So. 

I know we’re all terrified and devastated; I’ve seen this both on and off Tumblr. Please believe me when I say I understand completely, that so many of my friends and I have been feeling that same terror and devastation all day. Many of us on this website, myself included, are university students: we have all worked so hard to be admitted, and we have worked so hard for our qualifications and/or degrees. I can’t speak for everyone, but I know I have made so many leaps and bounds towards being fully out as a trans person while I’ve been here at university. We all had so many dreams and hopes for our futures, visions of the lives we wanted to lead, and the feeling of watching them disintegrate in the blink of an eye is indescribable. I understand, I really do.

But even in the midst of all this, I know we are lucky — privileged, even — to be American: nobody is frantically writing think-pieces on why our pain is acceptable or why it should simply be considered collateral damage; nobody is forcing us to humanize ourselves in a language we are unfamiliar with and declaring us robots or scammers if we fail to live up to their standards; the world gives us sympathy by default. 

My friend Basma (@basmaalghoul) does not have this privilege. Like me, she worked hard in university and majored in business administration; she even earned international certificates! Before the accelerated genocide, she had begun working as a makeup artist and hoped to open a large salon for women. But her dreams, too, have been stolen — along with those of her children: Toleen (8), Malak (7) and Kamal (4).

On top of the pain of having her dreams destroyed, Basma and her family have had to survive more than a year of bombing, starvation, disease and famine; she’s recently told me that there are no vegetables or cheese available on the market, and her children are all suffering from malnutrition as every child in Ghazzah is. To make matters worse, she’s also told me that Israel has banned supplies necessary for children, which has artificially driven the prices of these items to absurd heights: she’s told me that the price of Pampers is now $100.

This fundraiser is now her family's only lifeline. Winter is rapidly approaching; please help her keep her children warm. 

$4,693 USD / $5,065 USD [short-term goal] | (kr50,967 SEK / kr55,000 SEK [short-term goal])

Let’s get her to $4,696 USD (kr51,000 SEK) by the end of today!

A reminder to the "the American government wouldn't..." crowd. They have. They have made their own internment camps before. They have rounded up innocent citizens and immigrants before. The victims of which are still alive to this day and trying to share their stories with the world, they have been trying to warn us for a long time. George Takei (as seen above) is a famous example of this. He has written about his experiences time and time again, even publishing a book talking about his time in these camps. He may be famous now, but at the time he was just another kid forced from his home. To this day he still firmly dedicates himself to trying to educate and inform people, trying to spread awareness with his platform. The American Government can and will do terrible things. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise.
