Hello again Bluesky! I mostly use social media to crowdfund survival campaigns for people in Palestine and other afflicted areas of the world.

Are there any other fundraisers who would like to create a mutual share group? HMU!

😥 My dearest friend Iman in #Gaza still has not received any new d0nations to her #fundraising campaign.

Don't forget that there's a 💫£5 pledge on every amount. So £5 becomes £10!

Please help her today. gofund.me/a853e5c3

PAJU-Montreal aims to bring together people of Palestinian and Jewish backgrounds, as well as Montrealer of different origins.

We are united by our common wish for justice and peace to prevail in the Palestinian land that has been devastated by the aggression of the Israeli army.

Since everyone has left X, there's much less engagement on my fundraising posts there. I'll have to bring them here & to cursed Threads as well. Sorry if it's not the sweet weird content we're looking for. Millions of people still need urgent help & are largely being ignored. #Palestine #fundraising

TBR, the Canadian government is fit for the pit.

I'm a nerd (or was) for midlist sci-fi/fantasy. But I feel disconnected - have any authors taken a pro-Palestine stance? My former fave author who writes about badass queer hijabi fighters said nothing. So disappointing. Fiction needs honesty. Any punks or loudmouths to recommend?

In 2025, stop worrying about what counts and doesn’t count and just read it all! Physical books, e-books, audiobooks, manga, comics, web novels, fiction, non-fiction, fan-fiction, all of it! Reading is reading and it’s all out there just waiting for you!

I started a fund to centralize donations for a few families in Palestine. Please give. Some people are currently eating grass to survive. chuffed.org/project/1182...

As we enter the 14th month of Israel's relentless campaign against the Palestinian people, the situation for the 2.2 million people remaining has become increasingly dire. The near-total embargo on fo...

I have to help my eldest son advance 3 grades worth of French language competency by June 2025. I'm developing a tutoring curriculum and it's actually really fun.

I need to talk to a Rabbi... any anti-Zionist Rabbis or temples to recommend? Online or maybe even in or near #Montreal? #Judaism

I thought we had it solved but still blocked: Does anyone have a US bank account that can transfer to a #Palestinian bank account? A woman named Samah has been trying to get her GoFundMe $ for weeks. Three of us are trying to help but don't have banking capacity to send intl transfers easily.

I'm trying to help Samah, a mom of 2 in #Gaza, receive the funds from her #GoFundMe campaign. She needs someone with a UNITED STATES bank account. I can't help her the way she needs bc I'm in Canada. It's extremely urgent. Can someone help? C'mon, be financially punk rock...

I remember saying when I first got internet connection in like Y2K or whatever 'don't write anything online, even in an email, that you wouldn't post publicly' and I stand by that paranoia to this day.
A useful reminder that Bluesky posts are public—and even if we had private accounts (which we someday will!), that won't stop people in your circles from screenshotting and reposting. Be careful, friends, if your job or life requires it!
I say that because Elon Musk’s fascists are circulating more Bluesky screenshots now.
