[acythecreator]

I really need help because I'm going back to an awful living situation and I'd prefer not to.

I cannot make a gofundme because I don't have a phone number.

Please send money to me via Cash app.

i have a lot of emotions right now and i don’t even know where to start but i want to vocalize, in any sort of way right now, that i’m beginning to doubt if i am still part of a system. 

which would pose the follow up question: mare, if you’re no longer part of a system, how do you explain the fact that you were for a really fucking long time? and. honestly. i’m beginning to wonder if any of this was real at all.

[husbants]

I was just out watching a just absolutely devastating play and I come home to THIS??!?!?! The 180 my emotions just did because WHAT

[seashaper]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

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.

[kainisticinstincts]

I honestly get this while feeling disgusted by it. What's the name for that deep-seated feeling of anger you have where you just want to lash out and blame someone, anyone, and hurt them but you don't know who? I'm currently feeling exactly that with Israel and palestine. I don't know who to side with or to blame.

I should side with Palestine since they are Arab Muslims just like me who deserve to live in safety and they are the ones being bombed and forced to live like shit and starve but I just feel hopeless supporting them every time I see a video of a dead Palestinian kid among ten thousand others. They cannot win. It's pointless. Even if they did then what next? What will happen to the Israeli populace? I shouldn't feel bad about them but I do. Are they all just supposed to leave or die in another Rwandan genocide?

I don't know how to feel or who to side with. I know someone needs to be punished for all those dead kids but I don't know who.

Even if I did then what am I supposed to do? Donate money to some Palestinian charity that probably is blocked from going to Gaza? Draw Optimus Prime waving a Palestine flag? What am I supposed to do? I'm powerless in this situation.

[irbcallmefynn]

Fucked up how my brain wants to help people constantly and would rather lift others than support me in most cases,

yet I literally can't handle seeing people in a bad mood. I hate seeing people in a bad place mentally, it makes me absolutely miserable.

I can't look the other way. That would be me neglecting people I care about. But I can't look at them either, because it'll make me feel terrible. So where do I look? Everywhere I look will make me feel terrible, so what do I do?
