It Has Been Hard For Me To Talk About How What Is Going On With Israel And Palestine Is Affecting Me

It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.

decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years

UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire

US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire

Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests

Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine

Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza

Just wanted to pop in and say I have been noticing a lot of younger people say you are the one who has changed their minds on censorship and "problematic" content in fiction and I want to thank you for it.

It's becoming a huge issue in fandom spaces that people are morally judging others for fiction and it is scary to see, especially because a lot of the younger people are queer and are parroting the same rhetoric conservatives do about queer fiction. Having someone like you speaking out against it and standing by your convictions is an amazing help in stopping these communities from becoming depressing witch hunts for those who are deemed "freaks". And us freaks appreciate it a lot 💖

You are very welcome.

btw. being kink positive means ALL kinks even the ones you think are "immoral" or whatever the fuck. "but what about-" especially that one. no sex act between consenting adults is immoral actually. kill the cop in your brain.

of course that doesn't mean you have to be comfortable with every kink. it's fine to have limits for your own personal stuff. but if you judge people based on what they do with their consenting partners, I cannot stress this enough, you are being a bad person.

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

🇵🇸 Things you can do below 🇵🇸

🍉 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 🙃 let's make sure it counts

🍉 DONATE an E-sim @connectinghumanity_ on IG

🍉 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

🍉 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.

if your friend asks you to misgender them in front of their family, do it. if your friend asks you to refer to their partner as their roommate or friend, do it. if they ask you to deadname them, do it. allyship is about prioritizing the safety of marginalized people, especially when it comes before your desire to fight their oppressors.
