I don't often ask for this, but this out of urgency.
This post is on behalf of Nader @abdalsalam1990, as I have a large following which could help it get traction.
Nader is 17 years old and his family is in Gaza facing dire circumstances. Food is scarce, prices are high, and there are shortages in water. They, like countless others suffering during this war, have already had to relocate many times, and their home is destroyed. They do not have enough money to safely relocate right now, or a stable source of income, as places of work have been destroyed.
Nader had just lost their uncle to the vile Israeli occupiers, and they're desperately asking for donations. Any amount of money can help Nader and his family escape this destruction.
I have donated myself and I know a lot of my followers can afford to donate at least something. It's not a hard donation process, so I hope you take a moment of your day to show some support.

Even the most simple items are astronomically expensive in Gaza right now.
Here is Mohamed’s shopping list:
1 kilo of meat $85
20 L of water $25
pajamas for his child $45
Mohamed is trying to raise $120 today or ASAP
and weekly he needs upwards of $400
Mohamed is vetted by associated with his brother Mohiy (see @mohamed-resh0’s page for details)
Tumblr, please make sure to show your NPD mutuals and friends love in these trying times (living in a world where Psych2Go exists).
I am Nevin Al-Sir, I live in Gaza, I am 27 years old, I used to work as an accountant in an accounting firm, I am married and have a child, I was also pregnant during the war, the war on Gaza, and when the evacuation order came from our area in Gaza, we fled through the corridor that the occupation lied to us about and the safe corridor was a disaster. We walked on foot, the longest distance I have ever walked in my life. I was displaced to a tent with the rest of my family, and it was very difficult, tiring and exhausting. Every time there was an evacuation in the southern areas, I was forced to evacuate again to a worse tent. Then I gave birth to my child in a field hospital because the hospitals were out of service. I gave birth to my son in the winter, the cold and the war together, which did not destroy my house and my tent. Now we live in a tent, me, my mother, my father, my husband, my brothers, my sisters and their children, and I need your support to try to survive.

here's how they work!
first of all, most of your internet traffic is already encrypted via TLS (Transport Layer Security). Things that aren't encrypted are usually videogames or less important applications.
a VPN encrypts traffic between your computer and the VPN server you're using.
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) sits in the middle of that transaction.
cue the MS paint diagram
Without a VPN:
With a VPN:
the traffic between your VPN server and the rest of the internet is not encrypted any further.
things that VPNs are good for:
bypassing geo-blocking
bypassing website blocks set up by your ISP
obscuring network traffic from your ISP
things that VPNs are not good for:
browsing the internet without having your activity logged. every company that gives internet service logs the activity, it's half of how they make sure they're not being hacked.
hiding information from the government. VPN providers WILL bend to subpoenas, they WILL turn over logs of your network activity.
cybersecurity. VPNs can't save you once the traffic is between them and the final destination. they don't analyze your traffic to detect and stop hackers, they don't add any encryption where it matters.
VPNs are not a shortcut to security. you cannot pay 15 dollars a month to forgo all responsibility for your own digital privacy. do your research, use a password manager, stay safe.
my friends i hope you find this information useful. you have been sold a lie. remember to show extreme skepticism to youtube sponsorships and journalism websites which sing their praises.
sources: i have a certificate iv in cybersecurity
someone tagged one of my fundraising posts with "cw palestine". there are no photos on my post, no graphic descriptions. just people's names and how far they are from their goals. even if i had included photos or recounted suffering in intricate detail, how dare you? how fucking dare you put a content warning on people BEGGING for your attention when your tax dollars sponsor their destruction? no one can turn away and still claim a conscience.
here are more palestinians who have reached out to me in the past week.

people act like just acknowledging oppression exists is the same as going around and shooting every person on earth in the head point blank
things should be easier for trans women.
