No only around 2.9% + 30 cent charge on each individual donation. So when you donate 25 you pay 29 something like that. If for some reason you don't want to donate to the GoFundMe but are able to donate in general I can check with Banah if it's okay to send her PayPal email to you directly with a dm, which I have sent her money through before early in the war an which went through fine.

I don't know what to say, so I will simply unload some of my heart and just be honest. This is an attempted GoFundMe for a long time pen pal friend I have in Gaza. She is a very beautiful person that I have corresponded with for years. I have been the only one whose donated despite sharing with the few friends I have and some family , a cousin of mine will donate soon. It has been up for a month with no donations in part because GoFundMe kept shafting it but I have now fixed it. I could barely muster the will to write about something so unbearable in such a dry and clinical way. I have no illusions that this will achieve the 10,000 goal but one must look towards the sun. I will be messaging popular Twitter users to try and share this later.

Sorry if this isn't the most moving post for something so important . I did landscaping work today an had a couple of beers after just to gain the courage to post this despite mostly being sober lately so I can read books more.

Please watch Balaha's two beautiful short films linked in the GoFundMe that I uploaded to YouTube, they were shot with an old iPhone. And also please let me know if my GoFundMe description is too personal and off putting. https://gofund.me/7365562f

Just want to say I am overwhelmed with all the generous people who have donated, it means so much to Balaha an her family. I'm going to repost once in /c/Mutualaid, after that I will just let the post ride you all have been so great! And thank you for the bumps too!

Remember if you can't donate (which is of course very understandable) then please please send to friends and family an repost on social media ! That also helps immensely.

I will of course repost a thank you message from Balaha an her family here once the funds are donated after I feel like the GoFundMe has reached its maximum potential, which will be July 1st at the latest but will certainly be sent much sooner then that, even if we cant get enough for Her an her family Members to cross through rafah (which seems to be 7,000 dollar's at the vert least - damn those shamless smugglers an the Egyptian Junta! -) the money still helps immensely for what comes after the war as well as buying food stuffs if worse comes to worse.

Thank you all again so much :,). I'm going to remake a Twitter account later today an be dm'ing semi big accounts on Twitter to share, it's a long shot but I think it's worth going for it! If you have a Twitter account (especially if it has a following of any kind) please feel free to do the same! <3

I will thank you my friend <3. An I hope it isn't inappropriate to say as it is self involved but I will be posting here more again in the future.

As far as the satanic ARPA/DARPA internet goes this place has always been a relatively warm light. Thanks peoples.

Okay I will change it to that. Thanks for the engagement truly! If I I/we/the world can even do a tiny bit for this person an her family it would mean so much. But I know we are all funding strapped an there is much pain to go around.

Edit: Unless my brain no worky (which it doesn't) I guess you can't change the post /c/ so I will let it cook so to speak, then repost tomorrow in mutual_aid

Really ? When I click on it it works. What happens with it ? I just used the share button on GoFundMe and pasted the link at the bottom.

Also the intro of the GoFundMe with "I'm this cracker interested in the middle east" is very cringe I know but putting up something about yourself helps show GoFundMe that its legit.

So I've been talking to a nice attractive lady and we've been flirting on and off and setting up a time to get together at her place , now I'm not stupid so with a hangout like that and the way we've been flirting I knew sex or something akin was in the cards. Then she says she wants to start an onlyfans and said we should try and make a vid (and that she's never done it before) and I thought :wut: at first and then said yes and played it off. She also seems to be open to something more then a hookup cause she still talks about wanting to get to know each other more and maybe have something so you can imagine why I was a little surprised.

I'm not judgmental and not totally opposed to the idea (don't want this to be any sort of struggle sessions/debate about onlyfans and sex work please). To be honest though I'm a little worried about "performing" with this new pressure 😅. Any advice ? If I like this person and don't just want sex should I say we should wait? Anyone have a similar experience? Part of me wonders why I'm even posting this but yeah what ya'll think Hex users 🤐.

That too. Hell I've been to too many protest that aren't even popular or radical enough to have the police even respond lol. It's important to remember that protest in the modern America context are largely performative. Put simply, most protest are nothing but a parade and or a riot, but it's still something.

Can't do it unless you touch grass. You'll never feel better body chills[if you have them] then when attending a real protest, meeting or having an actual in person struggle sessions with a comrade. Outside is the only way. Outside is the only praxis.

 

I'm consurned. Haven't posted in awhile and I've noticed especially lately everyone's a :LIB: except me . What happened? Haven't posted in months, but wow check ya'll selves . Omg like, I've been doing so much real organizing unlike u libs. I swear ugh . I'm not online . YOU ARE .
