Palestine Flag Greeting Cards to Help Dina’s Family!
I am going to do a small fundraising campaign to help my dear friend Dina get closer to her goal! If you donate $15 CAD (or more) to Dina’s gofundme, I will send you a greeting card with the beautiful medieval style Palestine flag design drawn by my wonderful friend Miles @werewolf-transgenderism 🤍
I had gotten a ton of these cards from Miles’ Inprnt for a fundraising campaign I was going to do to honour my sister in July, but as you may know by now, that did not end up happening. These cards should not go to waste and I want to something to help Dina.
I will ship them anywhere! And I will write you a fun note in them :)
To receive one:
Donate at least $15 CAD to Dina (be sure to screenshot your proof of donation)
Fill out this google form
I have 100 cards available, so if I get to mail out all of them it will mean $1,500 CAD is raised for Dina!
"First, I would like to thank everyone who supported me.🙏🌹
I Samer Abu Ras, am reaching out to you with a heartfelt humanitarian appeal, after the ongoing war in Gaza has cast its dark shadow over my life and the lives of my family. Our lives were once filled with peace and stability before the onset of this catastrophe, but now, we find ourselves living in a situation described as nothing short of tragic.
10$ = 100 SEK
50$= 500 SEK
100$= 1000 SEK
200$= 2000 SEK
My wife, Shurooq, our three children, and I are now homeless, without a source of income, and without hope for the future. My family and I have lost our businesses and our home due to the war, and we now have nothing left but the cold streets and troubled hearts.
My children are suffering greatly as a result of these horrific events. They have lost the security and stability they once enjoyed and are now facing new health and psychological challenges that threaten their lives. As a father and husband, I feel powerless in my ability to provide adequate protection and care for them.
My child, who is a year and a half old, is experiencing hardships far beyond his tender age. Since the war broke out, we had to flee our home and seek refuge in a tent in a displacement camp. My child lives in extremely difficult conditions, deprived of safety and stability. The tent does not provide adequate protection from harsh weather, and food and medicine are scarce. My child suffers from malnutrition and illness, lacking basic healthcare. He cannot play or grow in a healthy and suitable environment. My only dream is to see him grow up in a safe place full of opportunities
In the face of difficult circumstances, Samer Abu Ras and his family find themselves facing serious challenges in their daily lives. They reside in a modest tent lacking comfort and security, suffering from a shortage of clean water and food, and encountering difficulties in accessing necessary healthcare. Despite these challenges, they continue to express hope and resilience in confronting adversity, holding onto hope for a better tomorrow and a return to a more stable and secure life.
I appeal to you today, dear friends, to extend to me a helping hand in escaping this hell. Regardless of the size of the donation, every drop of generosity will contribute to alleviating our suffering and rebuilding our lives anew.
We need your help to secure the funds necessary to travel away from these destructive wars and seek a safe and stable environment where we can build a better future for our children
Let us stand together in these difficult times and let hope triumph over despair by providing support and assistance to those in dire need. Let us be part of the solution and build a better future for ourselves and future generations.
Thank you for listening and for the potential generosity of your giving, and for your generous donations that will change the lives of my family for the better.
With sincere gratitude and appreciation
Samer Abu Ras and family.
I love background designs, esp the cannibals and angels
Hi everyone, wanted to boost Ahmed's fundraiser which has reached 85% of the goal (thanks to all who donated and shared thus far 🩷)!!
However, we still have a ways to go - as of now, we are less than €15k away from reaching the goal of €100k! We are closer than ever before, but we still need that final push to ensure that this family has what they need to endure the ongoing genocide until they are able to reach safety.
Ahmed is a loving and protective father and husband. He has 4 kids that need food, warm clothes, and shelter: Zeina (7 y/o), Eileen (6), Yamen (4) and Ronza (born in June 2024, so only a couple months old!!!)! Give this family hope for a better future and a better chance at accessing much needed goods, especially during this harsh winter. Help ease some of this immense burden that no person should ever have to face.

PARIS, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Afghan female athlete Manizha Talash, a member of the refugee Olympic team at the Paris Games, displayed the words "Free Afghan Women" on her cape during her breaking routine in the competition's pre-qualifiers on Friday.
Political slogans and statements are banned on the field of play and on podiums at the Olympics, meaning Talash could face a potential sanction.

