sometimes i wish the gay people in my phone were gay people in my house. where i could give them snacks and blankets and hear the sound of their laughter
As of today (Nov. 26), three Palestinian men in Vermont have been shot and are in critical condition. "Their crime? Wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh." On Oct. 14, Wadea Al-Fayoume, a 6 year old Palestinian child, was murdered and his mother stabbed by their landlord in Illinois because they were Muslim. On Oct. 28, Dr. Talat Jehan Khan, a Pakistani-American Muslim, was murdered outside her apartment in Texas.
These hate crimes and others like them are the direct result of the U.S. government and media's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians that Israel is carrying out. The blood is on their hands as much as it is the individual perpetrator's.
the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated
The REAL reason why DC no longer has a Letters to the Editor section is because the editors wouldn't even be able to answer basic questions about what was published even two months prior, or respond to the letters in a coherent way and they know it.
it was a bad idea to introduce today's youth to early 2000s television because now you have people out there thinking they made dean winchester and gregory house gay on purpose instead of as a tasteless joke
“Marah Bakir, who was been imprisoned for eight years since she was 15 years old, embraces freedom at these moments after being held in solitary confirment for over 40 days. Marah is the representative of the women prisoners' movement.
She is one of 11 prisoners from Al-Quds who were released moments ago.”
People really need to realise that “media can affect real life” doesn’t mean “this character does bad things so people will read that and start doing bad things” and actually means “ideas in fiction especially stereotypes about minority groups can affect how the reader views those groups, an authors implicit prejudices can be passed on to readers”
“if women want equality then they should be drafted” what if — just hear me out — what if nobody should be drafted. not even *looks behind my shoulder* not even men.
Israel just murdered another journalist's, Muhamoud Abu-Hasira's, whole family including his wife and children as punishment for showing what they're doing
The total number of journalists targeted and murdered is approaching 40 at this time (11/5/2023). If you count the total number of journalists or their families that have been murdered it's approaching 100. Multiple journalists have had their whole families wiped out and are still reporting and working to expose the genocide.
Keep talking, keep posting their work. They've been forced to sacrifice everything for every scrap of information hat makes it out of Palestine
