Hello everyone, I have another campaign to share.
Falestine is married and has a 3 month old baby, and cannot afford to even give him diapers and milk.
She was made to give birth during this onslaught, and immediately moved from the hospital to a tent. Her home was bulldozed by the occupation, leaving her and her family displaced. The tent where they live is horribly unhygienic and plagued with disease; they are next to a public toilet and surrounded by dirt and waste.
Her mother is chronically ill, and her father tragically suffered a stroke. They currently have no way to treat her illness.
In order to evacuate and provide basic necessities for Falestine's family, this campaign needs to raise $40,000 USD. Currently, they've raised $15,172; A great amount, but not enough.
Please help Falestine and her family. Donate if you're able to, and share the campaign. No one deserves be forced to live through these horrible conditions.
(I was informed by someone that the spreadsheet number leads to someone who may be unrelated. I apologize for this mistake and I ask for you all to reblog this version)
You ever think about the MOVE bombing and then think about the fact that so few US Americans even know that the MOVE bombing like. Happened.
Shout out to people whose disability makes their health worse in indirect ways.

All fundraisers on https://gazafunds.com/ are vetted and verified to be from Palestinians. The algorithm has been suppressing and shadow-banning a lot of fundraisers from Palestinians in Gaza, and these people are reaching out to us for the ability to be able to survive. Food and other daily living needs are costly and limited (even starting since the 2007 blockade on the Gaza Strip, and especially worsened in the last year) and living conditions continue to get worse in the Gaza Strip as we head into winter again.
This website brings up a random campaign to spotlight; please donate, if you can, to the first one you see! A lot of people donating a little bit adds up. Please remember currency exchange rates.
Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:
Not all Men are evil
Everyone has the capacity for evil
Transgender Men are men
Transgender Women are women
Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)
Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement
Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators
Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"
one consequence of transmisogyny (but not unique to it) is that it makes you into a paranoiac. take the example of the "degendering they" or like the "backhanded compliment," relatively minor interpersonal interactions that trans women increasingly feel hypervigilant about. it's probably counterproductive to assume everyone who gives you a compliment or refers to you as "they" or "this person" (<- phrase that actually revolts me a little now in this context) is doing so condescendingly, in a malicious or even just incidentally diminishing way. but also, everything about your life as a trans woman encourages you to be on alert for these kinds of cues, because if you're not paying attention to them then when the hammer drops it will hit that much harder.
