verified fundraisers that have been shared with me

I will try to update this post daily and/or as I receive new asks.

UPDATE 11/21/24: I have had to close my inbox because I can't keep up with messages. I'm so sorry, but I can't afford to donate to any more fundraisers at the moment. I will still reblog this post periodically to encourage people who can afford it to donate.

“ap gwilliam was the worst prime minister” doctor. babe. i know why you don’t tell your companions everything at once, but you’re really gonna tell them a bald-faced lie like that. your ex murdered a tenth of earth’s population and immediately turned the entire planet into a hellscape, there is some steep competition here

Harold Saxon faked first contact, murdered the US president-elect, and was immediately killed by his own wife. Overall positive record.

growing up as an imaginative single child, I loved to play with Barbies. I loved creating elaborate drama-filled storylines for them and I could keep at it for hours. there was one problem. I had like 15 thrift store Barbies and no Kens. I only had one Barbie-sized male doll and it was a collectible Elvis Presley doll and he was my favorite doll. I always did the Elvis voice when I was playing him but he had no relation to Elvis Presley otherwise. anyway, he had some crazy days. trapped on a scary planet where he is the only man in the world and half of the women there hate him. in a massive car accident and stranded in the woods with a girlfriend who had broken her foot and a crazy ex girlfriend who had stalked them there. kidnapped by Athena (one of my Barbie sized dolls was Athena, like, the goddess) and held captive by her while trying to go home to his 7 situationships. all of this happening to a guy who looks and sounds exactly like Elvis but is otherwise the quintessential everyman.

going to be saying this periodically forever now

Why is it referred to as coming out of the closet? 

It could be coming out of anything. What wasted potential.

Coming out of my cage and I’ve been doing just guys

you're so right hen

get mad. get rageful. debate all you like because im sending them to the death arena and you can't stop me

I love how all the notes are like "one of these is Just A Guy and the other one is a monster-fighting superhero with alien magic powers"

I think Steven would kill him but like. on accident. He’s not very used to fighting enemies that can’t recover from almost any wound. After, he would be left with the moral dilemma of whether he should bring him back to life though.

sometimes I think too hard about like. how the ability to record audio fundamentally changed how humans interact with music. can you imagine if the only time you ever heard music in your whole life was when you or another human being in your actual physical presence decided to create it. and 99.99% of the time that person was not a professional but just like your wife or your dad or your co-worker or church choir singing or playing whatever they happened to know. i honestly don't think we can fathom it

It’s incredible to think about and I think about it a lot. Music publishing took off about 140 years ago and suddenly the selection of music you might expect to hear in your life expanded from church music and local folk tunes, into the wider world of cosmopolitan “popular music,” these colorful pamphlets with gorgeous prints on the covers containing ragtime or “jass” or (musical terminology occluded due to racist slur) and suddenly the tavern with a piano in it might be playing any number of exotic songs and you could sit outside if you were young or a woman or inside if you were a man and listen to bangers like Shine On Harvest Moon or Roll On Prairie Moon or The Moon Got in My Eyes. People would frame sheet music covers as art, because they were. Three or four color process posters, basically, printed in the thousands— similar to the appeal of vinyl albums with something engaging you can look at while you think about the music. Traveling door-to-door or street corner sheet music salesman was a job you could have, and if you could sing or whistle the tunes on display it would increase your business

We went through a difficult day, there was shelling near our displacement site in Deir al-Balah. The situation here is tragic, although we survived the shelling, we did not escape hunger and the bitter cold. Food prices are very expensive, the price of a kilo of flour ranges from 6 dollar All the necessities of life are very expensive. Also, when it rains, water seeps into us and we are exposed to drowning, as happened the previous two days.

Yesterday the temperature was very low in America, it reached -11 degrees.

It was very cold, as my friends in America told me... ، I hope everyone feels warm and none of you get cold.

Meanwhile, you can imagine that the Palestinians in Gaza are also exposed to low temperatures, but the difference is that they live in tents and there are no ways to heat them or blankets to protect them from the cold.

My family is also in the same situation and most of them are sick because of the severe cold. I hope you can help us protect them from this severe nightmare ، To help my family from here
