**The Long Walk Home**
After 15 months of uncertainty, the announcement of a ceasefire came like a distant echo, a brief glimpse of hope amidst the chaos. For me, it meant the chance to return home—to Gaza City, her heart still beating for the streets, the people, the life that had been torn apart.
With only a small bag in hand, I’m, along with family and hundreds of others, began the long, grueling walk from the southern parts of Gaza, where I and my family had sought refuge. The roads, once familiar, were now filled with debris and destruction. There were no vehicles, no taxis to ease the journey. Only the sound of footsteps, the soft sobs of children, and the occasional murmur of prayers.
The scorching heat made the walk unbearable. We trudged through the ruins, each step more painful than the last. Ten kilometers. It felt like an eternity. I feet were raw, my body exhausted, but the thought of home, of the family and friends I had left behind, kept my moving forward.
As we passed what used to be neighborhoods, I couldn’t help but gasp. Buildings that had once stood tall were now nothing more than crumbled shells of concrete, twisted metal, and broken glass.
Where were the houses, the shops, the familiar faces?
We passed by what used to be a lively market, now reduced to ashes and shattered stone. A small boy in front of mine was crying, his face covered in dirt. His mother, too tired to comfort him, merely whispered soothing words, though they held little weight in a world so broken.
My thoughts drifted back to my friends. Jameel, who had been my closest companion since childhood, was nowhere to be found. The war had taken so much from us. Families, homes, lives—everything seemed to be swallowed by the endless violence
My friends we still need your support to help us face these challenges and rebuild what’s been lost.

🚨 Help Save Shada’s Family and Baby Adam! 🚨
My name is Shada Kassab, and I am a 24-year-old mother living in Gaza. Every day is a fight for survival for me, my husband Hussein, and our baby boy Adam, who is just five months old.
Our lives have been turned upside down by war. My home has been reduced to rubble, and my husband lost his water truck, which was our only source of income. We’ve been forced to evacuate twice—from Deir el Balah to the Nuseirat camp—and now, we live in constant fear of what the future holds.
To make matters worse, Adam was born with clubfoot and urgently needs surgery. The cost for his treatment and specialized medical boots is at least $3000, but this surgery isn’t even possible in Gaza.
I recently graduated as a nurse, and I dream of building a better life for my family. But to do that, we must leave Gaza and start over in safety.
💔 I need your help to save my family and give Adam a future. Even a small donation 5$ can bring us closer to safety, and if you can’t donate, sharing our story means the world to us.
I dream of living in safety, of seeing Adam grow up healthy, and of building a better life for us all. Please don’t give up on us. Your kindness can make all the difference.
❤️ Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support and compassion give us strength to keep going.
Urgent & Emergency Help 🚨🚨🚨
Hello my friends 🤍🫂
I am Fathi Alhaj from Gaza, Palestine, a sales account manager and father of two beautiful kids, Yamen and Boody. I am the sole provider for my elderly parents, wife, and children. We have lost my father’s house, our home, my car, and my job, and we’ve been displaced for hundreds of days until now during the genocide in Gaza.
In September 2024, after a year of genocide, we also lost our savings, which led us to create this campaign. Ana, who organized my GoFundMe, is my best friend her wonderful family hosted me in Seattle in 2013 when I was representing Palestine in the US during the MEPI program.
Unexpectedly, after October 7th, my life turned upside down. We were forced to become seekers of life amidst all the death, destruction, and darkness in Gaza. We lost everything—our beautiful and successful life, our dreams, and everything we had 💔💔💔💔👨👩👧👧
This campaign has helped us survive until now, meeting our basic needs for food, water, medicine for my elderly parents, and rent for our apartment in our 6th shelter. Our primary goal is to rebuild our lives when we are able to evacuate 🤍🤍🤍🙏

Another Talk at my Irish College About Gaza and my Family There Reopened My Wounds

