Not a single sip of water or bite of food has reached two million Gazans for 24 days. We are now experiencing a true famine before your eyes. What awaits this world? @mommunism.bsky.social

Friends I would like to share with you a compilation of fundraisers for people I have connected with in Gaza who need our help. No other help is forthcoming and the situation in the north is especially disastrous. 🧵

Bahaa and his family are living in a small tent on the beach of Khan Younis. They fled with nothing but their clothes, their son and their phones. We have set them up for winter, but they need food - if you have a small amount to spare, then please donate here: tinyurl.com/yu7nkzuz

read this and then if you feel helpless or sad or determined or anything, go find one of the many, many fundraisers by Gazans and help them. Just do one thing, help one person. Help more if you can, but whatever you do is something!

I’ve been talking to Hayat, whose family is trapped in Gaza and trying to get out. If the state of the world makes you feel helpless, know that you can help and share Hayat and her family, no matter how much or how little. gofund.me/d1930807

I had someone try to sell me rare books that had been stored in a garage that had recently been part of major floods. Kept asking for prices that were not 'this is already pulped, please throw out.'
