I am moving all my fandom and art activity from this blog to elfroot-and-laurels. This blog will remain up for the time being, but I will only be using it for fundraiser boosting.
I will happily share vetted and verified fundraisers for those in Gaza and Sudan. I am not, however, able to verify fundraisers or accounts. All verification requests should be sent to accounts such as @el-shab-hussein.
I came back from the long bathroom tired, and I was shocked when I saw my wife with her hand on her cheek and crying as she burned some of the clothes she had worn throughout the war, so that she could light a fire for cooking in them. I didn’t even want to ask her why you did that, I just kept silent and looked at her. What I know is that she endured what she endured. No woman on this planet could bear it. She moved 7 times from tent to tent. She took care of her children and their cleanliness as if we were in our own home. I do not think there is a woman who had the patience to clear the dishes from the water bottle. Halima’s patience ran out, and I do not think she is the same person as before this. Extermination, but what I know well is that in peace and war and at all times I “love her very much.”
Note: I am aiming to reach the third goal of 30k by the end of next week, in order to rebuild the house and get out of this bitter reality.
Rebuilding Live: A Mother’s Plea for Hope and Safety in Gaza🙏♥️
I’m Nour Alanqar, and reaching out to you during a time of unimaginable hardship. I am 26 years old, married to Ashraf Ismail, who is 32, and together we have three beautiful children: Hussein, 6, Rajaa, 5, and Youssef, just 10 months old. Our lives have been turned upside down by the devastating war in Gaza, and we desperately need your help.
• My daughter Rajaa is a radiant beam of sunshine, bringing boundless joy, warmth, and love to everyone she meets.
On a dark night at the beginning of the war, our area was subjected to massive bombing. The explosions reached our home, forcing us to flee into the night, running amidst periodic explosions and searching for survival. We made our way to southern Gaza by morning, seeking refuge in Rafah.
•This is our home, filled with our memories and moments of joy and happiness, now reduced to rubble. Its destruction shattered our hearts.
In Rafah, we found shelter in a crowded warehouse filled with strangers, all of us struggling to find basic necessities like food, water, safety, and cleanliness. Despite these challenges, we were again hit by direct bombardment. My husband was injured in the shoulder, and the scene around us was filled with blood and corpses. The cries of my children in those moments still echo in my head.
•A fragment of what it once was, and now, what it has become.
We moved several times to places described as safe, only to face new tragedies. During this period, my precious daughter Raja contracted hepatitis, adding to our suffering.
It was incredibly difficult for me to endure these disasters, especially as I was in the process of giving birth. Youssef was deprived of proper breastfeeding and the necessary nutrition for his age. Hussein’s right to education and a safe childhood have been cruelly taken from him.
•My baby Youssef, whom I clung to throughout the war, running with him through the rubble of shattered homes to escape.
•At an age when Hussein should have been enjoying his childhood, all his rights were taken away from him.
Our situation is dire, and we need your support to rebuild our lives and provide a future for our children. Your kindness and generosity can make a profound difference. Your contributions will help us secure safe shelter, access to medical care, and the basic necessities of life.
Please, consider helping us during this critical time. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to safety, stability, and a chance to rebuild our lives.♥️🙏
Hello, I am Fadi from Gaza. We are facing a difficult situation due to genocidal war and famine. I am a father of one child and my wife is pregnant and needs care. Unfortunately, we lost everything. I need your help and kindness in any amount of money or by republishing the post from my account so that I can save my family’s life from the danger of certain death. Feel free to help me with $10 or $15 does a lot of good. A few of you are helping us.
Thank you everyone for reading and sharing my pinned post. Hate mail went from 50+ per hour to 0! Back to writing prompts soon <3
You harassed a Gazan genocide survivor off of Tumblr (he’s had his account for over a decade, and on it, he’s documented the horrific losses his family has suffered even before October 7th), doubled down on accusing all GFMs vetted by Palestinians on Tumblr of being part of an organized scam ring by hyperfocusing on the one GFM on that list that’s sketchy (no regard, of course, to how this might effect the hundreds of other families trying to survive a genocide), quietly deleted allevidenceof yourself being racist to the genocide survivor you fueled a harassment campaign against, never apologized for any of this, and now, after you’ve gotten to play the victim for a bit, you’re doing a victory lap and celebrating the harm you’ve done.
But before you go back to your regular scheduling of stealing posts from Reddit and pretending they’re your own, I think you’re followers should know what the backlash against you is about.
Here’s screenshots and a links to the posts you’ve quietly deleted:
NOTE: The person sending this ask is MahmoudBalousha, a Palestinian refugee currently residing outside of the country. He’s organizing several GFMs on behalf of his family, and is very much a real person.
Here’s a post from his Palestinian friend (another long-time Tumblr user), with a reply from one of the people who has been in daily contact with Mahmoud and helped him set up a fundraiser.
I’ll repost my own reply here, since you never acknowledged it, and never apologized to Ahmed (90-ghost):
This is really not my story to tell. It feels very uncomfortable to shared Ahmed’s history like this, and to see how he’s been forced to be this public about his loss and trauma in order to be believed (and then to see you, still doubting him!).
