The Watermelon Woman (1996) dir. Cheryl Dunye
Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!
I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.
no one is coming to save yo- wrong!! everyone who has ever shown you love and/or care is saving you a little bit.
My family in Gaza has lived all these meanings. For two years we have been displaced again and again, carrying only blankets, hope, and each other. We no longer have a stable shelter, but we are trying to stay alive. you can support my family’s
For those who do not know our story...
We are a family of a father, mother, and four children living in Gaza, under circumstances that are hard for anyone to ignore.We want to keep our children safe, but right now, all we have is to appeal to you to stand by our side. We hope that in the future, we will survive, travel, and return to become self-reliant.
Signal boost. A family in Gaza needs visibility and support. Please keep this circulating. ❤️
I am now on my fifth day without food… surviving only on water Not because I’m fasting by choice . I do this to save whatever little food I can for my family.
The food we have left wouldn’t last a day if we all ate. So I stay hungry. I drink water to quiet the pain, to stay standing, to keep going. Every bite I don’t eat means one more bite for my kids.
My body is getting weaker, but a parent’s love is stronger than hunger.
The famine is real. The suffering is deep.
Please don’t look away.
@dawoudi and I speak almost every day. Every day I ask him how he's doing and hope he can tell me he's been able to eat something. He tells me not to worry, but I can't help it, because my heart is breaking.
Please help him by donating to his family's fundraiser, so that they can buy food when it arrives on the market. Thank you. ❤️

It is #15 on the gazavetters list, and was also shared by @nabulsi here and here.
Every reblog keeps our story alive, and every donation helps us hold onto life itself. Please, continue to stand with us through your love and support

list of GFMs for families trying to evacuate gaza
making a list of all of the fundraisers of people who have reached out to me directly on here in order to have them all in one place. all of them have either been vetted by other users or i verified them personally by checking their other social media accounts (like twitter or instagram) to confirm. everyone here definitely needs support, a lot of their family members are injured or in need of medical care that is not available in gaza. i am also linking their tumblr accounts so that you can follow them to keep up with their campaigns.

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
I'm also gonna stop listing the reasons why I recognize something is a scam. It's becoming more and more clear there is 1 person behind this STRING of scams and they're leaving less trails behind but it still reeks of them and their MO.
DO NOT TRUST ANY GOFUNDME OR REQUEST FOR CROWDFUNDING THAT PALESTINIAN BLOGGERS HAVEN'T VERIFIED.
At this point I'm fine receiving a bunch of inbox messages asking me to vet x y z so y'all can avoid this shit. But please have some critical thinking!
People are exploiting our situation.
Reblog this post.
Whether you wanna read the whole thing or not idc.
REBLOG IT.
The person this was about deleted the 4th or 5th scam account they made and are definitely gonna make a new one soon. I don't want anybody falling for this anymore.
OP's masterlist of vetted requests
every little bit helps.
i wake up thirsty and i think of palestine. i go to the doctor’s office and i think of palestine. a sign in the corner of the waiting room says ‘this is a place of healing, disruptive behavior will not be tolerated’ and i think of palestine. they probably weren’t thinking of bombs and snipers and mass graves in parking lots. i call my parents and i think of palestine. i drive to the grocery store and i think of palestine. i look at the clear blue sky and i think of palestine. i put the dishes away and i think of palestine. i feed my cat and i think of palestine. i listen to music and i think of palestine. i read poetry and i think of palestine. i text my friends and i think of palestine. i think of palestine and i think of palestine and i think of palestine

