Joy to the Queers

There's laughing in the streets,

Sounds of good joy

Flags flow in the wind,

Music blasting in the open air

And to think,

That what got us here

Was Black trans women

And drag queens

After decades of hate,

We finally thrive

After decades of fear

We finally strive

Queer history is here,

And we will not hide

We will not sit and watch

The tides go by

Queer joy is important,

Maybe more than pride

Joy that we are here,

Joy that others are near

Joy that we can live

Not just survive

Joy that all of us

Can finally thrive

Joy to the Queers,

Ignoring the jeers

Joy to the Queers,

Well into their years

Sipping on beer

Joy to the Queers,

Who died

But were not forgotten

Joy to us all,

For making it this far

As we march in the streets,

People will hear us sing

No one can ignore,

The joy of a thousand Queers

Occupied Palestine ("Israel"), is quite literally beating the dead horse that is the "Hamas" or "Oct. 7 2023" arguments. Which should not be surprising to anyone as the U.S., U.K., Canada, France, Spain and Germany have all done similar when it came to talking about the people they have committed Genocide and/or war crimes against. Notably the U.S.'s long list of people including (but not limited to);

Iraqis, Afghans, Haitians, Laotians, Vietnamese, Koreans, Japanese, Puerto Ricans, Black Americans and Africans, Mexicans, and countless of Indigenous people of Turtle Island/American.

The Third Reich did the same with their propaganda to push and encourage men and women to help with the war and genocide from 1933-1945. In reality, it's no surprise that Occupied Palestine's legal team is continuing in the footsteps of Daddy Genocidal Joe and Mommy Blood Money Royalty.

Occupied Palestine is continuing to shove their own feet into their mouths, and most of the world has had enough of them saying the same lies over and over again. However, some people are more focused on punishing them before freeing Palestine.

Remember, we have to walk before we can run. In WW2 the primary focus during the war was stopping the Axis powers, then the focus shifted to pushing them once they flew the white flag.

We have to stop the genocide before we punish it or else Palestine will continue to suffer and will suffer even more.

Take baby steps. Listen to the people of Palestine, support South Africa and Yemen in their efforts of stopping the genocide. We have to walk before we can run.

From the river

to the sea,

Palestine will be free 🕊️

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

Be furious.

Be absolutely enraged.

It’s actually messed up how few people know about that shit, please look it up if you aren’t aware because it’s fucked and it deserves to be known

The thing I don't understand is when I say free Palestine, so many people think that means I hate the Israeli people. That I don't care if they die.

I care about the Israeli people.

I care about the Israeli hostages that were shot down by their own military.

I care about all Israeli hostages in general.

I care about the Israeli men being thrown in jail because they refuse to assist in the "war" around them.

I care about the Israeli people who don't support the genocide happening infront of their very eyes.

Even the Israeli people who do, I don't wish death upon them, or whatever hateful thing you think I do.

When I say free Palestine, I don't mean I hate the Israeli people.

When I say free Palestine, I mean Free Palestine

I've said this many times before -if you call yourself a feminist and you're silent about ANY person being oppressed around the world by violent dictators/regimes/governments (among many injustices) you're not a feminist. If your feminism isn't intersectional, it's not feminism -it's white feminism. If you don't know about or aren't talking about Sudan and the rampant sexual violence against Sudanese women by a terrorist genocidal militia -then GET TO KNOW and start talking about it because this is horrifying. I'm so tired of seeing mostly white women come to the frontlines of issues when it only benefits or impacts them. I'm beyond embarrassed for you.

It's The Palestinians Who Have The Right To Defend Themselves

But instead, the U.S., Britain and other European powers finance, arm and back to the hilt Israel’s occupation, including the siege of Gaza – Precisely to prevent Palestinians obtaining the arms that would allow them to protect themselves against Israeli military might.

Am I Human?

Am I human?

I ask myself this question,

thoughts rushing around my head

What's wrong with me?

Why am I like this?

Why is my heart empty?

Why does my own community hate me?

Why do they exclude me?

I feel as if I am not human,

given that everyone else is focused on romance and sex

I wish I knew why,

what it feels to love someone like that

Maybe then I would feel human

Why am I pushed aside?

Ain't I as Queer as everyone else?

Am I even human to you?

I do not purely feel contempt inside,

Why do you think that?

I just wish I was like all of you,

maybe then I would be seen

Maybe then,

just maybe,

I'd feel human once again

But why do I have to change,

for you to include me

Ain't I human as well?

Ain't I as Queer as everyone else?
