ALTThe quote in this comic is taken from the Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) article published August 12, 2026, "Israel puts thousands at risk blocking crucial supplies for healthcare in Gaza." I want you to understand the impact of this on children in Gaza like my friend Ahmed (@ahmed-motaz). These genocidal policies are actively killing him right now. He has no access to food, medicine, or healthcare. Ahmed needs donations urgently.
Two days ago, @ahmed-motaz wrote, "My condition is deteriorating rapidly and becoming increasingly critical. I cannot afford the medicine that would extinguish this fire in my body, nor can I afford the food that would sustain what little remains of me. I am withering away, on the verge of death, because I cannot obtain the medicine and food that could save me. I beg you, with every drop of blood and every tear I shed each night, to help me." Please read his entire post. Then, donate.
Ahmed's campaign is vetted (gazavetters #198) and he has been fundraising on tumblr for years. @ahmed-motaz is still a child and has been desperately asking for help from us while enduring more trauma than anyone should experience in their entire life. Please help him.
she was a furry, she was a therian, she wanted to make her own fursuit from scratch, she was a party girl, she was loved deeply by her friends
was doing a first aid course and it kept talking about how when applying first aid to a child you have to ask the PARENT for consent and how the child's consent is not enough unless you cannot reach the parent. and then immediately after there was a unit on shaken baby syndrome, and then mentioned abuse as a common source of children getting injured. and they didn't see the irony there. i later asked the instructor what to do about parental consent if the medical emergency was from the parent abusing the child and she was like "you still need to obtain parental consent. you can report the abuse though" not even acknowledging how fucked the whole system is. i hate it here. youth rights now
I went to a market recently that was absolutely swimming in appropriation of First Nations religious and cultural items.
I'm talkin white people selling rattles and dream catchers, white people banging First Nations style drums, white people teaching talking stick workshops, that kinda shit
So what do you do when you see this crap? How do you show your disapproval in a way that makes them give a shit?
I'll tell you what I do. The point is to show them that appropriating Indigenous cultures will lose them customers.
When I see fakey Native art I say something like "Oh wow, you make dreamcatchers! What nation are you from?" (Use tribe in the states)
I used to ask point blank if they were Native, but I'd nearly always get some Cherokee great grandmother bullshit, or even "I'm not sure, I could have some Native in me!"
Most of the time they don't know what I'm talking about, because they're not Native and don't know that this is a very normal thing to ask when meeting another Native.
When they ask me what I mean I say "I mean your tribe, which First Nation are you from?"
This is the point where they sheepishly mumble that they are not First Nations.
I let my face fall and say something like "Oh. That's disappointing" or "Wow. Unfortunate."
I let it get awkward. And then I leave, shaking my head in disapproval.
You may feel like you need to educate them on cultural appropriation but here's the thing: it's 2025. They know. Brenda the middle class reiki shaman is FULLY aware that her smudge fans are stolen culture. She doesn't care. The only way to make them care is to hit them where it hurts: the wallet.
Make them think that you would have purchased what they are selling if it was AUTHENTIC.
If you wanna go the extra mile send an email to the organizers, in your best white people voice, and tell them that you are disappointed that they are facilitating culture theft.
Go out and make Brenda uncomfortable!
not to be a snitch, but if this is happening in the US you can also straight up report Brenda for a fine up to $250k under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act.
Israel has violated the "ceasefire" countless times since it began, killing more than 1,200 Palestinians since October 10th, 2025. Attacks on medical warehouses near a hospital happened Saturday. Al Jazeera reported on the attacks here.
If you have the means to help a family in Gaza, please consider helping Nader's. His father is currently fighting cancer, and due to the limited medical resources, it's extremely difficult to treat.
My father is still in the hospital, and his health is deteriorating. He desperately needs help. The costs here are incredibly high due to the border closures and the ban on medicine. Please donate now and help save my father from death. Please donate now.
Please help Nader and his family!
Please don't hesitate to share this post and donate to us. We need every bit of help and every donation. We haven't received any donations for two days now. You are our hope. Please save my father before it's too late.

“You think every citizen should have access to free and accessible healthcare?”
Wrong!!!
I think that Asylum seekers and Migrant workers and The Undocumented and Everyone Else should get free healthcare too
I love immigration
This one made the fascists and the racists really really mad. I get hate mail daily for this post
Imagine getting mad because someone else’s child’s chemotherapy doesn’t cost them 100,000$ .
The doctors told me that if nothing changes in the next twelve hours, my father will die. His blood has become very thin, and every minute that passes is heavier than the last.
They explained that he was still on life support, and I was told they couldn't continue his treatment indefinitely because I could no longer afford the exorbitant medical costs. I stood there speechless, feeling as if the ground had vanished beneath me.
I'm begging you, I'm in Gaza, watching my father bleed before my eyes, unable to stop it. Donate now and help me save his life before it's too late. Donate now on GoFundMe
Please donate! I can’t imagine hearing such horrible news in his scenario. Bravery & strength have a limit. He needs help urgently, please donate.
If anyone could match my donation, I put $20 in today. A fraction of that, a reblog, anything helps. Just please, help my friend out if you can.
Thank you so much, my friend. This donation of yours helps us a lot. Please match this donation or donate whatever you can.
please help my friend Nader to afford his father's medical bills!
We could lose my father at any moment. Please don't stop sharing this post and donate. My father is suffering greatly in the ICU. Please, please, please donate now.
Please help my friend Nader!!
Donations have completely stopped, and the hospital administration warned us today that they may expel us because I can no longer afford my father's treatment. Please, I beg you through my tears, donate now before my father is left without care.
I will never forget those who donated and shared my father's story and tried to save him, but unfortunately, I still cannot afford enough medication or clean bandages. Donate now before his condition worsens.
Please help us and share this post as widely as possible. My father's life is in danger, and you are our only hope. Please, please donate now.
I never imagined I'd be begging the world to help keep my father alive. If you want to save a life, let it be my father's. Donate now; every donation today can help ensure he continues to receive the care he so desperately needs while there's still time.
In the 19th century, Americans idealized wilderness, which they defined as natural areas without people in them. The issue with this, of course, was that the “wilderness” areas that they wanted to turn into national parks had people in them.
So what was it like for the people who lived in these “wildernesses,” what happened to them, and what evidence is left of their lives?