Every fun post on here that encourages people to have hobbies/be creative always gets an avalanche of "Some people are poor Karen" type reactions and respectfully, you're all super annoying. I've never lived above the poverty line and this is a list of hobbies I have that were cheap or entirely free:
Read books: Go to the library, lend a book from a friend
knitting, crochet, embroidery: Get some needles from the bargan store and ask around, people have leftovers from projects they'll happily give you. Thrift stores also often carry leftover fabric and other supplies. And talk about your hobby loud enough and an old lady will show up and gift you their whole collection, because there are way more old ladies with a closet full of wool than there are grandchildren who want to take up the hobby.
Origami/paper crafts: get some scrap paper and scissors, watch a youtube tutorial
walking: put on shoes open door
pilates/yoga/etc: get a mat or just use your carpet, watch a youtube tutorial
Houseplants: look online for people that swap plant cuttings. There are always people giving out stuff for free to get you started. If you're nice enough you'll probably get extra
gardening: You're gonna need some space for this one of course but you can just play around with seeds and cuttings from your grocery vegetables.
aquarium keeping is a bit of an obscure one but I got most of my stuff second hand for cheap or free and now I have a few thousand euro worth of material and plants.
drawing/art: You get very far just playing with bargan store materials. I did my entire art degree with mostly those.
writing: Rotate a cow in your head for free
cooking: again one you can make very expensive, but there are many budget recipes online for free. Look for African or Asian shops to get good rice and cheap spices.
Join a non-profit: Cities will have creative organisations who let you use woodworking machines or screen presses or laser cutters or 3D printers etc etc etc for a small fee. Some libraries also lend out materials.
candle making: You need some molds (cheap), wick, two old cooking pots for au bain marie melting and a ton of scrap candles, ask people to keep them aside for you.
a herbarium, flower pressing: Leaves are free, wildflowers too, ask if you can take from peoples gardens.
puzzles: thrift stores, your grandma probably
Citizen science: look for projects in your area or get the iNaturalist app
And lastly and most importantly: Share! Share your supllies, share your knowledge. Surround yourself with other creative people and before you know it someone will give you a pot of homemade jam and when you want to paint your kabinet someone will have leftover paint in just the right color and you can give them a homemade candle in return and everyone is having fun and building skills and friendships and not a cent is exchanged. We have always lived like this, it's what humans are build to do.
And all of it sure beats sitting behind a computer going "No stranger, I refuse to let myself have a good time."
Anyway I'm logging off bc I'm making some badges for a friend who cooked for me and then I'm going to fix some holes in everyones clothes.
Birdwatching - download a free app for identifying and/or logging and go for walks or hikes or just sit in your yard/at your window depending on where you live. (My biologist friend uses the Merlin Bird ID app for identifying and eBird for logging, so that’s what I got now that I’m getting into it. These apps are associated btw, both by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology). A cheap/basic pair of binoculars helps too.
Crosswords and other word puzzles - lots of free sites
Learn a language - Duolingo is free, among other apps
Photography - Most people have smartphones these days that actually have decent enough cameras that could suffice for beginners and intermediates - the important part is your eye and the composition, etc. Plus there are free Photoshop-like sites for editing, like pixlr.com. Also you can find old, great quality DSLRs that still work for cheap! They’re not like cell phones lol; my Canon is almost 20 years old and works like a charm. And good ol' YouTube University can give you beginner lessons if you don't know what to look for or how to get started.
Journaling (and/or bullet journaling)
Read lyrics along with songs while listening to them. If you don’t have Spotify, there are tons of free lyric websites out there.
Research an unfamiliar topic either online at home or at the library.
Also for any hobby or just life, there's always the Buy Nothing Project and freecycle and Trash Nothing where people exchange things rather than throwing away stuff they don't need!

