Palestine is a feminist issue. It's 100% an issue that global feminists should be tackling but it's interesting to see reports of infections from a lack of decent menstrual sanitation products and reports of a 300% increase in miscarriages in Gazans and all these "the future is female!!! Repro rights!!! No period shaming!!!!" libfems are silent. I can't say I'm surprised, this is just liberal white feminism to a T, but by God does this shit piss me off. Our inability to ease the suffering of Gazans going through traumatic periods, births, and miscarriages because of Israeli violence should have the whole world heaving.
Literally cannot stop thinking about how the numbers we are seeing of those killed in Gaza are strictly reflective of the bodies that had made it to a hospital.
Thousands are still missing; many are trapped under the rubble, some bodies were never retrieved from the streets where Israeli snipers are positioned, some bodies have been eaten by animals to the point of being unrecognised, and others have been buried in mass graves or school yards without being identified.
The numbers you are seeing (25,000+ as of January 24, 2024) are unfortunately specifically of those who had their bodies arrive at a functioning hospital in Gaza in a condition well enough to be identified.
i could never be a music reviewer because every single album i would just be like yaaaayyy i loved it i had so much fun!!^_^ im glad they're creating something!!!!^_^
if i can impart any one piece of wisdom to y’all, it’s to, whenever possible, assume good intentions
assume people are trying their best, want to be good and treat others well, and that when their behavior doesn’t align with those goals, it’s because of outside factors that are pushing them to their limit
it’s hard to do, it doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s worth it