Giving a recent guest talk at my Irish college about the horrors my family and I have endured, the war, its aftermath, and the hellish conditions of life in Gaza, was beyond heart-shattering. Speaking about it felt like performing surgery on myself without anesthesia, reopening wounds, and bleeding in the process.
What pains me the most is the unimaginable suffering my family continues to endure—living in constant fear and uncertainty, unsure whether the war will resume or if the people of Gaza will be forcibly displaced from Gaza.
Some of the slides I displayed:
I also spoke about how the war has left Gaza in ruins, where the bones of Palestinian victims lie scattered across the land. My family, like so many others, has been living without a single hour of electricity for months, their lives completely shattered.
As I spoke to Irish students, my heart ached for my family. All I wish for is to reunite with them here in Ireland, where we can finally live a peaceful, normal life. And I remain determined to make this dream a reality.
But I cannot do this alone—I am only human. I urge you to support my campaign in any way you can. Whether by donating, sharing, or simply spreading the word, your help can save my family’s lives and future. That is my ultimate number one mission.
As of 15/2/2025, we are almost at 70% of our final fundraising goal, and we expect the Rafah crossing into Egypt to reopen in the coming weeks. This could be our last chance.
Unfortunately, funds have slowed down at a critical time, and the future of Gaza looks bleak and uncertain.
Please share, donate, reblog, and help us reunite in Ireland where we can Finally live safely.
Tagging for reach! Please reblog my post and help reach our final goal and finally reunite. <3

To whom do I complain about my child’s weakness and my crying for fear of losing her? I feel that she does not want to cling to life and that I cannot provide her full treatment or even the potassium requirements to enable its regularity in the blood and kidneys.
Please, I need youdonation urgently Conditions are still very difficult in Gaza and there are no signs of a safe, warm life💔

It'd be funny as hell if Siffrin is good at some random instrument and just doesn't remember. Even funnier if it's more than one.
Like imagine the party is traveling and for some reason Sif gets ahold a guitar and is like "oh wait" and plays it fucking masterfully and the rest of the party are just "????????? When???? How??????" And Siffrin's just like "idk". And then another time they come across like a piano or something and Siffrin performs a perfect sonata and everyone is so amazed but also so confused because. Why can you do that buddy.

Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem
Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao
Trump got absolutely dumpstered in court in the last few days.
His and Elon's program to pay people to retire early has been halted by a temporary restraining order issued by District Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. of the US District Court, District of Massachusetts in American Federation of Government Employees et al v. Charles Ezell (acting Acting Director of the Office of Personnel Management). This temporary order only lasts until they have a hearing on Monday to determine whether this program is constitutional.
13 state attorneys general sued to prevent Elon from accessing personal data about government employees and citizen clients of their agencies, leading to Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in the case Alliance for Retired Americans v. Scott Bessent (Trump's Secretary of the Treasury) ordering the Department of Justice to ensure no unauthorized persons, including Elon and his team, have access to the Labor Department's database of information on tax filings, employment, and the like.
Two separate judges have ruled that Trump's executive order trying to eliminate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge John Coughenour of the western Washington district, a REAGAN appointee (!), said, "It has become ever more apparent that to our president the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals. The rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain." The other judge, US District Judge Deborah Boardman of Maryland, ruled that the executive order cannot be implemented until she has had a chance to rule on the merits of the case.
US District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth in DC paused Trump’s restrictions on transgender women being incarcerated in women’s prisons and federal prisons providing gender-affirming medical treatment, after inmates (!) sued to block the policy.
US District Judge Loren L. Alikhan of DC broadly blocked the Trump administration’s memo halting almost all federal assistance.
That's six rulings scrapping five of Trump's major policy operations in the past four days (Feb 3rd through the 6th, 2025).
That's news worth celebrating!

Hello, I am Amina, I am writing to you from the most miserable place in the world and I feel deeply grateful to all of you. Your support means a lot to me and my family.
I strongly appeal to you to continue sharing our campaign with your friends, family and acquaintances.
