it's so messed up that the occupation can continue bombing gaza and have news channels report that it is not an act of war while stopping all aid into gaza and breaching the ceasefire.
electricity has been cut in gaza and food prices have skyrocketed again. the occupation has resumed its attacks on gaza. this will negatively affect everyone in gaza.
please continue to support families in gaza. please have heart and consider sharing and donating to my friend alaa's fundraiser. she has two little kids to look after. help her rebuild her house and provide for her family. her fundraiser has been verified.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

That’s because America hates Black people more than it hates racism. It’s merely embarrassed or ashamed by racism, but it DESPISES Blackness
People who invented racism will always be the people who wish to keep it alive. I wished people knew the meaning of psychopaths?

Imagine walking for miles beneath a merciless sun, each step a battle against exhaustion. The empty water containers in your hands feel heavier with every faltering step, but you press on through rubble-strewn streets, driven by the desperate need to find clean water for your family.
Your vision blurs, dark spots dancing at the edges, and your heart pounds with the effort to stay upright. The heat is suffocating, your limbs tremble with fatigue, but you force yourself forward, refusing to give in. Then, without warning, your strength gives out. Your legs buckle, and you collapse onto the burning earth, dust rising around you as darkness claims your senses.

Story written by @rumiandroses
For most in Gaza, each day is a battle for survival—but for fifteen year old Ahmed Aldani, who is chronically ill, the struggle is far more severe. His body is being pushed to its limits by the relentless strain of hunger, pain, and exhaustion. He needs urgent medical care and a chance to escape the nightmare that has become his everyday life.
Image: Ahmed recently reached out to us with an update on his condition.
Every task, no matter how small, has become a struggle for survival. Just a few weeks ago, Ahmed collapsed while walking 3 kilometers (almost 2 miles) to fill water—his body having difficulty sustaining the effort, in desperate need of medical care that, without financial help, is out of reach for Ahmed and his family.
Born amidst conflict, Ahmed has spent all fifteen years of his life enduring the effects of war. The development of his teeth and hair were negatively impacted by toxic gas his mother inhaled during a phosphorus attack while pregnant with him in 2008. The recommended treatment—dental implants—is far beyond his family’s means, with each tooth costing around $1,000. But without treatment, the pain and exhaustion will only worsen.
Images: The development of Ahmed's hair and teeth were impacted by white phosphorus that his mother accidentally inhaled after an occupation attack near the family home in 2008.
Ahmed’s family has been displaced more than seven times in the past ten months, their savings drained just to stay alive. They now live in the southern part of Gaza, jobless and with no access to proper medical care.
This GoFundMe is a lifeline, both for Ahmed’s survival and for his family’s chance to escape Gaza and access the medical treatment he so desperately needs. The goal is to raise $50,000 to cover travel expenses, medical care, and a chance for Ahmed to finally rest, heal, and grow up without pain overshadowing every moment.
Ahmed needs your help—now more than ever. Even the smallest donation can help bring him closer to the care he needs to reclaim his health and his future.
You can donate to Ahmed's GoFundMe campaign [HERE].

Jackie Shane, the pioneering soul singer who came to prominence playing on Toronto’s Yonge Street in the 1960s, has died.
Shane’s record label, Numero Group, tweeted the artist, a black transgender performer with a riveting voice and look, has passed away at the age of 78.
“I have never felt that I had to change or do anything that wasn’t natural to me,” she told CBC Radio’s q in a rare interview earlier this year.
“I will never ever be some kind of wishy-washy creature that pretends or lets others guide me. I guide my life. It is mine. No matter what anyone says, I’m going to be Jackie.”
Just gonna add a song here because she deserves to be heard. She disappeared for decades and then re-released her work a couple of years ago, and was nominated for a Grammy for best historical record earlier this year.
Numero Group has her music available for purchase on CD, LP, or digital over at: http://numerogroup.com/products/jackie-shane-any-other-way - you can also listen to it through Spotify :

Hello dears! 🇵🇸🍉🙏I am asking you to support my campaign to help me reach my goal. I am in dire need of your support now to help me stay alive and safe. Gaza is a very dangerous place both in terms of living and lives. The family consists of 20 members, most of them are young children. I need your financial support to enable me to get the basic needs for my family until the Rafah crossing is😭 reopened to transport my family to safety and peace. Please help a family stay alive through your small donations or through your shares to others. Thank you very much for standing by those in need. My campaign 90-ghoset has been documented🍉🙏
