now @dopplerradar!

The only charity right now that seems to be helping with this shortage is called Motherbeing

Motherbeing is an organization based on education and providing assistance in healthcare for Arab women.

They recently donated 200,000 sanitary pads as women have been taking dangerous measures to delay their periods out of fear of toxic shock syndrome.

In case you are unaware, toxic shock syndrome is a possibly life threatening infections that develops from wearing a feminine hygiene product, usually tampons or cups, for too long.

They currently don’t have donations open, but people are trying to get them to. There’s products you can buy from their website, however.

This will get like three notes, but I just came across it and I wanted to post something. When something as serious as genocide happens, people forget little things like pads and tampons, which actually can be life threatening.

If you want to donate to charities similar to this one, here’s a few I found:

-Helping Women Period: provides pads and tampons to women (and people with uteruses) who are low income or homeless.

-The Pad Project: supplies low income women with pads all over the world.

-She Supply: provides pads and tampons for homeless women in Texas

-Free the Tampon: organization working towards making sanitary products free

-The Period Panty Project: takes physical donations of sanitary products as well as just donations for women in Ohio.

-Days for Girls: donated reusable pads to women all over the world.

khushii: provides pads to school-aged girls so they don’t drop out

sanitree: provides reusable cloth pads to impoverished and rural women and girls

goonj: also provides reusable cloth pads to impoverished women and girls

Read the fine print to discover 45% of these "2,031 antisemitic incidents" were actually "anti-Israel rallies"

attached to the quote retweet is an excerpt of the ADL press release that reads:

This map displays data since October 7, 2023 on incidents of vandalism, harassment and assault directed at Jews (or people perceived to be Jewish) or Jewish institutions, as well as anti_israel rallies which featured overt antisemitism, anti-Zionism and/or expressions of support of terror. Incident figures will be updated twice a week. This data is preliminary and may change as more information on the incidents is assessed over time. [this part has been highlighted in yellow by the tweet writer: Since October 7th, ADL has recorded 2,031 antisemitic incidents, including 905 anti-Israel rallies]

bellow the quote retweet is the original tweet made by ADL @/ADL that reads:

🚨Breaking: The ADL Center on Extremism has tracked a staggering 2,031 antisemitic incidents in the US since Oct 7 - the highest number of incidents during any two-month period in 40+ years since ADL began tracking in 1979.

second image is a quote retweet by Katie Halper A Jew For #CeasefireNow @/kthalps that reads:

In related news, @/ADL has classified Jewish Voice For Peace @/jvplive a hate group so an antisemitic incident would include a bunch of Jews singing and peacefully calling for a cease fire.

bellow the quote retweet is the original tweet made by New York Post @/nypost that reads:

Antisemitic incidents in US surge 337% since Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack, ADL says

attached to the tweet is an image with a tank and an explosion, and a plaque with fuck history heil hitler written on it with a swastika in the middle

Hi, this is how I wrap presents for people with lower fine motor control; it could be older people, younger people, people with disabilities.

You can use ribbon you already have for wrapping present, and I measured around the item I am about to wrap leaving a little bit of room for the handle.

I taped the beginning end of the ribbon to the box and then loop back the extra ribbon to make a handle, and it should look something like this

You can wrap pretty much like you normally do as long as you make sure that the handle is exposed .

You could even tie something onto the handle for extra support

All done!

i have literally been avoiding making this post for weeks because it's humiliating and a lot to process

in case people needed a visual for my situation this is what my mother's house looks like and this is what I'm forced to live in. it's a fire hazard and affects my asthma. Also, it's anxiety inducing and sends my depression into a dark and deep place that gets harder and harder to crawl out of and I'm trying to find an escape as often as possible. Plus, we've suffered from a roach infestation for literally almost 2 decades. I've been ideating for weeks and my psychological state has been deteriorating

every attempt I've made to get back to Philly has failed because I haven't raised a lot at all. even with my temp job most of it immediately went to bills and the cost of food on the go and transportation has gutted me

I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE FOR MY SAFETY. THERE IS SO MUCH TRAUMA WITHIN THESE WALLS. I can't be the one to help my mom with her problems, she refuses it. I need so desperately to find help and be around healthier people! this is killing me!

I know the help is there! I'm showing something so raw, so damning because I am at the fucking end of my rope! I don't have a bed to sleep on! my mental state is fragile and unstable and I'm an emotional wreck. no amount of talk therapy and mindfulness can help this, I NEED TO LEAVE

UK gov cornered this kid with 15 immigration cops and then detained him in sordid conditions for TEN WEEKS and all his university are offering is £500 per term. He needs more than that PER MONTH and can no longer work. Please let’s fully fund this. The campaign is asking for £1300 more in the immediate term. https://www.gofundme.com/f/weareallmuhammad-help-with-my-living-costs

SUPPORT PALESTINIAN BUSINESSES

while it’s important for us to protest, raise awareness, boycott, and pressure our governments… it is also important that we appreciate palestinian people and palestinian culture. they are more than just victims. they are artists, entrepreneurs, fashion designers, movie makers, writers, musicians, scholars—they are people. so let’s celebrate all that makes palestinians who they are by supporting their businesses and showing our appreciation and solidarity.

Palestinian author from Gaza, Hiba Abu Nada, wrote on Facebook days before she was killed by an Israeli strike:

نحن في الأعلى نبني مدينة ثانية، أطباء بلا مرضى ولا دماء، أساتذة بلا ازدحام وصراخ على الطلبة، عائلات جديدة بلا آلام ولا حزن، وصحفيون يصورون الجنة، وشعراء يكتبون في الحب الأبدي، كلهم من غزة كلهم. في الجنة توجد غزة جديدة بلا حصار تتشكل الآن.

Translation:

We, high above in the skies, are building another city filled with doctors without patients or blood, teachers who aren't yelling at students in overcrowded classrooms, there are new families without pain or sorrow, there are journalists capturing heaven, and poets writing about eternal love - all of them are from Gaza, all of them. In heaven, there is a new Gaza without siege forming now.
