if the condition of the children of gaza doesn't move you, i don't know what will. there is no school this year. there was no school last year either. no clean water or healthy food. no medicines for when they hurt themselves. no toys to play with. no way for them to come out of this genocide unscathed. it's with a heavy heart that i've realized that childhood in gaza is an empty promise.

my friend alaa [ @alaakh998 ] lives in gaza. she has two little kids aged 4 and 6. i cannot help but think about them. how are they doing? what lies in their future? are they okay? I've come to the realization that they wont be safe unless they're able to evacuate from gaza.

the rafah crossing is closed as of now. alaa is fundraising in hopes that she can collect enough money to address her immediate needs and eventually evacuate when the crossing opens. she needs to buy a tent and medicine and supplies and food.

please donate to help her buy these things and ensure her children's well being.

whats happening at the dnc might be my limit, not because it is singularly cruel for american politicians to ignore all the people they've killed in the middle east and their families who loved them, but because it's really hard to watch people who think of themselves as good people, these rational liberals, championing a big tent and progress and rights and equality, act as though the biggest problem with a genocide is how inconvenient it is for them

the democratic party has made zero concessions for palestinians. zero. saying you want a ceasefire or you're working tirelessly for a ceasefire while you facilitate a genocide for ten months straight is not a concession to voters, it's a lie. it's lying to voters, and the only people who believe it are the people who find it convenient to believe. the good people, the rational liberals, who champion a big tent and rights and equality but they just don't care if 15,000 palestinian children are killed and 20,000 are unaccounted for. they don't care if a bomb drops today or tomorrow, as long as it isn't inconvenient to kamala harris's campaign.

palestinians aren't inconveniencing the democrats. the democrats, in their role as the current leaders of the american war machine, are killing them. they are inconveniencing themselves. but a genocide, you know, it's not an inconvenience. it's parents burying children and children burying parents, saying "we're so lucky they died in one piece. we didn't have to collect their parts. it's a privilege to die in one piece these days."

talking about this in terms of convenience to the american voter, i don't really know if i can do that kind of thing anymore.

i think love is stored in nighttime conversations and “did you eat yet” and books left outside your door and “i waited to watch this with you” and splitting something in half to share and “im proud of you” and folded towels and “you can pick” and heads on shoulders and “you’re right, that was shitty. im sorry” and knocks on doors and “DINNER!” and stupid jokes and “hey i got this for you” and coffee made just right and… there are so many ways people say i love you silently every day over and over again if you only listen
