#genocide is so EXHAUSTING

[oh-my-damn]

You’re exhausting dude. Some people for their only mental well being don’t like being bombarded with genocide talk every single minute. What do you want them to do exactly? If they donate money that’s not enough right? Do you want them to go over there and fight? How about give up all of their money? What the fuck are you doing other than posting shit that does nothing?

Oh, I'm sorry, is it exhausting for you to READ about genocide on a social media site, where we curate our own experiences entirely and there isn't an actual algorithm to guide you towards the topic you care about personally? (maybe you should look in the mirror and ask yourself why you get so exhausted by genocide and why it doesn't trigger your anger and humanity but that's another discussion)

Wonder what it must be like for the 2.2 million (or used to be 2.2 million, it's significantly less now) living through getting bombed and murdered on a daily basis by an extremist religious state.

I'm so sorry for all that you have to go through but good news buddy!!

You are able to detach from this "exhausting" topic by simply unfollowing and/or blocking me

Unfortunately, Palestinians aren't able to that, so even when you do, they will still be ethnically cleansed by a zionist fascist state supported by the United States (a superpower of the world who also has a permanent seat on the UN Security Council).

Hope you have a great time looking at insignificant superficial things while humans get slaughtered on an hourly basis!!!! 🥰

Palestinians are blamed for not being kind enough to their occupiers again and again. For not using the right words to describe them. And then they turn around and try to preach politics to us, how we're "oversimplifying" things. I promise you — we know how the system works better than you do. That is why it is all of our dreams to change it. To continue to play in this system is acceptance of the occupier's logic and practices. We will not accept such a thing because their goals are antithetical to our lives. Do not fall for their propaganda — their goal is to obfuscate the truth with half truths and incomparable circumstances.

Most of the time, it feels like I can't even function. It's hard on all of us, but we've got this. We need each other. We'll never stop talking and standing up for the truth 🇵🇸🙏

This is the second time recently that I've gotten sick, and all I had to do was get online and I got to talk to a doctor within minutes.

And I can't stop thinking about Gaza.

How it should be just as easy and accessible to them. How it could be. How many people are dying just because of their lack of access to medication, to healthcare.

Ya Allah... I am not more deserving of healthcare than them, I am not more deserving of peace and my house, my family, my shelter, my security than they are.

Please reblog with whatever fundraisers y'all can find, I already am planning on donating to UNRWA, and the GoFundMe of several diabetic Palestinians trying to leave and/or get insulin.

the IOF is ticking off every single war crime in the book as we speak, with hundreds of videos about it going online every single day, but the world is silent and is wringing its hands.

why. why is this allowed to happen, God fucking DAMN IT when will enough be enough????

[soliddaddy96]

just saw a horrific post about how people were grieving the loss of 24 israel soldiers as if the death toll for palestine isnt over 25000. ironically saw a comment saying "i always brace myself before looking at these posts" as if their families are the ones being starved and massacred . its utterly sickening the audacity these people have

click here to aid Palestinian relief

and here is a fundraiser to help the children in Gaza

[chainofclovers]

Being a human is literally like this weird combo of being okay and not okay that goes on forever except there is also death

[paperstorm]

You must be exhausted dealing with all these asks. Can we go back to Tarlos please? Thoughts on what Tarlos are up to this Fall? TK is browsing online for Halloween decorations and costumes for him and Carlos (they’re having a themed 126 hang the day before and going trick or treating with Carlos’ niece and nephew after their shifts on the day. They’re discussing couples costumes.). He’s also got lizard outfits bookmarked to look at when Carlos is out the room. Andrea and Owen are coming round for dinner later, they’ve promised both their parents a chance to help them go through all the wedding photos and pick ones to get enlarged, framed, ones for the loft, ones for work (Owen and Andrea also want copies for putting up in their homes). Carlos is cooking and gallantry trying to use some of the fancy kitchen gadgets they got as wedding presents but really would be happier doing it by hand the way he always has.

