queer people are getting the short end of the stick again so we'd appreciate some help in our move π
Hi! we're Niya and Charley, a bisexual Russian woman and lesbian American enby living in Batumi, Georgia, for the past two years. We've been in a loving relationship for 8 year now.
We are currently looking into moving to Mexico, as that is another place both of us have easy access to a half year visa.
Moving countries has never been an easy decision, but we've done it before, and with your help, we can do it again, for the sake of our safety.
The Heritage Foundation have outright admitted they intend for """The Kids Online Safety Act""" to be weaponized against LGBTQ+/abortion information and any form of sexual expression on the internet, that is IF the drump wins the election in November.
KOSA very recently passed the "mark up" stage in the House Committee on Energy & Commerce, and now, according to the EFF, the bill is being considered in the US House this week. So now is the perfect time to call/pester your house representatives to shoot this unconstitutional bill down for good.
If you're unsure of how to contact and make your piece known to your House representatives, here's a handy resources guide, complete with call scripts written specifically for democrats and republicans!
Make no mistake, this bill will not just affect millions of people in the states, this will also affect the wider web across the world. So for international folk, you can also sign the petition here!
I believe taking these actions may end up working, because even House representatives are beginning to doubt this bill is in anyway a good thing actually. All we have to do now is pile on the pressure!
There is no sugar coating this bill, and more and more people are starting to see it for what it is; KOSA is a trojan horse for internet censorship.
Call your representatives and demand they kill it once and for all.
are you in/around Ohio? do you want two of the most perfect kittens in the world? do you want to do me a solid?
my friend has these two kitties that she's trying to rehome, and since I've done a few Kitten Rehomings on tumblr, I would like to do it again!!
INFO:
- green eyes kitten's name is Emmit, blue eyes is July! (you can rename them obv though)
- they're both very fluffy and in excellent health
- they are extremely, extremely socialized, and they don't want to do anything except be on your face and/or body. they are bottomless pits of love and affection, motivated purely by their need to snuggle.
- they love eachother, and need to be rehomed as a pair! which is a pro, not a con, imo, bc they can keep eachother company when you aren't there.
if you're interested at all, or you have specific questions, you can hit me up in tumblr IMs! or if you prefer email, use my commission email: [email protected]
STAGNANT CAMPAIGN: HELP MARAM & AHMED REACH 35K BY 09/31
My friend Ahmed and his wife Maram's campaign to evacuate Gaza has STAGNATED at only ONE donation in 2 days. Ahmed and his family are nervous when their funding stops as they rely on this money to survive, and after almost 1 year of displacement and death surrounding them in Gaza, they are eager to finally raise enough to both escape and live off of when the time is right.
Please, help them break stagnation and achieve at least β¬35k before September is over. They are so, so close, only needing β¬1,955. Any amount counts, from β¬5 to however much you'd be willing to part with, and helps save a family of 5 including 3 small children under five years old.
Verified by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi (line 68). If you need incentive to donate, you can also join my authentic crystal jewelry raffle.
Tagging for reach under the cut. Please RB if you see.
many of you might still remember Amal @sakurai96, who fundraised tirelessly for her family and managed to get them evacuated to Egypt before the border closed. i have shared many of Amal's posts here
unfortunately, Amal lost her main source of income and is now being forced to work three jobs just to keep herself afloat in Germany and also support her family. her fundraiser has been stagnating for a while now, the last donation was two days ago!
too many times support for Palestinians starts dwindling once evacuation happens or another goal is reached. it is incredibly telling and disheartening to see.
Eman, her sister, has the chance to move to Germany as well in search of a better future. for this to happen, she needs to take a German language exam and that is only achievable with a student resident permit for Egypt.
Eman and Amal need to raise $5,000 to make this happen.
