children, old people, pregnant women, and people with disabilities are unable to get enough food to nourish themselves. they don't have access to life saving medicines and the aid they require.

mohammed is a disabled child who was receiving regular physical therapy before the genocide. due to the invasion, his life has been flipped and he is unable to enjoy his childhood or get access to physical therapy.

his parents are fundraising to help him. kindly consider donating to them so that they can help their little boy. the fundraiser is verified.

This after they spent 2 years dropping explosives equivalent to 7 Hiroshima atomic bombs on the 25 x 5 mile cage

What did you do during the Gaza Holocaust October 2023–present?

do not let up the pressure

ok im taking my post back then.

the rising food prices in gaza due to israel's illegal, inhumane blockade have made it harder for ibrahim and his family to get through the day, too, because they can't afford food. ibrahim is tired. every time we talk, he tells me how afraid he is. it breaks my heart. he deserves the chance to finish college, to worry about the usual things people his age worry about. his family deserves safety and security, to wake up and not worry about food and if they'll survive the day.

his fundraiser is currently at $14,820 CAD out of their total goal of $30k CAD. if you can donate even the price of your favorite coffee, it would mean a lot to him. please, i'm begging. don't let his family down. if you cannot donate, please share this post. his fundraiser keeps losing traction which is affecting his morale. please, don't let him feel alone.

“People started walking, feeling dizzy and falling from their height due to lack of food. Hunger has killed them.”

That’s what my brother told me. What he sees in the streets

The situation in gaza :

The humanitarian situation is becoming increasingly difficult amid a severe shortage of essential supplies.

Famine has become a clear phenomenon in the Gaza Strip, and the situation has become extremely catastrophic.

There is no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel, which is negatively impacting the lives of Palestinians.

We may witness more deaths in the coming days due to the shortage of basic necessities.

I hope you guys continue helping my brother and my relatives there’s almost no donations my brother got 2 donations for the last week 🙏

DISCLAIMER IF YOU ARE MESSAGING ME ABOUT A CAMPAIGN: I receive too many messages every day to personally respond to. I will reblog and queue your post as I receive your message, but I am unlikely to message back. This is not personal; it's just the only manageable way for me to deal with the volume of messages. Thank you for understanding.

The original version of this post was a rotating list of links for both Sudan and Gaza. I was unable to keep up with actually rotating out the links, and so I thought it might be for the best if I just focus all my energy onto one mutual aid campaign. I'll link the original masterpost at the end of this one.

If you've followed me for any amount of time, you probably know that agriculture is one of my passions. I firmly believe in food sovereignty and food justice.

So I was glad to learn about the Revive Gaza's Agriculture project. This program not only produces food (which is critical right now), but it also undermines the blockade intended to starve out Gazans, and is working to provide jobs. The organization has stated that later stages will help remediate the soil that has been poisoned over the course of the genocide.

Their progress in their own words:

Cultivated 1,019 dunums of vegetables with 537 farming families, comprising a total of 3,370 individuals.

Produced 5,090 tons of fresh vegetables.

Rehabilitated 17 greenhouses.

Rehabilitated 2 agricultural wells serving 6,000 individuals.

Provided fishing nets to 30 fisherfolk.

Distributed poultry to families.

If you are wanting to send money to mutual aid programs, please, consider this one.

So I've done my first aid + CPR a few times. And every single time I try and bring up scenarios for fat folks

Specifically like 'what if someone is too large for me to wrap my arms around then to do the heimleich'

And its incredibly rare I get a decent answer.

How absolutely insane is it that me, as a fat person, is asking how to have MY life saved or to save ANOTHER life, is an impossible feat if someone is fat.

Most of the time they tell me to 'just try anyways uwu'

The heimleich is scientifically as effective as slapping someone VERY hard on the back. The only reason it's so well taught is the man that invented it did a lot of great PR for himself. It's also a bit easier for smaller framed people to get the necessary force in, because people are often extremely scared to hurt people, even in life threatening situations.

With larger bodied people, whether they be fat, tall, muscular, etc. If you cannot get your arms around them, literally just slap the shit out of their shoulders. You want hard, open palmed slaps right in the center of the shoulders or slightly below.

If they are too tall for you to reach that high, guide them to lean over the back of a chair, and then slap slap slap slap slap.

It's been proven to be just as effective through many studies. It just doesn't have a trademarked name and a dramatic effect in film.

If you have to do CPR on a larger bodied person, again, fat, body builder, tall and broad, whoever, the trick to finding where you want to put your hands if going to be to take your hand and shove it in their armpit. No seriously. Put your hand in their armpit, then drag it in a straight line towards yourself until you're in the center of the chest, then put your other hand beneath that one. This is where you push. Then you are going to move the arm closest to you out of the way so you can get closer to them, and get the leverage you need to press down for compressions. The more of your body weight that is over your hands, the better the compression will be. Act like you are trying desperately to pack the last of your clothes in a suitcase, and just slam down hard on their chest.

They will make *horrible* noises. You might even break ribs.

But a broken rib is better than being dead.
