Meet Ahmad Aldany
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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 €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 don’t 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

(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!šŸŒ˜šŸ’œšŸŒ 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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 don’t need the author’s permission to say two characters can be gay? You do know that? I want you to realize that you know that-

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 ā€˜these two characters aren’t explicitly gay in the text therefore it’s not gay at all’#because I think it’s entirely unfair to set a bar for what counts as representation and ā€˜good direct gay rep’#I think having a mix of rep that’s 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 didn’t count as being gay. and that’#totally fair if they view it that way (they’re gay themselves) but dismissing queer readings of things is just. it frustrates me deeply#for some reason (I did immediately unfollow the artist but that’s just how I handle things internet wise for myself)#like if we’re not counting queer readings or ā€˜they are gay but aren’t flat out stated in the media there in’ then a lot of gay#representation gets erased past…from maybe the 2000s backwards?#do the gay cat and fox from Courage the cowardly dog not count as representation even if it’s heavily implied by the narrative that’s what’s#happening? or is that affirmed because the creator stated that’s 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 hasn’t fully stopped people b4)#does intern matter when validating a queer reading of characters? does the author’s input even matter if they make something very gay but#*intent#deny or don’t confirm up and down that it’s supposed to be gay? (Buffy and Faith or the two guys (not the brothers) from Supernatural)#because if that’s the case a lot representation that falls under that gets thrown out the window#I don’t know. I think the immediacy to dismiss what others count as gay is just…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 ā€˜gay representation that actually counts’#I’m sorry that sometimes it’s not the focus of a given story because the author has a plot they need to work through#and I’m 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
