"Hello, I am a 24-year-old black woman and activist. On September 14th, my big sister was murdered in front of my dad's house, where she lived with her two young boys. I am asking for support and connections during this rough time. I am helping my dad and my remaining sister to navigate the upcoming court battle we will be facing. I am homeless and recently had a baby girl on fathers days. I have been living in hotels since July, paying a daily rate of 200$. If I could get some help to focus on my family, it would relieve me of some of this burden. Thank you anything is helpful. $luvsmooshh @luvsmooshh"
Obviously there's a lot of shit going on at once, and now her family is going through the news circus. Anything to help her not have to worry about where she is laying her head will give her more ability to be with her family right now. Thank you.

Check my old posts for some context, I've been trying to help Simone (Mona) stay on her feet for a few years now. She's currently living out of hotels in the next state over with her newborn because landlords are fucking vampires. If by some miracle we could get $53 raised for tonight she can probably take a road trip tomorrow to stay with a friend's relative.
I just don't want her to have to sleep in her car tonight and potentially be harassed by the cops.
It's been a minute since I posted about Luvsmooshh. She had lost her first baby and was dealing with medical bills. Well she was actually in somewhat stable housing for a while! Had a job and an apartment walking distance from each other. She also gave birth to a baby girl around the one year anniversary of having and losing her first.
That's when her apartment got sold for the third time (landlords and real estate giants were playing hot potato with a building in need of repairs). After a legal battle with her landlord she got put out and has been living in hotels for the last 2 weeks. She got approval for a new apartment, but the old place kept stalling on sending her her deposit back and now it's looking like someone else is getting that unit.
There is a Gofundme! Please help if you can, with donations or by sharing this around. Thank you.

It's been a minute, Luvsmooshh phone is broken, so we weren't in contact for a while there.
She and her roommates are kind of in a crossroads with the landlord right now. Taking things day by day, right now she mostly needs food.

Cashapp: Her cashapp account has been making auto-withdraws so this is not preferred. I can be cashapped at $notopia and send it to Luvsmooshh, but if you can send directly to her that's obviously better.
Here we go again, Luvsmooshh is facing another eviction.
I know that asking on here won't realistically solve this problem but when I say anything helps I really mean it. It's about survival at the end of the day.

Thank you to everyone who has helped out over the past year and a half. There hasn't been much but I know that's usually because the people who tend to give tend to have the least to give. It is all appreciated!
I kind of referenced this in my last post... but luvshmooshh wasn't ready to have it all out there.
Luvsmooshh gave birth to and lost a baby girl. Even though she is still grieving she has to act quickly to get the birth and death certificates. They are about $30 apiece so we're hoping for a least $60.
Though $100 would more realistically help her out right now. As usual anything helps, food is expensive rn.
I'm digging up this older post because Luvsmooshh decided she wants to show a moment she got to have with her baby before she lost her.
An unfortunate reality of asking for money on the internet is, due to mistrust, you kind of have to expose all the vulnerable parts of your life. I've been making posts on here for my friend Luvsmooshh for over a year now, and she's shared with whatever faceless observers of my blog details about medical emergencies, violence , and being surprised with and then ultimately losing a baby.
She just wants people to know that these stories are real and that she is real. (Image below)

Luvshmooshh (my friend who i've been making posts on tumblr for for about a year now) neds to pick up pain meds tomorrow. The person who was supposed to drive her to pick up the meds ran out of gas.
The car is sitting next to an offramp, so they need gas money, the sooner the better.

A lot has been going on. Luvsmooshh just got out of the hospital. I may be making more posts about it later, but for now she just wants help getting groceries together. She came home to basically no food, and the antibiotics are still making her nauseous.

