Artclassics - Je Suis Désolé

Inside every person is a story they wish to forget

I think some people don’t actually realise how serious this issue is

some things that have happened since you stopped hearing about p/alestine after the “ceasefire” was declared

1,000+ palestinians were arrested in a mass-arrest campaign designed to, and i quote, “instill fear” - including children

al-aqsa mosque and worshippers were attacked and beaten

literal children, not even teens, children, were arrested and tried in a military court (this is not new, thousands of children have faced this terrorization over the years. Isr@el is the only country in the world that tries children in military courts. 500-700 children are prosecuted each year.)

a soldier deliberately ran over a child on a bike for having a pales/tinian flag on his bike. an adult man ran over a child with his car. on purpose. the child is 12. read that again.

sheikh jarrah was blockaded, illegally

whatsapp blocked the accounts of over 100 pal/estinian journalists

silwan, another pal/estinian neighborhood like sheikh j/arrah, is being violently ethnically cleansed to make way for more settlers

Isr@el has forced social media sites to censor the hashtags “free pal/estine” and “save sheikh ja/rrah” many posts and accounts have been deleted

25 pales/tinians have been murdered by the ID/F and settlers

in Jaffa, 300 arab families are under force expulsion orders to make way for more settlers. 300 families.

suicide rates in g/aza have risen to an all-time high due to PTSD and hopelessness

Pales/tinians in G/aza still do not have access to safe drinking water, electricity, medical care, and nutrition. families are still being displaced from their homes by settler colonialism. There is still an inability to mobilize freely, pursue a career, seek an education, or gain access to decent healthcare or mental health resources. The occupation, genocide, and ethnic cleansing continues whether you see on your feed or not.

And more ghibli......

And yet I still hope

Robert Goolrick, from The End of the World as We Know It: Scenes from a Life

One time the councillor in my school gave out to me and started crying because I kept laughing about the time I was almost sexually assaulted by my (arsehole sonovabitch) cousin (who was twice my age) when I was 7.... and when I kept joking about the fact that I went on a “nice” trip abroad for a year when I was 16 and ended up in a war zone and nearly died...I think she needs therapy from the sh!t I told her ToT she wasn’t prepared

i can be at my lowest point and ima still be laughing at something

Exactly 👏 say.it.louder.to.those.at.the.back.

if someone told me they loved me most ardently I wouldn’t be able to function properly ever again

I don’t know where to go...
