also, a friendly reminder, the world we live in now consists of an active genocide.
of warcrimes being posted on twitter by the official account of israeli government.
of people looking at children, women and men being bombed, killed, starved and butchered and saying it is okay because of a single terrorist group, THAT ISRAEL CREATED.
of westerners saying to look away from the slaughter happening in gaza because your mental health is more important than thousands of lives.
of israeli politicians straight up using propaganda from nazi handbooks to dehumanise palestinians, calling them less than human, less than the rest of us, animals.
and what one palestinian man posted on his social media hit me more than anything: āif we actually were animals, people would care.ā

There is still hope. Say it out loud. Palestine will be free. The Palestinian people will celebrate their culture and heritage with each other. We will love and be loved. Do not fall into the trap of despair.

Please stop seeing politics as an identity and start seeing it as a collective means for change
#READ THE OG TAGS!!!#i am so tired of ppl trying to use 'theres no ethical consumption under capitalism' in regards to bds#it's not about ethics it's about participating in a political strategy palestinians have spent years promoting as a means for change#some things are in fact not about you#it is so so so important to boycott#organized and pressured boycotts work#we have proof of it

the men and boys are innocent too.
we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.
I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.
I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.
I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.
I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.
the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.
#i know that we say women and children due to patriarchal standards#itās important to remember the men#the fathers who have to carry parts of their kids#husbands mourning their wife#sons mourning their parents#free palestine#free gaza#from the river to the sea palestine will be free

Is*ael killed 1,000 people in 24 hours. In the span of 1 day, 1000 people were murdered. 1000 people died. these are not just numbers to add on to a statistic. Every single person who died was a family member, someone who is loved, who will be missed by someone. Someone who has memories, inside jokes, likes and dislikes, favorite foods and hobbies. Favorite places they like to visit and games they would like to play. Every person who was murdered had dreams and a life to live.
ln the span of 1 day, 1000 peopleās lives were taken away. Their dreams taken away. They wonāt ever get to eat their favorite food, spend time with their best friend, play their favorite game.
#They are not just numbers#they are people#who have hopes and dreams#that have been cruelly and forcefully taken from them#donāt let this brush past you#1000 is a huge number#1000 people is too many#1 is too many#i know we are getting desensitized#but pls pls pls#remember

why do people have to beg just to live. there is no where to go for the palestinian people, the israeli government has them in a death spiral going north and south cutting out there food and water supplies making it hard to reach out to other countries BEGGING for help. you canāt even wish them safety bc there is nowhere to go not even in america where three palestinian men were shot. please please call your senators and state representative (i have a script on my account if needed), education yourself, and boycott companies published on the bds boycott list. please donāt let this genocide be a trend
#5 calls#is a great app to use#it gives you a script and the numbers of your senators and representatives#call them#everyday#you can call as many times as you want#they have to listen#and they have to put your name down#if it goes to voice mail leave your address#pls pls pls call#i understand how hard it is to call ppl#i struggled with it#but this is smth that i needed to do#i read over the script a couple times#practiced out loud and then called#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#free gaza#free palestine#palestine

I think one element of Israeli propaganda that a lot people are unintentionally aligning themselves with is the idea of Gaza as the main target of Israeli violence. During the "truce" even, so many people talking about how it was a "pause" even though people in the West Bank, Damascus, and Lebanon were still being killed by Israeli forces because the "truce" was only negotiated for Gaza (where it was also not adhered to). But as a Lebanese person with family in Lebanon and Palestinian loved ones, I need people to remember that Gaza is not a state. Gaza isn't a country. Israel won't destroy Gaza and call it a day as if Gaza is their main goal because it's not. It's "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" because the free Palestine movement is about ending Israeli occupation of all Palestine and surrounding countries. It's not a reform movement about getting Israel to behave. It's an anti-colonial movement that aims to give ALL of Palestine back to Palestinians. Of course, the extreme violence Israel is enacting on Palestinians in Gaza is horrific. it's also obvious Israel is relying on the horror it's caused in Gaza to distract people from holding them to account for their ongoing violence in the rest of Palestine, as well as Lebanon, Syria and the Congo. Israel divided Palestine up so the world would forget it, don't be party to that. Talk about Gaza, the West Bank, Jenin, Hebron because it's all Palestine and all of it must be free. End the occupation. End the apartheid state of Israel.

motaz azaiza just posted a video of israeli officers indiscriminately shooting at civilians (and him) as they tried to run away. he and bisan and all other on-site journalists are living in a nightmare simulator just so they could be the ears and eyes of gazaāand yet we still have people whoāre āconsidering whether this is any of their concernā āuninformed so they refuse to speakā āchoosing to stay neutral.ā motaz was one of the journalists who basically posted their eulogies earlier this week. this canāt get any more horrifying and dystopian. we need a ceasefire.

Not that Israel ever stopped but Israeli officials have announced that their focus now is on the city of Khan Younis which is in southern Gaza, the exact area Israel and their fanbase were adamant that Gazans should "relocate to" for safety.
700 people have been killed by Israeli shelling in the past 24 hours.
This is another reminder that Israel will make up lies as they go about their evil agenda and if you're dumb enough to believe any of them, you have made yourself complicit in enabling this genocide.

Bisan's recent post. I think it's important for you to read it. Tonight 03.12.23, journalists in gaza share their last messages. There are no words to describe the horrors unfolding in gaza right now.

I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!
I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.
I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!
I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!
My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israelās annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .
A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.

I donāt know anything about Teen Wolf, I just got a bunch of edits about Stiles so I obviously searched for more fan content (edits, youtube compilations, and fanfics)
Can someone (anyone) pls tell me why he gets shipped with people who are YEARS older than him??!!!!
Like okay Derek I can maybe excuse (not rlly but itās the least worst in what iāve seen)
What is up with him and Chris Argent ( who is apparently his best friendās gfās DAD) HE is a FATHER!!!
And Stiles and Peter Hale (!!!!) who is Derekās uncle apparently.
Is there like an actual answer to this or am I just shocked by fandom/ shipping tendencies for a show that aired in 2011.
#teen wolf#wtf is the age gap#why#i have questions#and iām not sure if i want an answer#someone tell me if i should leave#the fandom#and not go any deeper#also#i have not watched any of the show#like episodes#only stuff iāve seen on youtube#or tiktok#and our lord and savior ao3

Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if weāre already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. āWe will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-ā how about you stop āmaking peaceā with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.
Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.
