Translation: "Hello guys. how are you? Today we are at Gaza's largest refugee camp located in Rafah, south of the strip. A huge number of refugees fleeing death, fear and destruction. They took refuge here, they were told it is safe to be here, although it's a fact, there is NOWHERE SAFE in Gaza.. We hope war ends soon"

Who is left out when we narrate the story of Palestine? - Zena Agha, Skin Deep Magazine, 8/8/22

The pieces in [PALESTINE: WAYS OF BEING] are efforts to shape our future. They shed light on three un- and under-explored areas of Palestinian life: queerness, incarceration and Blackness. Looking at where we came from and where we’re going, they expand on some of the ways of being Palestinian today.

btw Ovid does say that andromeda was a dark skinned women

Yeah, while her ethnicity and nationality is all over the place in ancient sources she’s very much not a white woman. Last time I drew her her design was based on ancient Egyptian clothing and modern-ish Ethiopian jewelry. Tho now I wanna redesign her a little and make her Afro-Palestinian since the one real location that was specified in her story if Jaffa, Palestine.

Palestinian identity is not defined by DNA can you guys please stop using DNA as some kind of argument because DNA doesn’t make you indigenous. Indigeniety is defined by the relationship to the land and settler colonialism. Palestinians aren’t indigenous because some of us have genetic ties to Canaanites but because we’re literally being colonized. Please stop using the DNA angle it is only going to hurt people like Armenian Palestinians, Afro-Palestinians, mixed Palestinians, so on and so forth.
