Campaign for Palestinian Poet and Songwriter Yaser Hamad

Hello All,

My friend @mariampoetry wanted to host a donation campaign for Yaser Hamad!

Yaser is a Rafah native and a prolific poet, writing songs for big name Palestinians singers like Muhammad Assaf (who sang the iconic song, "Dammi Falastini")! Here's a song he wrote for Assaf called "Ya Banat Bladna," which praises the girls and women of Palestine and their steadfastness.

Yaser's fiance was killed early on in the genocide and now he lives in a tent with his two daughters. Within the coming week by Sunday April 6th, we hope to raise $1000 USD to send to Yaser's family.

For those who are not aware, Mariam, the organizer, is a dear friend of mine in real life and a renowned Palestinian poet herself. She has been doing these donation campaigns to raise money for various friends of hers in Gaza, focusing on highlighting artists and their amazing talent. She has successfully sent money to multiple Palestinian artists through these campaign drives and hopes that everyone would be willing to help out with another campaign.

Please do donate if you can, or even just spread the word!

Everyone may know that it is difficult for you to manage the responsibility of your family alone, especially in childhood or adolescence, and in addition to this, you are in a war zone with your father who is sick with cancer and the rest of your family members. This is what I bear alone. Today, I am alone in carrying out many responsibilities. I can no longer bear all this pressure alone, so I came here to Tumblr to ask for help from you, you are like my other family. I really cannot do all of this alone, so I ask you to support me, stand by me, and donate to me and my family.

sssso....great news. my internet and phone bills are coming up. I absolutely cannot lose those. they're how I connect with everything and everyone. I am waiting on my disability hearing still, and I very much need them to talk to literally my entire support system. my family, my therapist, my doctor, my friends, my caregiver. I am homebound without a significant amount of aid. together, the bill comes to $50.

I also am...kind of out of food. I don't get food money until the third. I need cat litter and dish soap and other stuff. in order to get all of that delivered, as I don't have a way to go to the store and pick it up myself, is.

so, yeah. I can probably remove a couple of things, but for the most part it's all stuff that I absolutely need. I have no income, so I rely on the aid of other people to survive. please share, and send a few bucks my way if you can.

I have nothing to eat and I am really, really worried. I haven't eaten much over the last few days and I'm starting to get shakes. I am very, very hungry.

Homeless LGBT couple needs help!!! (Anniversary Edition!)

Hello everyone!

My family and I are still dealing with being homeless and this year overall has been rough on us. I've been doing what I can to try and find work and a place to live but until we have some breakthrough, this situation is going to continue like this or worse. My health hasn't improved any and it's getting to the point where it's hard to stay awake. I have my next appointment soon, but with my appointments getting canceled at random, it's been dragging out. April is my wife's and my 21st anniversary and our first year since getting married and it would really mean a lot of we can spend this month with less stress and regular access to food.

I am asking around for help covering a motel room, food, important bills, and other necessities while we look to escape this situation. The weather has been unpredictable and between the cold rainy days and the random scorching hot days, it's making my health and pain so much worse so having shelter is important right now. Please share this where you can if you see it and any help making ends meet is greatly appreciated. My notes have been getting high lately without a lot coming in so please don't assume that notes means we're getting what we need. Thank you to everyone who has helped us so far.

Do other writers ever get this like, hyper-specific dialogue exchange drop into their brains and you know exactly where these character are standing and what they’re doing and how they’re saying these words but that’s all you get. You don’t have much other context and this specific moment that exists only at this time in your headspace??

people will do/say the kindest thing you’ve ever witnessed then be like Sorry if that’s weird :(

love is everywhere brother. do not apologize for this

thank you osha thank you shift limits thank you mandatory breaks thank you overtime pay thank you labour laws thank you workers rights thank you unions thank you protesters thank you advocates thank you workers!!!!!!!

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

This explains so much.

Also, if you don't take the time regularly, your brain will do it for you. Usually when you're already stressed and it gets to be too much. You will zone out. And you can not control it. So regular maintenance will help

"You have to become comfortable with the fact that most people who enjoy your fic will never bother to kudos or comment on it."

Shockingly, I am comfortable with this fact. Lack of kudos or comments doesn't bother me.

That doesn't mean it shouldn't change.

If you enjoy a fic, leave a kudos or a comment.

Alright, I think I like tumblr now.

A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it's a good day for everyone.

That was on July 7th.

Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all--the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it's immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.

On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs--nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.

There's a specific chain of reblogs that I'd like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.

But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.

99% percent of the people who have seen the post--virtually unchanged from how it left my dash--have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That's insane to me.

None of those 36 people know that they're part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.

And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.

You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.

Reblog to create an engagement nuke that ambles around aimlessly until it finds its target

“Rayban charity glasses event” is a scam don’t click any link in a post that says that.

Old tumblr users remember this scam back when it first went out.

Also no, this isn’t a joke. This phishing scam is 100% running its course again so watch out for your mutuals long abandoned accounts suddenly posting it. Please make everyone aware of it since most users here are newbies who have not seen it before!
