bury every beast and we are Born Again.
i realize the last four or five years have been an absolute nightmare for everyone in regards of global events, conflicts and general life. but my personal life for about a year now has felt like i am trapped in this nightmare bubble, and am not too sure how i am able to get out of that lately. i say lately because i think it's catching up to my family in the sense a lot of depression and sadness looms over us. it sucks so much. it hurts. i have the weight of the world and life sitting right on my shoulders, and it's affecting me both mentally and physically. it's been causing me sudden medical issues, and they're a little bit scary. which, obviously, leads me further down the road of stress and anxiety and i'm not sure where the end of the tunnel is right now.. this all sounds vague and scary. because it is. i don't know who i am right now or what is going on in, i just know it's been a painful time for me. for everyone around me. it's hard watching my family go through things, being a deeply empathetic person who takes everything to heard, really takes a toll on a person.
the journalists who stayed behind in northern gaza to report on atrocities like decomposed babies in hospital beds and patients who had been bulldozed in their tents by the idf and skeletons in the streets—now starving on camera, even as they continue to report.
the doctors who stayed behind in every single hospital and got sniped, kidnapped and tortured for their efforts. the director of al-shifa whose hands were broken and was forced to crawl on all fours. the doctors of al-amal and al-nasser hospital who were stripped and bound and beaten.
is there anything worse than watching people who are brave and conscientious and principled punished for it? people who are determined to do their duty until their last minute standing? is there anything like this, watching them waste away at their posts for five months straight?
The women who desperately need Taylor swift to be gay are kind of indicative of a larger trend in gay stuff where people don’t want to seek out actual gay art or culture but want to consecrate all the normiest str8 culture as somehow queer in order to feel like they are participating, without having to actually do anything deviating from the lowest common denominator broadest appeal culture industry products

The more you ignore the more we are going to keep pushing.
February started with false hopes of a ceasefire.
It is now February 15 and the largest medical facility in South Gaza, which sheltered ~2,500 people and had been under siege for two weeks, has been attacked. It is now completely out of function.
We are 21 days away from marking 5 months of ongoing genocide.
Here are several posts with numerous donation links & other ways to help. I’ll also include the tag I use for those posts, where you’ll find individual gofundme’s listed as well. There is also Operation Olive Branch, which has an excel sheet of numerous families in Gaza & how to donate to them + how to contact them. If you can afford it, please consider donating and please, please remember to scroll down to donate to families at the bottom of the list. If you cannot give, please simply share as many resources as you find.

A closeup of a hand-written sticker on the back of a street sign. It says (in all caps), "While you're celebrating Christmas this weekend, his birthplace is being bombed". Underneath, it says (in cursive), "Free Palestine". In the background, which is out of focus, there are city buildings and people walking around.
