‘I wish for death’ - Twelve-year-old Alma says. She fled bombing and shelling twice before the third place they sheltered was bombed, She was rescued from the rubble only to find out both her parents and all four of her siblings had been killed. She found her 18-month-old brother in an unimaginable state. Her little brother was beheaded from the rubble after the IOF massacred them.

Sometimes, I wish someone had fallen in love with me. It's always one-sided.

The submersible’s disappearance has arguably been the biggest news story of the last 24 hours. That’s understandable in some ways. For one thing, it’s a mystery: No one knows where it is or what state its passengers are in. There is, moreover, a race against time, as the sub has enough oxygen to make it until early Thursday, according to the Coast Guard—if, that is, the passengers are even still alive. There is both the possibility of an improbably happy ending or of unspeakable tragedy��another element of a compelling news story. And then there’s everything about the janky sub and its rich passengers, who have risked their lives on what is essentially a novelty expedition. Without knowing their fate, it has the feeling of something out of a Ruben Östlund film: These people are so wealthy they can take dangerous chances in a vessel the size of a Honda Odyssey, just for thrills.  Coverage of the missing submersible unintentionally illustrates something even more tragic, however. On June 14, what was likely the second-deadliest refugee and migrant shipwreck on record occurred when a boat carrying as many as 800 migrants sank off the Greek coast. Greek authorities had tracked the vessel and early signs suggest the country’s coast guard was slow to act despite numerous warning signs. This is a huge news story, one that hits at both Europe’s ongoing refugee crisis and the callousness with which many European nations treat migrants who are desperately trying to reach their shores. Yet it has received scant attention in the American media—and the missing submersible story has dwarfed what coverage there has been.

chronically ill black women get so left behind, yall only allow black women 2 options: completely invalidating our pain and suffering by saying black women are just lazy anyway or completely invalidating our pain and suffering by not believing that black women feel pain to begin with.

After 15 years of pain I finally have a doctor who is like wow yeah there's a lot going on with your body and your labs and physicals all corroborate that but for so long I was just told I'm dramatic or unmotivated.

Black women feel pain, black women are fucking human beings, black women can have chronic illnesses, black women can be disabled. We just do not get the care and validation we deserve. We don't get any excuse at all to not perform. I've constantly worked thru all this, constantly had to care for others thru all this, constantly had to survive thru all this bc I don't want to be labeled lazy but I'm not lazy, I am ILL and have nothing to fall back on bc black women aren't allowed to even be that. Ive known the term for years, but when my doctor told me flat out "Serena, you have multiple chronic illnesses" i almost told her my damn self "i dont think black folks have those" Because we aren't ALLOWED TO. I'm so exhausted by 15 years of health issues that I've powered thru that it has made my health EVEN WORSE. And now that I finally have a team that is advocating for my health and helping me get treatment I can't afford it bc I'm so sick that I have to take intermittent leaves from work.

Please listen to black women abt their bodies.

Please advocate for healthcare for black women.

Please unlearn your biases abt the bodies of black women.

Life really has me by the throat right now.

Why is it that I am always the one getting hurt in the end?

Claws out, baby!

For once in my life I am content in being alone. At the moment, I don't care much about having a relationship. A summer romance would be nice, but I won't feel sad if it doesn't come. And if a new love shows, well great. All I know is that I am content where I am and I don't mind being alone. Its time I focused on myself for a change.

I can feel them falling … my beautiful feathers. And I can’t do anything about it. All I can do now is sit and wait. Thoughts trickle my mind. I wonder when all of this will come to an end.
