It's with a heavy but hopeful heart that I watch Palestinian families fundraiser on here, slowly accumulating the precious little money to go around that they need to survive. However, not everyone is so lucky. A lot of Palestinians that have not had that kind of luck, that did not get early verification, that did not get massive platforms behind them from large bloggers, have approached me in my inbox, asking me kindly to do what I can for them. It kills me that I have so little to give myself, but I've seen this platform collectively raise enough to change someone's life. I've made a list of Palestinian fundraisers that are extremely low on funds, in the hope that drawing attention to people who have not been lucky at all can help turn that luck around. I know most of us can't possibly give enough to get all of these families safe in one go. But please, reblog this list. Pick one or two fundraisers, give what you can, and then keep track of it. Slowly, collectively, we can make a difference in these people's lives. Share and donate as much as you can. https://docs.google.com/document/d/178EGDFKkHlh3y4TMVX82kqgITHsqtoMdNccI2f_94Os/edit?usp=sharing
it makes me so fucking angry. Why do palestinians trying to escape genocide have to ask how you are. Why do they have to apologize for sending asks. Why must every message stast with saying they wish the reader well, they they hope you're doing okay, that they're so sorry to bother you. Do these people have to act nice and sweet for anyone to care? Do they have to make sure you're doing well before they have the right to ask for anything? Its horrific.
Issiah is a Hebrew name meaning Salvation of God. In the Hellenistic tradition Venus was often called devotional ✨
I am a firm believer that the Ascendant or a planet in the 1H can represent your name or any name you take on.
A cry for help from Gaza
My name is Salem, I am 26 years old. I am married to Hadeel, she is 25 years old, and we have two beautiful children: Laila (5 years old) and Bakr (five months old). We live in the northern part of Gaza.
Laila and Bakr are my heartbeat, the light of my life, and my everything.
The horrific story of the recent war in Gaza
Since the beginning of the last war in Gaza, our home has been completely destroyed, forcing us to be displaced. We had to move more than 10 times to find safety. During this harrowing journey, we faced extreme hunger and malnutrition that almost claimed the lives of me and my children. In addition, we have been exposed to many serious infectious diseases and epidemics.
Before: This is our homeland, our dream, and our promising future.
Unbearable hardships
Every day I have to travel long distances just to get water, and stand in lines for hours to get food. My children's mental health deteriorated due to the war, their education was interrupted, and they suffered from catastrophic hunger that almost claimed their lives.
After: This is our house, built with our sweat and effort, and it was completely destroyed.
The right to a peaceful life
My children deserve to live a peaceful life free of fear and anxiety. I dream of your help to support my family and escape this genocide. Your help means the world to me and my children.
The cost of arranging travel for an adult outside Gaza currently varies
Between $5,000 and $7,000, and $2,500 for each child, in addition to a cost of living of $500 per month.
How can you help?
Your donations can be a beacon of hope for us. Every dollar can help save my children's lives and give them a chance to live in peace. Your prayers for us to overcome this ordeal and lift the siege are greatly needed
Laila: My beloved, the closest to my heart, and my little one.
Bakr: My child who came during this horrific war.
Donate now and help us get to safety
May God reward you greatly for your generosity.
Background on the Gaza war
The war in Gaza has left hundreds of thousands of victims, destroyed infrastructure, and left many homeless. The humanitarian situation in the region has reached critical levels, with severe shortages of basic necessities such as food, water and health care. Children are the most affected, as they have lost their sense of security, education and normal life.
Your support is our hope
Your donation is the light that can guide us towards a better future. Don't miss the chance to be part of a story that saves a family suffering from unimaginable hardships.
Donate now and make hope possible
Thank you for your support and kindness.
My gratitude
Salem and family
PLEASE talk about Congo, Haiti, and Sudan, with the same fervor you give Palestine. PLEASE care about black struggle and suffering.
Help My Two Daughters Escape From Gaza War
Hello everyone..
I am Hadeel Mikki from Gaza, Palestine and this is my husband Waseem Mikki, my daughters Mira and Nadia, My mother Tahani Mikki, and my two brothers.
Here is our story - Ever since the morning of the 7th of October, none of our lives have been the same. Everything in our lives has been disrupted. The first night since the beginning of the war, our home got partially destroyed because of a very close Israeli strike.
Despite the damage, we stayed home for another two weeks until suddenly and without preparation, we were told to evacuate our homes and we’d be in danger. From this moment our endless journey of suffering and pain began.
Throughout this journey, we later Knew that our home of three floors where my family and my uncle-in-law family live. My uncle family of 5 members did not leave our home and it has got bombed directly and completely destroyed and all of them were martyred.
My father-in-law his heart could not bear all this pain and all this grief; so he got sick. He found himself living the darkest of realities and through the scarcity of medicine and lack of medical resources in the hospitals, he passed away.
My husband, Waseem, was very sad, and my daughters missed their grandfather, who used to play with them and bring them toys.
The situation was very difficult for my children, and my eldest daughter, Mira, kept crying and wanted to go and see her grandfather, and she did not realize that he had gone and would never return.
So we moved in with my husband, children, and I, full of great sadness, with my mother and two brothers, who are the only survivors of my family; They are all that I have left, and I hope that we will all escape with our lives outside of war and destruction, and that my children will survive. We do not want to lose them.
Our future has become unknown, our present is unbearable, unlivable by human standards. We’re stuck in a harsh reality each moment. We live in a constant state of sounds of explosions, bullets raining down on us, artillery shells, and warplanes dropping destructive missiles on us every day.
In addition to our ongoing suffering to this day: lack of resources, humanitarian aid, medicine, and food. We can barely find food for my girls, as they eat one meal during the day and spend the rest of the day crying.
This is my daughters enjoying a life before 7th October.
But now my princess Mira stay alone all the time remember her previous life, her school, her friends, our beautiful life, and all places we were visited with Mira and Nadia as a beautiful family and still cry I need my school, I need my friends, I need my toys.
This is the cry of a mother and father. We hope that our children will be given the opportunity to live in peace and security and have access to food and a safe life like the rest of the children of the world everywhere.
Now I am pregnant in the 4th month , and I don't know how I will get the baby, there is no hospitals , no pregnancy care , no food , no clean water, so I am worried about this pregnant with these circumstances.
Maybe this fundraising effort is like a beacon in the darkness, our sole source of hope that we hold onto tightly. I urge the world to listen to my plea and the sorrowful cries of my Gaza kin. We desperately require the helping hand that can dry our tears and lead us to safety.
Your contribution is more than just money; it's a chance to reconstruct life and illuminate a brighter future. Join us in shaping a tale of hope, as we rely on your support to begin afresh.
The purpose of the fundraising campaign
The objective of this fundraising drive is to secure the passage of my family, comprising my husband, two daughters, mother, two brothers, and myself, through the Rafah Crossing to Egypt. Presently, this journey necessitates £5000 per person. This campaign stands as our sole opportunity for survival, and I earnestly implore your aid during this pivotal juncture. Rest assured, I will furnish you with a detailed breakdown of the expenses, vowing transparency, and lucidity throughout.

