If you've ever appreciated my posts about LGBTQ issues, this Pride month, as a favor to me, please do something to help my friend Fadel ( @fadel-dani ).

Fadel is multiply disabled.

A very serious accident left his leg paralyzed for a long time, and now he walks with great difficulty. He also has thalassemia, a blood disorder, which leaves him incredibly fatigued. The medication he needs costs €400 every month. He needs to buy medication as soon as possible, because he has not been able to afford it so far this month. He suffers from dizziness and nausea all the time because he has not been able to buy his medication yet.

Fadel needs urgent surgery

Over 550 days ago, Fadel's family home was bombed and he was left with iron shrapnel embedded in his body. The medical infrastructure in Gaza has been decimated and he URGENTLY needs to get to a better-resourced hospital to get this shrapnel surgically removed safely.

Fadel's family is starving

Israel has created and maintained famine in Gaza as a genocidal tactic. Not only do they prevent food aid from entering, but they target crowds of Palestinians waiting for the distribution of aid.

Fadel and his brothers recently traveled together to an aid site, hungry and desperate for food, only to be met with Israeli snipers.

He recounted, "I saw many martyrs die in front of my eyes. Unfortunately we fled and were not able to take any food or anything. Now we have nothing to eat. A bag of flour costs 800 euros, a kilo of sugar costs 100 euros, a kilo of tomatoes costs 50 euros, and a liter of milk costs 80 euros. What's worse is that my medication is about to run out. I don't know what to do. Should I spend my surgery money to buy medicine and food to eat, or what?"

He told me today that for the last two days his family has been rationing their remaining supplies so that they have only been able to eat once a day. They are always hungry.

Fadel's campaign is vetted

His campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters (#197) and 90-ghost.

Earlier this year he raised nearly 50% of his goal, but on April 25th, 2025, GoFundMe cruelly deleted 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 (June 22, 2025), he has has raised 39% of his goal, still over €3,000 below the amount he had raised back in April.

He has escaped death so many times, and he needs our help to survive long enough to get to a hospital who can treat his injuries.

What you can do:

Donate any amount you can to his campaign

Meet Ahmad Aldany

Ahmad Aldany is a disabled teenager living in Gaza. He was born into this world already a victim of the Israeli occupation, with lifelong health conditions impacting his bones from exposure in utero to gas from a phosphorus bomb fired in 2008.

Two years ago, Israel destroyed his home and displaced his family, forcing them, like so many other Palestinians, into a life of instability--moving from place to place in search of safety.

He witnessed horrific scenes no child should ever see: destruction, and constant fear. Ahmed wakes up at night to the sound of explosions and screams at the top of his voice because he is afraid.

The healthcare infrastructure was decimated, leaving him unable to receive the treatment he needs for his disability.

Now, the famine has become so severe that he goes long days without eating.

Donate to His Campaign

He started a campaign to raise funds for food, medicine, and to eventually travel to safety.

VETTED: @gazavetters in line (#198)

Ahmed has raised €5,240 so far, but he needs much more to be able to secure afford food for his family, get the treatment he needs, and eventually get to safety.

Share his story

He needs visibility on his campaign. Please donate what you can, share this message, and if you can, offer to write him a post to share his story with others.

I’m not saying Talia fans have to “accept” what was done to her... What I’m saying is: pretending Damian had a normal childhood, or that his trauma isn’t real, just weakens his story. It erases everything that makes his arc so strong. We don’t need to erase canon to make things better. The idea that the sex was consensual but Talia drugged Bruce to make sure she’d get pregnant? Honestly, that fits her background. It’s cold, it’s calculated, it’s very League of Shadows. And yeah, it’s messed up, but that’s the point. Damian was trained to kill. He was never allowed to be a kid.That trauma shaped him. It’s not “drama for the sake of drama” it’s literally the core of who he is. Acting like none of that happened doesn’t help Talia and definitely doesn’t help Damian.It just keeps both of them stuck in the same cycle, where nothing evolves because people are too busy ignoring what actually happened. If we want better writing for both of them, it has to start with being honest about their pasts. Redemption doesn’t come from pretending everything was fine. It comes from facing the damage and choosing to grow from it.

I’m sorry I just don’t fundamentally agree that Talia’s upbringing would lead to her assaulting the love of her life. I’m unsure if you’ve read any of Talia’s stories pre-Damian but she was never cold. Calculating, yes, but never, ever cold. And again, there aren’t any Talia fans pretending he had a normal childhood and we aren’t asking for that either.

There is no justification for what happened to Talia’s character, and Damian’s story and trauma is not more important than Talia’s story and traumas of her own. 30 years she spent chasing her freedom, she had broken free from the grip of Ra’s and her indoctrination, so no she would not then drug Bruce to get pregnant with his child. This is the same woman who said Bruce should never have children bc they would be a distraction from being Batman.

We need to stop justifying what Morrison did because people like that Damian has trauma. There are a million other paths to Damian’s trauma that don’t involve bullshit that indulges in eugenics, character assassination, racism and misogyny. I don’t really understand why people believe Damian’s story is untouchable and that Talia should have to bend to fit him. A character that has been dragged through hell the way Talia has doesn’t get true redemption because she’s nice to Damian now, or because she’s changed her ways; how do Damian or Bruce forgive what she did to them? Expecting them to forgive who is essentially their abuser doesn’t work either and no one should want that, that doesn’t send the right message and Talia deserves better

Please consider helping this Sudanese family! 13 family members rely on it since they are surviving a 2 year-long gencoide in Sudan. The country is going through the worst famine, and there is a cholera breakout!

Donate and share. They have been fundraising for a year, but donations have been painfully slow. It is the point where they have decided to lower the goal of 20K to 10K! There is $4,032 USD left to go! You can match me! I have given $5 USD, but you're more than welcome to give any amount!

This fundraiser is vetted by sudanfunds.com!

Tagging for reach. Please leave a reply if you wish to be removed. Thank you.

i'm sorry but unlike most of the fandom, i'm praying that jamie campbell bower has a small role or plays a new character, bc if his johnny depp supporting ass plays celeborn or something, i'll be eternally pissed.
