It's dark but just a game

Quote is by Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich.

Reading this, and thinking about the current dispossession of Beit Sahur, Nur Shams, and a dozen more annexation plans by Israel in the West Bank, while simultaneously working on an essay titled "Imagining Palestine" is just so, so tough.

This is not arbitrary. This cold is not a natural disaster. These deaths, each one of them, were deliberate and calculated by Israel.

The issue is not that families in Gaza are living in tents. The issue is that Israel destroyed 92% of Gaza's homes in the span of 15 months. The issue is that Israel is continuing to block mobile homes and reconstruction materials from entering Gaza. The issue is that Israel has placed Gaza under total siege since 2007.

unfriendly and honestly hostile reminder that trump isn't invading venezuela because maduro is a dictator, or because of drug cartels. he's doing it only and exclusively because they have desirable oil reserves and no other reason. reminder that venezuela is a comparatively poor country that will never financially recover from this. reminder that venezuelans are suffering with the bombing and the air strikes. reminder that trump did it to steal from them and no one did anything. reminder that this sets a dangerous precedent and now all trump has to do to invade another country is claim they're in a dictatorship. reminder that trump is a fascist dictator.

All Amal is fundraising for is a tent. A tent. She fully knows this tent won't keep her safe or warm, but she simply needs a place she can recover after giving birth in the coming days instead of being stranded without shelter. That's all she's asking for and that's why we're trying to help her reach her target.

When I say donating and sharing is the least you can do, I truly and wholeheartedly mean it. Please do what you can and always remember that no amount is too small when we're all donating and sharing collectively.

This is a person like all of you, from Gaza, blindfolded and with his hands tied, displayed like a commodity "for sale" in a scene that encapsulates the cruelty of the occupation and its inhumanity.

Remember that his family is living out of a tent that has been torn and flooded. Think about how much more vomiting hurts, physically and psychologically, when one is struggling to stay above starvation. Think about how much more it hurts when he still shrapnel in his body from surviving a bombing.

Think about how much more disabling sickness becomes when he is already disabled from a blood disorder and constantly worrying if he can afford his next month's medication.

I am a mother collapsing under the weight of injustice… My child went into surgery for four long hours, and the doctor came out with words that have no excuse: “The operation failed.”

It wasn’t only the surgeon who failed — the whole world failed my child who was left hungry, the system failed to provide food and vitamins, and hearts were absent when he needed warmth and care.

His body is as fragile as a twig in a storm; his big eyes cling to me and I cannot return him to being a healthy child because I cannot afford the treatment that might heal him. The doctor said: “Immune therapy is the only thing that will save him” — but that treatment is far beyond my financial means.

I beg you: where can I find the money for a life? Where do I buy my child a chance to breathe?

I feel injustice devouring us: hunger, poverty, neglect… all of it allowing the slow death of an innocent child in terrible silence.

I write with the last of my heart: if there is any mercy in you, if there is any help in your hands, please save what is left of my child.

I do not ask for luxury, I do not ask for adornment — I only ask for a simple life for a soul that does not deserve this fate.

Please, before it’s too. late…

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot.

There’s not a lot of treatments, and there isn’t a single one that is for vaginismus exclusively - they’re all medications or treatments to treat symptoms, but not the causes. In fact, for a long time doctors waved off vaginismus as a purely psychological disorder in cis women.

It’s incredibly common! And it can be treated by physiotherapy.

I know this because I’m currently undergoing physio and although it can take months to recover, I’m already seeing improvement. A lot of the pelvic floor exercises are available online, but if you have these symptoms please TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR and see if you can get a physio referral (or investigation for underlying causes like endometriosis).

Also, my additions to posts never get reblogged so a note to my followers: this is SUPER IMPORTANT ISSUE that affects many people and is rarely talked about. Please reblog, and please share this info with as many people as possible.

the prices of anything in gaza are absolutely ridiculous. trying to get “aid” from the so-called “aid sites” is exceedingly dangerous because israel keeps slaughtering people waiting for food, and one of the family members was recently injured trying to get some. i’m very worried for them and i don’t want them to have to risk their lives at these horrible “aid sites.”

i know it’s overwhelming and a lot; i know there’s so much right now. but please, if you can spare even anything, even a $10 or $5 once, or a regular donation of $2 even, please do donate.

and please spread the word, even offline too or on other social media sites. i have a QR code on my pinned post that you can share!

i also have art you can buy! i would also like to make more prints of my art soon, so if there are any specific pieces of mine you’d like to see in print, let me know.

thank you for reading. please donate and share; anything helps 💖

It is with a broken heart that we have to share the worst news imaginable with the NGU community. This weekend, the IOF bombed the neighborhood of Yahya Al-Habil and his family. Little Omar, Yahya’s 7-year-old brother who we have mentioned often, was martyred.

Both Yahya and his brother Mohammed are being treated in different departments for the severe injuries they sustained from this attack, and did not get the chance to say goodbye to Omar. They now urgently need $5,000 usd to continue treatment and hopefully stabilize their critical conditions.

Please share their story and donate anything you can to their campaign- this family cannot handle another loss.

Current: $1,490 out of $5,931 usd

Need to raise: $4,441 usd
