@dushmanejaan your username reminded me of this🤌🏻🌷
i am sorry i will not coddle a 34 year old billionaire global popstar for being silent about genocide even after immense pressure from her own fans. that hill is not the one i will ever want to die on.
just a girl in her room trying to forgive herself
The feminine urge to put Kajal in .y eyes, wear jhumpkas and open my hair and listen to Desi music.
If we want Taylor to pay attention, we have to give her something to look at! Clearly, social media pressure is not getting to her, so we need to provide a monetary incentive for her to speak out.
Do not like any of her social media posts. Do not engage with her brand. Just for ONE day. If we can get enough people to participate, we may be able to make a significant dent in her streaming revenue and let her know that remaining silent is UNPROFITABLE.
REBLOG THIS POST TO SPREAD THE WORD!
guys i actually beg of you to not let palestine become an unpleasant flashback, a transient tumblr trend, a hasbeen subject that just faded away. as an arab—and specifically iraqi—girl, i know what it feels like to have family displaced all over the world as a result of western imperialism. i know what it feels like to not be able to step foot into your homeland because it’s no longer safe. as an american iraqi, raised in the us and insulated from my roots, it wasn’t until last summer that i was able to visit iraq for the first time, and even then my family was worried for my safety—in my own blood country. although nothing like what palestinians are experiencing right now, it might be the tiniest semblance of what it feels like to watch your country disintegrate in front of you.
and this is a universal arab experience. i volunteer weekly at a refugee center that serves middle eastern refugees, and every day i see the longing in their eyes when they speak of where they hail from. it’s safe to say that we will be getting a wave of palestinian refugees very soon: just another generation of arabs who can’t inhabit their own country.
arab culture is so rich, so profound, so beautiful. i am tired of being told by the world—through literal genocide—that it doesn’t mean anything. please never let this be forgotten. free palestine. free palestine. free palestine.
A fundraiser I trust! The person organizing it apparently adds people to a close friends story where she shares updates about the progress of getting her family members out upon request. Please share!
