They are carpet bombing Rafah. The over 1.4 million Palestinians in Rafah are being targeted at what is now 4 in the morning for them. They are posting their goodbyes.

🌿 My Name is Rola, and This is My Story 🌿
I never thought I would be writing this. I never thought I would be begging for help just to keep my children warm, just to feed them one more meal. But here I am, reaching out to you, because I have no other choice.
My name is Rola. I am a mother of two beautiful children, and before October 7th, we had a life filled with love and laughter. We had a home. My children had their own room, filled with their toys and drawings. We would sit together on our balcony, drinking coffee in the early morning light. We had dreams, just like any other family.
But in an instant, it was all gone.
A missile struck. The earth shook beneath us. The air filled with dust and fire. My husband and son ran, stumbling over each other in terror. I stood frozen, the ringing in my ears drowning out my own screams. Our home was shattered—windows blown out, doors ripped from their hinges. And when I looked outside, our neighbor’s house, a place that once echoed with children's laughter, was nothing but rubble and ash.
That was just the beginning.
The bombs never stopped. Every night, I held my children close as the sky rained fire. The sound of explosions mixed with the cries of mothers searching for their babies in the darkness. I covered my children, whispering words of comfort, but how do you comfort a child who is terrified of dying in their sleep?
We had to leave. We walked away from everything—our home, our memories, the warmth of our life before. My children left behind their favorite toys, their books, their safe space. Now, we have nothing.
No home.
No food.
No clean water.
No way out.
I went to buy sugar the other day. It cost $20 for just a kilo. Food is disappearing, and the little that remains is impossible to afford. Every day, I fight to find just enough to keep my children alive.
I am exhausted. I am scared. I need your help.
I never imagined I would have to beg for my family’s survival. But today, I am.
Please, if you are reading this, help us. Help me save my children. Help us find shelter, food, a way to rebuild even a small piece of the life we lost. If we ever have the chance to leave, we need support. If we are forced to stay, we need a home again.
Every donation matters. Every share helps. Every voice that speaks for us keeps hope alive.
💚 Please donate if you can. Share our story. Help us survive. 💚
English Translation:
A dear friend of mine called me a few days ago. He needed money as his infant son hasn't eaten in more than 30 hours, and his son, who's no more than two years old, has been exhausted by hunger. After an hour, I called him so he can receive the money he asked for, but communications were cut off. Four days later, I called him to receive the money and he told me "No need, brother, the children are now with God."
It is catastrophic!
No more can be said!
To God we belong and to him we return.*
[*A qur'anic verse translated into English. It is quoted by Muslims during times of crisis, especially when someone dies]
End of translation
Israel, the US, and all those backing up this Genocide will be remembered for the blood on their hands.
Keep talking about Palestine!
Note: After consulting a professional, I edited my translation of "Ø§Ù„ØØ¯Ø« جلل" to be "it is catastrophic!". A suggested translation in the reblogs was "it is tragic!". If you need to comment on anything in my translation, please tell me and I'll look into it further to make sure everything is as accurate as possible. Thank you.
I also really like how araki made Pucci black because religious psychosis in the black community especially in America it's particularly strong and often leads people to do things that actively harmful towards people in the black community as well as everyone around them. With the belief that they are helping others or achieving a great divine goal, which is exactly what puci did. and dio being the one to brainwash him is really interesting because it's exactly how black people get brought into this idea of religious divinity by people essentially exploiting the black community that was already in a very bad state both mentally and economically the way that dio.
Overall I love Pucci as a character for the way he parallels what happens to many marginalized people that turned to a type of racial divinity fuelled by their need for change, growth and freedom from the society they live in
Stone Ocean isn’t just my favorite Jojo part but it’s my favorite piece of media. I think a big reason for that is because, to me at least, a lot of the themes and messages of the story feel inherently queer/trans coded. The biggest themes of the story are about memories, and what our pasts mean to us, how they shape us. We see how Jolyne and the others have pasts that make them judged, outsiders to society, traumatized. However, they all become more than what they once were and find their true selves. FF specifically embodies this so well. They literally find a new body that fits them better, making them happier. The life and body they were living in before was dull, near-meaningless and subject to the whim of other people. They express their authentic self, but have to move in caution because of that, and value their bodily autonomy over everything else.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, however, we have Pucci. In him, we see what refusing to critically assess yourself and reshape your ideas does, especially when religion is brought into the mix. His entire goal of wanting to have everybody’s fate known and set in stone isn’t him working past his trauma, it’s him literally being consumed by it. He claims to have good intentions, and genuinely does believe that. But because he isn’t able to face his fears head on, he winds down a dark path that leads him to become the opposite of what he wants was, so engulfed by his own bubble that he can’t see how hypocritical he’s become.
Probably wasn’t intended- (maybe?? since some people claim that shonen made Araki change Anasui from being a female, but who knows)- but this just mirrors being queer so well to me. The process of literally rebuilding yourself, while still honoring what value you can pull from your past. Meanwhile, people all around you try to frame you, spread lies and force their beliefs and rigid viewpoints on you. I love you Stone Ocean 🌊 💿 🦋
Hope everyone has a great valentines day ! < 3
Never forget that these celebrities, including those not included on this list, and so many more remained silent and therefore have been either genocidal apologists or complicit to genocide and terror against Palestinian people. Selena Gomez. Taylor Swift. Ariana Grande. Beyonce. Everyone with huge platforms who have said NOTHING, ya'll are shameful.
Im learning to enjoy drawing again!!
They bombed a hospital. No one intervened. So they bombed the rest.
They killed civilians and hostages waving white flags. No one intervened. So they did it on live TV.
They murdered starving people at an aid convoy. No one intervened. So they've attacked at least 3 more.
Israel is currently attacking the Al Shifa hospital in northern Gaza (March 18) with tanks and heavy gunfire, resulting in an increasing number of casualties and abductions including journalists who were reportedly severely beaten and taken to an unknown location.
Israel is literally relishing in its impunity. All we have been hearing from those in power is "concerns" and pathetic words of condemnation while Israel continues to boast about its atrocities, six months on.
Hey guys remember Nazi-era caricatures.
