hi. go buy esims for gaza. go preorder a kufiya from hirbawi. buy insulin for palestinian diabetics who need that help. if you live in the states use this to email your reps (this takes maybe 5 seconds to do). check out this massive list of resources where you can educate yourself in a meaningful and actionable way even if you don't have the financial means right now. from the river to the sea palestine will be free. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
continually forgetting that I have one of these, perpetually neglecting to open the app,,,

everyone can say “bye Felicia” thinking they’re sooo sassy yet no one bothered to even look up let alone WATCH where the quote came from oh okay alright
You can’t let this stupid ass evil world rob you of your vibe don’t let them do that to u
This is the same thing over and over again. Palestinians die every day, but it gets a lukewarm headline from mainstream media because death and destruction is inherent to Arabness. Then an aid convoy with white workers is obliterated, and now both the president of the United States and the president of Israel are making statements apologizing for “the poor protection of aid workers.” At one point we were seeing multiple reports a day of paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society dying, but nothing. Crickets. Because they don’t care. And even in these “remorseful statements” there is a strategic reminder that white lives hold more weight than brown lives.
Ukraine/Russia happened and the first thing European leaders said was, "Well, this isn't the Middle East. Things like this doesn't happen here."
I've been told by many people that they never realized how deep anti-Arab sentiment ran until now and like. Guys. I understand, I get it, but we said it. We told y'all. Again and again and again. 1 million Iraqis killed in the war, and people didn't care. Syria, and people didn't care. Yemen, and people didn't care.
Guys. I cannot stress this enough. America benefits SO MUCH from Arabs being violently killed. Killing us gets them oil, gets them land, gets them allies, gets them presence, gets them power. And America purposefully silences/suppresses us to keep you from noticing. Notice.
Imagine a vampire sucked your blood and they didn't even pop a boner. not even half hard. fully flaccid the entire time they sucked your blood. I'd be so humiliated.
Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?
Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".
My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.
lol I can’t fucking afford groceries, so sorry my attention isn’t 24/7 on Palestine 🙄
listen i feel u. i do. but i honestly cannot get over how immature these asks are (and i've received a few of them by now, cannot imagine the volume of them actual palestinians get) bc it should be an unspoken caveat that a lot of these posts are not targeted at people who're living paycheck to paycheck, working busy lives, have copious amounts of shit to deal w etc etc. the problem comes in when you go out of your way to ridicule genocide by sending asks like this, especially to people who lost family members to israeli attacks. i know this isn't the social etiquette site, but someone has to tell you it's incredibly rude, distasteful, tone deaf, disrespectful...
if you can't afford to do anything, okay. keep it pushing instead of going to people's inboxes trying to make an obvious point.
and if you do have time or money and you're not doing nearly enough, you are the problem.
it's literally that simple.
yes but also the reason groceries are becoming increasingly unaffordable is BECAUSE of the global imperialism the US is waging. imagine how things would be different if your governments invested in you instead of genocide. so yes, fighting for palestinian liberation is also fighting for your own. these are not isolated struggles.

They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.
Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.
So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.
