Anyone have any good audiobook/podcast recommendations? I'm trying to find new stuff to listen to at work that'll be distracting but not too distracting.

Preferably something that's easy listening and engaging. I'm pretty open to most genres, just nothing too heavy or that requires too much brain work to keep up with. Any particularly interesting interviews with video game devs/authors are welcome too.

daily clicks for palestine

donate to feed refugees in rafah

spreadsheet of gofundmes to evacuate families

fundraiser for esims for gaza

orgs to donate to

[nicedracula]

I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.

I'll be participating in a charity livestream with other storyboard artists to raise money for careforgaza and e-sims! @tulliok and I will be live on the 4th, 5PM PST (8PM EST). Check the list above; artists such as @kianamaiart and @mak-to-the-future will be participating as well on either the 3rd or 4th.

Now's your chance to make me sketch a 1920s AU design of an MLP character I would have otherwise never designed!

Like this guy.

More than 60% of the global population that are classified as the Phase 5 famine/catastrophe level of food insecurity and starvation are in the Gaza Strip right now, and that percentage is projected to increase to 95% by Februrary

I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing

hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.

help people leave palestine (donate what you can)

Help a Family Evacuate Gaza (GoGetFunding)

Save Sanaa and her Family (Gofundme)

Save Amjad Saher and his family (Gofundme)

Help a family of 13 escape Gaza (Gofundme)

Help a Palestinian children's book illustrator save her family of 12 (Gofundme)

[nicedracula]

Rashida Tlaib has set up a petition to send to the White House to recognize and stop the ethnic cleansing and forced displacement happening in Gaza. If you’re a US citizen please sign. I have no illusions that this will change policy, but the public outcry against their actions must continue. We will not be distracted or discouraged from continuing to object to these humans rights violations.

support gaza and yemen 🇵🇸 🇾🇪 jan. 15, 2024

direct support to gaza:

esims for gaza - help keep gaza connected! plus, a purchase guide for buying esims

help ahmed (@90-ghost) evacuate his family from gaza (via paypal, kofi). gfm did not honor his successful fundraiser and he is starting from scratch.

help shayma evacuate her family (via paypal)

"I am Shayma and I’m a part of a 16-person Gazan family hoping to relocate to safety as soon as possible. Our house was bombed on November 4th and my sister martyred and left two orphans behind. I am hoping to raise enough money to get everyone out of this war-zone in hopes of building a better life abroad. Right now, due to the IOF’s constant threats, the Rafah border is closed. However, they take bribes that reach up to $7k per person to allow us out. I’ve already collected $31k outside of GFM and now am in need for a $85k more. Please help me reach my goal. Your help is much appreciated." (Text taken from gfm*)

*out of concern that gofundme may cancel fundraisers like they cancelled ahmed's, links to gfm will not be added unless any successful campaigns for palestinians are fulfilled.

charity aid: gaza and yemen

care for gaza provides on the ground food and aid to the gaza strip (via paypal)

feed yemen - as retaliation for the houthi blockade in the red sea, the un world food program has cut food aid to yemen, a country that has been under enforced starvation for nine years. donate to: islamic relief usa, mona relief (based in yemen)

the palestinian children's relief fund: the Gaza Relief and Recovery campaign aims to address urgent humanitarian needs and support long-term recovery efforts in Gaza.

i am including the un world food program which has been distributing aid in gaza but please note they have paused food aid to yemen. while this does not appear to be a retaliatory measure, you may consider this when choosing where to donate.

Legal aid for protesters:

Palestine Action targets arms manufacturers in the US and UK

Palestine Legal offers legal defense in the US for those who are arrested in the course of protest or sabotage on behalf of Palestine

this list will be updated

Drawing with a friend scribble dump, most of which ended up being The Razor

[nicedracula]

Anyway, I'd like to remind everyone that genocide is still being committed in Gaza, not just guns and bombs but with disease and starvation.

Please take a moment to support humanitarian efforts there:

Islamic Relief Fund USA

Medical Aid for Palestinians UK

Palestinian Children's Relief Fund

Medecins Sans Frontiers

Interview with Khalil Abu Yahia, in From the River to the Sea - Essays for a Free Palestine (2023)

[nicedracula]

Lit Hub has posted an article with the names, photos and biographies of the Palestinian poets and writers killed by the IOF since the beginning of October. May we remember them, their names & their poems 🍉🕊🍓🪁

"Since October 7, Israel has killed at least thirteen Palestinian poets and writers in Gaza.

If we think of ourselves as a global literary community, then these people were our fellow travelers, our peers.

They—just like the more than 66 Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza in the line of duty; just like every one of the more than 21,000 innocent people massacred in Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel over the past 75 days—deserve to be remembered."

I am not going to make rent this month. Mid-November I was laid off early from my main source of income while I attempted to work at another office, and then said office dumped me on my ass for another, "better" new hire, screwing me over and leaving me with only my second (now only) job, a grocery store position that only gives me 30 hours a week and doesn't pay enough even if I WERE to work full time.

I've been scrambling to find another second job to replace my main income, but to be frank, no one is hiring. I've put in at LEAST 30 applications in the past week and a half, only three of them have reached out for interviews, and ALL THREE of them fucking ghosted me after the interview. No rejection notice, no call, just radio silence. I don't know what I'm going to do. At this point I'm filling out every single job application I can see out of sheer desperation that one out of a hundred of them will even bother to respond to me.

Until then, I'm asking for help to keep a roof under my head until someone hires me and I can work two jobs again. Please donate anything you can IF you can because there's no hope in sight for me until someone fucking hires me and the stress of it is making me sick.