I'm talking about people who prey on you over sexual stereotypes, push boundaries and blur the line of raceplay to fulfill their 1700s fetish without consent
KEHLANI | Tiny Desk Concert (2024)
I'm Abdelrahman, 22 years old. My journey has been marked by loss and resilience. When I was 18, my father passed away from COVID-19. Determined to build my own future, I pursued an education in multimedia technology, balancing my studies with work to cover my expenses. I was preparing to establish my home and life.
My mother: the princess whom we strive to make happy and satisfy. ❤️️
However, the war in Gaza, especially in the north, brought devastating tragedy. My home, university, job, and family were all destroyed in the conflict. While my family moved to the south, I was in the north, facing famine and moving from place to place, trying to survive.
Our street used to be lively and full of people, but it is no longer like that.
I have witnessed countless difficult and painful scenes while escaping death multiple times. In northern Gaza, life is reduced to a cycle of fleeing from danger and searching for food amidst the rubble of destroyed homes.
I have survived many times,I was hit by a missile in previously destroyed house
This picture is enough to show our suffering in getting flour to survive.
My dream is to travel abroad with my mother and sister to continue my education and develop my practical skills. For the past eight months, I have been unemployed, focusing on self-improvement and hoping for a better future.
Your help can save a family from death, it can save a dream, an ambition, or a success, so please help me by donating or publishing my story so that I can save my family.

