Hello everybody.

Please share resources and don’t keep silent about Palestine. Dedicate your day for them today. Do not ignore them, do not let their voices go unheard.

Here are some resources you can share around:

daily click

esims for Gaza

call for a ceasefire

donate feminine hygiene kits

learn about Palestine

Education, sources, donations

Shut it down for Palestine

Please do not ignore this post, share as much information and resources as you can for Palestine.

hi everyone its 5:37AM and i am a little delirious from the last of sleep, but i stayed up all night working on this for the world to see

i am desperately asking that you go through it in slideshow mode because there is one (1) joke hanging on that.

If you use arab.org like I do please consider taking the extra 30-60 seconds to click on ALL of their causes. Palestine is important but so are the environment, refugees, children, women, and the impoverished across the middle east and it doesn't take away from Palestine to click for multiple causes. The arab world faces a lot of problems and they only get worsened by how western nations have oppressed and attacked them. Clicking is small but it generates something and overtime it does benefit the greater good. It takes all of us clicking as often as possible but we can do it! It's really easy and safe and they have proofs on their site on how they do make an impact and are donating your click money

I’m ngl that’s so much space that uses (at least for how much fic I read) that’s crazy to me but fr this system is also admirable 🔥🔥

Where are all the girlies out there with fanfic spreadsheets or like am I just deranged bc like mines color coded and I have charts for all my stats n stuff (there is nothing more humbling than seeing you have a crippling addiction to one pairing or author 💀💀💀)

Finished OPLA and now have to deal with wanting to read zosan fic (specifically OPLA bc I’m not v familiar w anime/manga op) bc I’m in a fic deficit but also wanting to end it bc just a few weeks ago I was vehemently like “I’m never gonna watch one piece, I n e v e r will” and of all people on this godforsaken planet my p a r e n t s were the ones to get me to watch it bc they asked “is it good” and I said “I heard it was” and so they immediately clicked play and we were watching it before I could backpedal 😔😔😔

I have nothing but bad news for y'all

We were supposed to have until April to leave comments, but the cdc has officially ended the 5 day isolation period as of today, March 1st, 2024.

They're saying as long as it's been 24hrs and your symptoms are improving, you're good.

Nothing about covid has changed. Medical professionals are obviously slamming this decision. All this does is make it even more difficult to avoid long covid, because now workers will have to fight for sick days and time off they already barely have just to fucking heal from an organ damaging virus.

Idk what to say for this one.

Please keep protesting keep boycotting in everything you do

looking at (vetted) gofundmes for people trying to escape palestine and i don't know how many of you actually click on the gofundme links you reblog but i would like to point out, for what it's worth, just how amazing it is that so many have raised so much money. it may overall feel like a drop in the ocean but the fact that several gofundmes have raised tens of thousands of dollars is amazing. it is so expensive to leave gaza right now, and people still need money after they escape. but regardless of what propaganda the US, UK, canada, and other western nations are trying to pump out, people across the world are doing what they can to help these people survive. many of them are still very far from their goals (like this one and this one and this one) and some of them are very close to high goals (like this one), and some of them have reached almost double their original goal.

and that's not even addressing direct aid or organizations that take continuous donations for distribution of food, menstrual products, etc. the PCRF has raised $16,000,000 of their target goal of $20,000,000 to fund current aid and long-term relief efforts in gaza. ANERA's febuary 13th update discusses the material ways they helped palestinians today:

(ANERA donate link)

my point is, it often feels like the world is turning a blind eye to palestine. but i would like to point out that there is an important difference between "the world" and "western political leaders and media narratives". a breathtaking amount of real people, the people who make up the world, are trying to help. in the face of israel attempting to commit genocide, the world is saying No. These people deserve to live. and literally sending millions of dollars internationally, through the internet connection that israel has desperately been trying to destroy.

it may not feel like it matters in the grand scheme of things. but to the people who get fresh clothes, or a hot meal, or blankets, or the kids who get new toys, or to the people who are able to bring their families to safety, it matters to them. go make someone's day better. i've linked so many options with ways to do that.

I (and my alt @asstroyess) will be once again participating in this months strike, it will be from February 18th - February 25th!

I won’t be posting anything but Palestine (along with any other country going through oppression and genocide) related information and I encourage you to do the same! Posting about your favorite shows can wait, but Palestine cannot.

Even if you can’t do much, simply sharing as much information about Palestine as you can, can go a long way and educate others!

Here are some links to donation sites and charities as well:

Operation Olive Branch - a link to a spreadsheet of compiled fundraisers you can donate to, including many families

A Twitter Thread of Fundraisers!

Care-For-Gaza’s PayPal to donate flour bags to Gaza

Mutual Aid Diabetes’ link to multiple fundraisers to help diabetics in Gaza

Twitter Thread on how to help not only Palestine, but also Congo, Sudan, East Turkestan, Uyghurs, and more

And a Twitter thread of 7 ways to strike with links with more information!

Along with another basic how to strike if your unsure how:

one thing i've come to really appreciate about tumblr since installing it is the fundamentals of its design.

on apps like twitter, you can become so obsessed with numbers: followers, likes, views - and that kind of engagement-centred environment can mess with your mental health.

compare that to the environment tumblr presents; notes are a cumulative value of interactions;

and the individual numbers for reblogs and likes are hidden until you decide to see it.

the same goes for comments; you're not forced to see any threads or replies.

follower counts aren't even present on profiles - somebody could have 50 followers or 50,000; their blogs hold the same value.

(love you 89cats!!)

another thing i really appreciate is the energy of wellbeing behind the entire platform.

from the moment you start the app, you're presented with such a diverse array of personalised topics to follow, and to search for, to really make a space you feel comfortable in.

sometimes, people can get hooked into dms, but the first thing that arrives in your tumblr inbox is a bot designed for people to send positive messages and emotional support to each other.

i just wanted to share and express my appreciation for how this app is designed, to its roots and its intents. it seems like a fun and lovely place to be! :3
