Almost all of my feed today has been of dead Palestinian children; mothers hunched over the bodies of their children, families wailing, fathers holding their dead infants singing lullabies to them. It's horrific.

The UN reports that almost 70% of Palestinians killed by Israel are women and children.

The same report states that children aged 5-9 account for most verified deaths in Gaza.

Investigations show that 335 bullets were fired by Israeli forces at a family car where 6 year old Hind Rajab was trapped and killed.

Doctors and nurses testified to the overwhelming number of children who were killed by sustaining gunshot wounds in the head or neck by Israeli snipers.

NICUs have been a specific target of strikes and destruction, to the point where today there are only 54 incubators remaining across all of Gaza.

Israel is waging a "war" against a besieged population, of which nearly 50% are children, and yet they try to convince everyone that this is anything but a war on children? This is a genocide in every sense of the word, where the past, present and future are being actively annihilated.

how do you choose who to donate to? it always feels like such an awful choice, everyone needs it so badly but i can only give to a few people at a time with what i have. how does anyone choose who to help, or how much to give each person?

gazafunds.com loads a randomized fundraiser for people with this anxiety

you could also buy esims for Gazans or donate to Gaza Municipality Project

I would like to try a "what language family is your first language in" poll but wrangling english speakers who don't know english is germanic would be too much of a hassle I think

*NOTE: in this case, phobia refers to a very strong irrational fear, not being a little scared of something. if you can handle snakes but they make you nervous, that's not a phobia.

I'm gonna reblog with some videos of people speaking various American Indian/indigenous American languages, because I think most people don't even know what they sound like. Not to be judgement of that—just, you know, I think people who want to be informed should know what they sound like!
