Imagining What Could Have Been

i really dont want to come off as an asshole and act like im not sympathetic but i think the idea that it is an appropriate thing to do to respond to posts about about positive experiences made by strangers with long and graphic vents about how your own life is nothing like that really has to end. i’m very sorry you’re going through that. but it’s just. really not appropriate.

Free Palestine interlude 🇵🇸🇵🇸

Edit: It's not a Jewish state, it's a Zionist one.

“i don’t owe anyone anything” is one of the most incredibly callous and damaging phrases to enter popular vernacular. you owe everyone kindness and consideration, always. understand the idea of a social contract. you cannot reap the benefits of human society and interaction while maintaining such a cold and thankless attitude about it. i mean you can but you’d be a bad person for it

i'm like a whore that's shy and also kinda quiet and moody and secretive and mysterious and reserved

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.

“Palestine can’t be real because there’s no P in Arabic” I’m about to blow your mind when I tell you we don’t say ‘Palestine’ in Arabic
