I’m So Obsessed With Bows ୨ৎ

“It takes courage to live softly - to move slow, to be gentle, to not rush to judgment, to take your time, to speak unhurriedly, to fully listen to someone without being so readied to interrupt and speak, to not force or hustle, or to stay connected to your life force and deeper wellspring of creativity. It takes fearlessness to feel worthy of not constantly taking in new information. It takes an act of bravery to de to feel safe to just be.”

— India Ame'ye

[Until the Trashiest Boy Toy Exorcist Ren-kun Crushes Me in His Embrace]

It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.

decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years

UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire

US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire

Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests

Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine

Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza

🚨 Did you know you can call for ceasefire in Gaza by calling in sick this upcoming Monday?

Esral Shikh has organised a worldwide campaign to call for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. Here are the details:

Total Strike on Monday, 11 Dec 2023.

It is necessary to paralyse the movement of life and the economic wheel in all countries so everyone feels directly affected by the genocide happening in Gaza.

Start making communications, spreading the word, mobilise your communities.

This strike includes transportation, aviation, trade, banks, ports, and even schools and universities.

Here’s how you can join the strike:

Don't buy anything (cash or online)

Don't use your bank account, and don't make any transaction

Don't leave your house

Deactivate your Facebook accounts (you can reactivate them later)—please make sure to follow the palestinians on other social media platforms to keep updated on their posts

Leave 1-star reviews on Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook on your app store and play store for silencing pro-palestinian voices and supporting genocide.

I would also suggest to not stream anything for the whole day (incl spotify, netflix, youtube, hulu, paramount, amazon prime, etc)

Tweet using the hashtag #StrikeForGaza

[For US citizens] sign your strike card as well

Do all these things together for maximum pressure

We are protesting but our protests are going largely unnoticed by the people in power, so we need to increase pressure.

Stop all operations on a working day, let the world feel even a fraction of what it’s like to have your life put on hold. It’s only a day. We can do this. If we mobilise and get people together who support this cause, we can make this happen.

17,400+ people have been killed. 7,000+ of which are children. 1.9M people have been displaced. Please. You owe it to them to speak up. Please stop this. Please call for permanent ceasefire.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!!

It is short notice for some places, I apologise for that. These posts only just started circulating and showing up. Regardless, doesn’t hurt to try.