Ahmed is now trying to adjust to a life in Egypt, still has most of his friends and family in Gaza, and is struggling just to cover his own living expenses in the city he’s now a displaced refugee in.
The fact that you, from the safety of your home (Ahmed’s has been turned to rubble by Israeli bombs), felt so comfortable dragging him and other Palestinians through the mud like this is despicable.
You never responded to any of this, and I know for a fact that you at least saw my reply, because shortly after, you made a new post doubling down where you tried to imply Ahmed had faked his entire blogging history:
And again, my reply, which you also didn’t respond to:
You’ve done real, material harm to the Palestinians you’re dragging through this. And I think you’re very well aware of that, you just don’t care and you never will.
And lastly, if you want to accuse me of contributing to spreading scams, that’s fine. My conscience is clear. I’d rather take the risk of accidentally promoting a scam (and I’ve seen no evidence that I have so far done so) than keep silent and deny help to people desperately trying to survive a genocide.
EDIT: and now you’re reblogging posts from @/prismatic-bell, a racist, Zionist blogger who once publicly threatened to dox a Native American by detailing, step by step, how easy it would be because of how small the First Nation group they belonged to was.
going to put this very bluntly - please both donate to and reblog mohammad and shaima’s fundraiser. they are stuck in khan younis. we all know that the hospitals in khan younis are not functioning right now, because israel deliberately targeted and destroyed them. salma, wafaa’s niece who is a puny 5 years old, was turned away by medical aid in gaza, because they had nothing left. she is now suffering from rashes and an intestinal infection. she is five years old. she is five years old, suffering from rashes and an infection. she cried on her birthday. please donate and reblog. please don’t ignore this because you think someone else is bound to donate. everyone is thinking that and passing this fundraiser without giving it a second glance. these children are suffering. please donate however much you can and reblog.
actually disappointed that the wonderful people keeping tabs on these fundraisers have to come up with new ways every day to keep privileged tumblr users interested in donating. it’s embarrassing - especially when you take into account how people are quick to donate to ao3 or their shitty show. most of you can afford to spare a few dollars, but you don’t! you would donate to an ao3 kickstarter, but never to a palestinian fundraiser where actual children are suffering! disgusting! i’m sick of it! please donate and reblog!!!!!!
tag list - literally every single person on here lol. this should not be beyond someone’s interest because “ohhh i hate when my blog gets political” you are literally embarrassing yourself AND giving me secondhand embarrassment simultaneously. please stop. the goal is to get this fundraiser to 23.5k by the end of the day. please donate and reblog. every dollar is needed because too many people on here are too proud of being selfish.
god. its really frustrating the way internet virality works. everyone who sees success can only do so at the expense of others.
both shahed and shaima+mohammed (wafaa’s siblings) were the initial targets of the recent wave of scam allegations, yet only shahed’s gofundme was spread and received support as a result. maybe this is because and shaima and mohammed are slightly older, more traditional people who can’t work the internet as well, maybe because they were less willing to share the intimate details of their pain online. maybe it’s plain luck. either way its pretty shitty that only one person received the proper support after all that abuse, and that everyone else is being ignored.
since shahed reached her goal i want to redirect all of our righteous anger and empathy toward some of the other palestinians who were primarily targeted by this hate campaign. many of the campaigns on this list are stagnating in the amount of donations they recieve, despite the amount of attention they’ve received lately. of course, everyone here is vetted by either 90-ghost or el-shab-hussein:
amira alanqar@amira-world , who was targeted by some arrogant bitch who thought they knew better than actual palestinians how to vet a fundraiser and who also claimed that there was no point in donating to palestinians because evacuations are uncommon. [verification]
I’ve been speaking with Mohammed Haboub (@mohammedhaboubsblog), and he asked me to share some of his story with you all.
Mohammed is a computer engineering student in Gaza. His home was destroyed in the early days of the genocide, and since then he and his family have been displaced multiple times. Right now, Mohammed and his family are in urgent need of $3,000 USD to maintain their current living arrangements. He’s collected $2.3k so far, and he just needs another $700 to reach this small goal!
I donated 200 SEK, which is approximately $20 USD. Please match my donation if you’re able! It doesn’t have to be as much, it can be less or more, whatever you can give. Please donate what you can, reblog Mohammed’s posts, and share his fundraiser with others. He needs these funds urgently so that he will not have to move himself and his entire family all over again. Let’s lighten his load as best we can.
*Please keep in mind when donating that the conversion factor between SEK and USD is around 10x, so $1 USD is equivalent to about 10 SEK, $10=100 SEK, etc.
I cannot believe I forgot to add the link to the GFM. Sorry! Here it is:

Block the writing-prompt-s blog. I don’t care if you like them I don’t care if they’re important to your ability to practice your creativity. They chased a genocide survivor off of tumblr with harassment and baseless accusations. This is a serious fucking problem and it’s more important than 1 writing prompt blog.
