This was our home… now it’s gone

🇵🇸 save family lost their home ,dreams and everything in Gaza 🇵🇸

This is my home before the war and after the war how it became💔💔💔

Before: After:

💔 I never thought I’d write something like this… But we’ve truly lost everything.

We had a simple home — nothing fancy — but it was ours. Filled with laughter, memories, and years of hard work. Then, in one moment, it was all gone. Our home was bombed. Reduced to rubble.

Since then, we’ve been moving from place to place. No stability. No privacy. No safety. Just trying to survive each day.

We also lost our jobs. Our source of income. Our sense of normal life. We’re not living — we’re barely getting by.

This isn’t easy to share. But we’re asking, with all humility, for your help.

We are asking you with all shame to support and stand by us in these difficult circumstances that everyone knows because we lost our home, our work and any stable source of income. Thank you all.

We have been through many wars before, but this war was not like the ones before it. Our lives were turned upside down. We became displaced from one place to another. We are the Anas family, residents of northern Gaza, specifically in the Shujaiya area. In the first week of the war, we fled our home because everyone considered our home to be in a dangerous area. We moved to the Rimal area, specifically in the middle of Gaza. There, we received the news that our home, which contained all our beautiful memories, was bombed. Suddenly, it was gone!!! Just thinking that your home, which you worked hard on and built from scratch and took a lot of your life, was gone in less than a second ! After a while, we left the sands to the Al-Zawaida area because of the heavy shelling. We stayed there for about two weeks, and then the terrorist army asked us to go to Rafah. We actually fled for the fourth time to Rafah and stayed there for two months, some of the most difficult days of our lives, as there was no way or means to live a normal life. 😔😔

‼️Helping me means helping 5 members of my family..‼️

🥶We're freezing🥶

Hello, I'm Wasim from Gaza, in Al-Mawasi specifically... My family and I were displaced from Rafah after hardship, bombing, displacement, and hunger.😭😔

Now we have been away from our city and our beautiful home for 9 months. We have lost our house that my father built stone by stone and he worked 24/7 to build this house. But the occupation destroyed it, and no house remained in my beautiful city remained intact.😭💔💔

We are now living in a tent or semi-tent, which does not protect us from the cold of winter or the rain. Our lives are very difficult.😔😭

Thanks to your donations, we have been able to buy food and flour, and now I am asking you for help to buy a tent that will protect us from the cold of winter. We do not know what it means to sleep because of the extreme cold.🥶

This is our tent made of fabric and some nylon, not closed on one side. We are freezing from the cold. Help us to buy a new tent. You are our last hope.😭🥶🥶🙏

I also want to ask for help for my mother, who is the most precious thing in my life. Without her, I am nothing...

She has a back cartilage disease and is in great pain. She needs physical therapy, medicine, and vitamins, and I am unable to provide them. Help my mother receive treatment.🙏🙏😭

Urgent Help Needed for Family in a War Zone

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Soheila, and I am a mother of five children living in an area heavily affected by war. My husband, Shadi, has been injured by a gunshot and is in urgent need of medical treatment. Unfortunately, our situation is worsening every day. We have no food, and we are slowly dying from hunger. The price of a bag of flour has reached $680, which we simply cannot afford.

My little daughter is still drinking milk, and we have nothing to feed her. The situation in our area has become unbearable, as the military has declared it a danger zone, and we have no money to move to a safer place.

My children are crying for food, and I am unable to provide anything for them. We urgently need your help. We appeal for donations to help us afford a bag of flour ($500), or $200, $100, or whatever amount you can contribute to help us survive and escape this dire situation.

This is my daughter, Mira, and she is in the hospital due to lack of food. I ask you to save our lives, save my children from death before it is too late Please save us, donate to us, please help me, we are dying slowly Please save us, donate now.

Please, we beg you to save our lives in this critical moment. Your support would make a huge difference.

My daughter Mira is now in the hospital due to lack of food and she is slowly dying. Please save us. Please save us. Donate to us. Please help me save our lives

May God bless your efforts, and we are waiting for any kind of support.

By June 11, we’ll be evicted if we don’t pay $900. I have four children. Their education will stop too. We have nowhere else to go—only a tent in the street, under bombing and disease. We left the tent to stand strong, not to return defeated. Please help us hold on. Donate now for our children's future and don't ignore it. For the sake of humanity 💔 don’t leave us alone in this injustice.

‘If you see this video, we are being intercepted and kidnapped’

Greta Thunberg has shared a pre-recorded video appealing for international help.

“My name is Greta Thunberg, and I am from Sweden,” Thunberg said in the video recorded on board the Madleen, before tonight’s events.

“If you see this video, we are being intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel,” she said.

“I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible.”

