adriana smith who was forcibly kept on life support after being brain dead to incubate her fetus due to anti abortion laws in georgia, usa will be taken off life support this week. she had an emergency c-section today and the child was born prematurely and is in the nicu. her family is raising funds for hospital bills (that the state didn't even pay for despite forcing this "treatment" btw!) and for the new baby. donate if you can.

many families in gaza have neurodivergent family members. from the people i know in gaza one of their biggest challenges is the difficulty of living in a tent or being displaced with disabled family members whose routines have been disrupted. neurodivergent adults, especially men, are also targeted by the israeli occupation forces, the most notable case being that of mohammed bhar, who had down's syndrome and was mauled to death by israeli military dogs after his family was forced to leave him at gunpoint.

but what this also obscures is how much of gaza's disabled population was the result of israel's continuous occupation, which gave so many children PTSD that in 2021 Save the Children found that 80% of children in their study showed symptoms of emotional distress. About half of them there reported having contemplated suicide, and three out of five kids were self-harming. Four in five children reported they were living with depression, grief and fear.

this is aside from physical disabilities which meant gaza already had an unusually high proportion of amputees from previous wars, whose conditions were exacerbated by the lack of medical equipment (including wheelchairs) and permits to travel abroad for treatment.

what i'm trying to say is for nineteen months you've heard about people miserably trekking from one "safety zone" to another to be concentrated into tents, a supposedly humanitarian tactic from israel (even though they also bombed the humanitarian zones, even though forced displacement is indeed a war crime) but the people being displaced are not able-bodied young people who can easily travel on foot from one area to the next. they're people who are actually the least able to travel easily; families full of elderly and disabled members, young children, and in some cases mothers who have just given birth. the reason hind rajab's mother survived is because she decided to walk while her children took the car to spare them the difficulty of that journey on foot in cold weather. 19 year old lara sayegh died of exhaustion on the journey from north to south. in some cases israel has forced entire hospitals to evacuate, leading to scenes of patients standing on amputated legs or walking out with their IVs still attached. can you imagine being displaced in these conditions? that's not movement. that's torture. it's a death march.

now imagine making this journey knowing your home will be destroyed, and everything you leave behind no longer exists. imagine making this journey after losing your children, or making this journey as a lost child with no parents. imagine making this journey and encountering corpses along the entire route (it is almost impossible not to). imagine making this journey while stiff with fear that you could be attacked at any point or stopped at a checkpoint and arrested at any point because the young able-bodied men are the ones most likely to be disappeared or targeted during these journeys (which is what happened to mosab abu toha) leaving their families not only terrified for their safety, but also without their strongest family members to rely on. this also happened to family friends of mine, whose two year old was left with his grandmother after his parents were killed by airstrike on their route south. he only survived because they shielded him with their bodies.

that is not an exception for palestinians in gaza right now; that's the majority. because everything above is not incidental, it is israeli policy intended to bring about these exact circumstances.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled du Bois posting to implore you to contact your senators and tell them to vote no on the budget. Trans people including me will lose their healthcare if this bill passes the Senate.

This post will be reposted several times in the next few days. Please spread it, post to other platforms, etc.

I feel like Disney’s attempts to garner a male audience (Disney Dwarves, Disney Adventurers/Heroes, Disney XD) is something that should be studied

I finished my Masters in Library and Informational Science! People asked me what I wanted as a graduation gift and I said that all I want is for you to help out @abo-ataa to support his family this winter by donating to his paypal below.

Please consider donating to my friend Hussam, he has been displaced from his home in Rafah, and has to take care of his children in this freezing cold weather without even a proper tent! A few dollars will go a long way, no matter how small! Consider it a graduation gift for me if you appreciated any of my posts on tumblr!

I’m gonna share this screenshot just to provide some context

Yeah you can tell this was clearly ragebait since not only it wasn’t confirmed by Disney, but this dude knew any conservative would be “ WHY DID THEY RUIN PIRATES OF THE CABEDDIEN With FeMiNiSm?!?” if the franchise got a female-centered installment

Just a reminder: If you are complaining about Wokeness, DEI, forced diversity, or anything of the sort, I automatically assume you are racist

*donations have slowed*

eyad @eyad-alanqe223 (vetted campaign #24) has not received any donations in 3 days. he and his family are still suffering and struggling to make ends meet, yet he has also decided to start a charity to help distribute food to others. this is his message:

Feeding the Hungry in Gaza: A Charity to Save Lives Amid the devastation and suffering in Gaza, I have envisioned establishing a charitable organization to provide food for the poor and hungry, those who have lost their homes and livelihoods due to the war. Thousands of families are now homeless, struggling for a simple meal to survive. My goal is to provide them with hot meals so that no one has to go to bed hungry under these harsh conditions. This charity will not just be a project; it will be a message of solidarity and humanity in a time when we need compassion the most. I am Eyad, a young man from Gaza, born from the heart of this tragedy. On October 7th, I lost my home in an airstrike that completely destroyed it, forcing me and my family to flee in search of safety. We did not only lose our house but also our livelihood, as my father Abdel Nasser Al-Anqar's company was entirely destroyed. Today, we live in a small tent in southern Gaza, struggling against the cold and hunger. However, my personal suffering has made me realize that thousands of others are enduring even worse, and that together, we can make a real difference in their lives. The required amount of $20,000 will not only help cover my family’s basic needs but will also serve as the foundation for a charitable organization that provides food to those in need in Gaza. Every donation, no matter how small, can put food on a starving child’s plate or support a family that has lost everything. Join us in feeding the hungry and restoring hope to those who need it most.

please support eyad and his initiative by sharing and donating to his fundraiser:
