there are characters for whom “poor little meow meow” doesn’t quite cut it. To me he’s like a traumatized pit bull mix with a bite history and I’m the white girl with a savior complex trying to stop them from putting him down

Nour (@noor509) is raising funds so he can provide basic needs for his two children, one of whom was born in the middle of this genocidal war! Imagine trying to raise and feed a baby in a genocide, in the midst of constant bombings and with no aid being allowed in! Israel has killed at least 17,400 children during its war on Gaza! With Israel's constant attacks, survival is no easy feat, especially with a baby so young!
To make things worse, their Gofundme fundraiser was closed by GFM when the campaign organizer Andrea (@roadimusprime) switched how he transferred the money to Nour. They have created a PayPal link to collect funds, but donations to Nour have been suffering ever since! Please share and donate if you are able to! Every little bit helps!
Nour’s GFM was Shared by 90-ghost! The link doesn't work now because Tumblr took down Nour's old account, but see the reblog in the Wayback Machine link here, also see the screenshot of 90-ghost's reblog here and here.
It is a tragedy that Palestine is still enduring the same nightmarish conditions that they were this time last year. There has been little to no improvement in things as Israel continues to break ceasefires and block incoming aid as they try and continue their genocide. We would like to once again rally our community and as many others as we can reach to give what support we are able to to Palestine's people.
Like last year, the event will not be a traditional stream fundraiser, rather than pointing people at one donation point, we will be suggesting a number of different recipients for support. However, this year may be organized slightly differently than the way we did it last time; more information regarding that will be shared in the next few days once we confirm our plan. Overall, it's the same idea: all donations to Palestinians and aid groups will be tallied into our grand total for the event.
The all-day, all-weekend streaming event will once again feature a rotation of hosts from Radio TV Solutions putting on all kinds of events. Themed segments, classic segments, crazy gameshow-type beats, chill segments, gaming w/ Da Whole Crew and MORE await you. The event will be hosted at http://stream.rtvsfundraiser.live/. Mark your calendars, tell your friends, and GET READY!
We've confirmed the way we are going to suggest support recipients is not going to change too much, however there is going to be a completely new list as many things have changed in a year.
Finally, in addition to campaigns - if you have any resources you think would be helpful for us to share or know of legitimate aid groups to support that we were not aware of, don't hesitate to send them to info@rtvsfundraiser.live!!
i wish there was an easier way to tell the difference between an "if it sucks hit da bricks" situation and a "sometimes being an adult means doing things that you dont wanna" situation
The best answer to this that I've seen is "You are free to do whatever you like. You must only live with the consequences."
"If it sucks, hit da bricks" is for when you realize that you actually definitely can live with the consequences of Not Doing The Thing.
"Sometimes being an adult means doing things that you don't wanna" is for when you've thought it over and it turns out you would strongly prefer NOT to live with the consequences of Not Doing The Thing.
we could be gigantic feral boars who gallop through the forest together & impale people with our tusks in our next lives if we play our cards just right
I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too 🥺 .

