How it feels to check the @mcyt-gender-showdown polls everyday immediately after school

[clethos]

So, are you going to vote for the pretty kitty princess at @mcyt-gender-showdown, or are you just going to sit there in that bar trying to stop the feeling?

freedom for palestine within our lifetime.

please consider donating to care for gaza (twitter link w/ more information), doctors without borders, the palestine children's relief fund or another one of the many other charitable organizations working to help those affected by the ongoing attacks.

buying esims for gaza is surprisingly easy

you have to make an account but the site is pretty straightforward and since you don't have to worry about installation you basically just click purchase and forward the confirmation email. it only takes five minutes and the cheapest is $9 USD

look. i’m sick and fucking tired of seeing such horrible and inhumane responses to the global strike for palestine happening this week. it’s not just some “tumblr phenomenon”. nobody is forcing you to take off work. nobody is forcing you to take off school. use your brains and figure out that the strike is for justice in palestine. the point is to DO WHAT YOU CAN. even if that just means reblogging posts, telling a friend who might be able to do more, participate in the boycotts, make informative posts yourselves. i know that is all do-able to the majority of you. have a heart. this is not supposed to be comfortable. this is not supposed to be nice. innocent lives in Gaza are being killed by the second and the strike is to keep up the pressure for a ceasefire. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA. 🇵🇸

With more time on my hands than I have had in a while, I am opening up commissions to support the donation of eSims to Gaza! If you're interested, either DM me or email me at alwaysajelly@gmail.com. Instructions for how to purchase and donate an esim on your own can be found at gazaesims.com or at the organizer's profile @mirna_elhelbawi (instagram). 

[0/6 slots open] Check back soon for new openings!

Additional organizations looking for donations include:

@CareForGaza (Twitter)

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (https://www.pcrf.net/)

As we near the 100th day past October 7th, I implore everyone to continue to talk about Palestine, to share Palestinian voices, to learn more about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and subsequent Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, to not look away, and to call for an immediate sustained ceasefire.

There is still hope. Say it out loud. Palestine will be free. The Palestinian people will celebrate their culture and heritage with each other. We will love and be loved. Do not fall into the trap of despair.

Hi everyone, it’s Bisan from Gaza, I am still alive Alhamdullah.. it’s been 107 days of genocide, 15 weeks, 2568 hours of killing us, taking over our homes and lands in Gaza Strip, and forcing us to choose between leaving or death.. and sometimes we can’t even choose.. the Israeli air strikes simply kill us without any warnings. Now, we are without any connection, neither the internet nor the cellular, we can’t reach each other’s inside Gaza, we don’t know if our families and friends are alive or not, wounded or not.. still in their places or not! We take hours of walking and searching to reach someone, while moving became very risky! We can’t reach to you as well! The footage, information and news from Gaza are not reaching you as before because the Israeli army intentionally destroyers the signal towers and the servers, even using the E-SIM requires being in a high place which is very risky!. I borrowed this vest to upload this post! I am not scared of death, but of being displaced, scared of losing my family or friends, scared of being wounded and can’t have my treatment because the health system is collapsed in Gaza, and to die in pain! I am not scared of the destruction.. I lost my work place.. my home and my family work place and source of income, I am terrified of being killed by an occupier, and to be forgotten, one oppressed Bisan of a whole occupied people. The strongest governments and weapons manufacturers are supporting this genocide against my people, and you are our only hope! STRIKE globally and call for a ceasefire! Strike, protest, stop the economic movements and make pressure on your countries to stand against this and stop it, if ISRAhell don’t find the financial and weapons support, or governments to hide their crimes they will be forced to stop the genocide! Go to the streets, protest and Globally strike for a week, (21-28) January! YALLA Brave and free people of the world, CEASEFIRE NOW!

There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.

They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.

i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know i will see the day palestine is free and i will see her shake the dust of occupation from her heels. i know the old people and children of her history will return to their ancestral homes, their houses, their valleys, their olive groves, not to to set their roots down again because their roots have always been there, will always be there, but to grow again, bear fruit for harvest, and never be cut down again. i know palestine will be free. i grieve for palestine and dream of palestinian joy.
