every time someone in the imperial core- especially the US- does whatever outrage theatre about potentially losing access to imperial benefits like cheap and universally accessible bananas- primarily from Guatemala- i think about all the imperial boons that aren't even stated. Brazilian lumber. Congolese copper. Colombian coffee. Indian gemstones. Malagasy vanilla. Mexican liquor. Ecuadoran shellfish. Vietnamese textiles. Peruvian gold. motor vehicle parts, unrefined petroleum, raw aluminum, leather, plastics, vegetable oils, cement articles, furniture, and on and on and on, exploited and stolen at gunpoint the world over. the enormity of violence that buys their comfort is practically impossible to overstate, as is its ubiquity. an endless cavalcade of invasions and coups and unpayable loans and structural adjustment policies and legal and economic advisors preaching austerity. it is an imperial benefit in itself to be capable of ignoring something so omnipresent and overtly insulting to immediately launch into a "woe is me!" act whenever they can't

“Hope Amid Despair: A Family’s Struggle to Stay Safe”

My name is Mai. I’m 28 years old, from Gaza. My life was full of simple dreams and ambitions. We were a small family living a quiet life despite the challenges around us. But the war took everything from us… it took our home, our safety, and our health.

My mother, who was always the pillar of our family, suffers from heart disease. Two weeks before the war, she underwent a major surgery to implant a heart device. She needed rest and care, but the war didn’t give her a chance to recover. Now, her condition worsens day by day. Her heart is weak, her body is frail, and the medications she desperately needs are either unavailable or unaffordable for us.

My brother has a severe hand injury and needs treatment to regain full function. As for me… I am living with hepatitis, my body is weak, and even the simplest things feel like an impossible dream.

My father has been in Egypt for 4 years, far from us, struggling with his own health after several heart surgeries. And we? We fight every day just to find clean water to drink or a small piece of food to survive. The war has left us with nothing, but even so, I still have hope… hope in the hearts of people who care and understand.

If my voice reaches you, I beg for your help. My mother urgently needs treatment, my family needs safety, and I just wish for one day without pain. Every bit of support from you is a lifeline for my family. donate what you're able to or 5$ AT LEAST to my gofundme or my paypal is also available and they accept any transfer amount. and i know you all afford to give away at least 1$ !

URGENT : Last week , this child, my nephew, was bombed next to the tents in which we live and burned, causing this child to burn, but we hoped that he would improve, but unfortunately his condition is urgent and very dangerous. I hope you support this child. It just made him smile when he heard that there were people who would care about him

yesterday mohammed told me how hard it is to have to tell the children no when they're crying from hunger but the family can't afford to feed them. they're down to one small meal a day and the adults all try to scrimp as much as possible so the kids can eat. they have all been underfed for months on end.

this campaign supports a large extended family, with multiple members who are currently nursing illnesses and injuries -- including mohammed's nephew. food and medical supplies at the markets are incredibly price-volatile these days and although the family tries to buy at the lowest cost they can find, everything is still marked up by orders of magnitude & hunger can't just be postponed.

draculas for palestine: round 4!

you know the drill: art print raffle now running for donors to mohammed iwais @mohdiwais and mohamed almanasra @save-mohamed-family.

this round we have beautiful prints from @srcepiksla, @skorpiomag, and kazimir lee iskander (@/kazzer.lee on instagram). you can enter for just one print, submit multiple entries, and/or make a higher donation to be entered for the chance to win all six prints.

next two winners will be drawn on 11 december: that's 2 weeks to enter if you'd like to claim one (or more) of these draculas for your very own!

idk what else i can possibly say to convince people the iwais family is worth keeping alive, there are 27 people living off these donations and they're in one of the most price gouged places on the planet struggling to afford a single bag of bug-infested flour for literally hundreds of dollars apiece. mohammed has shared extremely personal details about how he and his family are suffering, he's posted photos of their displacements and photos of his little nephew's full-body burns and x-rays of his sister's leg with a quadcopter bullet embedded in it and this family is still struggling to get a single donation in 12 hours. would you want to share your family's most terrifying moments with millions of strangers just for a shot at affording dinner? i don't want to craft Posts about this, it's ghoulish. please just help the people who are living through hell right now. yes they're verified & you can donate to their gofundme or paypal.

My family lives in desperate conditions. I present to you a family of more than fifteen children. We live in very difficult circumstances😭🙏🇵🇸🍉🔻

Our children often say: "Stop the war - we are children - we want to live." But does anyone in the world hear his screams and respond to him? We live in a state of despair. This family has been living for nine months in a small tent no larger than 3 metres. Imagine spending every day, every night, and every moment in such cramped conditions. They need urgent support to rebuild our home and restore a sense of normalcy

this campaign is #227 on el-shab-hussein and nabulsi's Vetted Gaza Fundraisers spreadsheet.

$25,022 CAD / $90,000 CAD

that's less than 20k in USD, and this campaign has been going since april! please share & donate!

Please re-post from time to time as you can see the campaign has not received any donations for a month and it is going very slowly and I am one of the oldest campaigns here and the lack of internet restricts my presence here

i'm not elaborating but jfk jr would love pro ana coquette tiktok

nvm i'm elaborating.

• odd beliefs about food

• diet that will kill you

• obsession with appearance

RFK JR. I meant rfk not jfk. helpme

jfk famously lost 11 pounds in a single day with his special technique

NOTHING, NO help for days literally not a cent. PLEASE IGNORE the amount of notes as we still need help. I grew up in poverty. Holidays were empty and just reminders of how cruel and unfair life was, we didn't celebrate thanksgiving we were never welcome we'd eat $1 meals and I'd go to bed crying cause i was hungry and depressed cause it didn't look like th thanksgiving we saw on tv

Well we're officially fucked to a whole new level today not only do we need enough food for the week Liu has off, forget thanksgiving we never have no fancy food for it, not in years. Sad but well probably just have ramen if lucky as a kid thanksgivings were hell on earth so I guess the kids feel the same but now we have it even worse as

My mom needs her meds which she takes for her lupus and her overactive thyroid and her narcolepsy. Without them she gets real bad and sick and cannot function she's needed them for 3 days she didn't want to tell me as she knows how stressed I am and she's so upset about how she can't provide for everyone what with her abuser constantly needling her.

Please keep d*nating especially for the kids wh should be spared all the humiliation, the shame of having been born, the guilt of having been born and being the catalyst of poverty. Please spare them, let them never worry over money and food.

Still at 0/63. No help in days.

Please please keep sharing please consider donating we are at rock bottom we have no food no money nothing for the kids what we had we finished I can't afford to steal food from my grandma for the kids last time I did I got punished badly please I'm so scared
