While talking about Brianna and Nex, do not forget to also talk about Jacob Williamson, a young trans man, only 18, who was brutally murdered by someone who lured him in with the promise of a date.
Brianna was murdered when promised a fun evening to hang out with supposed friends
Nex was just trying to use the bathroom in school
Jacob was kidnapped and murdered with the promise of affection
And cis people still wonder why trans people feel safer with each other than with them
They always talk about protecting the children, but when children lose their lives, they push the blame on them. Saying they should have known better. Saying they should have acted normal. It's repulsive. May these three rest in peace.
I stg I posted this in reply to an ask, but for the life of me I can't find it again. (Click for full quality)
I'm Hanan Al-Salout, a Palestinian mother from Gaza 🇵🇸
Everything we depend on to survive has collapsed. Our home, my work, and my husband's job. Now we face hunger and cold, while constant bombing threatens our lives every moment. 😓
My little boy, who is 22 months old, is very hungry and cold. We have not had bread or milk for two days, as prices have become unbearable. A bag of flour costs $300, and milk costs $80.
There are days we go to sleep very hungry! 🥺
The flu weakened my child's emaciated body, and the lack of food caused my mother-in-law to suffer from severe anemia, leaving her bedridden unable to move.💔
I cannot describe the feeling of helplessness I experience every day, as I see hunger and disease surrounding my child and my family without having anything to offer them. 😢
We beg you, do not leave us facing this fate alone 🙏😥

We are enduring unimaginable destruction and desperately need your help to survive. 😭 Even a small donation can make a huge difference. Every single contribution is a spark of hope in this dark time. ✨

Help Us Survive This Winter: A Father’s Plea
My name is Mohammed, and I never imagined that one day I would have to write these words, asking for help to simply keep my family alive. I used to work as a painter and decorator, taking pride in providing for my family and raising my two boys, Arafa and Mohammed, with love and security. But everything changed overnight.
Our home, the place where we built memories, was destroyed in a bombing. The car I depended on to make a living was reduced to ashes. We were left with nothing. Now, my family—my wife, my parents, my brother Ahmed, and my boys—are crammed into a school near the Port of Gaza, a shelter that is no longer a place of learning, but a refuge for the displaced.
The constant sound of gunfire and bombs haunt us day and night. Each explosion shakes the ground beneath us and tears at our spirits. My children, Arafa and Mohammed, once so full of life, now cower in fear. They have nightmares and cry in their sleep. The trauma they are enduring has stolen their childhood. My heart breaks every time I see the fear in their eyes, knowing that I can’t make it go away.
We are living in survival mode. There is no money for food. No fuel to stay warm as winter creeps closer. No medicine to treat the constant sicknesses that come with our living conditions. And no warm clothing to protect my children from the freezing nights that are just around the corner. I watch them shiver, hungry and cold, and I feel utterly powerless as a father.
We’ve lost everything, and I have no means to provide for my family. We’ve reached a point where we cannot survive without help. I never thought I’d be in this position—having to rely on the generosity of strangers to keep my family alive. But I am here, pleading with you, because the alternative is unthinkable.
Please, if you can spare anything at all, it could mean the difference between life and death for us. Your donation, no matter how small, can help us buy food so my children won’t go to bed hungry. It can help us find fuel to keep warm in the brutal winter months ahead. It can provide medicine for my boys and warm clothing to protect them from the cold.
I know the world is full of need right now, but I hope you can find it in your heart to help my family. We are just one of many who have lost everything, but to us, your kindness could change our world. It could give my children a chance to feel safe again, to heal from the trauma they are carrying, and to survive the months ahead.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for anything you can do to help. Your generosity will not only provide us with the necessities we need to survive but also restore a bit of hope in a time when it feels like all hope has been lost.
With all my heart, thank you.

AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.

Hello everyone ❤️,
My name is Majed, and my family and I are trying to rebuild our lives after the war destroyed everything we had, including our home.😔 My children are studying at university, trying to build a better future, but how can they succeed without a safe place to call home?🏠😥
Unfortunately, the campaign is moving slowly, and we still need your help. All we need is a secure home to protect my children and restore the safety we've lost.🙏🏻🇵🇸
As Christmas 🎄 approaches, a time of hope and love, we dream of a safe home to celebrate together. Your support, no matter how small, makes all the difference.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas filled with peace and love.✨❤️
