Israel has cut water, electricity and food to Palestinians in Gaza. They are buying 10.000 M16 rifles and plan to distribute to civilian settlers in the West Bank to hunt down Palestinians. They're bombing the only way out of Gaza through Egypt, after telling refugees to flee through it, and have threatened the Egyptian government in case they let aid trucks pass through. Entire families, generations, are being wiped out and left to wander the streets hoping they don't get bombed.

Palestinians are using their last minutes of battery to let the world know about their genocide and are being met with a wall of "What about Hamas? What about the beheaded babies? Killing children on either side is bad!" even though the propaganda claims have been debunked over and over again. How cruel is it to ask somebody to condemn themselves before their last words? Or before grieving the loss of their entire families? When there's no such disclaimer to Israelis even though their government has shown over and over genocidal intent? Like who are you even trying to appease? What will your wishy washy statement do against decades of zionist thought infiltrating evangelical and Jewish stablishmemts?

Take action. Israel will fall back if public opinion turns its tide. The UK fell back on its bloody decision to cut aid to Palestine under public scrutiny. The USAmerican empire spends $3.8 billion dollars annually solely on this proxy war while its people suffer under a progressively military regime as well. News outlets are canceling last minute on Palestinian speakers while letting Israelis tell lies unchecked. Palestinian refugees are being targeted in ICE establishments and mosques are already being hounded by the FBI. Europe, Canada and the US have banned pro-Palestine protests but people are still resisting. You have the chance to stop this from turning into repeat of the Iraq war.

I want to do something but there's hardly anything for me to do from Brasil besides spreading the word and not letting these testimonies fall on deaf ears. I'm asking you to do this same ant work from wherever you are.

thinking that what happened “wasn’t bad enough” is a sign that it was.

your brain wouldn’t be trying to protect itself from the reality of what happened if what happened didn’t hurt you.

questioning if your trauma “counts” as trauma is a sign of trauma.

Happy Pride Month

I think one of the biggest things the org took away from me was my ability to see the good in things, to recognize that even though there is injustice and suffering in the world, that people are also kind and compassionate. that having a body can be painful and tedious, but it can also feel so so good, to feel sunlight on your back for the first time in the spring, to sit by the ocean, to lay in the grass. 

they would always tell us that nothing good could come from this world, that it was rotten through and through, and that our only hope at living a fulfilling life was to make it to the new world, but that was all lies. this life, right now, is real, and it is good, and it matters.

Reblogging because I have never seen her post and it's the most important part of the story. I have, of course, already read the tweets of her former coworker, and in my Naivety I thought that there has been an happy ending. That the problem, in some way, has been resolved, or that she was compensated because she had to work harder than everyone else. I feel foolish thinking about it now. Her experience, as the experiences of many, highlight the known bigger problem of our society.

The society in which we live make us think we are constantly at war. There's a war between genders. There's a war between skins. There's constantly a war between people who don't want to lose privilege, people who don't think about the fact that their privilege can just be shared, instead of shifted, and people who need that privilege, to live and thrive.

But we are becoming more aware. Our generation, and the ones to come, are generations of fighters and for that, I'm optimistic about the future.

Hey gang!

1. Happy pride month!

2. Palestinian queer people exist. Don't let any amount of pinkwashing let you think Palestine isn't worth saving, boycotting for and protesting for. Don't let pride distract you from the terrors of the genocide happening in Palestine.

Free Palestine

End the apartheid

End the genocide
