“while people are starving, wealth is a crime. I am not willing to argue. if you are hungry, no laws apply. glass breaks easily. weapons can be made from anything. crime should not go unpunished. the meaning of royalty it too can be killed”

You should be proud of yourself for getting by, even if you think you’re just barely managing. That’s still admirable and something to be proud of.

Important Request: if anyone in the general Paris area has seen a large black dog wandering unattended somewhere in the vicinity of Rue Saint-Honoré, please inform us. The dog in question poses no danger and is in fact quite well trained, but its prompt return is necessary for, let's just say, the capability and capacity of one of our important representatives.

It breaks my heart to see how underrated pigeons are. The fact that we had literally domesticated them, making them absolutely dependent on us and now that we've abandoned them, we treat them poorly when they try to coexist with us. It's our responsibility for how they have adapted, how they can't build nests and how they try to find food wherever we are. Please be nice to pigeons

Rest is a requirement.

Trauma takes a heavy toll on the body's energy reserves. To constantly be in a state of fight, flight, fawn, freeze, to be stressed out so often and so hard, it's exhausting.

And when you're that tired, even the most minor of tasks feel like scaling a mountain.

You aren't lazy, you're struggling. You're fighting against the toll your trauma takes.

You need to let yourself rest. Rest, and don't blame yourself for needing it.

Look, we joke a lot, but really, "you were born evil, wretched, worse than the scum of the earth, and it took killing a god to make you salvageable, so now you'd better be grateful to that god and thank him 10,000 times a day for it and fill your thoughts with him 24/7 and abide by the letter of his every word, lest you suffer unimaginable torture for all of eternity" is a truly horrendous thing to believe about yourself and other people

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS CONTINUES FOR THE 204TH DAY AS ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES BOMB MORE CIVILIAN HOMES

On the 204th day of "Israel's" ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 4 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of 32 civilians, mostly women and children, while another 69 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that Gaza's Ministry of Health, along with the entirety of the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip, have been pummeled by the Israeli occupation's aggression, causing extensive damage to the systems of monitoring the deaths of Palestinians in the Israeli genocide, and are no longer capable of keeping an accurate tally of the number of civilians killed.

Many of those killed in Israeli airstrikes remain buried under the rubble and are unable to be recovered due to continued Zionist aggression, which, along with extensive damage to local infrastructure, has left the official tally of Palestinians killed grossly undercounted.

Meanwhile, in the United States, protests continue on University campuses across the country, with tens of thousands of students demonstrating to call for divestment and sanctions against the Israeli entity.

In response to these protests, two American Congressman, one Democrat and one Republican, have introduced a bipartisan bill to force colleges to allow supervision by an official "antisemitism" monitor on campus.

The official name for the bill is "COLOMBIA" (College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability) Act.

Colleges which are accused of "allowing antisemitism to fester" would have a monitor appointed by the Secretary of Education who would supervise actions taken by universities to tamp down "antisemitic" sentiments.

"Failure to comply the monitorship would result in a loss of Federal funds," a press release by the offices of Congressmember Ritchie Torres, a cosponsor of the bill, said.

The second cosponsor of the COLOMBIA protest-suppression bill is Rockland County Republican, Mike Lawler of New York.

In further news from Gaza, the Ministry of Health made an announcement on Saturday stating that all of the citizens of the Gaza Strip are drinking unsafe water, putting the Palestinian population at risk of disease and death.

The Ministry pointed out that the public health laboratory has long been shut down due to the Zionist aggression, and the ministry remains incapable of examining drinking water in the Gaza Strip.

The Ministry also slammed the Israeli occupation's blocking of chlorine from entering the enclave, leaving the Health Ministry unable to treat drinking water in Gaza, forcing the entire civilian population to drink unsafe water and putting their lives at risk.

Gaza's Ministry of Health also said the suffering of Gaza's population is compounded by the difficulty of obtaining water following the Israeli occupation's destruction of Gaza's desalinization plants.

In Beit Lahiya for instance, in the northern Gaza Strip, the city's mayor, Alaa Al-Attar, reported that the Israeli occupation army has destroyed 70% of water wells in the city, along with 50% of the city's sewage pumps, and has destroyed more than 80km of water and sewage networks, resulting in a humanitarian catastrophe for the local population.

In further tragic news, an infant who's life was saved after being removed from her mother's womb her death in an Israeli airstrike, has died herself from complications.

According to several reports in the local Palestinian media, as well as an Al-Jazeera report, the infant baby, named Sabreen al-Rouh Jouda, was rescued from her mother's womb after an Israeli airstrike hit their home, killing the unborn child's entire family, including her mother who carried her at the time, along with her father, and her young sister.

The infant Rouh died in hospital on Thursday and was buried with the rest of her family in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the massacre of civilians in Gaza continues unabated, with airstrikes and artillery shelling targeting residential homes and buildings across the northern, central and southern Gaza Strip, resulting in dozens of casualties over the last day.

In Gaza's north, Zionist gunboats fired live bullets from heavy machine-guns towards the fisherman's port of Gaza City, while at the same time shelling the outskirts of the Al-Shati Refugee Camp with artillery.

In another gruesome massacre, Zionist warplanes bombed near the Faisal School in the Japanese neighborhood of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing three Palestinian civilians and wounding a number of others.

Similarly, occupation fighter jets bombed the Sawarha area, west of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, martyring two civilians and wounding several others.

The slaughter of Palestinians continued with another Zionist airstrike targeting a civilian house in Rafah City, in the south of Gaza, killing at least 6 civilians.

That strike was immediately followed by two more airstrikes on residential homes in Rafah, resulting in the deaths of 8 more civilians, mostly women and children, and wounding dozens of others.

In yet another tragedy, Zionist occupation forces destroyed a residential home in the al-Sultan neighborhood of the Nuseirat Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, leading to the death of 4 civilians, including a baby girl.

Elsewhere, Zionist warplanes bombed yet another inhabited residential building, also in the Nuseirat Camp, killing 4 citizens and wounding at least 30 others.

The occupation army continued its terror with the launch of repeated firebelts targeting the Al-Mughraqa area of central Gaza, while Gaza City in the north was hammered with a multitude of airstrikes, several of which focused on the Shuja'iyya neighborhood where three residential homes were targeted.

The Zionist army also obliterated a house in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, killing 3 civilians, including a woman and her child.

Previously, an occupation airstrike that targeted a residential building belonging to the Shawa family, housing displaced civilians, was scoured by Civil Defense crews who managed to recover the bodies of three civilians, including a child, while several others who were wounded were taken to Al-Ahli Arab National Hospital.

Zionist warplanes also heavily bombed the Al-Zawayda area of central Gaza, targeting civilian homes in multiple intense raids, killing a Palestinian civilian and wounding a number of others.

A multitude of civilians were also wounded following occupation artillery shelling which targeted agricultural lands in the Sawarha area, west of the Nuseirat Camp, while occupation fighter jets continue firing firebelts to the northwest of Khan Yunis, in Gaza's south.

Occupation aircraft similarly targeted residential buildings in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

As a result of "Israel's" ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the current death toll among the local population has surged yet again, now exceeding 34,388 Palestinians killed, including over 14'690 children and 9'680 women, while another 77'437 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.
