Some verified Gaza GFMs on Tumblr!

These gfms belong to organizers who have reached out to me and all of them are nowhere near their goals, there are a few more I'm going through right now but these are all verified. Please share and donate to help these families.

@ahmadturk00 is a verified gfm! Mohammed Skaik is raising funds for his cousin and their family to evacuate Gaza - Ahmad Al Turk's family is made up of seven people and are currently living in a tent - they are a newer gfm and need urgent support. (€1,332/ €70,000 - 4/30/2024)

@hlabarka is also a newer GFM but has been completely verified, she is raising the funds to evacuate with her three-year-old daughter and her husband from Gaza and into Egypt, she and her family have been forced to relocate in Gaza seven times. ($1,112/ $50,000 - 4/30/2024)

@maisonhijazi is organizing for Hamdi, a father in Gaza who is trying to evacuate his children to safety - they just had a baby girl while displaced in Gaza. Please help him get the funds he needs to evacuate his family to Egypt. ($6,852/$25,000 - 4/30/2024)

@mohammedfamily87  Tareq Abu Obaid is organizing for his friend Mohammad Mousa, Mohammed is trying to evacuate his three children and his wife - his house was airstriked back in October, and has lost several members of his family already. (€170/€80,000 - 4/30/2024)

@ahmednabubaker is organizing for Yusuf, an eight-year-old boy who is being threatened with kidney failure, and Yusuf's family - this campaign is for Yusuf and his family to be evacuated to Egypt so Yusuf can be treated and receive a kidney transplant. This is extremely urgent. (€1,489/€85,000 - 4/30/2023)

For a longer list of GFMs that have been individually verified, @el-shab-hussein has a huge masterlist of GFMs to check out and support

protests have literally made it to antartica

"All I do know is as we age, the weight of our unsorted baggage becomes heavier. With each passing year, the price of our refusal to do that sorting rises higher and higher...Long ago, the defenses I built to withstand the stress of my childhood, to save what I had of myself, outlived their usefulness, and I've become an abuser of their once lifesaving powers. I relied on them wrongly to isolate myself, seal my alienation, cut me off from life, control others, and contain my emotions to a damaging degree. Now the bill collector is knocking, and his payment'll be in tears."

- Bruce Springsteen

hi hello this is your reminder that google are hypocrites(and bds)

the lay offs were on the 18th this month, pretending to celebrate a native culture as you help the military that is actively ethnically cleansing them, and has been for years, is highly hypocritical and just an attempt to save face

in case someone forgot, google is on BDS' "pressure" list, which means it isn't necessary a 100% boycott but rather a target for pressuring and limiting your use of their services to push them towards cutting ties with israel

additional context on dabka:

it is a folk dance from levantine countries like lebanon, jordan, syria, and palestine. with possible origins in ancient phoenician and/or canaanite cultures

IT IS IN YOUR SELF-INTEREST after Robert Wood Lynn 

no one really wakes up and thinks today is the day I am going to be clever but you wake up today and it’s really fucking close because today is the day you resolve to stop screaming names into pillows and today is the day you will dress nice but not too nice and today is the day you will paste the Jenny Holzer Truisms behind your eyes and scream Protect Me From What I Want and not I Need To Lie Front To Back With Someone Who Adores Me ‘cause anyway you don’t need that shit and today is the day you will go to the party with the nicest smile on your face the I Know Who I Am And I’ll Tell You Only If You Ask smile not the Please God Touch Me Here And Here And Here smile and certainly not the Please God I Am Trying So Fucking Hard To Be Tender smile and you’re gonna wear your prettiest chain and brush your teeth just enough and resolve to be clever and you’re gonna laugh when it’s right laugh just enough not the I Am In Love With An Entire World That Does Not Love Me Back laugh and anyway who needs the world right and the nice thing is that it’s loud and when it’s loud you can lean in close to the girl who keeps tucking back your hair and tell her to repeat whatever she just said and good God isn’t this world so fucking ordinary when you’re being clever don’t the colors make sense and you don’t need the vibrancy that sears itself behind your eyelids and gives you migraines ‘cause baby you’re all protected and you won’t even need to have some warm body next to you tonight to quiet the noise and turn away since no one wants to pull you from it anyway and it’s working at your throat and it’s a lovely battering ram on your chest and suddenly there’s a way to how the boy at karaoke is singing ABBA off-key and suddenly you can see that the girl who has a hand cupped around the shell of your ear has a chipped tooth and suddenly you need to scream a name and Jesus fuck here’s your smile escaping and your laugh like a gunshot and the whole party like a late spring blossom and good luck trying to be beautiful when everything else is good God try to wake up and be clever next time 

#everyone go here forever
