i've been trying my best to collect a bunch of links to other, more structured resources about the genocide in gaza, and what you, reading this, can do about it, that i'm going to compile here.
Sudan still desperately needs aid--it needs a lot of things, but it is approaching a dangerous point with famine and mass death due to hunger imminent.
These are the kinds of headlines we're getting now:
Here's an ongoing fundraiser:
I linked it before, to help with Ramadan, but it's an ongoing initiative, the need has not stopped.
I picked this gofundme because it's been boosted by people I trust and you can see pictures online of the food they've provided, e.g.:
But I also picked this because you can see the amount of donations. It's 2pm ET on Saturday, April 20th right now? For the next week, whatever's donated, I'll match for a total up to $2,000 (we'll say 2,750 CAD, since the gofundme is in Canadian dollars).
You don't have to send me a receipt, I just ask that you donate and boost.
Hello my fellow dykes, we have officially become visible ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
All sillies aside, please consider donating to Emily Gwen or sharing this if you can! Link
platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine
this beautiful baby is the son of ibrahim abu raida, the 25 y/o executive director of the al nasser charity in gaza, an organization working to distribute food to the displaced. they have many different ways to donate linked on their instagram (linked above) and also have a personal gfm to help with their own rebuilding efforts that is over 80% of the way to its goal.
Forgot we have until the 23rd to pay the credit card Dx

Just end me already!!
The funny thing with food is that you always need more to keep going.
We're very low on food supplies, a side from the lab tests the doctor asked and we have until the 23rd to pay the balance of the credit card this time.
My partner is also getting paid $22 usd a week and gets paid until May.
EDIT April 21st: Ok, I've got a tumor, It's been too long since my last check up and now I'm presenting new symptoms and noticeable growths(?) on my tights which are painful to touch.
I need to get some tests done and find another doctor or get insurance but that means money.
We're almost out of food and cleaning supplies too as we've been cleaning and spraying to keep roaches and rats away.
It's almost 3am, I'll be giving a more detailed breakdown of this when I'm feeling a bit better as we went out, it rained on us and I want to avoid getting sick.
The breakdown is $2670 for lab tests, $994.65 for the payment and $150usd for food. $1usd= $17 pesos.
That's $6165 pesos = $362 USD
Considering pypl takes a rate it's $380, give or take. And if we can get my meds to keep my gallbladder from giving me peritonitis I would be very grateful 🥲 but that's another $127 USD.

There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.
Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.
If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.
I liked this prematurely because I wanted to investigate for myself but yeah, it's true. Here's two news outlets reporting on the matter: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/disturbing-recordings-crying-infants-played-israeli-quadcopters-lure-gaza-residents-shooting https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6271 Normally I try to find a recurring pattern for stuff like this however I think this information is too fresh for there to be a considerable precedent yet.
Please help if you can! Onika is a black trans woman who needs support with survival and HIV meds after being assaulted in a transphobic attack!

Please follow, share, and interact with Madleen @palestinianmother's videos on tiktok to help bring more awareness to her campaign. Here is the link to her tiktok page:
Please also share her gfm link and donate if you can:
Madleen and I have been messaging on Facebook and she told me how hopeless and tired she's been feeling. She says it's especially hard now that Ramadan is about to end and she and her family won't be able to celebrate Eid like they usually do. Let's help her achieve her fundraising goal at least so that we can lessen some of her worries even just for a little bit. Please donate if you can and share her gfm link to help it reach more people.
Latest update: 21/04/2024.
This is a masterpost for the evacuation fundraisers I've vetted so far, a few other fundraisers I find trustworthy but have not been able to vet (inability to communicate with the organizer), and a few semi-completed fundraisers or fundraisers for a different purpose (like house rebuilding, or aid distribution). The numbers next to the names have no significance beyond ease of navigation for me for when I check their progress in the future. You should look at the disclaimers instead and focus on those. Occasionally I will update these with new info, including new fundraisers, and the amount of cash that's been raised. Check in regularly on the original post when you see it being reblogged. In all likelihood once its reached you it's already outdated. Also please don't overlook the Sustainable Aid options near the bottom! The brain drain is already creating problems but having another way of keeping or creating new knowledge and key members of a functioning society is important.
VETTED FAMILY ESCAPE FUNDRAISERS
MORE VETTED FAMILY ESCAPE FUNDRAISERS (tumblr has a character-per-block limit, there's no difference between the following fundraisers and the previous ones).
UNVETTED, BUT HIGHLY LIKELY LEGITIMATE ESCAPE FUNDRAISERS:
OTHER FUNDRAISERS:
My friend is organising for their family to evacuate Gaza.
Please share and contribute if possible!
You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.
There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.
Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.
PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.
Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)
The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.
Since the minimum is so low, this is a great place to put the last of a prepaid card, don't just give it back to the card company by tossing it with money still on it! Even a dollar can do good!
now that i am a real adult i am starting to realise. media lied to me about the availability of rooftops to go hang out on. every day i wish i could be hanging out on a rooftop somewhere looking cool as fuck
