If any of you ever feel like what you're doing for Palestine isn't helping anything, I'll tell you right now it's helping me. I know it is fortifying all of us who have been in this fight for years to see so many people willing to speak up. It has never been like this before.
The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.
Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how "the blame" is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.
Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.
We see you. We see you standing in solidarity with us and with Palestinians. We love you. Thank you.
Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!
I'll give him a hug, I'll give him so many hugs until he feels better.
I'll even make 100's of birthday cakes to celebrate his birthday with π₯²

I look at you, see as your eyes dig in mine.
I feel your warmth, feel it etch under my skin and into the balm of my soul.
How it your heart beats against the side of my ear while mine beats in rhythm to catch up.
My dear, my heart, my soul, how much I wish I could give it all.
I would lay, bow, and kneel in front of you. All for you to see the bareness, rawness, and my vulnerability for you.
Because as their is love, their is trust with you.
May you forever be ingrained in my skin, my heart, and my soul of which you have possessed.
This is gonna be something I add little by little. I know it's not exactly what I normally post, but it's something I've been wanting to do for some time now.
I would appreciate some comments on what you think of my poems when I post them. It would help me improve, which is all I really want to come from this.
If you like my poems, then thank you for taking the time to read it!

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

Okay, so. I decided that I am gonna write the idea I was thinking about doing.
One problem, I have no idea who is gonna be Marlene and who is gonna be Him!!!
Like, I got everyone else figured out except for those two, like how would I go and do it.
If you have any suggestions I will take it, it might make this process go just a bit faster and easier to write if I have who will be who!!
Thanks!
