Omar needs help for his father! We need to reach $750 as soon as possible for his father.

each time you load the site, it shows one randomly selected, verified fundraiser that's low on funds.

I am 19 years old, and I’m writing these words while trying to hold on to hope despite everything we are going through.

I had previously shared a donation link on Chuffed, but it stopped due to reasons beyond my control.

Recently, a dear friend created a new donation link to help us, and that’s why I’m reaching out again today to ask for your support and kindness 🙏

The home that once brought us together and gave us a sense of safety was destroyed by the occupation 🏚️

My father was injured in an airstrike, which caused him to lose his left eye, and he also suffered injuries to his legs that left him unable to move.

Since that day, our lives have completely changed, and the responsibilities have become heavier than I can carry at my age 💔

We are living through extremely difficult humanitarian conditions.

Every donation — even a small one — helps us meet basic needs and continue living with dignity 🤲

And if you’re unable to donate, sharing the link or keeping us in your prayers means just as much 🕊️

Thank you to everyone who reads this, everyone who stands with us, and every heart that hasn’t forgotten our humanity 🤍

Your support is our hope to keep going.

Hello, I hope everyone is well... Ramadan has arrived, but the suffering of the people of Gaza continues in every way... For over two years, we haven't felt anything; everything is destroyed, dreams have vanished, we've lost relatives, our homes, and our jobs. Nothing remains... And here comes Ramadan for the third time, and we are neither in our homes nor at our jobs. We lack even the most basic necessities.😔

Things are more difficult than you expect. We are not at home or at our jobs. We wish we could have these beautiful moments like before. We see food, clothes, and everything else, but we cannot buy anything because everything is expensive and we have no income. Ramadan has come and its requirements are very numerous, including suhoor and iftar.

I hope you will support me so that I can provide food for my family during Ramadan. We need $50 every day for Suhoor and Iftar. Every donation from you, no matter how small, will help us to buy food. Together we can raise the amount. 🙏😔😔

You never know which 10, 25, or 50$ will feed a fasting person, and they will pray for you. And the reward for prayers is great in the blessed month of Ramadan.🙏

keep moving forward

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

Authors have until March 30th, 2026 (That is just 9 days as of this reblog, which I am posting on March 21st, 2026) to file their claim against Anthropic to be reimbursed up to $3,000 per work found in the list.

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

I cannot view tags people left on my posts anymore unless they directly reblogged it from me. Which excludes more than half of the tags I often get on posts because things get reblogged from other blogs, tags I usually like to read. And now I cant read them.

Posts on my blog appear to have less notes to me because they do not account for notes given to the post from sources outside of me. How am I supposed to know how many notes a post got now.

Old, historic posts that used to have hundreds of thousands of notes now only show up with a couple.

If I want to read every potentially left tag I have to go visit each blog who reblogged the post to see if anyone reblogged from them with notes, and then I have to see who reblogged from them- and them- this is crazy are you kidding me? Give me all my tags and notes in one spot back please

I'm the OP. I'm making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I'm the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.

However...

If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won't see them.

If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog...as OP I won't see that. I won't see any of those notes in my activity page.

Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they're, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn't see it, doesn't get notes for it, but they're gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.

If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it's not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!' then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They'll only see my reblog. So it's possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it's been seen by that many people.

It's killing blow to the community we've built here, by someone higher up who doesn't understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.

That's what sucks.

Hello, my name is Nadin I’m from Gaza. I’m a graphic design graduate. I’m a wife. And now — I’m a mother.

I finished my design studies just before the war began. I had dreams of starting a small design studio, of making art that told stories. I used to think about colors, fonts, sketches. I used to think about the future.

Then the war came. And the future became something we tried to hold onto, moment by moment.

On October 22, 2023, I was pregnant when a missile destroyed my husband’s family home. 25 members of our family were killed — his mother, his siblings, his nieces and nephews, children. Entire branches of a family tree gone in seconds.

We were displaced twice after that. Everything we had disappeared — home, safety, routine, rest.

A few weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter. There was no crib. No stillness. No celebration.

But she came into the world quietly and beautifully. And in her eyes, I saw something I hadn’t felt in weeks: life that still wanted to grow.

Now, I spend my days holding her and trying to build a world around her that doesn’t shake with explosions.

We don’t know what comes next. There is no clear path. We are walking toward the unknown, step by step — with our daughter in our arms and hope as our guide.

🧡 How You Can Help

This is why I’m asking for support. Not for comfort — but for survival. To help care for one baby girl who entered the world after everything else collapsed.

If you can spare anything, it will help us:

Cover basic needs, so we can breathe and heal

Support a path toward even the smallest stability in a place that has none

My husband manages the donations securely through a U.S.-registered Stripe account. Everything is converted to USDT and exchanged here in Gaza. The rates are difficult — $100 becomes only 195 shekels (July 2025) — but we use every shekel carefully, with full transparency and documentation.

🎨 Sharing a Piece of Me

I want to share more than my need. Over the next few weeks, I’ll begin posting some of my graphic designs from before the war. They are pieces of who I was — and who I still am.

They may not be perfect, but they hold something real: my story before the silence, and my belief that beauty can still live alongside survival.

My name is Mosab, I’m a husband and father living in Gaza with my family during the war.

This space is where I share my story, the struggles we face, and our hope to rebuild life with dignity.

Here’s a map of my blog to help you find the most important posts and ways to support:
