“if i could do anything for you, anywhere in palestine, what would it be?” this question was recently posed to palestinian exiles by palestinian-american artist emily jacir. taking advantage of her ability to move about relatively freely in israel with an american passport, jacir promised to realize the desires of those forbidden entry into their homeland. a series of texts, black lettering on white panels, describes the various requests. color photographs, presented by their side, document jacir’s actualization of them.

Basically the reason why I love this pairing - Megatron would be beyond devastated
I imagine it started with another of Starscreams schemes to get back at Meghan, but he realizes that Soundwave is a multi Husband Poll Champion and maaaybe it would do himself some good with better standards (meanwhile Megatron is obtuse as always)
a whole bunch of gazan mutual aid projects and nonprofits. if the decision of which individual fundraiser to give to feels too daunting, or if you just want to help as many people as possible in one go, these are great initiatives to support.
care for gaza - focuses on providing food and essential supplies. donate here or here.
connecting humanity - securing internet access via donations of virtual sim cards (esims). if you can’t afford a whole plan yourself, crips for esims is a communal pool that will use your donation to purchase and maintain esims
ele elna elak - provides clean water, food, clothing, and shelter. they also have a gofundme
life for gaza - raising money for the gaza municipality to repair water and waste management infrastructure
taawon - partners with local civil organizations to provide food, water, medical care, shelter, and basic supplies
the sameer project - running various initiatives providing tents, medical care, and necessities. they have their own encampment project focused on sheltering families with children, sick and disabled members, or members in need of perinatal care
baitulmaal - provides a variety of necessities, including food, water, shelter, and medical supplies
gaza mutual aid fund - distributes food, hygiene products, water, and other essential supplies, including financial support. run by @/el-shab-hussein’s amazing friend Mona. updates can be found on her instagram.
hygiene kits for gaza - provides hygiene supplies including menstrual products, wipes, and toothbrushes/toothpaste
anera - provides a variety of necessities, including food, water, hygiene supplies, medicine, blankets and mattresses, and psychological care
certainly this is not an exhaustive list, so please feel free to add on other projects or organizations that i didn’t include. and as always, please take the time to donate if you can and share. it truly makes all the difference.
The only update for Falastin’s campaign today is that the children are starving. That’s it. If you want more details on their suffering you can see her blog HERE or read one of the gfm updates.
Last week her family received 52% less donations than in a week prior, and for this week the trend seems to continue. 161$ today, 180$ yesterday, 52$ on Monday. They haven’t met the goal of 500$ per day (which is really NOT enough to feed 26 people in Gaza but was meant to be a start) in 13 days.
I repeat again, this is for 26 people. And they still need tents and clothes (see this post from September of what they have to live with), but since they didn’t receive enough support to buy them they spend whatever they have right now on food. And, again, donations are slowing down and they cannot even afford food with them anymore.
That doesn’t mean that you should not help by the way, quite the contrary. Even 10 SEK or 1 USD will at least push the fundraiser up in the search results and that can attract people outside of Tumblr. And if you need an extra incentive there is another round of a raffle for Palestinian thob: LINK
Donate via Gofundme (in SEK! check rates below please):LINK
while you are here, please consider donating to my friend alaa. we’ve raised €26,136 so far. alaa needs to buy supplies for the winter and prices have increased drastically. she needs food, warm clothes, and a shader for her tent. she has been verified by 90-ghost and the butterfly effect project (#307).
you can also win a les mis themed sketch from @thevagueambition by donating €20 and filling this form! there are only eight slots so hurry up!
only three donations in more than two days! we cannot continue like this considering the rising prices of goods in gaza. please donate if you can and share!
tagging for reach [thank you! reply to be removed]
This is how my mother used to bake bread when we were in Gaza. Now my sister and brother buy a bag of flour for the equivalent of $300 if they can find it.
There is a real famine in Gaza and all goods are very expensive
1 kilo of tomatoes costs $5
1 kilo of potatoes requires $10
1 kilo of onions costs $15
Please donate to my campaign so that I can save my family and support them in their distress
If you cannot donate, share the campaign
Please do not forget Gaza and donate to my family, even if it is twenty dollars
Please do not forget about my friend, Randa (@rnd8).
She is a Sudanese who is living in Rwanda and she is currently in the process to evacuate her 6 family members out of Sudan! Her elderly father and 3 sisters have successfully evacuated. They have reunited with her in Rwanda. Now she needs our help to raise funds so her 2 brothers can evacuate out of Khartoum.
Randa also needs our help in paying off the debt from an failed visa application, living expenses, and rent! So let’s raise 30K in the next 3 days! €28,251 has been raised. There is €1,249 left to go!
You can match me! I have given €10, but you’re more than welcome to give any amount. You can participate in a book raffle hosted by @/magnus-rhymes-with-swagness if you show your proof of donation! Join in when you can! It ends on November 15th!
Mohammed and his family are in need of your help!! They are still very far from their goal of $70,000, currently only having raised $5,878 to evacuate from Gaza. Every donation counts so please don’t become discouraged - every dollar counts no matter how little!!! With your help, Mohammed and his family can realize their dreams of reaching safety and rebuilding their lives starting with finishing Mohammed’s education. Please donate and share widely!!!
This campaign is also a spotlight fundraiser from Artists 4 Gaza where your donation could get you a free art request from one of their many many talented artists!! Click for more info!
