It's not the first time that has happened

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary

palestinians deserve the right to be able to travel freely in our homeland. to even visit our homeland. for us to have citizenship and rights to our own country. to grow our plants. practice our religions. live without fear that our children can be kidnapped by israeli forces on their violent whims. to not have our life savings poured into building a home for our families that are torn down without real warning by israeli bulldozers. to no longer be refugees. like this is real life. this is real.

we don’t want to be reduced to a never ending slogan. we want to put down our need for resistance. to rest & to live.

Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, famous Palestinian Feminist Scholar, talks about the violence of forced incarceration of martyrs, the disrespect of their bodies, sexual violence against Palestinian men, women, and children, and the continued violence Jerusalem Palestinians face as part of the ongoing genocide.

For those who are inclined to academic analysis of state violence, I really recommend listening to this interview. Shalhoub-Kevorkian talks about her theories regarding Palestinian dehumanization, especially as it pertains to televised genocide.

She also talks about the academic violence she faces as a Palestinian academic in Israeli society.

HAPPENING NOW: texas state troopers are menacing a pro palestine protest on ut austin's campus. AN ENCAMPMENT HASNT EVEN BEEN ESTABLISHED YET

one arrest has been made at ut austin so far. protesters are seemingly boxed in on all sides. in a follow up tweet to this one, op notes students are attempting to dearrest the protester.

edit: after having posted this i found a tweet from ut austin's newspaper saying a second person has been arrested.

lesbianism is literally so important to me it’s not just a sexuality it’s a gender it’s a worldview it’s a state of mind + a state of being

Tesla claims another life.

Reminder that even if you are personally aware of how dangerous Tesla vehicles are and vow to never ride in one, they can still kill you.

My own driving habits have changed around them. I always give Teslas extra space, avoid following them directly, and expect them to stop or swerve suddenly without notice.

Cannot count the times I've pulled up next to a Tesla at freeway speed, noticed the driver playing on their phone. Tap the horn. They look up with surprise.

Please, don't be that guy.

hope this is okay to add but Jeffrey’s family has created a gofundme to cover funeral expenses and other costs.

My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.

Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.

Yousef Moner (@/you2.ef_) sent me a message on Insta and we've been messaging for a couple of days now. I believe this is a legit fundraiser based on what I've seen so far on his socials. He has a brother with another fundraiser (@/mohamed_moner1994 on insta).

Their gofundmes are being organized by Layla Ashoor (@/only_one_lulu on insta and 'Layla Ashoor' on FB).

Yousef is trying to evacuate with his sister and parents. I asked him where he is currently staying and he told me that they are in a small tent in Rafah at the moment. His gfm has only 3 donations amounting to £65 at the time I am making this post (04/21 here in the PH), while Mohamed is only at £1,150.

Please donate to him if you are able and share his fundraiser link to help him gain more donations.

Here is Yousef's gfm:

Here is his brother, Mohamed's gfm:

Here is the latest update from Yousef. Their fundraisers are both still very low on funds. Please keep reblogging.

DYKE!

Please don't forget Armenians

Today is Armenian genocide remembrance day. On april 24, 1915 started mass deportations of hundreds of Armenian intelectuals and community leaders, who were (most of the time) eventually killed. Armenian women and children were systematically r//ed and forcibly converted into islam. There were more than 2 milion Armenians in ottoman empire prior to ww1, 1,5 milion of them were viciously killed. Three millennia of Armenian civilaziation in eastern Anatolis was fully destroyed. Turkey today refuses to acknowledge genocides of christian minorities in early 20th century.

Do you know that mass ethnic cleansing of Armenians in ottoman empire inspired Lemkin to coin the term 'genocide'?

Last year in september azerbaijan allied with turkey initiated a war against Armenia. More that 5000 Armenians were murdered, thousands of Armenia families had to live their ancestrial land to not get murdered. There are hundreds of vids on internet where armenian p.o.w.s are tortured. Recently azerbaijan opened a "museum" displayind dead or dying Armenians and kids were allowed to visit it.

Please educate yourself on Armenian genocide. You can also donate here to help Armenia. Thanks for reading!!

This post is from 2021.

Last September, Artsakh was completely cleansed of its indigenous Armenian population. 3000 years of history were violently disturbed. Now the anti-Armenian propaganda and hatred is increasing and they are openly talking about taking over all of Armenia. Please take your time to read about these issues.

Zionists and everyone else PLEASE stop abusing the term ‘blood libel.’ IT DOES NOT MEAN “ACCUSATION OF MURDER.”

It is a feudal European conspiracy theory to justify pogroms by accusing Jews of murdering Christian children to use their blood for satanic rituals, including baking matzah with this blood. If it isn’t literally an accusation of blood drinking or blood magic or ritualistic child murder, it is not blood libel. It is not blood libel to accurately describe Israel’s actual actions bombing children. That is completely unrelated to the blood libel myth, stop expanding the definition beyond the phenomenon it was invented to describe.

On that note, I want to spotlight the fundraiser for an Afro-Palestinian journalist, and Lama Jamous' uncle. He has less of a following amongst allies because he posts almost entirely in Arabic, so I'm going to spotlight him on my blog and put him on the fundraiser list as well.

And please follow him on IG as well, even if you only speak English he has small captions on the videos he posts that translate his Arabic.

if I forgot your favorite subgenre or misclassified a band feel free to argue in the replies 👍
