If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:
While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.
Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.
hi oomfs its me again. i dont know if this has been shared around already, apologies for the repetitiveness if so. we are still a little over two weeks away from ramadan but this ramadan fundraiser for sudan has barely reached 10% of their goal. there is also this fundraiser by the tarada initiative as well which is doing substantially better in terms of goals. please consider pitching in with whatever is possible for you. even if its $5, even if its less than that.
[image ID: a tweet from elliot HBH era ❤️🩹, @jagblundarr, which reads: "the eurovision admins are on a blocking rampage so that our comments do not overshadow their tweets come eurovision season next week. they cannot block everyone so PLEASE don't let this discourage you from exposing their hypocrisy under their tweets.
ban Israel from Eurovision."
the tweet is in response to Hanna 🇵🇸 , @BRlVlDI, who had tweeted: "end of an era. go fuck yourselves, @ eurovision." along with a screenshot of the eurovision song contest account which says "You are blocked from following @ Eurovision and viewing @ Eurovision's posts. Learn more"
end ID]
as the tweet pointed out, eurovision season is next week, so PLEASE, boycott! boycott the contest, the participating artists, and the broadcasters who are showing it!
until Armenia and Palestine are free & israel and azerbaijan are banned, there CANNOT be a good reason to engage with eurovision. tweet the social media teams, email the broadcasting corporations, make it KNOWN that you are not going to allow them to continue to platform both azerbaijan and israel. send complaints to ofcom, but give the actual contest & music NOTHING - don't hate watch/listen. don't stream the songs. don't even PIRATE it. give them NOTHING, but take EVERY OPPORTUNITY to address the fact that they're allowing genocidal fascists to participate.
BOYCOTT EUROVISION! and boycott the LOT of it!

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like
“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”
and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent
“I literally made three- THREE- 18th century corsets last week. You can wait until one of them gets back, or you can go sometime post-1920s, because if I have to sew one more god damn channel I will literally lose my mind.”
“Upper middle class?!?!? You told me upper class! FUCK YEAH THERE’S A DIFFERENCE!!!”
“How about kimoNO.”
“Look me in the eyes. I do not care what you want. This is the 1500s. You absolutely cannot wear trousers.”
“Another court gown?? Here’s a novel idea: go as a peasant for once in your life. Why do you do this to me? You’re fucking sadists that’s why.”
“Don’t mind me, I’ll just be up all night hand painting silk.”
“THE POLICY IS ONE MONTH’S ADVANCE NOTICE ON PRE-1900s WOMEN’S FASHION FOR A REASON, DEBRA.”
“Upper middle class?!?!?
You told me upper class! FUCK
YEAH THERE’S A DIFFERENCE!!!”
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Drop whatever you are doing and watch Oriented (2015) on Netflix. Possibly the most un-pinkwashed piece about queer Palestinian youth I have ever seen.
the problem isn't just that media literacy is slowly becoming a dying art. it's that people straight up do not pay attention when they watch tv/film anymore.
this isn't even a difficult post to understand, how the hell are people completely missing the entire point of it?! god! it's in the first sentence: THIS IS ABOUT MEDIA LITERACY!!!! it's about the fact that people do not understand or know half of what is going on in the shows and movies they watch because they do not pay attention to what they are watching them and then go on to bitch and complain about nothing making sense!
I’m having. A moment.
Please follow, share, and interact with Madleen @palestinianmother's videos on tiktok to help bring more awareness to her campaign. Here is the link to her tiktok page:
Please also share her gfm link and donate if you can:
Madleen and I have been messaging on Facebook and she told me how hopeless and tired she's been feeling. She says it's especially hard now that Ramadan is about to end and she and her family won't be able to celebrate Eid like they usually do. Let's help her achieve her fundraising goal at least so that we can lessen some of her worries even just for a little bit. Please donate if you can and share her gfm link to help it reach more people.
This is different from Al-Shifa:
There are images of decomposed bodies wearing what appear to be scrubs... with their hands tied. Meaning they were executed while bound. I will not be sharing them because I'm tired of showing our martyrs' bodies to people.

not to put a finer point on it, but before i was fired from my job one of the many ways my managers were bullying me was by accusing me of antisemitism EVERY TIME i pitched an article related to Palestine (the last one i pitched before being fired was about bella hadid being fired from jobs for speaking up about Palestine. ironic). the worst of this was when i was crying in a "disciplinary" meeting about how i felt like shit while watching a genocide and their company lawyer accused me of being "manipulative" and "trojan horsing antisemitism" into the workplace. i cannot stress ENOUGH that i was purely talking about my own emotions about being Lebanese and watching Palestinians and Lebanese people be murdered and i was accused of being antisemitic. if you accuse me of being antisemitic at this point in the genocide i am gonna tell you to go fuck yourself i've had enough of the real oppression jewish people face being mentioned only as a weapon to silence me and others (including jewish ppl themselves) when we express basic sympathy to Palestinians and/or trying to advocate for Palestinian liberation. youse don't care. you are not serious people to me.
I added pictures to try and explain the cartoon better!

the Biden admin "inquiring with the Government of Israel" about some heinous crime against humanity Israel has committed is basically a way of publicly signalling that nothing will happen and that they're hoping people will move on to the next Israeli atrocity and forget about the previous one.

Alright, let’s get this picture started! (The End) NO NOOOOO!
One of the defining moments of animation history.
“Ain’t I a stinker?”
In Babylon 5, didn’t one of the non-humans think Daffy was the god of frustration?
Holy shit, this is nearly 70 years old. This would have been right on the heels of color television being commercially available to the public.
@amayatepes look at this
LMAO
Huh. That’s just a whole ass Daffy Duck cartoon.
Everything about this cartoon is top-notch. The timing, the animation (watch Daffy’s different walks) the art; this is a treasure
