I know I've said this a hundred times but if you're worried about palestinian fundraisers being scams at least consider donating to MSF. It's a highly reputable organization which has broken its long-standing neutrality to denounce Israel in front of the UN. Here's all the aid MSF is providing to Gazans (documentation available in multiple languages).

I hate linguistic anthropology. Why? One of the most influential experiments in linguistic anthropology involved teaching a chimp asl. One of the most influential linguistics is named Noam Chomsky. You know what the chimp’s name was?

Nim Chimpsky.

Fucking monkey pun.

And this is in textbooks, in documentaries, everywhere. And everyone just IGNORES THIS GOD AWFUL PUN cause of how important the experiment was. But

BUT LOOK AT THIS SHIT. FUCKING NIM CHIMPSKY. I HATE THIS WHOLE FIELD.

TIL “Yankee Doodle” was written by the British to mock americans. “Doodle” is thought to come from the German “dödel”, meaning “fool” or “simpleton” and “macaroni,” a flamboyantly stylish type of dress, painting the Yankees as morons who thought placing a feather in one’s cap made them a “dandy.”

Hello 👋

When I look at my children today, I see questions in their eyes that I cannot answer. Before the war, our lives were full of hope and dreams. We had a warm home, opportunities to work and study, and children who played and laughed.

Today, getting clean water is a daily battle. We search for every drop with longing to quench our children's thirst. My children, Zeina, Eileen, Yamen, and our little one who was born amidst this devastation, suffer from water scarcity and constant displacement.

In addition to the children's suffering, I am now facing a serious health issue. I have a herniated disc in the fourth and fifth vertebrae, making movement and daily tasks very challenging. In these circumstances, it has become difficult to provide the basics for my children, let alone the medical care I need.

We live in constant fear, searching for safety, but there is no safe place. We desperately need your support and assistance. Please share our story and help us in any way possible, whether through donations or spreading our message. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a big difference in our lives.

Help us live with dignity and give our children a chance for a better future.🇵🇸🌷🍉🙏❤️

global islamophobia is a very real and dangerous threat, it is institutionalised in the world's largest and richest nations, in the first and the third world and it is currently deployed in the defense of a genocide. i don't think people are taking it seriously – almost no lessons were learned from the war on terror, no restitution made and now as it takes on new forms i expect we will see it begin to be normalised in spaces where it was previously carefully talked around.

They're quite close to their goals, please boost!

fuck the dc pride parade, they let israelies not only wave their flag of genocide and apartheid, but one of those devils was even marching with a sign that read "WHEN IS THE PRIDE PARADE IN GAZA AGAIN?"

sorry i can’t even begin to fully unpack the absolute disconnected, warped, maybe even soulless line of thinking for a billionaire to ignore people saying that we need her help raising money for families to evacuate a life or death situation.. and then two days later release another copy of a cd that we all already bought because god knows she apparently needs more money. like im just staring at that email from taylornation and asking what the fuck

[apoeticmindset]

wait for a surprise

I know I'm a bit late to saying this but frankly if I found out a secret society of magic-users were just playing nonsense sports and making up slurs for the rest of us instead of helping us out with famines or leukemia I think I'd apply for a job with my local witch hunters

Seeing a lot of posts about the Palestinian flag, and it got me thinking about indigenous flags around the world.

Maori:

Kalaallit Nunaat:

Haudenosaunee

Nunatsiavut:

Australian Aboriginal:

Torres Strait Islands:

Rapa Nui:

Kurdistan:

Sami:

Ainu:

Of course, these are just a handful. May they all reclaim their stolen lands.

Before the war, after I left Gaza for Germany, I used to call my dad almost everday and tell him about my day. He would tell me how everyone else was doing and say that Salah,my little nephew, kept asking where I was.

Now, I hardly ever reach my parents or any of my siblings.I don't think Salah even remembers who I am any more as he struggles to carry water containers. I always find myself agonizing and wondering if I'll ever meet my family again, whether the newborns will see me one day and know that their uncle longs to hold them in his arms.

Every time I look at my dad's picture in our home, smiling and surrounded by his grandchildren, it breaks my heart into a million pieces. The house he dreamed the kids would grow up in was leveled to the ground in a split second. Nothing is left, not even both his shoe shops where he worked so hard to build a future for us all. My siblings are unable to work or finish their studies. There are no schools left for the children. There is no proper food, water, or sanitation, no life; only death and rubble all around.

When my brother sent me a photo of my dad lighting a fire, he still had that same old smile on his face. I was relieved to see him somewhat hopeful but it broke my heart even more. My father is the most resilient and hard-working man I've ever known. He always supported us in whatever we wanted to achieve. His only hope was that his grandkids would grow up safely and happily in their home. He never complained from work and taught us the true meaning of sacrifice and perseverance. Instead of living peacefully with his family, he, the kids, and everyone else have to endure life in a makeshift tent,God knows for how much longer, while their lives are constantly threatened by airstrikes, starvation, and disease. No child, elder, or adult should go through such hardships for this long.

As the injustice persists, we only find solace and hope because the free people of this world are still standing with us. Please continue to support us any way you can. I don't even have the words any more to say how grateful I am to everyone. You have already done so much for us but we need you now more than ever.

Please donate if you can and reblog as many times as possible.
