the stuff going on at columbia campus rn is genuinely incredible
despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter, isra hirsi) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)
thank you so much alexa @shivsblunt for mentioning it…..anyone who wants to contribute to their jail support fund can do so @ bcabolitioncollective on v*nmo. also, if anyone is in the area and available to join (via cssw4palestine on ig):

if you've been here since december 2016 waiting for new yuri on ice you may be entitled to financial compensation

yeah i know we all hate gender binaries but don’t worry guys THIS binary that is related to gender is different. THIS system of classifying people as one of two things based on some aspect of their gender is fine don’t worry. this one’s never going to have transphobic or intersexist implications bro. this time it’s totally fine and correct to try and separate the complexity of the human experience into two categories. trust me bro. this is a GOOD gender binary. trust me
Some movies I wish I could have seen in theaters are:
- Pride and Prejudice (2005)
- Mad Max: Fury Road

disgusted by all the photos and videos of palestinian men being stripped, abducted, and tortured by iof soldiers (and settlers!) and almost equally disgusted by the fact that the majority (the non-arabs, non-muslims, non-palestinians) continue to refuse to include palestinian men in any of their calls for justice and palestinian freedom because they either: 1. still see them as barbaric 2. as deserving of the treatment they are receiving or 3. at best, not effective enough tools for garnering sympathy as the children and women are and so not worth mentioning. hurts even more to see male palestinian journalists focus almost entirely on the women and children because, yes they are the majority of the victims, but palestinian men 110% know their lives aren’t of the same value to the rest of the world, despite their overwhelming love for their people, for their families and friends, for life.
and, just so you know, today (14.12.23) iof soldiers once again forced palestinian teenaged boys to strip and turn themselves in as alleged hamas fighters in ghazzah, and they also stripped palestinian men in jenin (occupied west bank) as part of the invasion that lasted 3 days, appearing to end today, in which dozens of palestinians were detained, 12 palestinians were martyred and at least 10 homes blown up by israeli forces. this has been the largest invasion of jenin in 21 years (x)(x).

writing historical fiction will make you google things like “when we’re towels invented?” “how much did a towel cost in American in 1885?” “historical average number of towels owned per household”
I’ll use a word or idiom and then be like “no, that seems pretty modern” and start googling its etymological origins and fall down a rabbit hole for several hours
I’ll start googling about the general area the story is based in and what was going on around there at that time. and then become transfixed by the juiciest small town drama of the 19th century. anyway. it’s about the journey.

“I’m sad that I’m not being helped by people I’ve voted for,” said Moh Ghraiz, who lives in Illinois and is trying to help his parents and siblings flee Gaza. A month after he submitted their names, only his mother’s name has made it onto the Rafah exit list, though his father is also eligible under the State Department’s terms, a reflection of the inconsistencies many interviewees described. He recounted multiple frustrating calls with the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, saying diplomats are reading off scripts rather than expressing empathy and have refused to transfer him to more senior personnel.
“It’s unfair not to help these people and to help other people around the world, Ukrainians and Israelis and whoever else,” Ghraiz told HuffPost. “I’m a good citizen. My background is clear. I expect my Congress, my government to help me to help my family. These are the times when I really need the help.”
Last week, the State Department shut down the online intake form it previously maintained to gather information about Americans and others eligible for U.S. help evacuating from Gaza. The department has acknowledged internally that Israeli authorities have prevented some eligible people from leaving Gaza, according to diplomatic cables viewed by HuffPost, and U.S. officials have privately shared that assessment with some U.S. citizen family members in informal conversations.
…
For relatives of those suffering because of American policy failures, the daily pain is nearly unbearable.
“We’re living in the greatest country in the world ― I’m sure there’s something they can do,” said Heiam Alsawalhi of Massachusetts. Alsawalhi’s sister and her family of eight are sheltering in one room not far from the Egyptian border, and send her daily updates of their attempts to remain alive.
“Everyone comes to me because I am the American citizen here. They think I can do wonders. I wish I could do something,” Alsawalhi said.
…
Many of the families affected say they feel dehumanized by the Biden administration’s response to the problem.
Jehad Zakaria, in Chicago, wants to evacuate his father, who as a legal permanent resident has a green card. He said he trusted the government at first, following its protocols, but has since been shocked by its disorganization.
Zakaria said there was a “complete detachment from anything on the ground” from American officials he interacted with. The entire experience has made him rethink whether or not he wants to stay in the U.S.
“I’m going to retire, and I’m leaving this country. I’m done,” said Zakaria, a 35-year-old neurosurgeon. “They don’t care about my family.”
Yasmeen Elagha, who is also in Chicago, told HuffPost that in talking to U.S. officials about her 10 relatives stuck in the Gazan city of Khan Younis ― a group that includes two American citizens ― she has seen “how apathetic the government is to your life if you’re a Palestinian.”
Together with Abdelsalaam, Elagha on Wednesday also filed a lawsuit in federal court against the government over the issue, alleging the U.S. dodged its responsibilities. “They are 100% choosing one side fully and wholeheartedly and cutting off their own citizens,” she said. She described how last week, her U.S. citizen cousins went to a grocery store that was destroyed in an Israeli airstrike just minutes after they left.
…
A State Department official described internal frustration with the agency’s handling of the evacuation file. Officials have been told they cannot reveal to U.S. citizens that Israeli authorities are blocking their relatives from being included on the exit lists. In internal messaging, they are instructed to tell citizens it may be safer for their family members to stay where they are, the official said, acknowledging that the U.S. cannot even ensure safe passage for people heading to the Rafah Crossing.
“The State Department has completely failed these Americans, and it’s created a class of citizens that are being treated differently and that’s what has been the biggest source of despair,” said Maria Kari, a lawyer with the Arab American Civil Rights League who is representing Elagha and Abdelsalaam. “We’ve had a complete breakdown of the government’s responsibility to protect its own. What a nightmare for these people to have to deal with while worrying that their loved ones are going to be killed in a bombing any second.”
