hey been a while
after much thought, I decided to come back here for a quick second. I can't reasonably have a platform here and not use it to talk about my Palestine.
a few (very few) people sent me an ask or a message, and I need to clarify that I am not in Palestine. my family was forced to leave its hometown in Saffuriya, Nazareth in 1984. the bigger part of our family left to Lebanon, and we left to Jordan. in 1967, a part of our remaining family went to Gaza, 18 of them died in one airstrike, not even 40 minutes ago 8 of the family members died in an airstrike.
but, saying all of that, I am physically okay. though my mental health is deteriorating and I just gave up on sugarcoating the situation so I wouldn't burden anyone.
Gaza is going through a genocide, please if after 38 days you still have not used your platform to talk about this, then know that you are never ever too late, every voice counts, no matter where or when. and if you have been active but you feel burnt out and everything is becoming exhausting to you, then please think of the people incapable of sleep because of the continuous bombing until the day comes along and they either listen to the people trapped under the rubble with their hands tied or they rescue them only to deliver them to hospitals with no electricity, fuel or water.
please, please use your voice, one person can do so much, never underestimate your power and influence.
and at the end, though this should go without saying, if you are neutral, or think this is too complicated for you to middle in or ask people to condom Hamas (or if they condom them) or straight up stand with Isr*el, then block me. you are not welcome here and I sincerely hate your guts.
