In ASL And SSL, This Is The Gesture For "Inshallah," Which Means Means "God Willing"; It's Used To Express

5 panels that show 5 different people. The panels are in a sequence demonstrating American Sign Language and Saudi Sign Language for "Inshallah". The first panel shows a journalist in a press vest holding both hands, palms open, in front of her body. She is colored red and behind her are jagged white shapes meant to mimic rubble. The second panel shows a woman in a black hijab in front of a green background of Islamic geometric patterns and the silhouette of a mosque. She is touching her middle fingers to her thumbs, with the index, ring, and pinky fingers raised straight. The third panel shows a doctor in scrubs and white gloves, doing the same pose as the journalist in the first panel; palms up and open towards the viewer. He is colored in green, in front of a solid red background with the shapes of a red cross, a red crescent, heartbeat monitor lines, and a NICU unit. The fourth panel shows an Al-Qassam fighter dressed in a black hood, a long-sleeved shirt, and a vest with pockets along the belly. He is in front of a green backdrop of olive leaves overlaid with the leaf pattern from kuffiyeh scarves. He is doing the same hand position as the hijabi woman; hands facing forward, fingers pointed straight up except the middle finger and thumb which are pinched together. The fifth and final panel shows a little girl, toddler age, grasping onto an adult's hand to the side of the panel. Her hands are relaxed but reminiscent of the palms open and out position of the journalist and the doctor. Both she and the adult hand are colored red, in front of a backdrop of grey-white abstract shapes resembling water and overlaid with the fishnet pattern from keffiyeh scarves.

In ASL and SSL, this is the gesture for "Inshallah," which means means "God willing"; it's used to express hope that a specific future event will come to pass.

In a few hours, a temporary ceasefire or "humanitarian pause" is going to start

But what happens after? Does israel get to resume bombing on Monday, business as usual? 4 days is not enough to even begin digging out all the bodies from the rubble.

Inshallah, we will not stop at a ceasefire

Inshallah, we will see complete liberation for Palestine

πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ Things you can do below πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

πŸ‰ SHARE posts from Palestinians, especially journalists on the ground (copy link on IG works just as well as sharing?). They're literally dying for that footage πŸ™ƒ let's make sure it counts

πŸ‰ DONATE an E-sim @connectinghumanity_ on IG

πŸ‰ BOYCOTT brands listed by @bdsnationalcommittee on IG

Official boycott targets: AXA, Puma, Carrefour, Siemens, Ahava, HP, Sodastream, any products from Israel

Organic boycott targets: Domino's, McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Wix

πŸ‰ PRESSURE your governments & officials to call for a ceasefire and #InvokeGenocideConvention at the ICJ (rootsaction.org)

it was also important to me to include an Al-Qassam fighter in this, because they're often scapegoated by western media, and also in well-meaning allies who say "but civilians are not Hamas"

most civilians are not Hamas, but they don't denounce them either. Palestinians call them freedom fighters, protectors

Because the resistance is not a bunch of evil, violent outliers; they are as much victims of the occupation as the women, children, and non-combatants are

I will never condemn boys who live along the coast but have never seen the sea.

Palestinians are not "animals."

They are not "children of darkness."

Little kids are rescuing cats and trying to comfort them when they themselves are terrified.

A doctor broke down when his father and brother came into the trauma unit.

And several of his colleagues hugged and gathered to comfort him.

Journalists are playing with babies.

Doctors are refusing to evacuate hospitals because their patients can't and refuse to leave them.

There's a little boy who gives tea to the journalists and thanks them for spreading their stories.

He's displaced at the hospital, his home is gone.

A kid was asked what he wants to be when he grows up and he said kids in Gaza don't grow up.

Kids are writing their names on their arms so they can be identified.

Momin Kireka is a Palestinian journalist who was disabled by an Israeli attack in 2008.

And despite the difficulty in moving around, he vows to continue to show the world the truth.

Awni, a young Palestinian boy has a gaming YouTube channel he loved so much.

He was killed in the bombing.

Mohammed Sami was an artist who's dream was to open an art gallery.

He was playing with the kids to raise their spirits. And the next day he was killed.

They are victims.

They are going through unimaginable horrors and still find it in their hearts to be kind.

They have hopes and dreams just like you and I.

They are people.

And they deserve to be recognised and known as such.

The more I get back into liking, loving and lusting on people, the more I'm reminded what a sanitized, segregated lie queers have been built into.

I've met the sweetest, prettiest queens who tell me "Well, I'm a transsexual. Sometimes I call myself a transman because both my trans self and my manhood are me."

New friends tell me about the sexcapades their closed polycule gets up to that they just watch because they're a kinky ace.

There's staunch lesbians who helped the love of their life transition as a transmasc, gay men begging to be topped by trans men with the fattest tits.

Older queers don't hesitate to shout "oh, like Prince!" when I tell them I'm androgyne. Vanilla questioning men will text me day after day before shyly confessing I'm their dream guy. Closeted trans women ask to kiss me because I'm their dream girl. Doms and subs who melt when they realize I'm both and neither, and they didn't know somebody like me existed.

There's vanilla lesbians on Grindr and acearos who have shown me love deeper than I thought possible and guydykes kissing girlfags and MtFtMtX elders and throuples that have so much affection that they just collectively parent babygays who got disowned.

Everybody is so beautiful! There is so much love! It is no wonder a cruel world has a vested interest in suppressing queerness when humanity is so expansive to us.

i don't think people take me too serious when i say i'm legally blind. Like, guys I am legally never allowed to drive, I need assistance with a lot of stuff because I can't see. People both irl and online tend to be like "oh but you're not THAT BAD OFF" it's not a thing of whether my eyes are "that bad off" it doesn't matter, they're still blind. i still use magnifying and screen readers. i'm learning braille because my eyes are getting progressively worse and I'd like to be able to still read.

I may not be totally blind, but that's the thing, a lot of blind people AREN'T Totally blind. Blindness is a spectrum. and i don't think a lot of people realize that. And I'm just as valid in my blindness as someone on the spectrum with better eyesight than me, or someone with worse.

(This is OK to reblog. I hope that sighted people who might read this really get it into their heads that blindness is a spectrum...)

Not to make a serious post too much but remember how angry everyone rightly was about bread companies adding sesame because it's cheaper to poison people than clean your machinery?

Yeah well it's happening in other foods. I already posted about Kellogg's doing it to cereal bars and Austin Snack Crackers but now it's in greens CVS granola bars and Jenny Fucking Craig cheesecake which btw record level they added EVERY allergen to that shit.
