Jamal could also use some help in anybody else willing to adopt his fundraiser: that is, to make posts bringing attention to his fundraiser every so often and remain in contact with him, his blog is @jamal-aldahdouh. He only has a couple people helping him and regularly doing this. If not, I ask that people please give attention to this fundraiser and reblog it whenever you see it, and maybe even tag others in the post.

It's just not effective. It's the wrong reason. You shouldn't be cleaning because you're afraid of being shamed or because you feel guilty. That might work once every few months in a burst of manic chore energy but that's no way to live. The reason why I don't find these things exhausting to do is because it's just things I do to make myself comfortable, and it feels that way. When I'm ironing my clothes I look forward to wearing clean cozy warm clothes. I'm also daydreaming about 20 other things because I do have adhd and I'm maybe listening to an audiobook, but the emotion associated with doing my own laundry is something like ...contentment because I get to decide how exactly I want my clothes to smell and feel. It's largely just a positive emotion. I think the trick is getting yourself to be happy you get to make future you happy. That's a sustainable motivation you don't need shame or guilt for.

Also sometimes it's easy to underestimate how much a "small" sensory issue is making things hard. I hate touching dirty laundry, especially things like wet dishrags. I realised this was what made me want to avoid doing that specific bag of laundry and got some gloves. Now it's fine because I don't have to touch any wet and questionable textures. A lot of these accomodations might feel like overkill + you might not notice how much they bother you/contribute to putting things off until you pay attention and do something about it. If you think the scent bothers you a lot wearing a mask to empty the bin might help remove revulsion re: emptying the bin and so make that easier to motivate yourself into doing just wear one. Yeah it is overkill and not needed. But you don't want to accumulate trash inside because the smell would make you uncomfortable. If the goal is to avoid discomfort you should also eliminate the discomfort of the chore itself insofar possible! If your hands hurt easily from scrubbing things clean see if you can find a more effective cleaning agent or a cheap electric brush. If the sound of the vacuum bothers you even just a little put on headphones. There is no need to make this into some kind of guiltstriken spartan ordeal or only prevent discomfort if it's absolutely necessary for the task.

Like, next time you do the task, observe yourself. Notice where you feel uncomfortable or frustrated. Ask yourself what it is that makes you not want to do it. Address that if you can!

Sometimes I feel I’m going crazy because of what’s happening and overthinking stressing about my brother and my responsibilities

Every time i say i want to stop sharing and helping i go back and a lot of scammers even people of gaza some of them are scamming and do more than one campaign.

I’m sorry for anyone I didn’t respond to and shared i have been doing that for one year

I’m not good at speaking and speak out how i feel and what i think.

Tumblr is a family for me .. I still need your help for my brother because isarel weaponized hunger against the people of gaza you need fortune to buy some food like canned food if you found it and there’s no flour.

My brother needs at least 100$ per day because he’s paying 45% fee

Donate and share. They have been fundraising for a year, but donations have been painfully slow. It is the point where they have decided to lower the goal of 20K to 10K! There is $4,032 USD left to go! You can match me! I have given $5 USD, but you're more than welcome to give any amount!

This fundraiser is vetted by sudanfunds.com!

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

I’m making this post on the behalf of Sami and his family. Fundraiser here.

Sami says:

"A simple picture, yet it holds a powerful meaning. Tell me what did you understand, and what will you do? 'I understood that these children are in urgent need of donations, and I will donate. I will also share this post—it might help in some way. This image is full of sorrowful meaning, and I will do everything I can for these innocent children. I will donate so that they can go to school, eat clean food, and sleep in peace.' This is exactly what is happening right now with me and my family in the heart of Gaza. Please, donate—share—speak up. Don’t stop. We are between life and death. Don’t leave us behind."

Please do anything you can to help, any engagement is appreciated even if you cannot directly give to the campaign. Thank you so much <3.

There's a Black YouTuber and musician I really like, called JuneJissle, and recently he put out a skit for Juneteenth for Nickelodeon! To celebrate that, I'm bringing him here.

(This is for all the "rap sounds the same 🙄" people! I'm giving you an easy chance to educate yourself here, to avoid being That Stupid Racist the next time the conversation comes up!)

For his "In Different Hoods" skits, what he does is sample existing songs from different genres, into rap instrumentals from different localities. You can tell a New York beat from a Jersey beat from an LA beat! And even within these cities, different neighborhoods can have different sounds and artists! Even artists from the same place in separate eras can create different music!

The living situation in Gaza is catastrophic and he is no exception. He is still a very young man but he's shouldering the huge responsibility of his family, by going out every single day to find what little food is even available in Gaza to provide for his family. Only 1 kilo of flour is 30 dollars. That's just enough to make around 12 small loaves of bread. And this needs to feed 8 people for a whole day. And that's just a small glimpse of the daily life that Mohammad is living with his whole family.

Mohammad posts regular updates on his blog @moayeshblog so please follow him there where he is posting updates. And most importantly, please check out his fundraiser. He is relying on donations to provide for his whole family and those donations are very very slow at the moment.

these are all green on my computer !!! >:\

please help my brother ibrahim survive as gaza starves and suffers! his father still suffers with bladder cancer complications and ibrahim is exhausted!

This is my little girl Ronza, she was born in the war and she is now one year old and her birthday was two weeks ago. She didn't celebrate it either. Ronza suffers from malnutrition and she appealed before.

Today, we had her blood tested, and the result was heartbreaking: 🔴 Hemoglobin level: 7.3 🥺

This is extremely low and means she is suffering from severe anemia that threatens her life.

Under normal conditions, this could be treated.

But here in Gaza…

There is no adequate food

No proper medicine

No functional hospitals

No safety and no means to provide her with basic care

Ronza is suffering from extreme weakness, pale skin, and lack of energy, and she is in urgent need of medical treatment and proper nutrition — simply to survive.

As a heartbroken father watching his child wither in his arms, I beg for your help.

Please stand with us. Help us save Ronza before it’s too late.

Every donation, every share, every kind word… could bring her back to life.

📌Save Ronza… Her childhood shouldn’t be full of pain 💔

Unfortunately, the internet has been cut off in Gaza for two days now. I will not be able to send you the post to share. I hope you share the post if you see it, and I appreciate it.

What luxury can you give up this week to help this family? Please find your human compassion and support a minimum of $5, $10, $20 to help.

If you don’t have any luxuries to give up for this family, please reblog with words of support to boost visibility and remind them that they’re not alone and not forgotten.