My name is Nour, and I’m 21 years old from northern Gaza.
I once lived a peaceful life with simple dreams, but everything changed on October 7th, 2023, when war tore through Gaza. I had to flee my home, leaving behind everything I knew, and now I live alone in a tent made of torn fabric in southern Gaza.
The constant bombings are unbearable, but being a lesbian in a society that rejects me is even harder.
I live in constant fear of judgment and violence. On top of this, I face extreme shortages of food, water, and basic supplies.
Life has become a daily fight for survival.
Dear LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters around the world, I turn to you in my time of desperate need. I have no one else to ask for help. The world around me looks at me with disgust, and I can no longer bear this life. I am exhausted, broken, and alone. Please, I beg you, help me leave this place and find safety, dignity, and a chance to live as myself. I cannot survive here any longer. Your support is my only hope.
Every day, I fear for my life. But I refuse to give up. I want to live. Please, your support can make all the difference. Every donation, no matter how small, gives me hope for a better tomorrow.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Unvetted but donation protected.
Imagine enduring a harsh winter in a tent made of tarpaulin, with nothing to shield you from the elements.
Every day brings the threat of freezing temperatures, and rainwater can flood our small space, putting us at risk of drowning. The cold can lead to serious health issues, such as chest infections and chronic illnesses.
I am pleading for help to save my family from this life-threatening situation.
Dear friends,
I write to you today with a heavy heart, as life in Gaza becomes more difficult with each passing day. The ongoing war has shattered our lives, and every day presents new struggles that feel almost impossible to overcome.
One of the greatest challenges we face is the constant lack of electricity. It's something we’ve come to live with, and it leaves us in darkness for most of the day. The simplest tasks, like charging our phones or filling up water, have become increasingly difficult.
Water, a basic necessity, is only available to us for a few hours once a week. We spend long hours each week trying to fill as many containers as possible to last through the days. The challenge of living without reliable access to water is hard to describe, but it’s a reality we are facing every single day.
In addition to this, the cost of everything has skyrocketed. Basic food, medicine, and necessities are now out of reach for many families. Prices have become unaffordable, and it is getting harder to make ends meet.
In the face of these challenges, we’ve come to realize that we need a source of sustainable energy to get through the darkness and manage our daily needs. We’re raising funds to purchase solar panels that will cost around $3,500 USD. These panels will allow us to charge our phones, provide light during the endless hours of darkness, and most importantly, help us manage our water supply more effectively.
The solar panels will make a huge difference in our daily lives. They will allow us to survive with more dignity, giving us the ability to stay connected, fill our water containers, and provide some relief in this challenging situation.
If you are able to help in any way—whether through a financial contribution or by sharing this post with others—it would mean the world to us. Your support will make a real and lasting difference.
To those of you who have already stepped in to help, we want to express our deepest gratitude. Your kindness, generosity, and commitment are something we will never forget. You have been a light in our darkest times, and we are so grateful for your support.
Together, we can make it through. Thank you for standing with us.
With heartfelt thanks,
Vetted ! ! !

hi! my friend kole's ac broke this winter and as it's getting warmer and warmer it's making her a little more unhinged by the day, as she's especially sensitive to heat. her mom is thinking about buying a new one with some administrative help from her job but the installation itself will cost around a 100€ which they really don't have and if they did food would be a bigger priority. i would really like her to spend her birthday this summer not worrying about boiling her brains off like a little lobster <3 if we go over the goal it would go towards curbing her food insecurity which also sounds nice i think.
kole said she would prefer my paypal be used as she doesn't want her legal name out there, proof undercut. if you do decide to donate, please mark it with "for kole". thanks to everyone who shares!

products are so bad now that i have to do approximately 8 hours of research before i buy anything
Seriously, if you're planning to spend a coupla hundred bucks on an appliance, or thousands for a car, spend $4 for a month of Consumer Reports (consumerreports.org).
They're a not-for-profit consumers union, dedicated to fair and honest reviews of everything people buy. Totally worth the membership.
And yeah, if money is tight you can join for a month then cancel the membership easily when you're done with your research.
Also check to see if your local public library has a subscription, either in print or digital format (might be listed as a database rather than a magazine - that's the case at my library in Canada).
Most libraries will provide access to CR, either in print or digital format. The digital archives are what you want when researching a specific product, since they cover different areas each issue.
In Denmark there is a similar product (for Scandinavians or anyone who feels like using Firefox's translation capabilities): Forbrugerrådet Tænk (https://taenk.dk/) VERY useful. And some of the reviews aren't under paywall iirc.
Cannot recommend getting your hands on the latest Auto Issue of CR enough if you’re buying a car. They have an entire issue dedicated solely to testing and rating cars on safety, reliability, and umpteen other categories. Looking to buy a used car? They keep tabs on older cars they’ve rated previously to see how they hold up over time.
