freaky ass lesbian

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

if you've been following the current war in the middle east while wondering how you can help, here are a list of charities you can donate to! they are mostly focused on lebanon and palestine but if anyone has recommendations for other trusted organizations doing aid work in the middle east, please feel free to add to this post!

Doctors Without Borders / Medecins Sans Frontieres - donate

Palestinian Children's Relief Fund- donate

Disasters Emergency Committee - donate

Support Displaced Families in Lebanon UNRWA - donate

the following campaigns are hosted by GlobalGiving, which has a 4/4 rating on Charity Navigator. GlobalGiving includes vetting details in each of their campaigns.

Lebanon Emergency Response

Urgent Support for Families from South Lebanon

As Families Flee, Lebanon's Pets Are Left Behind

Relief through art and laughter in Lebanon

this was made a month ago but i got scared to post it here cuz idk if im too proud of it😭✌🏽

i got a decent amount of support with it from my tiktok though which im real thankful for! (it's under the same usermame if you'd like to check it out!)

all campaigns are vetted by the organizers of gaza funds. this site has been vouched for by palestinian bloggers. for full transparency, a list of campaigns is available to view on their site. additionally, if you look at my list of individual campaigns, you will see that i personally trust these campaigns and have donated to them many times.

yasmin's family: 11 days since last donation

karem al-kahlout: 11 days since last donation

ghada and abdulrahman: 10 days since last donation

ghazi mekawi: 7 days since last donation

campaigns in danger of becoming critically stagnant:

hassan abdullah: 6 days since last donation

ibrahim abu raida: 6 days since last donation

mohammed ahmed: 4 days since last donation

rania alneder: 4 days since last donation

nada muhaisen: 4 days since last donation

this list comprises the majority of my active gaza funds spotlight campaigns. i am actively spotlighting 15 campaigns. four are critically stagnant, and five more are in danger of becoming critically stagnant.

individual posts for these campaigns are generally ignored, which is why i've moved to using this pinned post instead. it simply takes me too long to queue up a bunch of posts people will just scroll past. please don’t ignore this, you have the opportunity to throw someone a lifeline and do some real good. even if you don’t have any money, a reblog is free and can help get more eyes on these campaigns. none of them are on tumblr, to my knowledge. nobody sees these campaigns unless people reblog posts about them or make their own posts.

thank you in advance for your consideration.

tags for reach under the cut (you can always let me know if you'd rather not be on this list, or if you want to be added to the list!)

My friend Abdu does what I do as a peer mutual aid advocate in more danger for much less stability.

He has treked from his home in Uganda, and fleed Kenya to South Sudan as a refugee among other queer survivors. The work he does for them invaluable and his patience and courage is immeasurable, truly.

Do you care about us? Or do you only care about us if we are white, cis passing or otherwise assimilated into western culture?

You have the opportunity to help someone in a foreign land, today, everyday. These refugees deserve this help and safett not because they are like us, but because they are human.

His campaign is below.

It may seem an entire camp of people need more than an individual can give but them they must be fortunate then that we are a community, a village, a collective of kin willing to help however we can!

Sudan is a nuts place atm, crazy dangerous for everyone, it is an insane privilege to hear from anyone like us currently there. Please keep them alive and such a privilege in tact. Every life saved and mouth fed is a divine blessing and the greatest work an individual can ensure!

A frustrating update is below. Do not look away.

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.

My father is not recovering, he is only enduring the pain

There is still no access to the treatment he desperately needs

We are trying to survive in a place where survival itself feels impossible

No stable shelter. No income. No proper medical care

All we are asking for is a real chance

A chance for treatment, a chance for dignity, a chance to keep my father alive

If you can help, please stand with us

Donate, share, or help our story reach someone who can

If you ignore this message, you are leaving ten lives to an uncertain fate amidst the rubble. 💔

Imagine the agony we endure:

I live in a broken body. A severe injury to my twelfth vertebra gnaws at me day and night. I have no access to treatment, not even a single painkiller to alleviate this suffering. My brother, Samer, who suffers from bipolar disorder, is facing imminent death. He has run out of medication, and his legs are severely injured.

We need to reach Egypt. My spinal injury is critical and cannot be postponed. Samer's physical and mental health is deteriorating by the hour.

Please, don't stand idly by and watch us perish. Your donation is the only bridge that can save us from the brink of death and bring us back to life. 🫂❤️‍🩹

Idk what to say to make y'all care abt a disabled Black lesbian. In the unforgiving deep south. Working but still struggling under medical debt and the poor life quality of Alabama.
