2024 May this new year be given to you, freely, as the wing- soared ease of birds. May it be received as cleanly-breathed and serene as frightless flight.                                                 K Weber *”freely” was contributed by @tomsnarsky.bsky.social more collabs soon!⭐️ #poetry

30.12.25 Frozen pebbles. The half-moon still visible. Willows bending towards a new year.

It's not much, but for folks needing some art for graphics for survival funds, I've dropped a bunch of illustrations in here 💛 drive.google.com/drive/folder... I wish I could return the favor more—so many people are helping with the giving circle. Email [email protected] if I can help you

ICYMI I’m starting a book club in January on my Patreon. Membership is 1$. We’re very cool people. Come join us! www.patreon.com/cw/soniasula...

Four women, two toddlers, and a little boy with medical emergencies (lupus complications, hepatitis, surgery aftercare, and more) need help with the cost of medicine, nutritious food, water, hospital stays. And only this link. Anything helps: chuffed.org/project/hope...

Here is the list again for those able to #give to others. If you have the funds, I HIGHLY recommend HEATED BLANKETS as donated items. People are struggling to pay #utilities and a heated blanket is cheaper than running the heat throughout a house all night. #Give #FoodBanks #FoodPantry #Community

I have just pledged 50 EUR to The Giving Circle. Can you please match me, donate and share? Thank you, thank you, thank you.

GoFundMe Update: Thank you to everyone who has been so kind and supportive. In December, my dentist developed a treatment plan that will take about six months; because of bone loss, additional procedures may be needed. See the full update below. gofund.me/a4473b96d

New today DEC WORKS: 2 visual poems & 2 sound works by Annick Yerem. Beautiful evocations of pain, the medical system, #disability, #chronicillness -- what many of us endure, quietly or in complex fashion, at the margins & outside abelism. @missyerem.bsky.social icefloepress.net/2025/12/17/v...

Half a day left... I can’t fix the total disappearance of support for ALL survival funds... I can and will, however, stay put and try to get help for six families & a camp. Latest needs are emergency healthcare for three women. CLICK WEEKLY chuffed.org/project/hope...

A ceasefire is (sadly) not the equivalent of peace. It also does not make food, tents, warmth magically appear. You are needed. Please help.

Let´s reach at least 600 by the end of the week! A (fragile) ceasefire does not mean that people suddenly have everything at their disposal. Tents, food, water, everything is still needed. This is the one thing we can do, provide tangible help. It´s a vetted campaign. chuffed.org/project/mawa...

Come and join us! It will be a wonderful evening. You are welcome to join, even if you can´t donate right now. This is also about sharing space and listening.

Great article by our friend Sarah Clancy, who was kidnapped by apartheid Israel in international waters trying to get aid into Gaza. Our governments' complicity in the genocide of Palestinians compels us to act in all the different ways we can. #FreePalestine www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

13 hours left 🚨 please share! We’ve been able to help SIX FAMILIES flee from siege & bombardment in Gaza City—only because of YOU. But we’re losing momentum, while time runs out for the remaining two families. Don’t break the bank. We chip away and share to reach those who can give. 195/1000 😥

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday. Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

Obada has two small kids, he’s not good at marketing and now his internet it terrible so I rarely hear from him www.gofundme.com/f/nrak2-help...

💔

Makes me smile every time I go to this place for a swim - there’s still quite a few of these around Wellington!

Please share: 14 hours left! These families are still with us—don’t take that for granted. Their tomorrow is unwritten. Death is not inevitable. We must invest all hope in their lives Help them escape the invasion of Gaza City. Anything helps. 87/1000

buytickets.at/sdhepress/18... Please join us on 5th October at 7 pm BST! We are reading to raise funds for displaced families in Mawasi. Tickets are free, donations are encouraged and needed. If you can´t donate right now, you are welcome to join! Please share the links❤️ chuffed.org/project/mawa...

Please help if you can!

It’s three kids & their dad. They aren’t part of the giving circle but they’re dear, dear friends of the folks in the giving circle. They need evacuation—about £2,500—but they only get about £50/week. Learn more & give: linktr.ee/ahmadskids

If you have any questions about the transparency of this campaign and others, please just ask The amount that you see was raised over the last 24 months for 11 people and paid out on a regular basis. This is NOT the amount that Mahmoud has at his disposal right now!

Video descr: Annick, a white woman with dark curls, wearing a yellow T-shirt and a colorful kuffiyah, is speaking directly to the camera. Talking points are: there are many ways to vet fundraisers. The amount you see raised is the money raised over almost 24 months, often for large families.

Please watch this. There are still too many misconceptions floating around about personal fundraisers and that is one reason a lot of people aren´t receiving the tangible help that is needed right now. As my friend says: "Gaza is not a charity". These campaigns are to meet basic needs.

255/500 by tonight! Thank you so much to @janeburn.bsky.social for this beautiful painting of two Palestinian sunbirds. And to you, reading this: you can help. Please, please do.

ok i owe you 20 poems and I'm still doing this all week folks! because at midnight we start again on the second half of the evacuation funds... that's right, this is the first half. but we hold tight onto hope and keep trying

🚨 We’re in the final 5 hours 🚨 Our giving circle was never meant to last this long—let alone exist. But this is our project right now: empower several families to flee Gaza City. Every dollar means transportation & shelter (and hope). We try, we try, we try. 4835/5000

In case you were wondering how serious Bluesky is about feedback, they have hidden multiple replies to this post demanding they stop banning Palestinians. Go and sort by replies with the most likes. The top result has hundreds fewer than this one last I checked. bsky.app/profile/cpm5...

It all feels so cripplingly hopeless. Yet there are things we can do. Like donating to charities doing their best to combat Israeli barbarism by ensuring food, clothing, shelter and essential medical supplies reach those Palestinians most desperately in need (which, at this point, is most of them).

Never thought I'd live to see the days when the world's most powerful nations would decide the best response to an ally's systematic starvation of a neighbouring people is to fully enable this ongoing cruelty by way of political weaselling, resolute inaction, and ceaseless arms sales. #shame
