2024 is realizing exactly how fucked up I am. Like I knew I was (we always know when we are) but I'm 28 and collect trauma like stamps. I never realized how deep my trauma was and honestly, I'm stunned that I managed to get to where I am today after all of that.
Yet, even seeing how much I've survived, I don't feel strong. I don't feel brave. I don't feel accomplished or proud. I feel exhausted. I've had to survive and take care of those around me, putting myself and my needs in a box and locking the key. I've had to be so independent that I don't know how to depend anymore.
I read a book about a girl who was forced to become a warrior to survive, and who survived so much trauma her whole life, and the story was her finding her husband who was crazy about her, and she got to rest. She didn't have to survive, she didn't have to spend every moment of her existence fighting. She got to curl up in his arms and have him hide her from pain.
I know some people dislike stories like that. They think she was so strong and in the end depended on man to protect her. But as someone who had to be fiercely independent and strong and survive countless traumas...all I want is to rest and be cared for. I've spent my whole life caring for others, putting their needs before mine, and doing what I had to for my families survival, and all without someone to lean on. Without a safe space.
To me, her story is a dream. A reward for all that she suffered through. She fought to gain peace. And I hope that one day, I can have that too.
Not only is their moisturizer blocking my pores like its aid to Gaza but their skin matching software was developed by the IOF for targeting Palestinians 🤮
Remember the 6 year old girl who was surrounded by Israeli tanks and the red crescent couldn't reach her? Her name is Hind Hamadeh. Here you can hear the phone call her 15 year old sister, Layan Hamadeh, made with the medics. She was killed exactly a moment later including all people in the car, except for 6 year old Hind who was stuck in the car with the dead bodies of her family, Israeli tanks and IDF surrounding her, shooting, preventing anybody to reach her.
That was last night (29.1.24). Today, still nothing. The fate of Hind remains unknown.
palestine red crescent ambulance team went to rescue her yesterday evening, but they have not returned as of now. We lost contact with them about 18 hours ago, and we still remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.
Please, share Hind's story as much as you can on any platform. We need to know what happened to her. Put yourself in her place, how terrified she must be. Don't scroll past this.
The world has enabled anti-Arab racism in ways it has enabled nothing else. To be Arab is to be called a terrorist. To be Arab is to be seen as backwards, because your roots lie in backwater third world countries whose cultures have been—time and again—ripped apart by those unwilling to look beyond what they’ve been taught in ignorance. And yet all that pales in comparison to what has befallen Palestinians, who have had to watch their relatives get martyred over and over. As if that’s not enough, it was all recorded for the world to see.
All just for another Arab country to be terrorized by the US. The US and UK had no business bombarding Yemen, but they did. And they actively are. Biden was confident enough in his decision to disclose that on a world screen. And don’t get me started on how it’s all under the guise that they’re specifically targeting “pirates.” Arab blood continues to be shed under these ludicrous narratives, and it’s fucking grotesque.
Enough is enough with the enabling. Ceasefire now.
They terrorize the poor American soldiers who just want to steal all their resources like the colonizers before them, but it's not fair cause they only entered the game after all the other colonizers "stopped" playing. Now poor poor America can't steal resources without people getting angry and fighting back 😣. When will the people they're stepping on just lie down and die so America can happily increase the wealth disparity and the 5 billionaires can have a nice modern slave system?? Woe. Woe to America.
America has now bombed and conducted illegal wars in:
Public high school students are occupying Chicago City Hall chanting “Biden Biden you can’t hide, you’re supporting genocide!” Students are demanding the city council vote YES on a ceasefire resolution.
They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.
Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.
So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.
The relief I will feel when I finally have saved $2000 in my bank account so I have emergency savings.... Then I can work towards paying off my debt and credit and start saving a little extra so that one day I can finally stop living off my credit card and live off my savings.
one day....in the far away future....