If by some miracle sweet potato Hitler doesn't win come the end of the week, this won't be necessary, but should he win here are some of the first things to be aware of or do.
If you know a trans person, no you don't. Respect them as best you can in private but you know nothing in public.
Be aware that TikTok will likely be banned, find new platforms to spread information. Fuck Twitter and what ever tiktok replacement he's working on.
Learn to Garden, even in winter so you can feed yourself should prices skyrocket
Get an air purifier. The Clean Air Act is likely to be stripped of its power with the EPA deregulated, air quality is going to suffer
Should you have kids, try to supplement history/social studies education. That's the first place they will attack, if you need help ask, history teacher will help
Try and do what you can to be aware of your health before January.
Help one another. That's the best way we can move forward and make change in the future.
Trying something new; we'll see how it goes.
I'm opening up special commissions for anyone who donates to the fundraisers on my pinned list.
I'll draw a bust portrait of any character you like, whether they're from a fandom or whether they're an OC (though you'll need to send reference material for the latter). If you'd like one, here's what to do:
Step 1: Post a screenshot of your donation.
Step 2: Include a link to the campaign.
Step 3: Tag me @mauesartetc and elaborate on your request.
The crux of this approach is to spread the links around where people can actually see them, so whichever campaigns you donate to can gain more traction (and once I create the portrait and post it, I'll include a link to that campaign as well). This is a targeted effort designed to help a small number of fundraisers reach their goals fast, and once they do, I'll add more to the list.
As always: If you can't donate, reblog.
Dear friends,
I write to you today with a heavy heart, as life in Gaza becomes more difficult with each passing day. The ongoing war has shattered our lives, and every day presents new struggles that feel almost impossible to overcome.
One of the greatest challenges we face is the constant lack of electricity. It's something we’ve come to live with, and it leaves us in darkness for most of the day. The simplest tasks, like charging our phones or filling up water, have become increasingly difficult.
Water, a basic necessity, is only available to us for a few hours once a week. We spend long hours each week trying to fill as many containers as possible to last through the days. The challenge of living without reliable access to water is hard to describe, but it’s a reality we are facing every single day.
In addition to this, the cost of everything has skyrocketed. Basic food, medicine, and necessities are now out of reach for many families. Prices have become unaffordable, and it is getting harder to make ends meet.
In the face of these challenges, we’ve come to realize that we need a source of sustainable energy to get through the darkness and manage our daily needs. We’re raising funds to purchase solar panels that will cost around $3,500 USD. These panels will allow us to charge our phones, provide light during the endless hours of darkness, and most importantly, help us manage our water supply more effectively.
The solar panels will make a huge difference in our daily lives. They will allow us to survive with more dignity, giving us the ability to stay connected, fill our water containers, and provide some relief in this challenging situation.
If you are able to help in any way—whether through a financial contribution or by sharing this post with others—it would mean the world to us. Your support will make a real and lasting difference.
To those of you who have already stepped in to help, we want to express our deepest gratitude. Your kindness, generosity, and commitment are something we will never forget. You have been a light in our darkest times, and we are so grateful for your support.
Together, we can make it through. Thank you for standing with us.
With heartfelt thanks,

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.
I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.
Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔
And I'm now waiting to be Vetted by @gazavetters 🙏
The obnoxious owl strutted about beside his "impish plaything". Blitzø looked in the rear view mirror and said "oh shit, isn't that your bitch-ass fucking ex-wife?". Stolas turned to see that trailing behind the small pride parade was none other than Stella, wrapped in a lesbian flag. Stolas immediately started crying, "why is that meeanie here!?". After everyone consoled Stolas because he's the only one that matters, he approached his ex. Octavia tried to hug her mom, but stolas pushed her away.
"What are you here for? To torture me some more?" asked Stolas, whom was crying yet again. Stella looked at him, bewildered. "Are you serious? You think I'm in a pride parade to bother YOU? I'm here because I'm gay!" She huffed, trying to shove past the self centred cry baby. "Noooo! I'm the gay one! You're a homophobic straight woman" Stolas whined. Stella had had it with this guy. "You think you're the only gay person to be forced into a shitty, empty, straight marriage?? I've had to hide who I am just as much as you have! Where's MY sympathy? Where's MY song?" She shouted. The whole parade was watching in awkward silence.
Octavia succefully re-approached the pair, and hugged Stella tightly. "Oh mum, I'm so sorry. It must be so painful for you. Come up front with me. Let's be proud of who we are together". She said. Stella beamed at her daughter and walked away without another look at stolas. "But lesbians aren't important!" Stolas started crying. Suddenly, right as Stolas was going to break out into a whiny song, he was trampled by a horse. The rider of the horse held a huge nonbinary flag. Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie gasp as the nonbinary rider is none other than Striker. He slows the horse just for a moment and says, "fuck you all for not including nonbinary people" and rode off into the sunset, the beautiful flag trailing behind him.
Lmao I'm sorry I'm not a writer but I thought this was funny. I also read a post about, like, what if Stella is a lesbian/Sapphic? And I just HAD to make this happen.
