you all stopped talking about palestine randomly, hoping it'd end soon. really shows your performative morality. keep talking. keep sharing. keep boycotting. your silence is adding to destruction. be on the right side of history that will continue to last.

where have your words gone this past week as 6,000 bombs have been dropped on palestinian people? many people im mutuals with/follow on here said a few things awhile ago, then dipped.

i understand wanting to continue to post about your stans, and wanting to keep writing. please do so, it's what you enjoy and are here for. but you have the privilege to do both that AND share awareness for the genocide happening. lets not forget our access to further educate ourselves.

[Video Description: An Instagram reel by storyofstyle depicting Gaza, before October 7th and the following days after. In the before clips, it shows Gaza's architecture, beaches, food, Palestinians walking on the street, people smiling and happy, and some workers scooping ice cream. In the after clips, it shows the destruction and bombing of buildings, Palestinians wailing, people and children injured, people being pulled from rubble, and people crowded in the aftermath of bombed places. End Video Description.]

my favorite implication from npmd's pro shot is that the chasitys are both respectful of pronouns and also deeply homophobic. like karen is the one that accuses ziggy, using their pronouns effortlessly, and then later grace says that ruth is in hell for being bisexual. it's so funny. oh you're trans? oh cool! please tell me your pronouns and chosen name so i can condemn you to hell properly :)

If you don't know what to do to help Palestine, you can join the boycott of McDonald's, Starbucks and Disney+ as they are supporting the ethnic cleansing of palestinians.

Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?

This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:

  • BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/
  • Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/
  • Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel
  • Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one
  • You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them
  • Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture
  • If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already
  • Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything
  • Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything
  • See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.
  • Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare
  • KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.

Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.

Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.

If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.

1. Palestinians in Gaza tell me that the extreme smell of death from the THOUSANDS of decaying bodies that are trapped in the rubble has gotten unbearable in many locations.⁣

2. Also because of the sheer volume of death and decay, flies are completely out of control. They are now everywhere and are inescapable.⁣

3. The number of working toilets with water to flush is down 90% across much of Gaza. People wait in line for hours, sometimes 4-5 hours, to use toilets. As a result, people are having to go wherever they can. Toilet paper and feminine products are now scarce. ⁣

🚨 As a result of all of this, early signs that sickness and disease will spread are starting to appear.
