Help Ghada and his family among the Gaza genocide!

vetted by @gazavetters, GFM is #6 on the spreadsheet

I've spoken to Ghada many times before about him and his family currently surviving in Gaza. In particular, we've spoken about Iman, a young girl with osteoporosis who desperately needed mobility aids to get around without significant pain and injury. As Ghada put it,

Unfortunately, this is the reality in war and destruction - personal items are so easily lost and destroyed as Israel continues their genocide. For a child so young to have lost so much, even her mobility, is devastating, but you can help them buy young Iman another device to help her regain some small semblance of independence and pain relief in this difficult, difficult time.

Ghada's family and community is also suffering from immense hunger as aid continues to be shut out from Gaza. Food is expensive and dangerous to come by. You can help them feed themselves, too, with even just a few dollars towards their GoFundMe.

Any amount helps. Thank you!

To Whom It May Concern,

Away from what is being reported in the media,

The situation in Gaza🍉 is catastrophic in the literal sense.

Every day, at least 100 martyrs fall — and the world knows nothing about them, half of whom perish while chasing the so-called American aid💔.

There is no cash liquidity in the Strip, which has led to a severely inflated rise in prices — for example, one kilogram of sugar now costs $100.

Hunger is ravaging the bodies of both children and adults. People are emaciated, and those with chronic illnesses are dying due to the lack of medication.

In Gaza, obtaining a single kilogram of flour can cost you your life.

What is happening in Gaza is beyond description, and what is being shown in the media does not represent even 1% of the reality.

Gaza is dying out of the world’s sight.💔

Reminder // I am writing this blog for my family. I am trying to get them to safety in the midst of war. With your help, I can do that. This is our campaign for anyone who wants to see it and donate with love for us.

5 Tiny Writing Tips That Aren’t Talked About Enough (but work for me)

These are some lowkey underrated tips I’ve seen floating around writing communities — the kind that don’t get flashy attention but seriously changed how I write.

1. Put “he/she/they” at the start of the sentence less often.

Try switching up your sentence rhythm. Instead of

“She walked to the window,”

try

“The window creaked open under her touch.”

Keeps it fresh and stops the paragraph from sounding like a checklist.

2. Don’t describe everything — describe what matters.

Instead of listing every detail in a room, pick 2–3 objects that say something.

“A half-drunk mug of tea and a knife on the table”

sets a way stronger tone than

“There was a wooden table, two chairs, and a shelf.”

3. Use beats instead of dialogue tags sometimes.

Instead of:

"I'm fine," she said.

Try:

"I'm fine." She wiped her hands on her skirt.

It helps shows emotion, and movement.

4. Write your first draft like no one will ever read it.

No pressure. No perfection. Just vibes. The point of draft one is to exist. Let it be messy and weird — future you will thank you for at least something to edit.

5. When stuck, ask: “What’s the most fun thing that could happen next?”

Not logical. Not realistic. FUN. It doesn’t have to stay — but chasing excitement can blast through writer’s block and give you ideas you actually want to write.

What’s a tip that unexpectedly helped with your writing? Let me know!! 🍒

seeing transfeminism coming from people who aren't transfem means a lot to me btw. we don't rly get a choice, it's this or be a doormat forever. others chose to stick with us even though it means they catch shit for it too. i wish solidarity was unremarkable but right now it isn't, and when i do see it it's like a sunbeam <3

From the article:

But, as Brownell explained to new customers, Smart is different from the typical craft store: Everything on its shelves has been donated. The shop is what is known as a creative reuse center. These crafting thrift stores keep leftover and unwanted art supplies out of landfills, and instead get them into the hands of other creators at affordable prices. Smart combines that model with another mission. Many of the employees and volunteers who run the shop are adults with disabilities. Over the last decade, the organization has diverted more than one million pounds of art and craft materials from landfills, while providing over 37,400 hours of job coaching, volunteering and employment for adults with disabilities.

I think this is a really great example of how expansive environmental work can be--and how it can coincide with other forms of community action.

Protests and politics aren't the most effective or sustainable form of action for everyone (though there are more diverse ways to participate in that kind of action too!)--providing a service to your community that increases sustainability and aligns with your passions and interests is also an extremely valid and needed form of environmental action.
