🚨 Legit Fundraisers for Gaza 🚨

Hey folks, I’ve got a friend who’s in touch with people on the ground in Gaza, and she passed along these vetted fundraisers. I know there’s a ton of links flying around—some real, some sketchy as hell. Not throwing shade, just keeping it 100: these ones are confirmed legit.

💸 Evacuation Fund for a Family in Gaza (vouched for by Hamza)

This isn’t some feel-good slacktivism bullshit—this is direct support for people surviving genocide. Every cent counts.

More links coming as I get them. If you’ve got ones that are actually legit, send them my way and I’ll update.

Solidarity is a verb.

Part of maintaining a #nursing liscence in canada is ensuring you're continuing and maintaining your education.

If there's anything I've learnt, the best teachers are those who have experience

So why is it so fucking hard to find a #gerontology course that mentions even consulting with seniors? Like yeah, incare about the research and yeah I care about lived work experience, but at the end of the day if your gerontology course wasn't developed in coordination with actual aging people then I really, really doubt it's going to be useful or helpful.

It was the same thing when I was in #DirectSupport. Finding courses that were taught by or built in consultation with people with disabilities was nightmare difficulty.

People like me who go into support professions already need to be very conscious that we are there to support individuals and not let our own assumptions hinder that. The education we receive should be built by the people we are here to support, not for them without their input. Any system built for someone is not going to adequately meet their needs.
