Here is a reading list of pieces about Palestinian Resistance curated by the Popular University and the Palestinian Youth Committee
In the introductory they say,
"We believe that education must be wielded in service of struggle."
If you're from a Western Country, the US especially. I urge you to look into this document. Pick out a few resources, read them, then SHARE THEM with your circle. There are English texts, and Arabic ones you can translate. It's no secret our education system is flawed, but especially when it comes to the history of the US' involvement in the Middle East it is purposely flawed.
The control of information and the viewpoint we've been taught is the foundation that western media builds it's propaganda on. It relies on us not to seek further that what we've been told, so inorder to combat it we must do just that.
If you're in academia, prompt your teachers to talk about Palestine. You could send them this list. But above all, do not be afraid to correct them if they're wrong, and if what they're teaching is bias. Do not let them get away with calling this anything but what it is is; a genocide. This goes for any social groups, and environments right now.
I know a lot of people who follow me are young, highschool or college age. Know that if you do not have financial means to help Palestine this is how you can, not just by sharing information online but the folks in your community who are disconnected and rely on broadcasted media. As the PYC said, it is a service, and a great start for you to follow other paths of educating, and aiding Palestine.
If you are financially able,

That’s when I realized one thing it could be…
Growing pains…
#i dont think ive felt growing pains once in my life cause i grow so slowly#im only 5'3" and i think ive stopped growing completely#im inconsolable

ok but like is it normal to fall in love a little with everyone you've had a positive interaction with? cause I do. all the fucking time. and I fall in love with people several times over, just the tiniest bit at a time until I have so much love for them it's spilling out into every conversation, every look. any and all expressions of love I give them is overflowing with a sort of soft fondness. I just can't help it. I have so much love to give and it just feels wasted if I don't give it to every person I meet.
I'm not very much of a people person, but I am a people lover. if I have even the simplest conversation with someone, the smallest interaction, rest assured that I have fallen a little in love. maybe I've fallen in love with the simplest or smallest thing about them, but I've fallen nonetheless. i've fallen in love with faces and accents and different pronunciations of words. expressions and hairstyles and little quirks when they speak.
I think my definition of falling in love is a little different. most associate falling in love with something romantic. i associate it with all kinds of love. romantic, but also platonic and familial and and even self love. love for everything around me.
my favorite people to fall in love with are my friends. a close second is some of my family. I've fallen in love with the way I was able to bounce back into talking with an old friend as if nothing had ever changed. I've fallen in love with the way my grandma pronounces the word mix. I've fallen in love with the way my best friend accepts all the love I give her, and reciprocates it in full.
it's a wonderful feeling, love. loving and being loved. having so much love to give and being able to give it. all this time I've talked about loving people, but honestly I fall in love with everything. clouds. my stuffed animals. driving fast. nature. the feeling of falling asleep. waking up to the sound and smell of a fire on cold mornings while camping. I could go on and on about all the things i've fallen in love with over the years.
#i like to think that everything i fall in love with falls a little in love with me back#that every bit of love i give to the universe is reciprocated#also can you tell that i believe heavily in soulmates?#its one of the things that keeps me going#the thought of not being able to meet one of my soulmates in the future almost breaks me#or of them missing the opportunity to meet me#im pround to announce that ive met at least one so far#and i cant wait to meet any more i might have

why is it that sometimes I feel on top of the world yet in the next moment I want to hurl myself into the moon
#maybe id sit for a little while just contemplating life and shit#who knows maybe id sprinkle in a little existential crisis just for shits and giggles#might be fun#or id just ya know.. die cause i hurled myself into the moon#but wheres the fun in that
