i am a wild beast i am not meant to be trapped within these walls
am I suffering beautifully?
is my agony lovable?
yippee!! dragons!!
i forgot to color the seawing’s gills, oops lmao
i’ve been thinking about innocuous photos like the one on the left. because it is my job to neglect the sprouts of imperialism and racism that accompanied my upbringing, i've been attempting to find solidarity even in the innocuous. and how easily it comes: marah and i, both schoolgirls who like cute things, both compelled by the desire to photograph our supplies after arranging them to be just-so. the photo on the right is an old one of mine.
if you were to ask yourself:
i think the answer would be “everything.” maybe you’re united by the love you have for your pets, being fans of the same goth rock band, or the fact that, were something of severity to happen to your family, you’d also be online, asking for help in a way your elders might find it hard to wrap their heads around, and making sure people knew they could trust your campaign.
and if this were a message you were sending, i hope that your hope would remain in tact, because people like us, on the other end, would be doing everything they could to help you.
great question. while a lot of these gofundmes started to fund evacuations, since the border will not open they have shifted to covering the costs of daily survival in gaza
the cost of food alone in gaza right now has been reported by journalists on the ground (including @siraj2024) to be 20 times the normal price.
and it varies based on location. the north is currently being starved by the IOF so food prices are higher
and there is a lot of evidence on tumblr that proves that these fundraisers do help
@ma7moudgaza2 was able to buy a tent for his family and is currently trying to pay for a solar panel
@siraj2024 was able to secure rent for a (bombed out, but still) apartment for his family over the winter
@mohdiwais was able to fund medical care for his sister after she was shot by the IOF using funds he raised on tumblr
a gaza-based charity called care for gaza has also been directly assisting families with funds used from their gofundme. they even post videos of themselves giving out food
and those are just a few examples. hope this helped!
they didnt give me a penis because i would be so good at having boners i would literally win every boner compatition and thats why they were tooooo scared
