Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”

I'm taking a break from tumblr but I just came on here to put a link to the Anti-Racism Movement of Lebanon to help African Migrant Workers part of the Kafala system (modern day slavery) who were left behind by their employers who fled. In some cases, their employers locked them in their houses and told them to watch after their belongings while the neighborhoods were literally being bombed and took their passports so the workers can't even flee Lebanon back to their homelands. The workers have also consistently been facing prejudice and racism — everytime they try to find shelter, they're kicked out because they're not Lebanese.

The Anti Racism Movement of Lebanon (@armlebanon on instagram) is trying to find ways to help these communities. Here is their account and a place where they're fundraising to try and help the Migrant workers.

URGENT: Adoption Request: Tawfik has 280 hours to pay his tuition.

Sep 26: The goal is now different but the pace is the same. See under the cut for more details.

If he doesn't, he will have wasted USD $2,500 on registration fees he won't be refunded for.

I don't have the time right now to focus on fundraising like I did in the recent past. Tawfik and I need YOUR support to make this happen. Even if you can't donate, I highly encourage you to adopt this campaign, promote it, keep track of updates, and/or share with others. You can write your own post or spread this one. If you adopt this campaign, I'd appreciate if you left a reply for our peace of mind.

My other promotions

Updated: Sep 26

Member(s): @tawfikblog, @90-tawfik

Verification: @/90-ghost

Payment methods: PayPal, Venmo, Google Pay, credit/debit. Here is his aunt's Paypal for him where he can see the daily progress (proof under cut).

Summary: Tawfik's campaign needs to reach $3,700 3,600 USD by UTC Sep 27, 7pm so he can enroll in online university classes for the semester. The second part of his tuition will probably be around a total of $5,000 by Oct 7, check the most recent version of this post for an update.

Current progress:

USD $ 1,087 3,340 / 3,600

(short term / 18,860)

Campaign details:

Tawfik is a software engineering student in Palestine trying to continue his education by enrolling in online classes at an Egyptian university.

He already raised roughly USD $2,500 in late July through a now closed Paypal campaign and paid the school as an application and reservation fee. This is nonrefundable.

I have gotten new information about Tawfik's campaign - sorry I didn't ask about this earlier and I will do so for similar promotions in the future. His tuition can be split into 2 installments: one due Sep 30 and the other Oct 10.

Now he needs to get his campaign to $3,700 3,600 for the first part of his tuition by Sep 27 so he can pay it by Sep 30, 12am in Egypt's timezone.

This number accounts for additional fees, see math section below.

Tawfik's friend transfers him the money daily and the next transfer is UTC Sep 27, 7pm (around 23.5 hours from the time I write this. We must make the goal by this time.

Transfers to Tawfik take 2 days, his payment to the school is immediate, and the money needs to be paid by Sep 30 in Egypt.

Fortunately, the way I've scheduled this gives some leeway but I'd rather we get the money in asap.

The second goal is $1,200 by Oct 10 (not accounting for any additional fees and transfer times). I will update this post shortly after we pay off the first installment.

Math:

Please let me know if I screwed up the calculation somewhere.

Goal 1 (Sep 27):

Update Sep 26: I recalculated based on concrete donation amounts vs a safe overestimate. Basically, he needs $3,600 and not $3,700.

He only needs $3,500 in his gfm to get $2,050 with an estimated 120 donations (200 total donations)

($3,500 - $1,052) * 0.971 - (0.3 * 120) = $2342. This accounts for the gfm fee of 2.9% and $0.3 per donation.

$2342 * 0.88 = $2,061. This accounts for the 12% cut the bank takes and is what Tawfik gets.

This is cutting it too close for comfort so I'm setting the campaign goal to $3,600.

Older calculation:

Tawfik has already spent the $1,052 already earned to care for his family, so it is excluded from my calculation for now. From my memory, he had ~80 donations when I made this post.

His base tuition cost is USD $2,050. GFM will take 2.9% and $0.3 of an assumed 200 to 250 donations. The resulting fee is rounded up to $150.

His bank transfer fee is 12% of $2,050 - $150, which is $228. In the end, he only gets $1,672.

So to cover additional fees, he'll need around an extra ~$600 (I've accounted for the fees on this too).

$2,050 + $600 + $1,052 (campaign money he already used) = $3,702. This can be rounded down to $3,700 as I am overestimating the number of donations.

Goal 2 (Oct 7)

He needs an additional $1,200. With gfm's 2.9% cut and 0.3 per an assumed 100 donations (an overestimate), the gfm fee can be rounded up to $70.

His bank transfer fee is 12% of $1,200 - $70, which is $136. In the end, he only gets $994.

So to cover additional fees, he'll need around an extra ~$375 (I've accounted for the fees on this too).

$3,600 + $375 + $994 = $4,969. This amount is an estimate and highly subject to change. I've overestimated the amount of donations needed to hit goal 1 and when we get there, we'll likely have already made an excess of funds that can go towards goal 2. I am not updating goal 1 because I don't want too many old versions of this post floating around causing confusion.

Update Sep 25: Tawfik saying to donate to his aunt's PayPal because his was having issues
