On this Motherโs Day so many Palestinian children will be grieving the loss of their mothers, many of whom are still buried under rubble and yet to be found. On this Motherโs Day many mothers will be holding their enervated children in their hands, wishing for even a morsel of food to pass throughโyet Israel continues restricting aid in the midst of its horrific starvation campaign. This cannot and should never be a new normal, nor should it be something we grow desensitized to. It should not be something we slow down talking about because โitโs been 6 months.โ We should keep talking about it BECAUSE itโs been 6 months. These grieving children and mothers should never leave your mind for a second.
These people havenโt seen liberation yet. They havenโt so much as seen a ceasefire.
I also think it should be added that family-centric days are so very important to Arabs. We literally value nothing more than we do familyโitโs how weโre raised. I canโt even begin to compute how the average Palestinian is feeling right now, having to celebrate Motherโs Day without their loved ones. Itโs a level of grief none of us will ever understand, so the best we can do is keep the momentum going & be respectful to those who are directly affected by this ongoing genocide. This is not the time to impose your think pieces. Itโs the time to give support.
Would also like to take this opportunity to give a special fuck you to the nyt, which saw it fit to publish this on March 20, just one day before Motherโs Day. No matter the deathโno matter the motherless children, the childless mothers, the grieving and the pain and the sufferingโthey continue to be the perfect example of how few fucks the average western media gives about Palestine.

"End the genocide of the Palestinian people"
Seen in La plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina
I havenโt seen a similar post on tumblr, but hereโs a few places to donate money and find means to support those in Palestine-
Pious Project provides menstrual care kits as well as soap, shampoo, disinfectants, etc
Gaza Esims lets you donate Esims- these are used to connect to the internet and keep communication going in and out of the country
Operation Olive Branch is a spreadsheet of Gofundmes for families seeking funds to flee the country, each having a link to sponsor them
Here's a reading list from Decolonize Palestine
Stop Gaza Genocide is a google doc that is constantly updated, which includes how to contact representatives, how to protest, and various activist resources (US centric)
Samidoun provides a constantly updating calendar of protests, and you can submit ones not listed if thereโs a protest happening near you (Global)
UNRWA and Care for Gaza are orgs that directly provide general aid and food
Lastly, while not inherently about Palestine, I do want to encourage everyone reading this that If you see a post regarding Palestine- a video, a photo, a livestream, a text post- Archive it with the Wayback Machine. When digital information is prone to deletion and censorship, we cannot afford to lose something as valuable as knowledge.
LET GAZA LIVE, FREE THEM ALL, VIVA VIVA INTIFADA
we've been watching a horrific genocide for 4 months now, and your silence in complicity. ceasefire is the bare minimum, and just the beginning.
free to use, print, repost. link to images and variants
hi. go buy esims for gaza. do what you can to participate in global strikes against genocide. go preorder a kufiya from hirbawi. buy insulin for palestinian diabetics who need that help. if you live in the states use this to email your reps (this takes maybe 5 seconds to do). check out this massive list of resources where you can educate yourself in a meaningful and actionable way even if you don't have the financial means right now. from the river to the sea palestine will be free. ๐ต๐ธ ๐ต๐ธ ๐ต๐ธ
I am participating in the March 2nd shutdown for Palestine.
for more info on actions to take for Palestine: ceasefiretoday | the BDS movement's website
places to donate: Palestine Children's Relief Fund | CareForGaza | Operation Olive Branch | eSims for Gaza | Pious Projects | Mutual Aid Diabetes
And of course, don't forget your daily clicks.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
This is a masterpost of places to throw your money at to support Palestine. I'm gonna try and keep this updated as much as I can.
*** Please note, donating does not mean you should stop boosting Palestinian voices. Spreading awareness is JUST AS IMPORTANT as sending money since misinformation is one of the Zionist movement's most dangerous tools. ***

In addition, follow the PCRF on twitter (@/thePCRF) as they regularly post about opportunities to donate to support Palestine.
Aid requests from Palestinians in Gaza:
*** If you have any additional recognized and trustworthy places to donate, please either reply or send me an ask or DM and I will update this list! ***
In addition, Palestinians (both in Palestine and diaspora) can feel free to leave your paypals / ko-fi's / cashapps / venmo.... whichever you want in the replies.
People kept reblogging the old version of this so I've revamped it with new links and removed the dead ones.
there are going to be global demonstrations for Palestine on march 2nd, this site has more info
here's what's written on the front page:
"On March 2, millions across the world will march for Gaza! The Israeli government is planning to have a full-scale invasion of Rafah one week later, on March 9, one day before the start of Ramadan. Today, the United States vetoed a UN resolution that insisted that Israel immediately cease its mass killing spree in Gaza.
Now is the time to act! People around the world are going into the streets in cities and towns, including in the United States, as part of the global day of protest on Saturday, March 2.
Gaza is facing famine, its hospitals are besieged, threats of ground invasion in Rafah loom near, and Israel continues its onslaught on the over 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The mass movement for Palestine has led to the isolation of the US and Israel on the world stage. With growing internal divisions and heightened political pressure on Israel and the United States, itโs time to push even harder. Our mobilizations at this moment can be more decisive than ever, and we must show our full strength now to ensure a lasting ceasefire and an end to the siege on Gaza.
Act now, and mobilize in your communities and institutions, everyone must be on the streets on March 2nd! All out for Rafah! All out for Gaza! Stop the genocide!"
i always forget that people use "just some guy" as an insult because to me it is a neutral to vaguely positive descriptor if not a term of endearment
Pieces of media to watch to educate yourself on Palestineโs long history of suffering from the zionist Israeli occupation :
[this list will constantly be updated with more movies & documentaries that iโm reminded of, or with new pieces that i find and watchโฆ if you have any suggestions please send them my way so that i can add them to this list]
The whole thing about AI is so fucking annoying, disheartening and straight-up depressing. No place is safe from all of the ai and tech bullshit.
And what options do artists have? What options do I personally have?
Glaze and Nightshade everything? I personally don't have the time or GPU power to glaze billions of artworks that I made. Fucking imagine you make a quick-ish sketch and spend 40 minutes glazing it (and don't get me started on some results of that process looking like the artwork went through 9 circles of bitcrushing hell based on how artifacted it looks)
Put everything I make behind a paywall? I for sure know that only a super small fraction would pay to see whatever I draw, the rest would just not care (either for some personal/general reasons or because people are also having a financial crisis 'cause, girlie, same)
Not post at all? I guess so.
I'm so fucking sick and tired of moving from website to website, trying to have a normal place to post art on and also have a community of people to interact with but time and time AGAIN it all just goes to shit. I wish there was some way to just ban all of these shitty ai things from existing or being developed. Stop treating us artists as some fucking cow you can milk for content and then can just slaughter when we are no longer useful. Fuck AI and fuck harmful tech shit.
