people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.
jewishvoiceforpeace: This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.
We demand a ceasefire now to save lives. To stop a genocide. The Israeli military has already erased 47 entire Palestinian families from Gaza's population registry; all members of the family, from all generations, are dead. This is loss beyond measure.
The U.S. is also responsible for this horror. 80% of the bombs that the Israeli military drops on Gaza, that are used to kill these children, are American-made. We are called to do everything we can to stop this genocide.
As we continue to demand a ceasefire and fight for a future where everyone is free and equal and safe, we refuse to forget these lives. We will always affirm that every life is precious.
Every single one of these deaths was preventable. When we say Never Again-for anyone, this is who we mean. Never Again is right now.

i'll just leave this here for anyone who sees "from the river to the sea" as a threat
Hi there , I hope youโre doing well.
I recently shared my story about the challenges my family and I face in Gaza ๐ต๐ธ and would be so grateful if you could help by reblogging it ๐.
Every share brings more awareness and support ๐ซถ, and if youโre able to donate ๐, even a little makes a huge difference ๐. Thank you for caring and for any help you can offer ๐.
Stay strong. I hope your message reaches far and wide, and that support comes your way in every form: awareness, donations, whatever it takes. You deserve peace. You deserve safety. You deserve better.
I usually keep my private feelings and thoughts to myself and don't usually mix politics with leisure, but I can't do that with this. Not when the people of Palestine are begging us not to leave them alone while they're being brutalized. If you haven't vocalized your support, do it now. It's having a positive impact, people's opinions are changing. If you feel like you don't know enough to speak on it, then come talk to me. I'll help you, but please. To stay silent now is to tacitly support genocide.
Don't look away from this. Look at their faces, remember their humanity. Reach inside and find the empathy you hold. Don't forget them, and don't let the people who have condemned them forget, either. May they feel even a little of the grief and fear they've inflicted on the people of Palestine.
the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???

sometimes i think adulthood just means constantly searching for and chasing that joy you so effortlessly felt during your childhood
