i’ve had ‘the beauty of the world is the mouth of a labyrinth’ stuck in my head and had forgotten the full quote went this hard. can barely cope with the experience of comprehending it

Oliver Baez Bendorf, “Everything All at Once”

The Israeli occupation bombed Nasser Hospital and bombed the journalists' tent there, which led to the burning of 3 journalists and there are 8 martyrs. The Israeli occupation is using the most heinous types of killing and genocide against us. We do not deserve all of this. Please, I do not want to burn to death here. Help me with a donation, so that I can escape, me and my family, out of Gaza as soon as possible. Please.

We desperately need your help here so we can escape the war zone. Please donate and share. Tell everyone what's happening to us here.!!!

Happy international Romani Day! This year with the ongoing genocide against Palestinians i would like to draw attention to the Dom people in Palestine. The Dom and Roma people are not the same as the groups left India at different times and using different routes but they share similar origins and face similar struggles and oppression. There are estimated 2.2 million Dom people in the Middle East and North Africa. The Palestinian Dom people live in West Bank, Gaza and occupied Jerusalem. The biggest Dom community is in Gaza — around 12,000-15,000 people were living there when the war started, but nobody knows how many of them are still alive.

The Domari Society is a non-profit organization based in Jerusalem aiming to improve the conditions of the Dom people, founded by Amoun Sleem who's interviewed in the recent article linked above. The Domari Society is unique for being founded and organized by the Dom community itself and has done incredible work such as providing education for children and women and preserving the endangered Domari language. The organization relies on donations to fund its activities and i recommend donating to them if you want to support the Palestinian Dom people in this particularly difficult time. Just raising awareness about the Dom and their situation is important too even if you can't donate

An Update on Tahseen's Campaign

Tahseen (@tahseenmush) has been fundraising for his family for a year. He is a father from the North of Gaza who has been doing his best to support his family. Tahseen's family has been starving for months, and he has been doing everything he can to raise the funds he needs to take care of them.

It's been a full year, and Tahseen is not even halfway to his goal. Prior to this past week, the last donations he received were 3-4 weeks apart. Currently, he is at €24k/€60k, and his campaign is moving very slowly. Here is the link to his GFM:

Tahseen's fundraiser has been vetted and verified since last year. If you're able to, please donate to his GFM. Even $5 makes a difference. If you don't have the ability to donate, then send his GFM link to someone in your life who does, whether it's your parents, aunts/uncles, siblings, cousins, friends, whoever. Reblog his posts, spread his campaign as widely as you can. Let's do everything we can to get him to his goal so that he can care for his family!
