It is interesting how posts about misogyny would receive thousands of notes (rightfully so), but when a Palestinian man requests for help, he is often dismissed, ignored, and humiliated. He is obligated to step down and have a female family member be the face of fundraiser. It would be his wife, his daughter, his sister, his mother.

This is exactly what Ayah is going through. Before GFM has unjustly terminated her fundraiser, her husband, Mohammed Al-Habil, would promote their fundraiser across different social media platforms. You would be see his face in the photos, along with their 3 young children, Ahmed (8), Osama (6), and Mira (4). Then, for their new campaign, Ayah is in the spotlight.

This should not be the case. (It should never be the case!) Gender should not determine who is worthy of support. Especially in the middle of an accelerated genocide. Everyone is experiencing the extreme violence, the manufactured famine, the brutal dehumanization from the Zionist entity.

So please show your support to both Ayah and Mohammed! Donate to their fundraiser! Donations have been painfully slow. They would go on days without one!

€2,466 / €50,000

€3,170/50,000

Only 3 donations in the last day

Nothing has changed since the previous update

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

In 2017, American film researchers recovered “Something Good – Negro Kiss,” a short film depicting a playful kiss between a Black couple which had not seen the light of day for more than a century. A long-forgotten artifact from the earliest years of American film, the sweet, humanizing vignette, produced by the Selig Polyscope Company, makes a startling contrast to the overwhelmingly racist and blackface-ridden contempory portrayals of African Americans. Four years later in 2021, archivists in Norway, halfway across the world, identified a sister short in their collections—an extended alternate cut which reveals more of Chicago stage performers Gertie Brown and Saint Suttle’s vaudeville-like routine, a theatrical, hot-and-cold romantic dynamic between two lovers which parodies the popular and controversial short “The Kiss” (1896). Both films, which had previously been lost, were known from entries in old motion picture catalogs but had been assumed to be era-typical, anti-Black “race films” until their rediscovery in the 21st century. Together with its more famous sibling, which has since been inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, this alternate version of “Something Good” represents the first-known instance of Black intimacy ever captured on-screen.

SOMETHING GOOD [Alternate Version] (1898) Directed by William Selig
