going to print out flyers that say “EVERY CHOICE YOU MAKE IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR MORALS. MORALITY IS NOT AN ABSTRACT CONCEPT SEPARATED FROM YOUR REAL LIFE” and start stapling them to people’s foreheads
(i Will go back to everlasting haitus if that GFM slows down too much btw, seeing it to its goal ASAP is my primary focus right now)
every once in a while you just gotta go "This Reality Is Not Acceptable" and put yourself all in on one cause and not let up on it until it is done, to make sure at least one fact of that unacceptable reality, changes. at least one more tragedy avoided.
that is what i have chosen to do here.
i'll admit i'm not especially good at drawing more realistic portraits/people, but i took a crack at it for this. in the back of mind, is the thought: i want to be able to draw a proper family portrait for them a year from now, if they'd like one, and have nobody suddenly be missing from it.
donate, boost, share the GFM yourself on any platforms you may have/on websites i'm not on, in your community servers, anywhere sympathy and action can be found. please.
As of this update, April 11th, the GFM is at 42k out of 60k, but traffic has starting slowing down the past 48 hours, so I’m nudging more again with that status! Please let’s get this the rest of the way to the goal ASAP!
they don’t just need out, the whole family, including the kids, need prompt medical care! I urge anyone reading these words to help however they can, please, peace, and thank you 🕊️ 🍉
As of this update, April 14th, the GFM is at 46k out of 60k 🕊️ 🍉
i beg you to love me, say that i'm enough, but you tell me— why are you like this? i think there's something wrong with you.

The full-body cringe attack I get when I’m reading a fic and Damian calls Jason “akhi” or Dick “baba”
From the bottom of my heart I fucking hate the people still making posts about how israeli soldiers are victims too because they're conscripted. This is the FandomTM site so they talk about israeli soldiers like a morally flawed character instead of an active member of a military invading and leveling gaza. This is not the time to talk about iof "victim hood. We're all victims of the system" and attempt to equivocation between what's happening in Gaza and a draft. Gazan men and boys are being taken to prisoner camps and getting amputations from handcuffs being intentionally too tight. No one would believe it if a Palestinian announced it until an israeli doctor confirmed it. An American doctor wrote an article where she witnessed palestinian children from ages 5 to 8 with sniper injuries To The Head. Again palestinians telling the news this with their dead child would not be believed so an American doctor had to confirm it. Israeli soldiers blew up a cemetery a piece of ground that is so significant to a nation's memory and cultural memory. Wiping it off means these people virtually do not exist unless the people who visited the cemetery is alive to remember. This would not be confirmed if CNN literally did not film them doing so.
We are allowed to hate this "army" these butcherers of Gaza. We don't have to sit and ponder which one is "conscious" of their crimes when it materially changes nothing about what they're doing. I thought "following orders" was viewed as a disdained excuse but as always Israeli exceptionalism excuses the IOF

Lastest photo of our building they destroyed half of the building unfortunately where is our partment 😔💔.
This was my daily view from my room 😔
They destroyed everything 😭
And here is the link to help us rebuild our apartment when we back.
I saw a tweet that said something like "for the first time in 6 months Israeli warplanes had left Gaza skies" and I just want to say that it isn't only untrue, it has no reason to be true in the first place.
As a matter of fact, various areas have been struck in Gaza last night including residential areas in Nuseirat where apartment buildings have been flattened and a number of causalities have been reported to Alawda hospital.
Don't aid in diverting attention away from Gaza by sharing these baseless tweets. We already see how people apparently are only capable of focusing on one event at a time.
Gaza is still under Israeli attack.
Palestinians aren’t micro-celebrities, by the way. They aren’t Brad Pitt or Beyoncé or any other celebrity you routinely follow the daily lives of; they’re regular people who’re going through something unimaginable, who’re barely able to grieve the deaths of their families because they’re too busy spoon-feeding y’all information you couldn’t be assed to research yourselves.
Saying you’re a fan of someone who mainly posts about the deaths of their friends, families, and loved ones just confirms how you guys see the plight of black and brown people as entertainment to cheer on. It’s disgusting, have some fucking shame and humility.
tonight we die as a family, mohammed el-kurd

Why is it that the buzz around the Central World Kitchen massacre lasted so long it practically drowned out everything else, but the ongoing, daily attacks on the Palestine Red Crescent Society don’t get any coverage? Israeli settlers have not stopped at Ramallah, the attack from a few days ago that injured multiple Palestinians; now they’ve moved on to al-Mughayir, a village near it, and the injuries coming out of that are equally barbaric. But it’s not just normal individuals they’re attacking—they’re opening fire on paramedics trying to reach those wounded too.
Like I don’t think it’s being properly reported just how frequent these attacks are. I feel like mainstream media is in a lull right now, where you don’t see much coverage about IOF attacks on residential areas—but they are still absolutely happening, and they are happening every single day. Two dead from an attack in central Gaza, IOF attacks on the PRCS this morning in al-Far’a, literally assaulting a volunteer paramedic before releasing him, and now allowing Israelis to continue attacking ambulances trying to attend to Palestinians after village raids. And this came in light of Biden’s shock and awe speech about protecting aid workers. It’s revolting.
In the West Bank, 4 different villages are being attacked and burned per day by mobs of armed zionazi settlers, according to a reporter on the ground (I'll be posting the video later when I manage to clear storage). The 'civilians', armed by the state, creating pogroms and lynch mobs, cannot be given the benefit of the doubt. A colonial society at its core is a militarized and violent one. What is stolen by violence from its rightful owners can only be retained by maintaining that violence. Now they feel their control over Palestinians and our land slipping. So they're going all out. This won't go on for much longer. This is in fact a sign they're losing.
