Meet Ahmad Aldany
Ahmad Aldany is a disabled teenager living in Gaza. He was born into this world already a victim of the Israeli occupation, with lifelong health conditions impacting his bones from exposure in utero to gas from a phosphorus bomb fired in 2008.
Two years ago, Israel destroyed his home and displaced his family, forcing them, like so many other Palestinians, into a life of instability--moving from place to place in search of safety.
He witnessed horrific scenes no child should ever see: destruction, and constant fear. Ahmed wakes up at night to the sound of explosions and screams at the top of his voice because he is afraid.
The healthcare infrastructure was decimated, leaving him unable to receive the treatment he needs for his disability.
Now, the famine has become so severe that he goes long days without eating.
Donate to His Campaign
He started a campaign to raise funds for food, medicine, and to eventually travel to safety.
VETTED: @gazavetters in line (#198)
Ahmed has raised ā¬5,240 so far, but he needs much more to be able to secure afford food for his family, get the treatment he needs, and eventually get to safety.
Share his story
He needs visibility on his campaign. Please donate what you can, share this message, and if you can, offer to write him a post to share his story with others.

I donāt believe tsw*ft is a revolutionary or even interesting artist but she *is* the only artist who has her own folder on my phone dedicated to lyrics that make me incandescent with rage so from a perverse conceptual perspective I guess something is working
#listening to Taylor swift is like listening to a siren trying to drown you in the sea#you should��nt be listening but itās such a an ear worm you canāt help it#plus who else is going to populate the playlists for my entitled type A white woman characters

(This post is brought to you by the fact that tumblr are, hilariously, claiming that 50% of current users are gen z, and I wanna see how accurate claim that is.)
My friend Zina @zinaanqar16 contacted me TODAY and told me that her daughter Ronza is suffering from malnutrition and anemia, which was confirmed after recent medical tests. She cries day and night because there is no milk or proper food available for her. She sent me pictures of her back and stomach, just some bones covering her soft skin. This innocent child should not have this happen to her. The same is true for her three siblings, who are also going hungry. Please donate to her vetted campaign (#213 on the vetted Gaza fundraisers list) so she can feed her children and keep them safe without risking her life. Food is outrageously expensive and the situation is URGENT!. Please donate and share widely!
If you would like to Donate Today, this beautiful Ronza deserves a better life as much as her eyes do.

I Love Zira's Design!ššš






Out of all the designs for the characters in Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl! We can highlight Aika's amazingly unique look for a protagonist, gush about how cute Hoshi is; laughing at their big hands gag, go gaga over Eclipse's design, & fond over how good looking Miss & Lady DeVoid are! Yet, out of all these characters....I love Zira's design the most! Most shows would often have the "nerd/loser best friend" look kinda ugly & unapproachable, but she's so pretty! In casual clothes, sports wear, & even a prom dress! I love her braids & the cute little moon charms in her hair. She gives "cute girl next door" vibes while making for a sweet love interest. Aika made a great choice befriending her! Plus, it's always a delight to see beautiful melanin characters!

Follow up to my last post, but you do realize you donāt need the authorās permission to say two characters can be gay? You do know that? I want you to realize that you know that-
#as long as you donāt force those reading onto other people live your peace#Iām sure youāll find other people that agree with that viewing#āwhat if the author queerbaits the audience and doesnāt admit the character/couple is gay?ā sometimes you open your eyes and say#the emperor is naked and move on with your day#I donāt see a point in saying āthese characters donāt count as gay rep and people are overhyping how gay it isā#like yeah itās your social media and you can complain as you want#but I can also just block/unfollow you and move on with how I view things#actually a good and current enough example of this is like Jayce and Viktor from Arcane#because I know those writers have stated that they did not intend to make them gay and YET#Thousands of people ignore that because thereās no straight explanation for how intertwined their character arcs are#are we counting that as ārepresentationā or just āfans having fun?ā#again it feels very binary and arbitrary to complain about TO ME#aj rambles

Wakes up in the middle of the night and immediately gets annoyed by two entirely unrelated things, my punishment for deciding to open up my phone
#two key things related to both is being dismissive of what other people define certain meaningful aspects of themselves (sex in one case#and representation in another)#I get really prickly at people who say āthese two characters arenāt explicitly gay in the text therefore itās not gay at allā#because I think itās entirely unfair to set a bar for what counts as representation and āgood direct gay repā#I think having a mix of rep thatās explicit AND implied by the narrative can be good#this is prickliness also came from an artist I really genuinely like straight up saying that Nana didnāt count as being gay. and thatā#totally fair if they view it that way (theyāre gay themselves) but dismissing queer readings of things is just. it frustrates me deeply#for some reason (I did immediately unfollow the artist but thatās just how I handle things internet wise for myself)#like if weāre not counting queer readings or āthey are gay but arenāt flat out stated in the media there inā then a lot of gay#representation gets erased pastā¦from maybe the 2000s backwards?#do the gay cat and fox from Courage the cowardly dog not count as representation even if itās heavily implied by the narrative thatās whatās#happening? or is that affirmed because the creator stated thatās what they were going for?#would the same logic apply to something like say#bert and Ernie?#does the age group of the audience dictate how explicit they can make their characters gay (it does but that hasnāt fully stopped people b4)#does intern matter when validating a queer reading of characters? does the authorās input even matter if they make something very gay but#*intent#deny or donāt confirm up and down that itās supposed to be gay? (Buffy and Faith or the two guys (not the brothers) from Supernatural)#because if thatās the case a lot representation that falls under that gets thrown out the window#I donāt know. I think the immediacy to dismiss what others count as gay is justā¦very binary?#like im sorry that every gay character/couple does not look into the metaphorical camera and announce they are gay#so you can place them in the box of āgay representation that actually countsā#Iām sorry that sometimes itās not the focus of a given story because the author has a plot they need to work through#and Iām sorry sometimes people view characters through a queer lens because they want to see representation in them and that somehow gets#denied on the internet#maybe the lesson here is to not read opinions on the internet and write gay characters on your own time#aj rambles

Unfortunately for Nader and his family, these futures have been taken from Gaza. Bullets fly all around them, and the occupation uses aid as a weapon while children starve. My friend Nader @abdalsalam2000 needs our support now to save his family and survive. His campaign is #4 on the gazavetters list, and the need is urgent! If you cannot donate, PLEASE share! https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-nader-alanqar-and-his-family-overcome-this-war-in-gaza

White gays are all about "listen to trans people of color!! We wouldn't be where we are without them!" until brown/black/mixed race trans men like myself try to talk about our issues facing both transphobia and racism and also dealing with the racial prejudices white society have around POC men existing then the same white gays will start pulling out every ethnic slur against you once you bring up the fact that minority men can face oppression unique to how their manhood intersects with their race cis or trans cuz God forbid white people not be the center of attention for once
