gazafunds seeks to uplift stagnant or otherwise struggling fundraisers for gazans seeking evacuation or simple necessities. i know many of the images crossing your feeds today are harrowing and impossible to fathom, but those in the line of fire need your help, not your complacency. gazafunds also urges those who are able to adopt a fundraiser to amplify to do so (you can contact them via their twitter.)
DO NOT, AND I BEG OF YOU, DO NOT STAY SILENT. ISRAELI HAVE MASSACRED INNOCENT PALESTINIANS IN RAFAH, THEIR SAFE SPACE, THEIR CAMPS WHERE THEY WERE RESIDING. ITS A FUCKING MASSACRE. INNOCENT LIVES HAVE BEEN TAKEN, JUST LIKE THAT. MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN HAVE LOST THEIR LOVED ONES JUST LIKE THAT. AND IF YOURE STILL SILENT, SHAME ON YOU. SERIOUSLY.
Dance Smash x Cinema: 1/?
Li Yanchao x Li Xing | In The Mood For Love
Starting a mini series here of film-inspired dances from Dance Smash (舞蹈风暴), a cross-genre dance competition show from Hunan Satellite TV. Boasting an impressive cast of top dancers from their respective genres, the main differentiator of Dance Smash with other dance competition shows is the circular stage design, with cameras installed around it in a ring, allowing for 360° captures of the stage of moments seemingly suspended in air.
To kick things off is the In The Mood for Love inspired modern dance number (because of course Wong Karwai + two of my favorite dancers) by close friends and frequent partners Li Yanchao and Li Xing in the collaboration round of Season 2.
A lovely Gazan teacher named Dina Maliha has reached out to me to help share her campaign with you.
The Maliha family once led a humble and stable life, when everything they'd worked for was taken from them on Oct. 7th. They have faced unimaginable horror and indignity as they've been forced to evacuate from norther Gaza to the south under threat of heavy gunfire and bombing, as well as aggression from Israeli occupation forces.
They are currently raising the funds they need to evacuate their family from Gaza. Everyday that passes, their lives are all at risk, either from bombardment, or lack of food and water. Dina's mother is also chronically ill, and this difficult life they are leading is putting her at greater risk.
The Maliha family needs to raise €32,000 and the breakdown of these funds is available at the link below, where Dina's sister Nora has written more about their situation and about the Maliha siblings. They have only made €5,100 of their goal. So if you can donate, please do,and reblog/share!
You can also read more, and get updates about the situation from Dina's tumblr account @dinamaliha. Make sure to support her posts there as well.
i know i never post anything on here (except for reblogs) and my first post being a "please give me money" post isn't that nice, but i'm gonna move out of my parents toxic house and start a new life in another city in a couple of months. I'm currently jobless and struggling financially and i have no one to help me. so even just a cent is more than appreciated.
or you can ask for a commission on my art blog @yawnzzzart .
