First, we want to once again deeply thank everyone again for donating to and sharing the campaign to help @moatazart, Mariam, and Maria evacuate Gaza for Egypt! They were able to transfer the money they raised into Egypt and begin the required paperwork!
Unfortunately, complications have arisen
The original sum ($20,000) included the cost of traveling to and entering Egypt for all three of them, as well as basic expenses required for starting a new life in a new country. In numbers, that is ($5,000•3 people)+$5,000=$20,000.
However, the cost of transferring the money was more than 20% of the initial sum, over $4,000. This was so high that nearly all of the money alotted for living expenses is now gone. Their paperwork is started and they are preparing for the dangerous journey south, but as of right now, they have nothing to live off of once they reach Egypt (God willing).
It is frustrating and disappointing that it costs an additional +20% just to begin the process of reaching safety. Now, Moataz, Mariam, and Maria are in need of $4,000 in order to be able to have a place to stay and money for food in Egypt. The goal of this fund is $5,000 because it is now known that 20-25% of funds transferred will be lost to fees. $1,000 will go toward these fees, while $4,000 will cover living expenses.
Please help this family rebuild their lives! If you cannot donate, please reblog Moataz’s post and this post, repost the fundraiser link on your own blogs, and on your other social media accounts.

You can use this call script if you call your local US government.
Call Script: My name is {Your Name}. I am a constituent of {Representative's Name}. I am calling to ask that the Representative add their name to the Ceasefire Now resolution led by Representatives Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib, regarding the unfolding crisis in Gaza.
It is absolutely urgent that the Representative demand a ceasefire, and that they call on Israel to allow humanitarian assistance into Gaza. The only way forward is addressing the root causes of violence: Israeli military occupation and apartheid, and ending U.S. complicity in this oppression.
So. I just tuned into another wayneradiotv stream. First one in a while. Once again it’s fucking insane
It’s a charity stream event for Palestine, cool! Baaulp is playing Root Beer Tapper. There’s twitch predictions for how far he’ll get, which is basically just gambling but instead of money it’s funne haha points you can use to get emotes with. Cool! I get a lot of points, someone gifts me a tier 1 sub, everything is fine!
Baaulp is confused about the betting. Doesn’t know what the fuck anybody is betting ON. Starts getting angry because it’s “ruining the vibe” and we’re turning his root beer tapper gameplay into a “whole thing”. Somebody tries to read donations and Baaulp fucking loses his shit. Entire chat, rtvs team, and even Baaulp himself falls silent. He’s in the zone. For 30 minutes plus the stream is nothing but Baaulp’s blank stare and the sounds of root beer tapper. Wayne puts up a text box on screen that reads “do not disturb Baaulp”. Predictions are still running in the background but with titles like “don’t tell Baaulp” and “I’m sorry Baaulp”. The next segment is supposed to begin and Baaulp doesn’t say anything, just continues to play Root Beer Tapper. He cannot be shaken. His webcam and gameplay is slowly dragged off screen with a cane png, the Root Beer Tapper music and sound effects growing quieter as it is. Baaulp never says a word. Break starts and everything is silent again
Unironically pretty normal rtvs stream considering they made the fucking live action spamton stream and hlvrai
21 y/o journalist Hossam Shabat is often cited by numerous media outlets, social media accounts, and this blog. He has spent the last 150+ days documenting the genocide while also organizing relief efforts and food drives that have fed thousands of people in north Gaza. Today he is asking for help for his family, whose home was destroyed because of his journalism. He writes,
I have decided to launch a personal fundraiser to help my family. Initially, I decided to first help my people and community, and have been supporting them in North Gaza for months. However, this campaign is dedicated to helping my family, who lost everything due to my profession. The Israeli forces contacted me directly, threatening me, and then bombed the house, of my family and built this house with our blood and sweat. Now, my family, consisting of 13 members, finds themselves living in a tent. Thus, I am launching this campaign to seek assistance for myself and my family during these challenging times.
Please use your voice for Palestine today. And I mean really use your voice. Don’t just reblog posts, or use a TikTok filter. Those things help a little, though there is so much more you can do. Make a phone call even if it’s scary. Send an email even if your reps have awful responses. Donate, boycott, find a protest near you, sign a petition, share Palestinian grief and joy, and more! And don’t you dare say “I can’t do x” because this is not about what you can’t do, it’s about what you CAN.
it takes a lot out of me to remember myself. i turn my face away from it and my body cracks open, spilling glistening hot viscera onto the floor for the audience to coo at. scenes flash behind me—dark corners, the breeze from the window, the floorboards creaking, a shift in the air. close to me, you look over my shoulder. you tell me, “you kept yourself so still when you were younger.” i want to ask how you know that. how do you know? but you reach out to touch my open body, press my hand to your chest, hold my face. it’s in your eyes. you were a boy once. just like me.
Respect for Greta Thunberg’s vocal commitment to the cause of Palestine.

Man interrupts climate activist, Greta Thunberg, grabbing the microphone to say "I came here for a climate demonstration, not a political [unintelligible]."
But with what’s happening for the past month, it’s something no one should over look.
Palestine is one of the strongest and bravest countries known, despite with what’s happening they never lose hope and neither should we. If you aren’t aware, Gaza has and is currently being bombed. Hospitals, schools, refugee camps are being targeted in the name of “self defence”.
