The 30-day trip
📍Hello everyone, I am talking to you from the exhausted heart of Gaza, and this is my trip with you in an attempt to alleviate the material part of pain and suffering, where our special and daily need is brought thanks to God, then thanks to the donors, and then thanks to those who share the posts to reach the donors. I got 50% of the required campaign amount with great difficulty today. Today, I will start the journey of collecting the second half of the required amount. I hope that it will be a better Friday to help you all. If each of you donates any amount, it will be easy to get the other half and life here will be easier, as daily supplies are purchased to fill hunger at very astronomical prices because of war merchants, and once again thank you all
£7500 on 27/7/2025
The donation link here is your simple donation will be useful
Update (2)
We have 7595 away from 405 pounds from the desired target of £8000, share with me to reach and to alleviate my suffering 🙏🏻

In the end, I just want to reach any amount that makes me travel and start a new life
I will go now to the north of Gaza, there is no Internet, no sweet water for drinking or salt for washing, they are working on fixing that soon, but please and ask you for a service that when I can open the Internet, I will be surprised by the donations that help me travel 🙏🏻
A year and a half and I’m telling you and my energy is over and no one is interested💔

more people should talk about the fact that alberta canada is very quickly sliding town the same path that the southern us is irt anti trans legislature and putting trans minors in direct danger
did you know edmonton is censoring books with any reference to sex, sexuality, violence, or anything else deemed unfit for minors? even books that were fine half a decade ago for school assignments and curriculum
did you know that parents have to be notified for minors to use different pronouns or names in school - 15 and under need permission from parents to go by a different name or pronouns
did you know trans women would not be allowed in sports in alberta?
it’s worth noting that some of the proposed banned texts in edmonton school curriculums were beyond justcompletely fine when i was in school here (2016-2018)—watchmen went from being an approved ELA diploma text to being on the table for getting banned from school libraries.

im really scared when i think about the long term consequences of the current famine in gaza. children are not eating enough. they cannot afford to eat enough. it’s terrible how there’s food rotting on the other side of the border in aid trucks while children are dying of malnutrition.
im especially scared about the infants and the disabled. children born in this genocide only know the constant sound of bombing. it’s very terrible.
if you can, please consider donating to nour, mother of mohammed, a disabled child and mona, a little baby girl. the family needs all the support they can get to feed the children. the fundraiser is verified.

Yesterday, my mother fractured her arm while trying to get aid. I couldn’t go with her because I’m severely malnourished. She smiled through the pain so we wouldn’t worry, but I could see it all in her eyes — and it broke me.
Before the war, my mother was a kindergarten teacher. Today, she’s forced to push through crowds just to bring us something to eat. I’m not writing this to beg for sympathy — I’m writing because we simply can’t endure this alone anymore.
If you’re able to help, even with a small amount, it could make a real difference. Thank you to everyone who shares or supports us in any way.
His current Chuffed is shared by @/el-shab-hussein. His original but now defunct GFM is vetted and promoted by @/gaza-evacuation-funds and #408 on the verified fundraiser spreadsheet vetted by el-shab-hussein, MohAyesh and nabulsi, but he is now using Chuffed because GFM shut down his fundraiser
Your donations help people facing starvation and frequent bombings every day afford food, water, and other basic needs – it is literally lifesaving!! Please share this fundraiser and donate if you are able to! Every little bit helps!
You can get a postcard after you donate!

Has anyone else noticed how there’s always huge piles of money laying around to give to people who say right-wing politics is good and left-wing politics is bad? Funny how that works. Anyway

It’s a year later and people are still pretending like Hamas did some glorious revolutionary act that helped the people of Gaza, wow.
Shooting random people at a concert didn’t decolonize anything. Surviving Palestinians are objectively far worse off now than they were before the October 7th attacks.
Y'all can’t tell the difference between revenge and revolution, sad.
You guys don’t even know what decolonization is, a violent process that doesnt happen over night, much less read Fanon.

Another thing about the plummeting birth rate in America is that America is just not a pro-natalist country. No paid maternity leave. No paid paternity leave. Children are treated like burdens. Why the fuck would you have a kid if you’re seen as ‘flakey’ for leaving work early to go to their kindergarten graduation? When you live in this ultra individualistic capitalist hellscape, there is no room for a child.
Everyone has the vague sense of “segregation bad.” But for alot of them, if you show any deeper thought of civil rights activists beyond the bus protests or MLKs speeches,* they will flat out reject it!
To this very day, if you share the average James Baldwin quote, he gets labeled a “terrorist” for his anti imperialism. Malcolm X is called “antisemitic” for his anti zionism. It seems that many individuals only agree with the civil rights movement in a pathetically superficial way. All these decades later and their politics are not dissimilar to the segregationists of back then.
They want to think activists are good. But they reject all of their actual politics. They cover their ears, close their eyes, and say Jim Crow is surely already a thing of the past. Right?
*Said words of MLK are often cherry picked and misrepresented. His legacy watered down to a convenient scapegoat for conservatives and liberals alike.
i hope they never stop using floppy disk icons to indicate saving your file. doesn’t matter how obsolete they are it’s like honouring someone with a portrait on your currency