i would like to share my rock playlists with you all so here they are :)
black people created rock btw
my magnum opus. a playlist full of rock songs, or rock inspired songs, by black artists only. various rock genres and artists from different time periods have been added. pop punk, metal, post - hardcore, rock rap, etc.
black g!rl pvnk !
similar to the playlist above, this is a playlist full of rock, or rock inspired songs, by black women. featuring both rock and rock sub genres as well as a heavy influence of rock in rap music as well.
𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖙 ﹗﹗﹗
women in rock and it’s sub genres ONLY! focusing on women of color, and particularly vocalists. playlist inspired after listening to sonic youth and starting kim gordon’s book! example artists: paramore, meet me @ the altar, tonight alive, and more.
early 00s melancholy
a combination playlist of shoegaze, grunge, japanese rock, experimental rock, post - punk, and more. it’s all about the gloom and doom… laying on the floor type of music. also features some dream pop and indie music. example artists: slowdive, mazzy star, cocteau twins, deftones
i just wanna feel something
a random mix of really good songs, particularly metal and post - hardcore, that’ll make you feel something. the lyrics can be kinda emotional, but fun! example artists: nine inch nails, ladybaby, johnny goth, poppy, babymetal
#% ⚠️💢 !!
another big master playlist. throwing entire rock albums from various artists and genres. goth, pop punk, post - hardcore, metal, screamo, emo, etc. music ranges from the 80s to now. on shuffle you can hear anyone from the cure to my chemical romance to kittie, so on and forth.
༻ ☆ ༺
remember watching emo sims 2 music videos on youtube when you were like 8? to songs like my immortal and all around me? that’s just this playlist.
at least in this lifetime
japanese rock, progressive rock, and indie. short and simple. inspired by the movies all about lily chou chou and blue spring.
i’ll devour you; bones and all!
this is kind of niche but i love when the pop girls dip their toes into the rock genre and either: 1.) completely go from making pop to rock, 2.) make full on rock songs, 3.) make rock remixes to their pop songs, or 3.) make a pop / rock fusion song. this playlist is me trying to find as many as those as i can, as well as mixing in a few straight up rock songs [& its sub genres] that i can find. this playlist is a work in progress and a little experimental.
to the poor (or otherwise financially unwell) person reading this, please don't beat yourself up about how you spend your money. especially if you're disabled or come from a not-well-off family.
it's not wrong to buy fast food if it means you eat. it's not wrong to make indulgent purchases if it means you're happy. it's not wrong to get things to make your life easier. it's not wrong to buy something to comfort you. it's not wrong to get new clothes, especially if what you have is old or doesnt fit well. etc. etc.
you're doing the best you can under an oppressive system (ie. capitalism). and odds are reducing your spending won't make you financially stable (which sucks but still). life is hard enough. don't make it harder by beating yourself up over something that ultimately is not your fault. it is not your fault.
I think this is a good opportunity to educate people on the history of Palestine, the Nakba, and how it happened to show why what's happening today has been happening for the last century. Here's a documentary series that uses archival footage, official documentation, Israeli and Arab historian accounts, and personal accounts from Palestinian refugees to tell the story of the colonization of Palestine. Remember to click the Read More in the link to look at the episodes.
Even if you don't plan on watching it, I would still appreciate if you could share this so access to this knowledge is more widespread.
This was one of the tags on the post by someone who reblogged it.
Thank you for sharing more ressources, and the website is very good but it genuinely cannot replace this documentary series I recommended. A point by point website cannot replace newly-discovered archival footage, primary source documents, and the accounts of the refugees themselves as they lived the colonization of Palestine, along with an explanation of the plans of the British, the settlers, and all the tactics and dynamics that occured in chronological order.
Understanding the chain of events and the cause-and-effect relations between them is essential. Keep that in mind when choosing the sources you use to learn more about Palestinian history. It is best to use multiple sources instead of trying to replace one with another. Thank you.
Old, but reblogging this again. Many people are still only discovering our history and colonization now.
It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!
its been rly heartening to see big tumblr accounts with a specific theme (or bit) take a moment to raise awareness for palestine. in many ways being vocally pro-palestine is far, far more important than donations right now. palestinians have said so too. if it weren't it wouldn't be so risky for people to speak out. its a war on human life but it's also a war on the very memory, culture and history of the palestinian people. we can help them fight the second one just by posting. solidarity matters more than anything in this moment.
Everything here.
Donating is important, but currently it does nothing for Gaza. Nothing whatsoever. It is under such an extreme blockade that nothing will enter Gaza until Israel is finished with it, at which point it will already be too late.
If you want to help - amplify Palestinian voices. CHALLENGE Zionism & Zionist rhetoric everywhere you see it. The risks Palestinians take just sharing messages from their families are bigger than I believe most people know. The bare minimum we as Palestinians ask is that you use your voice wherever you can, & support those doing the same.