Oh both of these 🥺 All of this. May I add them finally going hiking. Once it's not so hot, finding a place they can hike to some kind of lake or lookout point. TK lowkey complaining the whole time but it's just to make Carlos laugh, he loves adventure and he's loving it. Carlos giving him a piggyback ride for some of it, TK pressing in all close to him where they're sweaty just to make him blush when they pass another person on the trail. Kissing at the lookout point and getting mushy about how happy they are to be married.

i keep seeing “it doesn’t matter if this post about anti semitism was made by a zionist, it’s still relevant” and i think this is a really deranged thing to say, but it’s a deranged thing that happens all the time so i guess it makes sense that people keep saying it. like, this was also a discussion when the crypto terf thing started going off, where people would say “it doesn’t matter if the op is a transmisogynist it’s a good post” but the op is specifically including trans women in their argument about male privilege which means their fundamental argument is incorrect and at odds with any and all feminist discussion!!! the same way that like, it doesn’t actually matter whether jackson hinkle is making a good point about palestine or not, he’s a far right anti semitic pos grifter and we should be blocking him any time he tries to engage because his fundamental argument is not “palestinians deserve a right to life, dignity, self determination, return, and safety” his argument is “the jews are controlling the media” a zionist will follow up their post about anti semitism with some shit like “i mean these leftists get mad when you call it the israel hamas WAR instead of a genocide, bc they’re anti semitic” while pictures of mutilated children’s corpses are being blasted all over my twitter feed. yes objectively anti semitism is on the rise, but that doesn’t mean you start platforming genocide deniers, sorry. there are plenty of people who don’t like, straight up refer to palestinians as rats that you can reference when discussing the rise in hate crimes!!

This Twitter thread 😂

Also…

137 times??

[whorejolras]

am i the only one who thinks celebrating pride month in the middle of an ongoing genocide is a bit................... 😒

[waspgrave]

Soooo tired of seeing people I care about fall into Israel’s propaganda. The months of sheer evilness at work and you get either radio silence or excuses. Gross.

[hussyknee]

the reason that the US treats the holocaust the way it does is so it can congratulate itself on "saving" jews from it and ending the holocaust. never mind that a huge reason so many jews died is bc the US basically wouldn't let us in after 2023 and we weren't able to escape Europe (many, many tried). Anyway the response to this isn't "stop thinking the holocaust is important" or "antisemitism isn't pervasive/non-Jews don't harbor subconscious antisemitism." Honestly your post is pretty gross and I've unfollowed. Sorry my intergenerational trauma no longer serves whatever political affiliation you have, and so now you have to minimize it as a reaction. Maybe Jews shouldn't be rhetorical tools at all. The Holocaust was a massive disaster to Jewish culture and soul and identity that will take centuries to heal from, and we never fully will. And none of that is what the US cares about. Be careful when you critique philosemitism you don't just veer into antisemitism instead. Because that's all philosemitism ever really was.

...why are you repeating everything I said back to me?

Me: ''The US governments

used philosemitism to weaponize the Holocaust by pushing a revionist narrative about their role in it

and making themselves look like the champion of Jews

to push their own military propaganda and deflect from their own ongoing war crimes and genocides

and turned antisemitism into a cudgel to attack anyone criticising Israel or the political establishment

(mostly BIPOC‚ so it looked like racism and anti-blackness mattered less)

all the while ignoring actual antisemitism or protecting their own Jewish citizens in any material way

as though the state had no role in empowering white Christian nationalism

because it served their purpose for Jews to migrate to Israel."

Some weirdo who can't read: ''you think antisemitism doesn't exist and the Holocaust doesn't matter??? Antisemite??"

I have better things to do than endlessly refute shit I never said nor implied and deal with your piss on the poor reading comprehension. This commitment to misunderstanding everything a PoC says and whitesplaining stuff we already said comes from your own racist suspicion and condescension. Dont let the door hit you on your way out.

it’s becoming more and more apparent that governments don’t care about young people or genuinely don’t have them in mind when they make decisions when it comes to anything but then demonize young people for speaking up injustices and how mistreated they are… make no mistake they hate this younger generation for standing for something and being tired and how we don’t wanna suffer in silence like most of our parents and grandparents did! we are fed up and we just want change and they how powerful we can be if we stick together it’s just becoming so clear but jokes on them we won’t stop any time soon

[yournewfriendshouse]

the times we’re in are really too interesting. I’m still reeling from the fact that Israel did a villain in a batman movie move of exploding pagers (the device I thought only doctors use anymore) within a civilian community and people were just like ‘yeah’

on mental health and activism - watching video after video of dead kids and bad news is going to take a toll on you. absolutely do not look away, but remember to take care of yourself. take small breaks, eat, sleep, talk to people. remember that you are in this for the long haul and that you're no use to anyone if you have a massive breakdown and can't help anymore. be aware of your limits
