Palestinian father Fadi Al-Sharif is trying to help his family escape from Gaza.

They're raising $62,500 to evacuate 11 people. This includes Fadi's 9-month old baby, his parents, and his wife.

Today, they are almost halfway to their goal.

Let's get them all the way.

Will you help?

last chance to evacuate

as you may know, israel has begun its ground operation in rafah. they dropped leaflets last night ordering people to evacuate, and bombing in east rafah has already begun.

The border is about to become unreachable.

Rafah is trapped.

We have literal hours until no-one, all the GoFundMe's you've scrolled past, all the people desperately begging on TikTok, will be able to escape.

Give now. Give whatever you can.

I am fundraising for the Odeh family, which is only 3k away from meeting its goal.

you will not get another chance.

help me evacuate a family in Gaza!

only 5k needed to save six lives - link

Salah’s update as of 4/12:

“My brothers and sisters, with Allah’s blessing and your help I almost gathered the money for evacuation (25/30k). You have helped a father’s struggling mind to mobilize and make a survival plan for the family, buy the food and cook to survivive day after day, and gave me hope for escaping the horror in time. If you are still supporting me, please share today with 3 friends and donate according to your power. May Allah reward your souls!”

hi everyone! my name is Hannah, and my friends and I have been organizing to help this father, Salah Abu Odeh, evacuate his three children, wife, and mother from Gaza.

Alaa (6 y/o) is a true sweetheart and the big sister of the family

Rital (4 y/o) is the middle child and full of curiosity

Arkan (2 y/o) is still a toddler, but already wears the biggest smiles (and deeply affected by the war)

Before the war, Salah was one of the first game designers in Gaza. The family has been on the run from their home in Beit Hanoun for nearly six months, facing constant starvation and suffering.

Salah’s mother is elderly, with no access to her medication due to the Israeli siege/the collapse of the health system. She is expected to need open-heart surgery if they escape.

My friends and I have been in contact with Salah’s family on the ground and can personally verify this fundraiser.

Please, join me in helping rescue an entire family from this ongoing genocide.

This family is SO close to meeting their goal.

You can play an active role in saving human beings from suffering. This is an invitation.

Please donate whatever you are able (I gave around $30). Even if you can only give $1–this family will be grateful for it. I will be grateful.

a loose part 2 to the “Sirius Black killed James Potter” nonsense of 1981

good old-fashioned lover boy×killer queen dynamic

Sirius as a criminal is literally unbeatable. Like. He really fooled everyone over and over, and broke into houses and used fireplaces and owls to speak to Harry without getting caught. Imagine being so smart that you can make the entire ministry of magic look like idiots. I know he had help from certain people, like Kingsley, but he was the first person to ever break out of Azkaban and that’s pretty sick.

yes i knew him or i thought i did

he has the looks of a depressed english professor and the soul of a whore.

werewolves can be anything. they can be ANYTHING if you just believe. metaphor for trans. metaphor for gay. metaphor for autism. metaphor for disability. metaphor for anger issues. metaphor for generational trauma. metaphor for mental illness. metaphor for addiction. metaphor for wanting to kill someone. you can do anything with them truly

I like it when men are pretty in a way that implies there's something wrong with them. Like a dude that only wears eyeliner and loud suits from the 1970s

I am going to imagine a scene between two deeply fucked-up characters that is so improbably tender
