If you want to help someone in Gaza right now please share this post

There is a man, a photojournalist named Yousef Abu Saeed, in Gaza right now who needs medical assistance. He has cancer and the only hospital in Gaza that could treat cancer patients was blown up. It’s gone and he needs help getting to Egypt to get treatment.

Please donate to his gof^ndme. His goal is $30,000 including papers to get into Egypt and as of 01/14/24 his goal is at $15,465. He’s halfway there, which is remarkably close and only half as much is need to help save his life.

Share this post and help Yousef get the medical help he needs

Edit: This fundraiser just earned almost 2k in less than an hour because people shared it, PLEASE SPREAD, you don’t know who or how many people could reach and help Youssef

look. i’m sick and fucking tired of seeing such horrible and inhumane responses to the global strike for palestine happening this week. it’s not just some “tumblr phenomenon”. nobody is forcing you to take off work. nobody is forcing you to take off school. use your brains and figure out that the strike is for justice in palestine. the point is to DO WHAT YOU CAN. even if that just means reblogging posts, telling a friend who might be able to do more, participate in the boycotts, make informative posts yourselves. i know that is all do-able to the majority of you. have a heart. this is not supposed to be comfortable. this is not supposed to be nice. innocent lives in Gaza are being killed by the second and the strike is to keep up the pressure for a ceasefire. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA. 🇵🇸

Very sad to hear Motaz apologize for choosing safety and evacuating as if he owes the world anything.

If anything the world owes him an apology. He kept on going despite his mental health decreasing day by day.

May he live a long and happy life, so he can tell his story to future generations.

to ensure my stance is clear: i am pro-palestine and anti-zionist, but i am not pro-antisemitism or anti-jewish.

I will be queuing this post for every day this week. IDs in Alt text!

Ūropi (Europe)

Ūropi, also known by its indigenous name “Europe”, meaning “wide-gazing” or “broad of aspect”, is a small continent first discovered in 1806 by Moehanga of Ngāpuhi, although indigenous Europeans had been living there for many thousands of years. Modern researchers believe the indigenous Europeans originally migrated from the Middle East, and over time split into separate tribes or “kingdoms,” with many retaining their ancient rangatira (called “monarchs” or “nobility”) to this day.

While many see Ūropi as timeless and exotic, indigenous Europeans have actually adapted well to the modern economy, often exporting cultural products like baguettes and vodka, the former of which may be recognisable as the basis for bánh mì.

after roe v wade got overturned under biden (a constitutional right we had for FIFTY years) i don’t believe any of the goofy “biden is better for domestic issues” rhetoric . you are lying to me and you are lying to yourself

so sorry for not understanding how the us government works and how powerless the democrats are. the president bypassing congress twice to sell weapons to a genocidal entity killing civilians got me acting silly. my fault

South Africa's accusations against Israel in the International Court of Justice. It's over three hours long, but well worth the watch if you are able to make the time.

“Israel is acting according to international law”

was this after or before they dropped phosphorus on Gaza?🤨

Or turned off all the water and stopped food from going in?

“The idf is the most moral army in the world and isn’t trying to kill people”

so bombing civilians,stealing their belongings and stealing a child is moral?

from Tamara Jaber, 12/Jan/2024:

Caption: "I always say I won’t be shocked. And then I’m shocked. @bbcnews @skynews @cnn @msnbc and all the others. We see you for what you are."

Can we talk about the fact that in many so called "first World countries" no channel is broadcasting the International Court of Justice situation?

We’re at that point where a lot of western media outlets are just blatantly ignoring what is currently happening in Palestine because they can no longer get away with “Both side”-ing the issue to justify a literal genocide.

fit goes hard

this is from the Palestinian Obi and Dress Exhibition run by Maki Yamamoto, who runs the Palestinian Embroidery Obi Project (link is to an article about it). she works with women in the West Bank and Gaza as well as Japanese artisans to produce and sell embroidered obi (kimono sashes) to high-end Japanese markets, ensuring that the Palestinian women get paid fairly for their work. she's been to the West Bank numerous times, including many trips to high-tension areas like Al-Khalil and Bil'in. this photo, where the model is wearing a Hirbawi kufiya and a mother of pearl carving from Bethlehem in addition to the kimono, is sourced from Yamamoto's Twitter. by the way, mother of pearl carving is a longstanding handicraft tradition in Bethlehem that seems like it's less known compared to things like tatreez and olive wood carving. there are some really beautiful Palestinian mother of pearl pieces out there.

Isreal is trying to force the world to move on from its disproven atrocity propaganda, and we should never allow it to do so.

Keep reminding the world.

Name the lairs.

Hey since TERFs buried the original, higher quality recording, here’s the only surviving recording of trans activist Sylvia Rivera’s infamous “Y'all Better Quiet Down” speech, along with full transcription, now free and open on Archive.org. The transphobic fucks can try their best to scrub us from history, but we’re not going anywhere.

Oh wow a piece of lgbt history..

since OP link is dead

i wake up thirsty and i think of palestine. i go to the doctor’s office and i think of palestine. a sign in the corner of the waiting room says ‘this is a place of healing, disruptive behavior will not be tolerated’ and i think of palestine. they probably weren’t thinking of bombs and snipers and mass graves in parking lots. i call my parents and i think of palestine. i drive to the grocery store and i think of palestine. i look at the clear blue sky and i think of palestine. i put the dishes away and i think of palestine. i feed my cat and i think of palestine. i listen to music and i think of palestine. i read poetry and i think of palestine. i text my friends and i think of palestine. i think of palestine and i think of palestine and i think of palestine

It will never stop being funny to me that the Titan's Tower incident between Jason and Tim happened right after fucking Jericho did the exact same thing but was way, WAY scarier about it.

JERICHO repeatedly attacks them, endangers civilians, possesses multiple people, is out of his head with rage and sorrow at feeling expendable and feeling like teen vigilantism was what got him and Donna killed. Hell he even shoots Bart through the leg, which fucks him up so bad he has to go through unanesthetized surgery and that trauma prompts a whole ass character growth spurt! Jericho both while possessing Slade and when they fight him in Raven's mind trap thing is like seriously bad news! He's playing for keeps and intent on really hurting them! It takes a full team effort over multiple comics to trap the guy

Then fucking JASON sneaks in ever so carefully, knocks a few of them out, feels a bit bad about even doing that, and has like a waffle house parking lot fist fight with Tim in a party city Robin costume. And what's he do afterwards? He just fucking leaves and never bothers them again! He doesn't wanna kill any of them! He's just a sad wet sack who doesn't know what he's doing with himself

The Teen Titans really do gather around Timmy after their fight lookin at that wall like, "Fucking seriously?? This is the second time this week!"

oh my god the BIRDS