You NEED to know the Essential Dignity of your rising sign it’s so important to your life and vitality.
Take maybe Capricorn for example. You can get its general significations by it being Saturns nocturnal house. Yet take a bit further What can the sign being Mars’ exaltation, and the Moon’s detriment say about a person? I know it’s said that these people are workaholics yet I would like to offer a deeper perspective, the natives are enabled to do things that aren’t necessary conductive the body. This allows them to endure in everything from working, to working out. Yet this can be daunting being Jupiter’s Fall they can feel their efforts are harder to achieve.
This helped me, I didn’t really feel like the Venusian part of Libra (As I get older I feel it more) But when I realized it is the fall of the Sun and the exaltation of Saturn it put it in perspective for me. Libra reminds me of the quote from Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen ‘It is not everyone,’ said Elinor, ‘who has your passion for dead leaves.’
The Saturnian-Venusian combination for me has been a love for ugly things or things deemed ugly by others. Dead Flowers, Old houses, sunken eyes, ect. The fall of the sun;Libra is one not for illusions. It sees something and wants to know the darker truth, and find a way to understand and love it.
The signs and planets rarely show up on their own, I implore you to study your risings Fall Exaltation, Triplicity, it’s decan and bound, to get a better understanding of it.

I am Ahmed Al-Nabih from Gaza, and this is my twin brother Abdul Rahman. I am 30 years old. I used to live a beautiful life with my family and my brother. The idea of marriage was on the table and we were going to continue our lives in our beautiful house, but something happened like a nightmare. The war came and took all our dreams and destroyed our house. Our lives became very difficult and arduous. We lived in tents. In the extreme heat, my mother suffers from chronic diseases, heart disease, blood pressure, and diabetes. Please help me save my family and my elderly mother. I ask for your support and participation. A small donation makes a difference. I have only collected 1,60euros in about five months! Thank you all!❤️🙏

A picture in the war of my mother, who is 62 years old, due to the lack of medicine because she suffers from chronic diseases, blood pressure, heart, and diabetes. Her health condition deteriorated due to the difficult life in Gaza and famine, and because we live in tents in the extreme heat.!🥹
I am during the war and my life has become arduous and tiring!😌
Now we live here, it is a terrifying life, more like a nightmare!☹️
Our beautiful house has become rubble!😢

Mercury finding joy in the 1st house is quite beautiful to me. To me it shows how we as humans communicate in all types of ways. Weather that’s Verbal, non verbal, with our bodies, sign language. We are in constant communication.
Writing is so first house coded to me also, I know technically it’s signified in other places buuuut…. To me it’s the connection between the head and heart, producing something only you could uniquely. What’s more first house than that?
The ascendant is said to be the point where the soul meets body. The point on the horizon when you took your first breath. I see Mercury’s Joy there as it expressing your soul, however way you can.
Venus is in Leo I’m so excited! Venus wise the next month looks ok for me. Venus is in my 11th house it’ll cross over my natal Venus!! And She’ll be in my first house by my birthday that’s literally so hot ❤️❤️❤️

I don’t know what topics I should cover, I really want to write about the triplicity lords of the 5th house (My favorite house my moons there ❤️) And what gives you Pleasure.
Or maybe A deep dive on the Lot of Eros (yes love is in the brain Venus ruled tings✨) looking at charts including my own and see how they show up! But that’s more of a experiment type thing!
But I’m open to ideas so if you have some it will be appreciated ❤️

before pride month ends does anyone wanna admit they have a crush on me
It’s literally in 2 months someone save me pls 🫠
I’m irrevocably nervous to turn 23, a 12th house profection year?? In this Economy?? This is maddening. Haven’t I had enough? Guess not lol
Exactly, I feel like Venus has become so flattened with her significations, mostly coming for how society views sex and sexuality now but it’s just unfortunate. Give my girl her shit back!
Mars doesn't read as a sex planet to me as a traditional astrologer because it joys in the 6th House of illness, injuries and enemies. It just doesn't, it just gives STis and being victimized by someone, hate me all you want for that. That's just what it's giving and perhaps any associations with sex Mars has is because of that, because of its nature.
And I understand people dislike traditional for that reason, but it doesn't hold back. I literally said Venus-Mars is connected with experiencing infidelity, but what do you think happens when people cheat? You get your heart (Venus) broken (Mars) and sometimes, you get an STI if you're unlucky. The most perfect example being criminals because Mars rules criminals and prisons are full of men bringing home STIs to their wives and girlfriends, like Mars being hot and dry, ruling inflammation and fevers, fevers are associated with illness, like I can't get behind it... No pun.
Mars is not the type of sex we think it is in all honestly. Like maybe if you're into some wild shit.
However, Venus is symbolic of sex and gives that signification to the 5th House where she joys. Planet of love, the term "making love." Obviously sex leads to children and especially leads to children if you're doing it well.
Don't even bring up the 8th to me, ask anybody who has gone through the 8th House year and it's not about sex. I won't debate with astrologers over much, but I will always have time for the sex debate!
