do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

My friend Fadel ( @fadel-dani ) relies on asking strangers for money in order to survive. It is an extremely vulnerable and precarious position for anyone to be in, even in otherwise stable conditions. But he does not have the privilege of living within otherwise stable conditions.

He is a young man with a chronic illness for which he cannot afford the medication.

He survived Israel bombing his family's house, leaving him homeless and severely injured.

Shrapnel is still deep in the tissue of his body, causing chronic pain, because the medical infrastructure in Gaza is decimated and he must travel outside the country to receive surgery as soon as possible.

The availability of food has dropped and the price of food has raised dramatically as the people of Gaza endure a genocidal famine.

During all of this, Fadel has spent his very limited energy building relationships with strangers in the hopes that enough of us can help him to raise the money he needs to get to a hospital for surgery and treatment. He got his campaign vetted by @gazavetters list (#197), @90-ghost, and @a-shade-of-blue to make sure that people would trust him.

He raised nearly 50% of his goal, only for GoFundMe to cruelly delete his fundraiser with no warning or explanation (something this company has done to many Palestinians trying to survive genocide) and he was forced to start over with a new campaign. Despite GoFundMe's deletion of his first campaign automatically returning all donations to the donors, most people who previously donated have not taken the time to send that money back to him.

Today as I write this (May 25, 2025) he has only raised 23% of his goal, just under half of where he had been a month ago when his previous campaign was deleted.

Please, please send some money to Fadel. Every campaign by someone surviving genocide is urgent, everyone is trying to escape to safety and avoid bombing. Fadel has been bombed already and desperately needs medical care for his injuries. He is a generous, compassionate young man, and I have no doubt in my mind that were positions reversed and you were in his place, he would help you to survive. Please offer him the same compassion.
