For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.

For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.

So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.

Unseen Japan, ANN and the likes not mentioning, not talking about Japanese #withHandala campaign struck me as taking the side of Zionists because lots of mangaka and Japanese artists participated in this

Never forget that this would not be happening had Biden reined in Israel in October '23 instead of giving them a blank check to attack anyone they please. At the very least there should have been consequences for Israel bombing an embassy.

Instead Biden promised iron clad support for Israel. We're now facing the possibility of a huge regional war that will devastate the lives of tens of millions of civilians in West Asia

[Alt text start. Only Israel can bomb 4 countries at the same time and still be perceived as the victim! Alt text end.]

Fuck Israel

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]

[ID start. Meme of Kermit the frog reading a book. Title of the book is "How to slap a bitch through the internet" in all caps. ID end]

I just saw someone say "yeah but the palestinians "left" their homes during the nakba so they are not really theirs anymore" and I-

Ya rabb give me strength. like what the heck.

Also like "they left"?? my dude the word you are looking for is FLED. they freaking fled otherwise they would have been massacred by Israelis just like all the other THOUSANDS of Palestinians during al-nakba. So that makes Israhellis that live in these stolen houses STILL settler scum and nothing less.

LMAO not Israel calling for an emergancy UN meeting, when they have done NOTHING but shit on the UN and their resolutions the entire time.... why should we listen to Israel and their "emergancy" when they didnt listen to Palestinians and the countries trying to protect the palestinians by calling for a ceasefire? Israel needs to learn to fight their own fights but they know they'll lose on their own. cry harder assholes.

Wish a disabled unemployed trans girl a happy birthday

Hiya, my name's Skye. I'm turning 28 today (April 16th). My wife (@utopicwork @cutecipher @rickybabyboy) and I have had to move about 5 separate times over the past 4 years, and the chaos caused us to lose most of our worldly possessions, including a wardrobe of clothes, my wife's wheelchair and access to HRT. Not to mention non-essentials like my childhood comic and videogame collections.

I am struggling to survive and I am holding on because I believe in what my wife is doing for the future of communication (see utopicwork, my pinned or PierMesh.net for more). I don't have a set goal because I want to cover a lot of small costs like new shaving razors, socks, underwear, or a second pair of shoes. Anything is appreciated including reblogs and well wishes.

Another fundraiser I trust!

He has a tumblr, and it seems he's very new to it and doesn't know how to use it properly so he ends up looking like a bot but dw he is legit. I had a long conversation with Mahmoud over DM's just to go over everything. It all checks out. Please consider donating to get his family out of Ghazzah! Additionally, his brother-in-law is special needs and cannot be taken care of in a tent!
