I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing

hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.

IMPORTANT: VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION TO AGE VERIFICATION LAW IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA-STOP AB3080

The California age bill verification will be voted in monday, please call your reps and tell them to oppose the bill AB3080 as it threathens online privacy, as your ID will be linked to your browser history when you want to access a website. They deem LGBT content harmful to minors, as well as weapons and tobacco, putting them on the same level as nsfw content. Since a lot of tech companies resides in California (Youtube,Reddit,Discord,twitter) who know how they will implement this if it passes. Please take actions here (a script is included to help you) https://www.defendonlineprivacy.com/ca/action.php

You can also send faxes using this https://faxzero.com/ If you don't live in California,please spread the word and urge others to take actions, make posts and wteets using the hashtags AB3080 and NoOnAB3080

Remind your reps that companies pull out a of a state when they are required to do age verification. California cannot afford to lose that kind of money. Also specifically speak to Reps who are potentially losing votes or are more easily persuaded by telling them how popular this could be for their careers.

PLEASE REBLOG !

Why are Palestinians not allowed to have any allies? This is the same vein of people who lament about how “oh I only trust Palestinians to talk about Palestine” - we as Palestinians are asking you to speak up. It will always be just an excuse not to care or do anything. (And yes, what’s happening in Palestine actually does involve Americans!)

'Secure in the knowledge that push won't come to shove' they're being beaten and tazed and shot in the face, there's snipers on their University campuses. There's zionazi soldiers using tactics they copied from the genocide to attack them.

Zionazis and liberals' only tactic is to gaslight their targets into believing that fascism and authoritarianism isn't already underway.

People in Palestine have been loudly and unambiguously saying “protesters on American college campuses rock, keep it up.” In fact, Zionists use that against the protesters, citing these endorsements as at BEST ‘terrorists love these uninformed kids’ and at WORST ‘these kids are getting funding from terrorist groups.’

If Palestinians want American college kids out there, if they take time to make signs featuring the protesters, how is that in any way play-acting revolutionary fantasies? It’s all “listen to Palestinians” until actual Palestinians go ‘this rocks actually.’ It’s all “listen to Jews” until Jews are loudly anti-Zionist. Then the ‘well actually’ starts. You can’t win.

I ended up falling behind in some things yesterday so I couldn't finish my Xisuma design then, so I'm posting it today! (I know I'm gonna be off on some days, that was inevitable for me)

Because I've been playing a lot of Warframe lately, I took inspiration from the designs of the frames (specifically ones like Excalibur) for making a somewhat-humanoid but still-not-quite-human feel! The answer to the classic question of "what does he looks like under his helmet?" Nothing. That's his face. This is his entire body here, he cannot take anything off, you are basically looking at his skin (the purple crystal thingies and tail are meant to be holograms/light!)

the Biden admin "inquiring with the Government of Israel" about some heinous crime against humanity Israel has committed is basically a way of publicly signalling that nothing will happen and that they're hoping people will move on to the next Israeli atrocity and forget about the previous one.

Finally trying Hermit-a-Day May for the first time, and today's hermit is Beef! I've been having some difficulty lately with art anxiety, so this seems like a good opportunity to encourage myself!

I've always found that when making hermit designs, I've felt limited in feeling like I had to make them more palatable in a way? Like in order for them to be seen as valid, I had to be strict with myself and make them less weird, and that wasn't fun! So for this month, I want to try and go unique and just enjoy the design process!

For Beef, I made him a mix of the standard minotaur look people give him, and also mixed it with his alien arc from season 8 because I will NEVER let that plot go (also he's also not angry at all here, the way I drew his face just happened to turn out this way and the big ol fangs are obscuring the smile a wee bit!)

Repost of Instagram post by alessandra_sanguinetti:

“In 2004 I worked as an intern in Newsweek and had to go through the wires coming in from the Middle East.

The Iraq war was raging. Israel was committing its routine violations and killings.

The images were devastating and unequivocally condemning of both the USA and Israel, but I remember the editors would reject all my picks and demand images of burnt cars or vague images of destruction.

So I brought a hard drive and collected everything they didn't publish.

It was my first live glimpse of the lack of ethics or integrity in most US media.

Not the journalists on the ground, but of the senior editors making the calls - in their self important glass cubicles.

And no, to the cynics out there..it's not all too complicated to discuss on social media.

Social media is the only reason we know what's happening in Palestine.

And the only reason mainstream news has to keep up and sprinkle some actual news now and then.

Meanwhile we are seeing much less footage coming out of Gaza - Israel has been killing off all the journalists.

This is terrifying.”

Holy shit. Massive bombing on an Iraqi military base. One killed and eight wounded. Both the US and Israel deny involvement, but their stench is literally all over this. This came not even two weeks after the US said it was not planning to intervene. I’m so fucking sick right now.

Literally itching to find any possible excuse to yet again set foot in Iraq and destroy more and more of it…. and then to not even take accountability for it? I am so fucking sick of these monsters. Have they not done enough. Like this is huge. The fact that the US is full force launching attacks in Iraq again is insane.

For the record—Israel (and the US) is absolutely linked to this, because the military base bombed housed Iranian militia. And this is far from being the only attack Israel has conducted the last 48 hours.

In the last 48 hours Israel has launched attacks not only on Iraq, but also on Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and Syria. It has been clear for so long that Israel has no intention of stopping this at the genocide of Palestinians they continue to perpetuate. And a superpower is not only aiding and abetting this, but actively partaking in it. Why are these countries so fucking insensible to anyone who can do something?
