The Siraj Family... Hunger Devours Their Children, Danger Looms Near

Their life has been nothing but pain... displaced seven times, with no safe shelter and not enough food to fill the children's hunger.

Siraj, the exhausted father, lost his job, and his young children suffer from malnutrition and skin diseases, their bodies weakening and their hearts silently crying.

A loaf of bread has become a distant dream, and food prices keep rising mercilessly.

Every day without enough food steals their strength to live, and danger grows with every passing moment.

They are in desperate need of your help to afford food that protects them from hunger and disease and shields them from the looming threat.

Your hand now can be the difference between survival and disappearance. Don’t hesitate help the Siraj family today.

That's a lot of mouths to feed. The battle of New York Coterie.

is this a safe space to say that the additions to the LGBT flag (“progress flag”) are well meaning but undermine the fact that the original colors symbolized vague concepts that could apply to anyone, rather than signifying specific types of human beings, which is, ironically, more “exclusionary” since it begs the question of why “X specific group of humans” aren’t being represented in the imagery now. the original flag completely avoided that conundrum. also it’s a little ugly. But don’t mind me lol.

Reminder that asexuals have always been LGBTQ+

Reminder that aces have been at most if not all major queer movements

Reminder that the Stonewall Inn flies the ace flag alongside other LGBTQ+ flags

Reminder that ace exclusion is only a recent invention

Reminder that ace exclusion was started by TERFs and radfems around 2013 because their anti trans rhetoric wasnt working

Reminder that exclusionists of any sort don't belong at Pride

Reminder that aces are fucking valid and queer and I will throw hands for this.

i love being a lesbian and i love being asexual. i can love all aspects of my identity and they don’t have to conflict. it doesn’t mean i’m “missing out”

[thechangeling]

what happens is:

-fatphobic limits on weight for trans surgeries are implemented due to fatphobic doctors and a medical establishment that refuses to train physicians to work with fat bodies

-hospitals and clinics and those that work there reproduce these limits as factual and create the conditions for disordered eating and related self-harm among trans people, and uphold systems of antifatness, cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and abled-normativity that render the only 'correctly' binarily sexgendered people as thin

-trans people with disordered eating practices are doubly pathologized and marked as contagion vectors, hysterical, deviant, and delusional, in need only of "recovery" via force-feeding to be cured both of disordered eating and transness

-trans people are thus pushed further from access to life-saving medical care and, in the best cases, instead funneled into an ed industrial complex that routinely abuses even its most privileged subjects, nevermind those already abjected

-trans people either remain in diagnosis-induced epistemic limbo, die of their eds, die by suicide, and/or remain "too fat" to access surgery, knowing that the next time they go back seeking xyz transmedical intervention, they will get the same recommendation to "diet" –– which, make no mistake, is in effect a recommendation to die.

it is annoying as fuck to be Nahua Native in LA right now, surrounded by (mainly white) people acting like boarders aren’t violent no matter where they’re drawn and Mexico isn’t also a settler colony. Obviously, all solidarity with the folks being directly impacted by ICE violence and the folks on the frontlines. But let’s live in reality, I’m sick of Mexican supremacist narratives dominating our conversations around immigration and deportation.

I don’t give a fucking shit what part of the US used to be Mexico, it’s all stolen Native land and Mexico treats Indigenous people there horrifically. Yes, even if sometimes they are returning land to Indigenous stewardship—real Land Back in Mexico, the US, Canada, and every other colonial state cannot actually be achieved until those entities and their governments are nonexistent. Indigenous people south of the US border are still extant and we see what you think of us when you act like Mexico is somehow inherently universally Indigenous

Chappell Roan drawn in a Disco Elysium portait style as a character, i imagine Harry calls her Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl, she hangs out at church club and is part of the homosexual underground

[thechangeling]

disco elysium is a game that makes you feel bad for hours on end and you absolutely should play it during a transitional period of your life and when you have a lot of other problems you arent dealing with. advice from me

🕊️ Nadin’s Hope: A Mother, A Memory, A Future

Hello, my name is Nadin I’m from Gaza. I’m a graphic design graduate. I’m a wife. And now — I’m a mother.

I finished my design studies just before the war began. I had dreams of starting a small design studio, of making art that told stories. I used to think about colors, fonts, sketches. I used to think about the future.

Then the war came. And the future became something we tried to hold onto, moment by moment.

On October 22, 2023, I was pregnant when a missile destroyed my husband’s family home. 25 members of our family were killed — his mother, his siblings, his nieces and nephews, children. Entire branches of a family tree gone in seconds.

We were displaced twice after that. Everything we had disappeared — home, safety, routine, rest.

A few weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter. There was no crib. No stillness. No celebration.

But she came into the world quietly and beautifully. And in her eyes, I saw something I hadn’t felt in weeks: life that still wanted to grow.

Now, I spend my days holding her and trying to build a world around her that doesn’t shake with explosions.

We don’t know what comes next. There is no clear path. We are walking toward the unknown, step by step — with our daughter in our arms and hope as our guide.

🧡 How You Can Help

This is why I’m asking for support. Not for comfort — but for survival. To help care for one baby girl who entered the world after everything else collapsed.

If you can spare anything, it will help us:

Cover basic needs, so we can breathe and heal

Support a path toward even the smallest stability in a place that has none

My husband manages the donations securely through a U.S.-registered Stripe account. Everything is converted to USDT and exchanged here in Gaza. The rates are difficult — $100 becomes only 245 shekels — but we use every shekel carefully, with full transparency and documentation.

🎨 Sharing a Piece of Me

I want to share more than my need. Over the next few weeks, I’ll begin posting some of my graphic designs from before the war. They are pieces of who I was — and who I still am.

They may not be perfect, but they hold something real: my story before the silence, and my belief that beauty can still live alongside survival.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you. If you can give — thank you. And if you can’t, just sharing this post is a form of support I will never forget.

My baby Qais is starving — please, I beg you, don’t scroll past this.

Famine is killing children in Gaza. My son, baby Qais, has been rushed to the hospital, his tiny body weakened by hunger and severe malnutrition. There is no milk for infants, no food, no clean water — only pain and silence. Doctors say many babies won’t survive the next 48 hours. I am a mother watching her child slowly fade away, powerless. Please, I’m pleading with you from the depths of my heart — help us. Help Qais before it’s too late.

Why is this happening?

1. Food and aid are blocked — humanitarian supplies are barely reaching families due to the ongoing siege.

2. Infrastructure is destroyed — bakeries, farms, and supply chains have collapsed under bombardment.

3. Water and power are gone — families can’t prepare formula or preserve food without electricity or clean water.

Please, open your heart.

This is not just another post — it’s a cry for help. Every second matters. Your donation could mean life instead of death for Qais and thousands like him. Even the smallest amount could buy baby formula, medicine, or food. Please don’t turn away. Be the reason a child survives tonight.

PLEASE DONATE HERE

If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone?

DONATE HERE PLEASE

Please stop ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭
