instead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism

Donate to restore the lives of the Baalousha family
Hello my dears, I hope you are well. Please help me
I, Mahmoud Baalousha, have lived through five wars in my life, and in the 2006 war, the biggest shock in my life was the loss of my older brother, Muhammad...
I will tell you a little about my life
I had ambition and a bright future. I loved life and living in stability and security, and I loved working hard in my future...
I had a few days to go and I was about to start a new life and look for a suitable woman to marry.
I had achieved some things that I had dreamed of since October 7, which was buying a house, but the war destroyed my dreams and ambitions.
I had a nice exhibition related to children's and women's shoe sales
The exhibition was destroyed by incendiary shells fired by the occupation
I had accumulated debts and obligations to the merchants, and the fair was full of goods ..
And my father also had this happen to him in his exhibition
This destruction has caused us to lose our sources of livelihood and the livelihood of the workers who work in both exhibitions ..
* The war took everything from me
I lost my pets in our house
All I hope for now is to reunite my family in Egypt and save them from the disastrous situation in which they are living ..
Directed by my father, mother, and sister, who is studying engineering at Al-Azhar University ...
Knowing that the cost per person now is $5,000 per adult. Price may fluctuate. I ask you to help us by donating even the simplest things or by participating in our campaign. We will be grateful to you
Your donation may give us hope to achieve what we aspired to, and restore a little of the loss and devastation that befell us. ..
Thank you for listening to my humble message
Hello everyone
🇵🇸🍉❤️🤍💚🖤🍉🇵🇸From the bottom of my heart, thank you!🙌🏼❤️
With your precious support and big hearts, we were able to reach $1,000. Every dollar of this money means a lot to us, it helps us meet our basic needs and gives us a glimmer of hope in these difficult times.🥺
My second goal is to reach $5,000. We are still suffering from the effects of war and the loss of everything, as well as from the lack of capabilities and high prices. This amount is not just a number, but a real opportunity to rebuild our lives and put a smile back on my parents' faces.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing by us. Together, we can get through this and build a better future for my family.🙌🏼❤️
Every contribution, no matter how small, is a ray of hope that lights our way. We believe that with you, we can achieve this dream, step by step.❤️💚🤍🖤

I want to make sure everyone actually understands the severity of this.
When we say that 1.4 million people in Rafah have nowhere to go we are also talking about how Israel had taken over Rafah crossing, which is the sole access point for Gazans, preventing the movement of people and goods as a result.
For the past 7 months you've heard of famine and witnessed infants dying of severe dehydration. This is only going to exacerbate now that the only source of the already scarce resources of food and water is completely shut down.
For the past 7 months you have seen how many people Israel's weapons have severely injured and maimed and how the only remaining cancer hospital was also taken over by Israel. The situation of these people who are injured and sick is only going to get worse because despite them obtaining permits to leave Gaza for treatment, there is no way out anymore.
For the past 7 months you have seen countless people crowdfunding to evacuate their families and flee genocide. None of these efforts are going to go anywhere and no one would be allowed out of Gaza for the foreseeable future, while Israel goes on with its barbaric mission of attempting to annihilate the people of Gaza.
Absolutely no access. Everyone is trapped. Nowhere to go.

Hey y'all I have been struggling immensely the past 6 months since losing my last job that had been up until then been going well. ON top of financial stress I am dealing with a plethora of medical issues some from stress some outside that. Rejection after rejection from jobs is incredibly demotivating and I'm struggling to remain hopeful. I need help to make sure i can cover my car and electric payments, and should I continue to receive rejections from jobs, rent. All of this too on top of needing food and gas for necessary travel as well. I know many have seen my dono post go around in the past but I'm sorry to say I still need a hand. Anything helps massively. Thank you for sharing and reading 'w`
My tentative goal (will vary should I get a job as I dont want to continue to accept donations once Im work stable + in case of unexpected emergencies) is $1600 by July 1st 2024. I need at least $600 of that by June 20th if possible, I know Im asking late but I didnt want to ask at all because I'm scared of the backlash. Thanks again for any support
$0/$1600 June 17, 2024
Buttons $3 CAD / Toque $35 CAD / Patch $15 CAD
I am going to markets in summer to sell my artwork - but also 4 other confirmed artists' artwork at pride festivals. I'm building a queer artist collective and we want to bring queer-created pride merchandise to local markets. We want to directly benefit our local community. I want to provide pride merchandise where the profit goes towards other queer people.
The other artists' work isn't up on our site yet but it will be available at the markets.
Buttons $3 CAD / Holo sticker $7 CAD
Why:
-I got a microloan for this, but last second my guy had to halve the loan amount. He said he could cover my transport + the requested amount to cover all expenses, but then he had to change it to just the requested amount, last second. I accept the help that was given and am thankful for that. He had other businesses that also needed help.
-My employer ghosted me - long story short. I showed up to work multiple times to find the business closed without any communication whatsoever. BUT they are also a queer small business owner. I will not be seeking anything from them, nor will I go into any more detail about where I was working. Yes it sucks for me and yes it sucks for everyone else affected, but infighting is not worth it, and I want them to do well.
Boot patches $25 CAD / Stickers $5 CAD / OG paintings $500 CAD
What is the money going towards?
Gas money. Food money. One more table for the market, button making supplies, trans boot stickers restock. Emergency cash.
