My child in an interview with Al Jazeera

[jacobaco]

If it is impossible fully process this magnitude of trauma & it is - I must at least commit to being haunted by it. Only if I am haunted by it can I be moved. We need a world of emotionally & psychologically moved human beings. We need feelers who become doers. It is the dissociated & dehumanizing who currently run our world. We desperately need the actions of the haunted.

excerpt from Mohammed El-Kurd's feature in 'Commit to being haunted', by Shira Erlichman

‏‎‏O merciful heart, O lover of goodness and giving..🥺💔🙏🏻

‏‎‏Hello, I am Oday from Gaza, Palestine 🇵🇸 This is my third account after the other two accounts were suspended. I am fighting for everyone and I just want to help with my campaign. I did not do anything illegal. I only asked for help. I created a go fund me campaign to get me and my family out of Gaza I followed my campaign and it was verified by @el-shab-hussein / We live in very difficult living conditions. I contracted viral hepatitis as a result of malnutrition, and there is no treatment here. We die every day from the heat of the tent and the insects and scorpions that constantly accompany us. My sister is about to give birth to her first child. Our biggest fear is where will this child live in these conditions? Help me bear the costs of leaving Gaza. I hope you will help us by donating or republishing. Rest assured that every $5 can make a huge difference in our lives

‏‎‏Your support and contributions are very important to us

‏‎‏Help me by donating or sharing the campaign link 👇🏻🙏🏻❤️

Hi Oday,

I have read your message here, your story on you GFM page, and see that you've raised nearly 2500 EUR towards your goal of 50k. It's a daunting number to which my own debts pale in comparison.

My financial situation makes it difficult to give, but I can amplify here to my 1000 followers and on my TikTok where I have 5000. I hope your burdens will be lighter, and soon.

stop watching anything with gal gadot in it — that ESPECIALLY includes marvel. they’re not even good anyway lmao. military-sponsored propaganda.

“not watching something” is genuinely the bare minimum. it’s the simplest boycott that could be asked of you.

following this dude on insta who only has 5k of 35k on his sons evac fund and im so confused cuz he has multiple microinfluencers making videos abt him, hes been consistently posting and asking for donations for at least two months, hes DMing everyone he sees, he's even got ppl printing his story out and pasting it up apparently. yet only at 5k? after all that time and effort?

here he is

fundraising on here is genuinely making me cynical in ways that feel so fucking foul, do you know how it feels to sit here trying to come up with 'strategies' to tell a new interesting story every day to get people's attention for someone surviving a literal genocide. like genuinely i do not want to believe that most people are so thoughtless and careless that they would turn away from mohammed and his family simply because one of my posts doesn't catch their attention like a youtube thumbnail but what am i supposed to think when every 18–24 hours the campaign stagnates again because i miscalibrated and people didn't see a perfectly cute kid photo or enough coloured text. idek what to say i wish that i had a million krona and i would just fund the whole thing and not ever think about how to package a story so that a genocide can generate compelling social media posts day in and day out. it's the polar fucking opposite of how i ever want to think about this atrocity it makes me feel dirty and slimy and not even dirty enough to be reliably succeeding. i just want people to fucking care enough for them to buy a packet of biscuit rations on the black market and it's like pulling fucking teeth

it's been a hot minute. this place was such a quintessential part of my coming-of-age that it feels foolish to have ever stayed away for so long; save for a nostalgic reblog or two.

i've been feeling like my orbit has been disrupted by something with more pull than I have ever experienced before. so i think it'd be therapeutic to come back to a place that feels like home.

“The time will pass anyway” absolutely shifted my mind

wait ok this is actually one that has caused some contention before when I've talked to people about it. reblog and tag whether or not you check the weather prediction every day before going out

macarons are deeply fascinating to me. it’s such a precise science with so many highly sensitive variables. all to create a pastry that isnt that good

[jacobaco]

the world keeps moving all around me. i go outside and watch people buy in abundance, complain about traffic. i watch influencers sell us their latest makeup product, hair product, selfie light, stanley cup, starbucks order. the construct of whiteness has created two worlds. one where bombs fall somewhere far away and people think the greatest inconvenience is a boycott. and another world where we stay up to memorize faces under rubble, hold on to lines of poetry during the 100th day of bombing, and wait wait wait for a different ending to a very old story. i want no part in their world of comforts, in their life of escapism. how can i escape the orphaned child,a US bomb falling on him, signed off by my million luxuries. how can i continue looking people in the eye.