They also run drawing-prompt-s and badjokesbyjeff for those unaware
This is already getting more notes than I anticipated so here. And Ahmed got the help of another blogger to make the announcement that he will not be returning to tumblr due to the hate and harassment he received in no small part thanks to writing-prompt-s’ harassment and then this is the best that his little shitfans have to say:
I cannot emphasize enough how much white people have obssessively played the victim of hate campaigns and false accusations while LEADING them in this situation. Fucking laughable trying to paint “the largest blog on here” as a victim of a witchhunt for skepticism. Motherfucker went out of his way to shit on a genocide survivor and helped the mob chase him off the platform. White people will never ever ever take responsibility for their actions.
I have a list full of vetted campaigns and not once has this fucking blog ever supported them like they stated ‘they would love to’. But ok.
The notes on this got wayyyyy out of hand, but for those who don’t have context, the red link at the bottom of my pinned post has the majority of the context you need.
i want to talk about my friend Bilal @bilal-salah0. for over a year now, Bilal has been living in germany, trying to adjust to his new living situation in a foreign country, learning a new language and working full time.
when the war started, he was far away from home and his family and has been living in daily fear for their lives ever since.
being forced to work long hours and promoting his family’s fundraiser at the same time, he has taken on more responsibility than anyone ever should. still, he managed to raise money for their evacuation fund and helped take care of his family’s daily needs with the money he was making while working.
in a cruel twist of fate, all of this got taken away in an instant. he lost his job and his apartment and even his residence permit. which means he is at danger of deportation from germany that could happen as soon as next week!
i have been in daily contact with Bilal for a while now and connected him with some of my friends in germany. together, we are trying our utmost to make sure he can stay in the country. anyone who knows german bureaucracy knows what kind of hell it is. but we won’t give up.
without his job, he was forced to dip into the money of his family’s evacuation fund to cover their daily expenses like food and shelter. this meant he had to raise his goal from €70,000 to €100,000. this was not an easy decision for him to make, he even asked for my advice on whether or not to do it, because he did not want anyone to think he was scamming people.
even in such a desperate situation, Bilal does not want to be seen as someone who would ever take advantage of people’s generosity
his family is comprised of 18 members, 10 of them are adults and 8 are children under 16 years old, some of them newborns who were born amidst the chaos of war and displacement.

currently, he is sitting at:
€71,817 / €100,000
donations have been slowing down ever since he reached his original goal. i cannot stress how important it is that they pick back up!
WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! HE NEEDS TO REACH HIS GOAL BY AUGUST 15TH!
THAT MEANS HE HAS TO RAISE NEARLY 30K IN THE NEXT TEN DAYS. THIS CANT WAIT.
his campaign has been verified and can be found on @/el-shab-hussein’s and @/nabulsi’s list of vetted fundraisers here (#132, line 136) so PLEASE don’t hesitate to share and donate.
With such a tight deadline, i cant do this on my own. So i implore you to PLEASE share this wherever you can– on your whatsapp groups, on your discord servers, please share his story on other platforms wherever you have reach! Please share his story wherever you can, so that we can ease this burden from his shoulders.
[ID: a gfm link with a picture of two small children sitting in the sand in front of a cooking pot. they are looking up a the camera, eyes half-closed. the title reads “Donate to Help Evacuate My Family from Gaza to Safety, organized by Bilal salah” End ID]
tagging for reach under the cut, please let me know if you’d like to be removed:
Before October 7th, Namer Matar and his wife owned a stonemasonry business, now destroyed by the constant bombing of the zionist occupation. His wife was pregnant with twins, and she gave birth to two boys in unsanitary and atrocious conditions in displacement. 3 months after their birth, both boys contracted a serious condition that needed immediate intensive care, but because of the zionist occupation’s bombings of hospitals and the blockade preventing medical aid from entering, the care was not adequate, and one of the boys - Ali (named after his martyred uncle) - died very quickly. His brother - Zakaria - is still undergoing treatment for survival, and has special needs such as needing lactose free milk. They have 4 other children, as well as Namer’s grieving parents, who all need to be evacuated.
Guys, please, this is urgent. One of the twins has already passed away, and the other twin is reliant on lactose-free formula to survive because of the disease both he and his brother were afflicted with. I cannot stress enough how expensive it is right now and how much this loss broke their family.
This is the formula being used.
Please help them.
Hey guys, GFM froze their fundraiser for some bank account and money use verification when this post was queued to post. It’s back up now. They’ve already lost important time.
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. AWESOME NEW CODE: nomad esim discount code for 75% off any plan, NOMADCS25 do not know how long it lasts but this is an amazing deal esp. since they are really low on esims right now! (nomad promo codes do not work on plans that are already on sale, unlimited plans, and plans under $5)
weekly tuesdays only code on nomad web, PST timezone! it gives 10% off plans 10gb and above. NOMADTUE
for the month of may, first time referrals give 25% off for a person’s first purchase and 25% off the referrer’s next purchase! it’s a great time to use someone’s referral code from the notes if you are a first time buyer.
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.
I think some of you should feel more shame for the way you talk about Palestinians, especially Palestinian evacuees, because what the fuck is “attractive Arabic-looking people”
