The Shadow The West, by Edward Said. (1986)

Edward Said focuses on the plight of the Palestinians which can be seen as the most enduring residue of the modern encounter between the Arabs and the West. Said traces the course of European involvement with the Near East via the Crusades to Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt and the French and English entrepreneurs, adventurers and empire builders who came in his wake.

From Memories to Rubble: A Plea for Support in Rebuilding Our Lives

It pains me every time I look back at the photos and see my home reduced to rubble. What will bring back our beautiful memories, our laughter echoing in every corner of the house? This home used to shelter 15 family members, filled with love and affection. Oh, my heart can't bear it.

Please support us, I beg of you, so that we may start a new life outside Gaza.

I'm making a new donation post since my last one is out of date, and I now have to worry about this month's payments

hi! I'm samira, your local brown lesbian, and I'm broke

I had to quit my job to devote my time to a PTSD recovery program, so I'm trying to get by on disability while also paying off debt and putting money aside to hopefully move out of an unhealthy living situation

long story short, I could really use some help

I owe my bank 560 CAD in payments on my debt, so paying that off is my immediate priority right now

if anyone can help me out, my paypal link is here, or you can dm me for my etransfer information. if you can't donate, sharing is also much appreciated

I've included screenshots for proof (with my personal information cropped out) below the cut

60/560 CAD

edit: this is very urgent, I'm already late to pay it and if I don't soon, there will be an added late fee. please help if you can

the first one is for my credit card, the second is for my line of credit 🙃

you can give seven days of internet connection to someone in gaza for just 6 USD

gazaesims.com is a website dedicated to helping people donate esims for people in gaza. (for the ultimate guide to donating an esim, see http://tinyurl.com/gaza-esims) there are multiple options for where to purchase an esim to donate, for the price i listed you want to use nomad esims. you can get a $3 discount by using someone's referral code from the notes of this post. it also will give the referrer credit to buy more esims! (you can only use a referral code on your first purchase) @/fairuzfan also a tag for esim referral codes here, some of which are nomad. BACKPACKNOMAD is another code to get $3 off your first purchase, it's been working for some people but not others so try out a referral code instead if you can't get it to work. also it took over an hour for the email with my information to come through so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away. (logging back into your nomad account seems to have helped some people get their emails to send!) NOMADCNG is a code for 5% off any middle east region nomad esims from connecting gaza. it can be used on any purchase, not just your first but is generally going to give less off than the first-purchase only codes, so use those first. it can be used in combination with nomad points. (nomad promo codes do not work on plans that are already on sale, unlimited plans, and plans under $5)

according to another post, NOMADXSTUDENTS15 gives 15% off of any plan (except day plans).

weekly tuesdays only code on nomad web, PST timezone! it gives 10% off plans 10gb and above. NOMADTUE

troubleshooting hint 1: if you are trying to pay through paypal, make sure you have pop-ups enabled! otherwise the payment window won't be able to appear.

troubleshooting hint 2: if you are trying to purchase an esim using the provider's app, it may block you from purchasing if your phone does not fit the requirements to install and use their esims. use their website in your browser instead and this problem should go away.

edit as of 5/5/24: holafly (israel and egypt), simly (palestine), and airalo (discover) are currently in the highest in demand. here is a purchase guide i made that covers all of the esim platforms, including these three platforms. if it has been more than 3 weeks since you initially sent your esim and your esim has not been activated, you can reforward your original email with the expiration date in the subject line. you can see gothhabiba’s guide for how to tell if your esims have been activated. if your esim has expired without use, you can contact customer service to renew or replace it.

buc-ees is planning on building a large location in north carolina that will detroy 32 acres occaneechi saponi land, the proposed location is in the middle of the historic occaneechi trading path that is part of a larger network historic trade routes in the south eastern US, and additionally has traditional ceremonial grounds and burial grounds in the vicinity. there is no contingency planning happening on buc-ees part for if a spill were to happen, potentially harming the wildlife in the area, and contaminating water.

Here’s a link to a petition to protect Native American land in NC from a gas station chain which poses immense environmental threats, has violated workers rights, and will destroy land with historical significance to natives. My ancestors traveled the trading path they plan to build over. Please sign if you have a moment

I'd also like to bring attention to the situation of Yusuf, who's in desperate need of medical attention and is stranded in Rafah with his family during the invasion.

His case was already urgent before. It is ever more urgent now.
