Free Dr Abu Safiya Israel has Gaza’s top paediatrician and around 90 other Palestinian medics in military prisons. Join the global call for their freedom!

'They killed his son. They bombed his hospital. They blocked the supplies he used to treat children screaming in pain.

But he wouldn’t stop saving lives – until Israeli forces imprisoned and reportedly tortured him.'

Six families & a displacement camp are still in life & death conditions. We can and we must help. Against the complacency that power is trying to plant in us.

Help with: food (still a famine, no aid), winter & newborn supplies, shelter, emergency healthcare: chuffed.org/project/hope...

This is scheduled and I’m offline for health, so your shares help extra.

Six families, mostly kids, are still struggling to survive, and are entirely reliant on us. So if we lose attention or seriousness? Food, shelter, emergency healthcare, WINTER & BABY SUPPLIES: chuffed.org/project/hope...

Saving lives on the frontline in Palestine - help Maha My name is Louisa and I'm raising money for my dear friend Maha and her family in Gaza.

Among all the horror of Gaza, here is some happy news… Maha’s son is getting married next year. They want to raise money for the wedding on top of next month’s rent and food, as well as winter clothing. You can support them by sharing/donating.

Omar Sakr &
Safdar Ahmed
NIGHTMARE SEQUENCE
Introduction by George Abraham

My pick is Omar Sakr and Safdar Ahmed's The Nightmare Sequence (UQP). In a year marked by global levels of violence, both discursive and physical, Sakr and Ahmed use poetry and graphic art to express anger, truth-telling and tenderness.
They remind readers that we humans are all in this together - and though "History is an angel with seven faces / All of them are turned away from us", we can turn towards each other.
Jen Webb is distinguished professor emerita of creative practice, University of Canberra.

Fun fact: The Nightmare Sequence was mentioned in The Conversation’s Best Books Of 2025, thanks to Jen Webb. Another fun fact: this is my first book released in Aus, UK, and the US in the same year and so far it’s gotten zero reviews in mainstream papers and outlets.

It’s a great podcast (Bold Politics)… reassuringly Zack Polanski is a rare host who knows how to listen deeply and if he disagrees he does it intelligently and respectfully. Very well worth a listen even if you’re not a Greens voter

bsky is now the only way any of these funds are getting support - ppl on mastodon have stopped sharing (dont let it it prevent you from trying; personally… i made enemies, lol), & my reach on the bird app is highly variable / usually just other people in need

so i really appreciate all you do 💪🏾

Any and all boldness. It keeps people alive.

Six families and a camp are struggling under the occupation’s unceased everything. This is a genuine way to help with weekly survival needs, such as food in ongoing famine, newborn supplies, and healthcare.

Please contribute if you're able or share the original if you're not.

Note that the most effective way to get help for people is to directly ask people you know

Don't you think the public has a reasonable expectation that the Commissioner of the NACC being paid well above $800,000 would consider this a full time job and not also seek to freelance outside of it?

A banner that is light green. In the background is a green painted texture, with a black ink drawing of a laughing dove as seen between a fence or two walls. The title is dark green and says, "Help art therapist Ahmed stay housed." In the bottom corner are some green paint strokes, over which the text reads, "Give: tinyurl.com/HelpAhmedF. Accountability: tiny.cc/HelpAhmed.”

FINAL 7 HOURS. Birds for Ahmed, because his dream is liberation for the children of Palestine. All he needs from us is a little help each month to stay housed—stateless with no right to work, like all Gaza refugees in Egypt, while he waits for a student visa.

FINAL 3 HOURS to cover rent for a genocide survivor & stateless refugee from Gaza!

Ahmed doesn’t deserve help just because his work—treating child trauma in Gaza—is noble. We owe everything to Palestinians and genocide doesn’t end, but rather continues, after exile.

Now than more ever we need to support people on the ground to survive & provide for their neighbors—and learn from their principled consistency instead of getting complacent.

Now only 21 HOURS—keep a Palestinian educator & art therapist housed another month!

Ahmed didn’t flee Gaza for his own safety; he left to get his Master’s so he can return and treat children’s trauma from this genocide. It’s an honor to help him on this journey.
