This is your reminder that without eSims, many people in Gaza cannot reach the rest of the world. To their loved ones overseas to the people who have donated to their fundraisers hoping to keep them alive. The Israeli government has issued repeated communications blackouts, trying to cut us off from Gaza. Even when there are not "official" blackouts, telecommunications are dangerous; Palestinians like Medo have died in makeshift tent cafes trying to access the internet and reach us. In Gaza, infrastructure has been severely damaged, despite the brave and hard work of people in Paltel on the ground. Do not think that because you read a headline about a communications blackout ending, eSims are not needed; Israel has already laid groundwork to cut Gazans off from the world - eSims work independent from the Israeli government and can provide data and phone service, an essential lifeline.

If the process of donating an eSim yourself seems daunting, you can contribute to the Crips for eSims fund directly here:

your comfort is complicity.

someone tagged one of my fundraising posts with "cw palestine". there are no photos on my post, no graphic descriptions. just people's names and how far they are from their goals. even if i had included photos or recounted suffering in intricate detail, how dare you? how fucking dare you put a content warning on people BEGGING for your attention when your tax dollars sponsor their destruction? no one can turn away and still claim a conscience.

here are more palestinians who have reached out to me in the past week.

What do you think about Julian and Shark girl relationship ? Do you think is cool enough to be expand on ?

Spiderman & the X-Men was actually one of the first comics i ever read (bamfs on the cover tricked me into thinking kurt was there) and it ended up informing a lot of my x-taste for years to come, and i def have a soft spot for julian/iara! i think their dynamic is cute and it gave us the immortal "savagely powerful women" quote that i come back to a lot lol

like yeah you do. thats your type. women who can beat you up.

they have a lot of good moments in this book. i just like the tone in general, and i def like that shark girl (whos a shark) gets a love interest in this. thats great!!

(bonus GOAT julian moments that live in my head. S&TXM required reading for julian-heads imho. he sucks so bad and its amazing)

i think if theyd gotten more page-time together and been in more runs as a couple this would be a pretty popular ship. its cute and fun, their head-butting dynamic works rly well! i think for me personally it rly suffers bc other ships just are more relevant to overarching stories, but id def be excited to see them together again! iara is great and its a shame shes pretty irrelevant these days, id love to see more of her in general. and i just love seeing julian in the arms of a savagely powerful woman what can i say

Hello everyone

I am Muhammad Al-Sir.

I am 42 years old from the Gaza Strip. I will tell you my story after October 7 in light of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. I have a family consisting of 9 members, most of whom are young children My eldest child is 14 years old, her name is Batoul, followed by Sydal, who is 13 years old, then twin children Majd and Jodi, who are 11 years old, then Sidra, who is 8 years old, then twins Ahmed and Mahmoud, who are 5 years old.

We were living a life full of happiness in our home in Gaza City, but our lives turned into a nightmare during the war that changed our lives. We became without a home, living inside a tent on the street, and there were no necessities of life, including water, electricity, clothing, and food.

In light of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, we went through very difficult circumstances. We were displaced several times, and during the displacement operations we lost everything, and we lost my house, which was destroyed by the Israeli bombing that did not stop.

We have lost the beautiful things that my family and I used to live with, and the most difficult beautiful thing we have lost is safety in peace, due to the violent bombing that surrounded us in all the places to which we were displaced. The days were difficult and there was no work to get any money, especially since my family consists of a large number of children and they have great needs.

I need your help in raising money to leave the Gaza Strip I ask everyone to participate and donate

Please donate and share 🇵🇸😭

Thank you
Mohammed alser

Help Muhammad's family get out oftheGaza