Amal's campaign has been verified by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi here (#24, line 28) so please don't hesitate to help!!
i don't know how much longer i can do this. i feel so defeated. i'm behind on both my car insurance and credit card payments, i don't have any insulin and i ate the last of my food this morning. being stressed 24/7 has my fibro constantly triggered and it hurts to just exist, i'm exhausted from my blood sugar being spiked and i'm in pain all the time and i'm doing my best to keep myself alive but it feels impossible some days. please commission me or send a few dollars my way, anything is appreciated
18 Sept 2024 β here are Palestinians who have reached out to me in my inbox who are fundraising to evacuate from Gaza and to survive their displacement in the war!
π’ Please reblog their pinned posts, share their GFM links with friends online and in-person (print flyers), and donate anything if you can!

another update from the al habil family [see: 1,2, vetted #157]
theyre trying to raise money to buy tarps for their tent. yeah, their family is full of chronically ill and disabled people, young mohammed is recovering from having platinum skewers inserted into his legs, and theyre living in a tent with holes in it. and winter is approaching for the second time under this genocide, which means its raining poisoned white phosphorous and debris water directly onto their heads. again.
here's the video mohammed sent me recently of his view
mohammed @mohammedalhabil20 is trying to raise money so his family can buy a tarp to cover their heads when winter comes. he needs $800 CAD (much less in dollars and euros) as soon as possible.
heβs desperate. he cannot sleep due to constant pain in his legs. his little sister nour is chronically ill and neither of them can get treatment.
i know we can do it. we can give this family one small relief in the middle of so much suffering.
Omar made an account here on tumblr, please follow him if you can
@omarwadiAsk , he is 1k away from having enough to evacuate his sister that was injured once the border re opens. This campaign is vetted by me, please help us by sharing.
Tagging for reach, let me know if you don't want to be tagged.

Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #44 )
My friend Ahmed, his wife Maram, and their three little children Habiba, Kareem, and the infant Muhammad have been trapped in besieged Gaza for almost an entire year. They've been forced to endure 11 displacements, malnutrition threatening both mother and baby, hepatitis, exhaustion, and the constant threat of murder by bombing. All they want is to live in peace and safety together, and in order to do this, they've been fundraising since April to raise enough money to evacuate to Egypt once the border is open again so that they may resettle elsewhere.
After 5-6 months, they've almost completed their goal of β¬40,000. At β¬33,025, they only need β¬6,975 to finish their campaign. Ahmed and I have set a short-term goal to work towards -- β¬35,000, for which they need β¬1,975. I'd like to see it completed by the end of the month to give this family some hope as their campaign has started to stagnate.
I can personally attest to their legitimacy as I've seen multiple modes of verification. I am in a group chat with he and their beneficiary, who I helped connect them to, and there have been multiple successful transfers with proof that both can attest to. They've also been vetted by @/el-shab-hussein and are featured on his spreadsheet, and have been featured in a video by YouTuber Ro Ramdin. They are a 100% real Palestinian family in need.
Please give what you can. You can also join my authentic crystal jewelry raffle helping to benefit them and 2 other families if you'd like to win something for a good cause.
Her fundraiser is extremely low on funds. The genocide has caused her so much suffering: she and her husband were planning on having their first child, but the harsh conditions she had to face caused her miscarriage. And in April, her beloved brother was killed.
I'm not Palestinian, I do not speak Arabic, so I couldn't verify the fundraiser like Palestinian vetters do, but Linda was kind enough to share her Instagram account with me. The account has existed for years, and through a quick message exchange it was confirmed that the owner of the fundraiser and of the instagram account are the same person. Please, help Linda and her family however you can! Donate any amount you can and share!
Is there anyone who knows how to properly setup a PayPal fundraiser on behalf of someone? When I try to do it, there is a set max amount of $25,000 and can only be active for 30 days. I've seen fundraisers on Paypal go on for much longer (@/rubashsblog's for instance), so I was essentially wondering how it works and how do I effectively manage one?
Hi. Mahmoud Baalou reached out to me via DM and asked me to share his story. He, his sister, and his parents are trying to escape the war and find safety in Egypt. His mother and father are both diabetic, making a difficult time even harder. Heβs doing everything he can to help his family but he needs your support too. Please donate if you have anything to spare, and if you canβt, please share!
