hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.

Additionally, we have temporarily disabled the form on the Technical Support & Feedback page and taken the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports page offline. Anyone attempting to access the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports will receive an error page about being blocked from archiveofourown.org, but don't panic -- this is not the case! It's just the default error displayed by Cloudflare. You can continue to access the rest of the site as normal.

Lastly, the Organization for Transformative Works' donation page -- which is hosted by a third party provider -- is currently offline due to a DDoS attack. This is the only donation form the OTW uses, so please be cautious of scammers impersonating AO3 or the OTW to solicit donations. We are unable to take them at this time.

This IS about fandom as well.

Like. It’s not a coincidence that we’re seeing this massive rise in attitudes in niche fandom spaces that are basically EXACTLY the same as mainstream conservative attitudes with a gay hat.

There is no difference between “you cannot have queer people in this book, it will influence children and make them think it’s okay” and “you cannot ship these two, that’s abusive, it will influence people and make them think that’s okay.”

It is the EXACT SAME SHIT. Don’t think we’ve missed how often fandom beef comes with straight up racist, ableist, sexist, and queerphobic shit being slung at “problematic” creators and shippers. Don’t think we’ve missed how the word “pedophile” is thrown at people over fictional shit- while ALSO being thrown at trans people in the mainstream to justify abuse and laws meant to eradicate us.

This. The attitudes seen in the whole anti-ship movement are EXACTLY the same as conservative book burning attitudes. It’s just being directed at a smaller community on a smaller scale by people without legislative power- but the perpetuation of these attitudes in even these small spaces is EXACTLY why bigoted asshats in government are doing what they’re doing.
