I honestly don't know how she does it, but Mona is still managing the production and distribution of food, bread, and is distributing necessities like water, diapers, and cooking ingredients to displaced people while she herself is displaced. Yes, during a famine. She couldn't have done it without your help from the last donation drive. Donating to these mutual aid funds of groups like Mona's is indispensable help and support right now. You're making a difference. Do not hesitate to donate, every dollar counts! Thank you all for your continued support. P*ypal, Chuffed, Instagram.

(If you live in India or Pakistan and want to donate, contact her through the means listed on her account).

None of this is possible without Mona and her family's diligence and work. If you would like to send her a thank you note or well wishes, please include it in the replies to this post, in your tags, or in the comments! She always appreciates them ♡

two million people starving to death because it's geopolitically convenient and we're all expected to go about our day normally like the casual cruelty on display for the past two years has been so insane to me like i'm not even trying to make a point it's just truly something i can't wrap my mind around

Everyone I know in Gaza is messaging me saying they can't find internet anymore and are barely able to connect using esims that are running out. Please don't stop donating esims.

Support Al-Afia's Recovery

Current progress: $7,638/$60,000

This campaign has been shared by Sara (@/bsonblast).

Al-Afia is a young girl who is facing the possibility of amputation after a traffic accident left her foot with painful fractures and deformities. The only chance she has at saving her leg is seeking specialized care abroad.

The cost of flights, visas, accommodation, and medical care is exorbitant. Just a plane ticket and a medical visa costs $900 per person.

These costs are the enormous obstacle standarding between Al-Afia and her treatment. We can help her family overcome it by supporting their campaign. Your donation, no matter how small, brings Al-Afia one step closer to getting the care she needs.

Please share and donate if you can.

$7,790/50,000

Only one donation in the last week

No progress since the previous update

This is who y'all look up to? This is who y'all will close your eyes for?

if you're a follower of mine for my jonsa content and yet follow the above, or anyone who holds similarly abhorrent views, please unfollow and/or block me and my side blog @cappymightwrite.

enough is enough. this is shameful, dehumanising, genocide denying behaviour. the above claims no longer wash. the number of child amputees is enough to testify to that. reports by human rights orgs like amnesty international should be enough to testify to that. the testimony of the palestinians themselves should be enough. so many horrors over the past 20 or so months should surely be enough. the mask is fully off. unashamedly off. even fully admitted to (see below). we can't pretend that it isn't and we can't give credence to people who wish to continue spinning a delusional, face-saving fantasy in order to continue and justify a genocide and ethnic cleansing.

because it's not war, it's not self-defence, it is genocide.

Haaretz is an Is/reali publication. For unpaywalled summary:

Also, I don't know how you can watch the below (available through Zeteo too) and not feel deeply ashamed about the complicity of the West in this slaughter. I guess the trick is to turn a blind eye, right?

If you can acknowledge minita is a bigot, it shouldn't be hard to extend this to agentrouka who is far more influential in this fandom and has been going on like this for 20 months.

If personal friendships still trump separating yourself from someone with bigoted views such as genocide apologia, y'all really need to look yourself hard in the mirror and contemplate on your priorities. You’re losing ground to claim credibility.

If you did answer this poll, please take a second to stop scrolling.

If you haven't already heard Israel is still attempting to block aid going to Gaza and even threatening people over it. It is also Eid al-Adha, a holiday in which large feasts are prepared.

There are a lot of people sharing campaigns to donate money for food and other necessities for survival in Gaza. I am sharing Nader's family's campaign.

This is a small way to help make a big difference in a family's life struggling for survival under occupation. Every donation counts.

Please all of you do not ignore us and our suffering. These days are supposed to be days of great and indescribable joy. Unfortunately, today is a very sad and gloomy day and there is no food for us to eat. Please donate to us.
