Reminder that communications in all of Gaza have been cut off for the past three days. This means no one can make calls to check on family members within Gaza or to report and call for help/ambulances following Israeli airstrikes. As a result, many end up dying due to injuries or being trapped under the rubble with no possible way of notifying anyone. Of course this also goes hand in hand with Israel intensifying their bombardment of every part of Gaza after having isolated it from the world.

I was just informed by Tumblr that a neonazi with a swastika pfp saying "Jews are my enemy", is in fact NOT against Tumblr's Terms of Service so they wont be removing the post. I guess theyre too busy removing Gazan fundraisers and trans women's blogs. This fucking website.
there is no amount of "contributions to society" that justifies the intentional subjugation of specially selected people groups (which by design maintains the artificial elevation and social and historical preciousness of such "contributors" in the first place). idc how often somebody quotes some poetry or holds up a watch. fuck that. whole apparatus down to the language is blood garbage and unmarked graves. At least stop lying even if you can't fix it
