From the Freedom Flotilla, April 27 2024:
On Thursday afternoon, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition was contacted by the Guinea Bissau International Ships Registry (GBISR), requesting an inspection of our lead ship – Akdenez. This was a highly unusual request as our ship had already passed all required inspections; nevertheless, we agreed. The inspector arrived on Thursday evening. On Friday afternoon, before the inspection was completed, the GBISR, in a blatantly political move, informed the Freedom Flotilla Coalition that it had withdrawn the Guinea Bissau flag from two of the Freedom Flotilla’s ships, one of which is our cargo ship, already loaded with over 5000 tons of life-saving aid for the Palestinians of Gaza. In its communication informing us of this cancelation, the GBISR made specific reference to our planned mission to Gaza. It also made several extraordinary requests for information, including confirmation of the ships’ destination, any potential additional port calls, and the discharge port for humanitarian aid and estimated arrival dates and times. It further demanded a formal letter explicitly approving the transportation of humanitarian aid and a complete manifest of the cargo. Again, this is a highly unusual move from a flagging authority. Normally, national flagging authorities concern themselves only with safety and related standards on vessels bearing their flag, and are not concerned with the destination, route, cargo manifests or the nature of a specific voyage. Just like when you register your car, the authorities don’t require you to detail to them every place you are going to go with the car. Sadly, Guinea-Bissau has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate starvation, illegal siege and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International Humanitarian Law, UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice. [...] without a flag, we cannot sail. But, this is not the end. Israel cannot and will not crush our resolve to break its illegal siege and reach the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza and all of Palestine remain steadfast under the most horrific, unimaginable conditions. We take strength from their incredible, inexplicable ability to maintain their humanity, dignity and hope when the world has given them no reason to do so. It is our responsibility to keep that hope alive. WE WILL SAIL.
The Freedom Flotilla, which was set to depart from Turkey on the 27th of April with 5000 tons of life-saving aid, has now been delayed because Israel and the United States has pressured Guinea Bissau to withdraw its flag from the Flotilla's lead ship.
Seeing as how their tactics worked on Guinea Bissau, organizers now fear that Israel and the US will exert the same pressure on whichever country the Freedom Flotilla attempt to register their ship under next.
To help the Freedom Flotilla reach Gaza, please keep an eye out for further updates from the organizers. Right now, as of April 27th, they're asking people to help boost their visibility, and to donate to their member campaigns.
For more info, see their webpage.

cfhghgh bro/gender neutral. The GGG mascots have names! :) Gabriella is the blonde one, Gwen is the black/dark blue/purple-haired one, and Grace is the black girl with the afro. - ⭐
Oh sorry, I forgot to include that! I actually think it's pretty interesting that not only does it seem Maisie (the LG girl with pink hair for anyone unfamiliar) have the same hair color Grace used to have before it was changed to brown, but Grace is also one of the in-canon names of the LaceyGames creators (who also has pink hair)!
Also for anyone unaware of what the names are for the LaceyGames characters, left to right in the pic I posted they're Maisie, Grace, and Jay! I highly recommend checking out the series' videos, but MAJOR cw for some heavy topics

Okay not exactly doll related, but has anyone thought to draw the GirlsGoGames mascots in the style of LaceyGames?

C'mon don't be losers, instead of doing Watcher subscription giveaways just literally buy esims for Gaza or donate to non-profit charities like Care for Gaza, which actually help affected Palestinians and deliver food and other necessities to them. There's also a bunch for Sudan like the one set up by the ICRC. Don't give $6 just for a man to eat expensive shit on camera when that $6 can do so much for an entire nation of starving people.

Since my birthday post died down I am posting this again, as these two women still need to get their families out of Gaza:
Rawda and Enas are single mothers with children who are stranded, unable to cross the border, without medical supplies, food, and proper shelter.
These fundraisers are being organized by Maha Saymeh and Dina Zaazaa, Canadian family members of Rawda and Enas, who are currently working to get them out of Gaza. Both were found under the Gaza Evacuation Fund Relief Fund page, which was verified by the Ottawa4Palestine team.
Here is Maha Saymeh's Instragram page.
Dina Zaazaa is an elementary school teacher in Ontario (x).
Both fundraisers have still have a long way to go before they reach their goal, so please reblog if you see this, and d0n@te if you can, even if it's just a dollar or two.

I will be joining Ibtisam on her hunger strike!!
Because this is my first ever hunger strike, and because I still have to commute/study/attend to other responsibilities, I’m tentatively shooting for a sponsored 5-day strike (for now). 
To sponsor my hunger strike, you can donate any amount you want to Anera (Anera has a minimum of 5 dollars, but that is the only stipulation—otherwise how much you donate is up to you). Please send proof of your donation to my inbox (with the date on it, just so I can verify that the donation came in light of this post). Feel free to omit private information. If we reach a threshold of 250 dollars in donations to Anera, I will be starting my strike on May 1!! 
I’ll follow the same guidelines in Ibtisam’s post—but I’ll essentially just stop eating for 5 days. It’s been incredibly hard seeing the children of Gaza suffer through this horrific famine, while people like me continue to have the luxury of food and security, so this form of protest means a lot to me. Thank you Ibtisam for coming up w such a wonderful idea 🤍 you continue to amaze me with the depth of your kindness & compassion
Please spread this so more people can donate/participate in Ibtisam’s strike if they’d be able to!!

Update: North Gaza Aid!
As part of his promise, Hussam sent 20% of your HelpGazaChildren donations ($4000) to Mahmoud AbuSalama for the 5th time now, including the earlier North Gaza Campaign (as location on our notion site) to buy food and necessary products for families still surviving the dire situation in North Gaza. The food package contains, as you see in the picture below: flour, lentils, canned food, formula, diapers, and women pads!
Please continue donating and spreading the word — every penny means so much! Feel free to share our campaign link to other platforms as well!
Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam, who manages camps in Rafah, with NO middleman in between!
HelpGazaChildren Notion Site || #helpgazachildren tag

[Quick ID: The video is of Mahmoud speaking in front of bags of flour and a tumblr sign. There are captions to the video in english. The image below is of groups of packages of items in front of a tumblr sign.]
