Hello, I'm in urgent need of assistance. I require insulin to regulate my blood sugar level. The cost is $450, and any support would be greatly appreciated. I am not seeking a large sum, just a bit of help. Please donate or reblog my pinned post. Thank you ❤️
For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.
For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.
So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.
It’s 3:20am and I just thought, why haven’t I read any Harry Potter AUs of Wolfstar yet? Find out what house they’d be in and watch them swap ties or be enemies, all the other ships do it…
Just a reminder that tomorrow (12th April) is The Day of Silence. I learnt about it yesterday so I can be wrong (please correct me if I am) it's celebrated to honor the queer students who face harassment, are bullied, ostracized or silenced. I saw a report that 9/10 LGBTQ students face verbal harassment and 1/3 of students are scared to go to school. To all of you, stay strong and safe. There's nothing wrong with you. You're awesome.
Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.
