Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

Tareq has a super informative fundraiser about his life in Gaza (including a video) that I recommend checking out
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Tareq. Tareq was a graphic designer for a laptop company before this. He’s lost his home and job and is struggling to survive after being displaced a dozen times with his wife Samar and his three children Sham, 7, Masa, 4 and little Wateen, 1

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Baraa. Baraa is the mother of 3 children Masa, 6, Ibrahim, 4 and Maha, 7 months. Tragically Maha was killed after a nearby bombing caused gasses to overwhelm her little lungs. Masa is in the hospital because of kidney issues from malnutrition.

Before the war Moaz wanted to be an architect or an engineer but after watching so many people die and get injured he wants to be a doctor- surely seems Gaza needs them and helping him seems like a good investment
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Moaz. Moaz is 20 and is trying to complete his studies for university where he hopes to be a doctor. He’s been displaced and is living in a tent with his parents, grandmother and siblings Mahna, 25, Mahmoud, 22, Youseff, 16 and Ali, 12.

I really enjoyed this! Loved the characters and the page compositions are chef's kiss. I loved the ways that gender and family were conceived of, this is "The Future Liberals Want".
It's my birthday tomorrow and my only request is that you read/review/tell a friend to read my book about getting a second chance with the boy who got a way, fumbling through young adulthood, and of course, the horrors..! Strange Bedfellows! www.arielries.com/books/

🎨 I’m forever obsessed with the tension created when a work returns the gaze of the viewer. If I’m ever not doing that- assume I’ve been bodysnatched.

I’m addressing this in a more comprehensive way later but right now I am going to share some lovely people from Gaza who are getting ignored because Bluesky wants a three ring circus to distract everyone from their reprehensible policies around the voices of Palestinians

it's so gutting to see ahmad and his family and all palestinians be denied space to ask for help. first the dehumanising torture of the occupation, then the added slight of armchair detectives accusing them of being scammers and bots. ahmad just wants to tell you his story gofund.me/554482a7

Also because likely this letter is going to bring out a lot of people with questions about accounts from Gaza, here is a link to my FAQ about these accounts, this and much more information can be found in my pinned post. I also am more than willing to answer any good faith questions you may have.
I am going to try to keep adding accounts here as I work through the Palestinian accounts here.

I am going to make this 🧵 to answer as many common questions about these accounts as well as other Gazan GoFundMes as I can so put a 📌 in it if you need a central location for these questions.
I’m going to make individual posts for the Palestinian accounts I’m boosting today so they don’t get lost in a thread but if you are looking for them all in one place I’ll link them here 🔽

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first.

You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here:
