it was expressed within her own country in the century preceding her birth, e.g. lighter skin, able-bodied, "physically fit," "intelligent," "masculine"? How does she determine who fits these categories and where does she draw lines about specific traits that place someone within or outside of the category? would she have had these same preferences in cultural contexts that valued other traits? would the categories for what traits were conceptually relevant to sexual preference even be the same?)

like I'm kind of exhausted with trying to prove that I am real, and I would instead like to suggest that if perisex cis het people believe I am "unnatural," they should be reminded that they are just as "unnatural" as I am. be humble.

Hello dear friends! ❤🤍🖤💚

🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from an extended family of young children, women and elderly people ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days from an aggressive war.

Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and unattainable. There is no food, no water, no medicine.

So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we had lost all our sources of livelihood.Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost.
