I'm making this post to help spread the campaigns for four sisters currently in the Gaza Strip, and their efforts to escape.
Update added to the bottom of this post.
The women in question are a business owner with two young daughters, an educator, an internship MD, and a photographer. They've each started respective campaigns in an effort to help their parts of their families.
You can also follow their instagram accounts: @asiafmostfa (Asia), @nusaibafmust (Nusaiba), @queen_gazal_gal (Sumya), and @asma_fawzy_photographer (Asma). They've made posts showcasing the condition of their displaced lives in Rafah right now.
Update
Ibrahim Fawzi (@ibrahim_fawzi_mostafa), at request of his aforementioned sister Asia, and with the help of Dylan McGlone in the US has also started a campaign. Please share this version instead.
Associated Art Fundraiser
Dylan also has an Crochet Fundraiser, where you can receive a Crochet Key in exchange for proof of support for one of these campaigns. You can contact them on Instagram via @__dylan__28 to ask any questions you might have beforehand.
im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary
Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.
Saw this on Twitter and some of you bitches need to read this 🤨
What’s even more frustrating is that I know y’all just gonna ignore this because tumblr is a very white dominated space and some of you don’t think you need to do any introspection at all because you think you’ve done the work already. But I am tired of y’all never centering or uplifting studs in lesbian spaces. They’re not the shadow of the rest of y’all. I’m pretty sure there’s like 2 Black lesbians, and like 6 Black sapphics on here (me included) and I have made the observation that y’all don’t really make it apparent to include us in sapphic spaces. We don’t get tagged to participate in games or selfie threads, we don’t get reblogged enough or y’all never reblog pictures of Black lesbians or Black sapphic couples because y’all don’t see us as the beauty standard, we get talked over in group settings, we get ignored when trying to make friends with y’all (I have noticed that white femmes tend to acknowledge me more than white butches tho) and it feels very isolating and ostracizing to see us as an afterthought and I genuinely think that’s why there’s hardly any Black lesbians on here or Black sapphics in general. Cus they don’t feel appreciated, seen or centered on here. Y’all treat us like an extension of y’all that’s not worth paying attention to. But the point is, is that studs and Black femmes have rich, beautiful experiences and we’re not the “Black version” of anything.
