Hello everyone, Iām Osama Basil, a web developer from Gaza. The ongoing war hasnāt just destroyed my officeāit has shattered my livelihood and crushed my dreams, leaving my family in an extremely difficult situation. Yet, despite these overwhelming challenges, I refuse to surrender and remain fiercely determined to push forward.
š” Why I Need Your Help
Iām aiming to raise ā¬15,000 to rebuild my office, install a solar energy system, and secure stable internet accessāwhich are crucial for my work as a freelance web developer, since there has been no electricity in Gaza for over a YEAR!!āand pursue a masterās degree.
This support will allow me to continue working, meet my essential needs, and provide for my family in the face of the overwhelming cost of living in Gaza, where the closure of crossings and severe shortages of goods have made survival even more difficult. With this help, we can begin to rebuild our lives and regain a sense of stability during these incredibly challenging times.
Every donation, no matter how small, means the world to us. Iāve shared more details in the campaign link below. Your kindness will truly make a difference.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Together, we can turn this challenge into hope āØā¤ļø

i've seen posts like these get a lot of traction because everyone loves a poll, so i'd like to use this poll as an opportunity to spread word about Maryam's campaign
Maryam is the only able-bodied person in her family. Her husband's illnesses he's suffered as a result of being shot by the IOF are getting worse, and they have no money for treatment. She has multiple toddler children and is also taking care of her brother's orphaned children. Maryam has lost her brother and her father because they were killed by the IOF.
Everyday, Maryam must walk for miles through bombings, suffering, heat, cold, rain, and so many dangerous areas just to even look for food and water for her family. And now, she walks to look for internet so she can come online and beg for help from us. Please, if you participate in this poll, share Maryam's story and donate to her.
As of October 13th, 2024: ā¬10,874 raised of ā¬65,000 goal
You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.
There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.
Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.
PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.
Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)
The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.
there's something very scary about the way we argue and entertain discourse on israel or on settler colonialism when, on the ground, israel has totally isolated northern gaza and is currently systemically liquidating jabalia (a refugee camp in northern gaza) just as they have, from the very beginning, said they would do. just as large swathes of israel came to be in 1948, to 1967, to the west bank today. there's something scary about watching indigenous people undergo a genocide in real-time in 2024 like they're squatters on some prime property while nobody moves except to argue about semantics. there's something scary about people being trapped and killed like fish in a barrel while you can text them and follow them on social media and watch their pleas in video as soldiers and tanks come closer. what the hell is this

hereās the link for the lebanese red cross ^^ any donation helps
Now that I have your attention:
tweet 1: "happy international lesbian day, if you use the orange and pink flag i designed and have a few bucks to spare i would really appreciate any help at all"
tweet 2: "ive been skipping meals to afford to see a specialist so even $1 helps. i have no family to ask for help."
This international lesbian day I hope some support can be extended to Emily Gwen. The flag they have made has been used by many corporations and they do not receive any money made from those sales. They are also dealing with housing insecurity and have many financial problems
their ko-fi:
To all my American friends, the time is now.
Please, execute a BOMBARDMENT. Call your representatives!
A reminder that Jazwares CEO - the company behind toy brands like Kellytoy, Squishmallows, Bum Bumz, Hello Kitty, Pokemon (in North America), Nerf, and many others - is a staunch supporter of Israel, with half of their recent intern cohort from Reichman University being called back to fight in the IOF. Not only this, but he and his wife Laura are working with the organization known as Brothers For Life that gives aid to Israeli soldiers, as well as supporting the infamous Canary Mission, which is responsible for doxxing pro-Palestinian students.
Buying new Jazwares products is going towards a CEO who supports genocide, please continue to boycott Jazwares brands and seek out alternative brands or strictly buy from secondhand sources when looking for new gifts for yourself or your loved ones. Do not continue to put money in Jazwares's pockets.

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.
there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.
a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.
please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), emergency unity fund, southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,

This is for the support of Gaza's Municipality Services - which help ensure clean drinking water, waste collection, debri removal and sanitation services - life saving services to run a state - reader I imagine wherever you are or how lacking the municipality services in your city is, it's not worse than Ghazza.
Currently it's only at 11% - please donate -
$3,064/$30,000
This campaign was started by @/atute_insp on tiktok and her team Mutual Aim to collect money for the DRC, Sudan, and Tigray. The donations will be divided between the three causes. If you would like do donate but don't have the funds to donate to multiple campaigns, this is a great way to help both the Congo, Sudan, and Tigray.

Unique vintage male names, companion to this post:
There are less of them because people seemed to be less creative with naming their sons. Not sure why.
Since you guys like my male name list, here are some vintage girlās names from old historic documents, recently updated:
(Sorry I listed the name origin/individualās place of birth on some and not others.)
thereās an online mobilisation effort called āblockout 2024ā, where people are en masse blocking influencers/celebrities who have been silent so far on palestine to make them lose followers and income. and itās been making celebrities and streamers start posting links to gofundmes and the PCRF, which is great. But after 7 months of silence, I simply canāt look at many of these creators the same way, and the idea that these people with so much wealth and influence only started caring when something materially forced their hand and affected their social standing should disgust you too.
so accept the meager good these people are doing by posting links, but remind yourself that all of them couldāve been talking about palestine this whole time. sharing resources is truly the bare minimum. remind yourself that your faves arenāt exempt from the criticism attached to attending the met gala because theyāre your faves. and never forget how many lives they couldāve saved if they spoke up sooner, and bothered to put any of their own money on the line.