«Tuve que reflexionar sobre qué tipo de ansiedad provoca la aparición pública de alguien que es abiertamente gay, o que presume de ser gay, alguien cuyo género no está conforme con las normas, alguien cuya sexualidad desafía las prohibiciones públicas, alguien cuyo cuerpo no puede conformarse a ciertos ideales de morfología. ¿Qué motiva a aquellos que se sienten impulsados a matar a alguien que ha reconocido públicamente su condición transgénero? El deseo de matar a alguien, o el hecho de hacerlo, por no ajustarse a las normas de género por las cuales una persona se «supone» que vive sugiere que la vida misma requiere una serie de normas bajo las que ampararse, y que estar fuera de ellas o vivir fuera de ellas, equivale a cortejar a la muerte. La persona que amenaza con violencia procede desde una creencia ansiosa y rígida que mantiene que un sentido del mundo y del yo será radicalmente socavado si se permite a tal persona no categorizable vivir en el mundo social. [...] Esta violencia emerge de un profundo deseo de mantener el orden del género binario natural o necesario, de convertirlo en una estructura, ya sea natural, cultural o ambas, contra la cual ningún humano pueda oponerse y seguir siendo humano. [...] entonces parece que la violencia emerge precisamente como una demanda de deshacer dicho reconocimiento, de cuestionar su posibilidad, de convertirlo en irreal e imposible frente a cualquier apariencia de lo contrario. Entonces, esto no es una simple diferencia de puntos de vista. Contrarrestar dicha oposición incorporada a la violencia equivale, de hecho, a decir que este cuerpo, este desafío a una versión aceptada del mundo es y será impensable.»

─ Judith Butler, "Deshacer el género" (2006), pgs. 58-60

[altercrux]

«[...] Ser oprimido implica algún tipo de existencia previa como sujeto, que se está allí como el otro visible y oprimido por el sujeto amo, como un sujeto posible o potencial, pero ser irreal es, repito, otra cosa. Para ser oprimido, se debe ser, en primer lugar, inteligible. Darse cuenta de que se es fundamentalmente ininteligible (que incluso las leyes de la cultura y del lenguaje te estimen como una imposibilidad) es darse cuenta de que todavía no se ha logrado el acceso a lo humano, sorprenderse a uno mismo hablando solo y siempre como si fuera humano, pero con la sensación de que no se es humano; darse cuenta de que el lenguaje de uno está vacío, que no te llega ningún reconocimiento porque las normas por las cuales se concede el reconocimiento no están a tu favor.»

so after an anon asked me about it in my inbox (idek if they'd want this or not lmao), i've decided to go ahead and coin my own term & flag!! it's for mspec (especially bisexuals) who prefer to be exclusively sapph4sapph, reclaiming "febfem" from terfs. i'm calling it "camellian", and i'll explain why below. reblogs appreciated, and it's f2u!!

pink flowers are a symbol of love, and the color is very closely related to and associated with purple, the color of violets. but i didn't want to base the term on the famous sapphic flower, as it's likely that's been done multiple times before already. camellias in particular are seen as a way to tell someone you miss them, which i personally vaguely tie to the sorrowful idea that febfem was in theory a decent idea, but it was made in bad faith and is used in bad faith. (source)

i'm not sure if you noticed, but the flag's scheme subtly reflects both the sapphic and bi colors together - that was intentional. :)

i predict not everyone will agree with my idea to coin this, but i don't see anything wrong with sapph4sapph just because we're not lesbians. i simply consider it an extension of the preference system bisexuals have. some, like me, may only prefer to date girls. you do not have to associate yourself as reclamations of febfems either, or have anything to do with them. i would rather camellian be seen as its own unique identity label. you also do not have to use it just because it may apply to you.

i would also like it to be known as an extra note that sapphilleans who wish to be included, are. if you consider yourself such but only want to be in sapphic relationships, that's valid!! it does not erase your attraction to men and/or achillian identity if you do not want it to.

suena un poco extraño, pero me encantaría encontrar más palabras en castellano para poder hablar sobre identidades cuir* (queer) que creo que sólo se pueden mencionar en inglés. en concreto, si bien entiendo que "butch" = marimacho / machona, al menos siendo un tipo de sinónimo para butch (ya que es la palabra que tenemos en mis dos países), hay otros términos como "stud" que no tienen un sinónimo lo suficientemente bueno como para englobar el contexto racial de la palabra, por ejemplo; o dyke, y otros miles de términos referidos a identidades cuir que son especialmente importantes. es como que nos encerramos a utilizar de forma prestada palabras anglosajonas y como que evitamos en parte poder adaptarlas a nuestras experiencias (que están inherentemente vinculadas con nuestras culturas, distintas a las anglosajonas) es importante entender que tienen un contexto originario concreto, y no digo, claro, que debamos cambiar el significado de cada identidad (en cualquier caso, en muchas ocasiones los términos van evolucionando), sino poder tener un vocabulario propio que no requiera entender antes el inglés para poder poner nombres a identidades que personas no anglosajonas tenemos y que compartimos con los anglosajones (y con personas de todo el mundo, claro). me sabe un poco amargo, no lo sé

No safety. No food. No aid. No water. No healthcare. No education. Is this what it means to live? Is this what world accept as life?

If a group of animals were trapped, starved, and cut off from the world like this, people would be outraged. But because it's us—human beings—somehow, the world looks away.

These are unbearable days. Everything feels heavy. Each hour presses on my chest like I’m being suffocated.

My family needs urgent help.

Basic survival has become nearly impossible. Bread—just bread—now costs over $25 a day to make.

We are not asking for luxury. We are begging for life.