So the money we put together for the apartment application, we thought some of that was going to first months rent. But they are now trying to pull the rug out from under luvsmooshh and demand first month rent in full before they can move into the building.
I guess the ask isn't as small anymore, but anything helps!
Za'tar (زَعْتَر; also transliterated "za'atar," "zaatar" and "zatar") is the name of a family of culinary herbs; it is also the name of a group of spice blends made by mixing these herbs with varying amounts of olive oil, sumac, salt, roasted sesame seeds, and other spices. Palestinian versions of za'tar often include caraway, aniseed, and roasted wheat alongside generous portions of sumac and sesame seeds. The resulting blend is bold, zesty, and aromatic, with a hint of floral sourness from the sumac, and notes of licorice and anise.
Za'tar is considered by Palestinians to have particular national, political, and personal importance, and exists as a symbol of both Israeli oppression and Palestinian home-making and resistance. Its major components, olive oil and wild thyme, are targeted by the settler state in large part due to their importance to ecology, identity, and trade in Palestine—settlers burn and raze Palestinian farmers' olive trees by the thousands each year. A 1977 Israeli law forbade the harvesting of wild herbs within its claimed borders, with violators of the law risking fines and confiscation, injury, and even death from shootings or land mines; in 2006, za'tar was further restricted, such that even its possession in the West Bank was met with confiscation and fines.
Despite the blanket ban on harvesting wild herbs (none of which are endangered), Arabs are the only ones to be charged and fined for the crime. Samir Naamnih calls the ban an attempt to "starve us out," given that foraging is a major source of food for many Palestinians, and that picking and selling herbs is often the sole form of income for impoverished families. Meanwhile, Israeli farmers have domesticated and farmed za'tar on expropriated Palestinian land, selling it (both the herb and the spice mixture) back to Palestinians, and later marketing it abroad as an "Israeli" blend; they thus profit from the ban on wild harvesting of the herb. This farming model, as well as the double standard regarding harvesting, refer back to an idea that Arabs are a primitive people unfit to own the land, because they did not cultivate or develop it as the settlers did (i.e., did not attempt to recreate a European landscape or European models of agriculture); colonizing and settling the land are cast as justified, and even righteous.
The importance of the ban on foraging goes beyond the economic. Raya Ziada, founder of an acroecology nonprofit based in Ramallah, noted in 2019 that "taking away access to [wild herbs] doesn't just debilitate our economy and compromise what we eat. It's symbolic." Za'tar serves variously as a symbol of Palestinians' connection to the land and to nature; of Israeli colonial dispossession and theft; of the Palestinian home ("It’s a sign of a Palestinian home that has za’tar in it"); and of resistance to the colonial regime, as many Palestinians have continued to forage herbs such as za'tar and akkoub in the decades since the 1977 ban. Resistance to oppression will continue as long as there is oppression.
Palestine Action has called for bail fund donations to aid in their storming, occupying, shutting down, and dismantling of factories and offices owned by Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems. Also contact your representatives in the USA, UK, and Canada.
Ingredients:
Za'tar (Origanum syriacum), 250g once dried (about 4 cups packed)
250g (1 2/3 cup) sesame seeds
170g (3/4 cup) sumac berries
100g (1/2 cup) wheat berries (optional)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp aniseed (optional)
1/2 Tbsp caraway seeds (optional)
Levantine wild thyme (also known as Bible hyssop, Syrian oregano, and Lebanese oregano) may be purchased dried online. You may also be able to find some dried at a halal grocery store, where it will be labelled "زعتر" (za'tar) and "thym," "thyme," or "oregano." Check to make sure that what you're buying is just the herb and not the prepared mixture, which is also called "زعتر." Also ensure that what you're buying is not a product of Israel.
If you don't have access to Levantine thyme, Greek or Turkish oregano are good substitutes.
Wheat berries are the wheat kernel that is ground to produce flour. They may be available sold as "wheat berries" at a speciality health foods store, or as "haleem wheat" in a halal or South Asian grocery store. They may be omitted, or replaced with pre-ground flour.
Instructions:
1. Harvest wild thyme and remove the stems from the leaves. Wash the leaves in a large bowl of water and pat dry; leave in a single layer in the sun for four days or so, until brittle. Skip this step if using pre-dried herbs.
2. Crumble leaves by rubbing them between the palms of your hands until they are very fine. Pass through a sieve or flour sifter into a large bowl, re-crumbling any leaves that are too coarse to get through.
Crumbling between the hands is an older method. You may also use a blender or food processor to grind the leaves.
3. Mix the sifted thyme with a drizzle of olive oil and work it between your hands until incorporated.
4. Briefly toast sumac berries, caraway seeds, and aniseed in a dry skillet over medium heat, then grind them to a fine powder in a mortar and pestle or a spice mill.
5. Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until deeply golden brown.
6. (Optional) In a dry skillet on medium-low, toast wheat berries, stirring constantly, until they are deeply golden brown. Grind to a fine powder in a spice mill.
Some people in the Levant bring their wheat to a local mill to be ground after toasting, as it produces a finer and more consistent texture.
7. Mix all ingredients together and work between your hands to incorporate.
Store za'tar in an airtight jar at room temperature. Mix with olive oil and use as a dipping sauce with bread.
