you cant reclaim slurs that arent yours. if you get called the sand n-slur or prarie n-slur you CANNOT reclaim the n-slur. like. period. i dont know why this is so difficult to comprehend
now that i have your attention! mohammed ayesh (@ayeshjourney) vets campaigns on the ground for people trapped in gaza. he helps run the blog @/gaza-evacuation-funds and vets campaigns for @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein. he does an incredible amount of work to help so many people and now he and his family need our help.
mohammed has launched a gofundme campaign to help his younger brother yasser, who has a cochlear implant that needs repairing. their campaign is very low on funds. the current short-term goal is £5,000 and they have raised £2,492. please consider donating even £5 if it's within your means and please share this post! i hope we can work together to help mohammed and his family!
Please pay attention to campaigns that are set up with the goal of rebuilding lives in Gaza. Gaza is not gone. Gaza won't be a ghost town for the occupation to set up their settlements in. When you ignore campaigns that explicitly state that they aim to rebuild lives back in Gaza, you are giving credibility to those nasty beach resort ads, Isn'treal had the audacity to air. I don't want to romanticize because it is dehumanizing in itself but do you know how much hope, how much strength there is in setting up a campaign that is explicitly stating " This money is going to go to rebuilding my life back in Gaza. " Don't disrespect it in this way, don't disrespect these campaigns.
Donate to @siraj2024 at least go through his blog. Go through his fundraiser. Boost! This is tumblr, the stupidest shitposts go viral and we can't get Siraj out to the wide number of people on here?? Help him keep his hope. Help him in rebuilding his life in Gaza. 10k that is all he is asking for his short term goal. Please help. Help.
Palestinians are trying to rebuild their lives in Northern and Central Gaza as the occupation focuses its genocidal war machine on the South, particularly Rafah
music elitism is so tired like as long as you’re not blasting your genre/artist of choice from a bluetooth on the subway (i will end you btw), why would i care what you listen to
we’re all just trying to get thru the goddamn day, as well as every day for the rest of our lives… so if that’s what helps you do it, by all means

"Here are your tortured poets. All from Mahmoud Darwish to Dr. Refat Alareer to Khaled Juma, these are tortured poets. Tortured by longing for a home they can never return to, tortured by the world they were born to for BEING BORN. Palestine, home to the tortured poets department." [@/folkoftheshelf on X.

As you know, I and my mutuals frequently post about Siraj @/siraj2024, who is trying to rebuild his home in Gaza. We stress that rebuilding in Gaza and resisting ethnic cleansing is just as important as evacuating to safety. One of the things we are all fighting for is for Palestinians to have the right to return to their homes. With that, I have another campaign I'd like to bring to your attention.
Mahmoud Hamam (@ma7moudgaza2) is a web designer and college student. He and his family have been displaced by the IOF several times and now live in a tent in al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis. He cannot stay there much longer.
Here's what studying is like for him now:
Due to the recent massacres there, he has been unable to come online. He also had his previous account terminated by Tumblr, in an act of genocidal censorship. This is why we must help him.
He is only at $2,238 of $25,000, and he has been campaigning for a month as of right now. He has a long way to go but I beliveve it is possible to get him to his goal soon! We have seen people raise this amount in record time, I really do believe in all of us.
Despite all he has endured, he has not given up hope. Lets help him rebuild.
I am Mahmoud Hamam from Gaza, in the midst of destruction and bombing. I am writing to you that our morale is still high and that determination is present. After all the harsh circumstances we have been through, horrific events, but they will not destroy us, but rather they will make us stronger..

Palestinian activists get their message across on Londons iconic Tower Bridge landmark- one of the cities most historic buildings. We need a ceasefire now.
It's disturbing how a successful attack in the eyes of a Zionist depends on how many civilians have been murdered, or how many residential buildings have been destroyed.
True psychopaths.
