PLEASE talk about Congo, Haiti, and Sudan, with the same fervor you give Palestine. PLEASE care about black struggle and suffering.

🇵🇸 IMPORTANT. Please share. 🇵🇸

If you have Instagram, Meta has set an automatic limit on "political content" as a means to stop the spread of awareness about Palestine, Sudan, Congo and more places where genocide and injustice are being enacted.

You can remove the limit in your settings. Instructions:

1. Go to Settings and Activity

2. Scroll down and click go to Suggested Content

3. Click on Political Content

4. Select "Don't Limit"

Please share so more people know about this and what to do

Your posts about Palestine matter, your posts about Congo and Sudan matter. Your awareness and the sharing and education of others MATTERS 🇵🇸🇸🇩🇨🇩

Keep posting , keep sharing, keep boycotting, keep watching , keep reposting , keep commenting and most importantly don’t let yourself see human deaths as just numbers. Don’t let yourself become blind. London just had the biggest protest many people have ever seen in support of Palestine. Demand a ceasefire and don’t stop.

None of us are free until all of us are free

So I’ve recently remembered that I have a linktree which I haven’t actually used since like 2020/2021, so perfect place to share some of my saved links to support Palestine right? I suppose you can imagine my surprise when I already find a “FREE PALESTINE” header, one I don’t remember adding as a teen in the throes of lockdown and high school, right at the bottom.

I won’t try and pretend like I do remember adding any such thing, or sharing calls for donations for drinking water for Gaza, or for a hospital in East Jerusalem. I won’t act as if I had done the right thing and educated myself, because if I had back then, maybe I might’ve gotten involved in the criticism of Zionism and Israel whole lot sooner into the influx of atrocities and war crimes they’ve committed in “retaliation”. And maybe I would’ve understood just how much control the Israeli have had over the Palestinians sooner, for why would they have needed funds for suitable drinking water in early 2021? And maybe I would’ve known why I was sharing a call for aid for Al Makassed Hospital, which was raided by IOF soldiers dressed as women who sound bombed the area, killing 150 and injuring 600 Palestinians mid-2021. And maybe I would’ve known of Al Quds Open University, of which the hospital was associated with, and was bombed in November last year.

And sure, I could go on, but I won’t. Because the babies burned and decapitated and dismembered in the bombings in UNICEF’s camps in Rafah, the “designated safe zone”, and in their homeland wouldn’t have been alive then, let alone grow to learn from their elders who would have lived through it. Little Hind Rajab, who would’ve been alive then but too young to truly recall, won’t care, because she was murdered alone with her already dead relatives and two brave men who were meant to be allowed to save her. The innocent bodies marred by this so called “war”, the bleak eyes cursed by death, the broken bodies and immovable spirits of displaced persons seeking safety from the greed of the world - they won’t be thinking of matters of the past.

I genuinely don’t know what to think anymore. My heart aches for the Palestinians, as it does for the Congolese and the Sudanese and the Uyghurs and all victims of the manifestations of the greed of humanity. All I can wish for is for humanity to open their eyes, their hearts, to properly watch our world burn and feel the same aches as I do, as so little yet so many do. To take those aches and build the world anew, not from rubble, but from the foundations of our collective morals and drive against injustice and for a sustainable future.

And maybe I’ve written too much and no one will truly read this all, especially since I haven’t entirely censored myself here. But I refuse to put the effort in to make a tldr because I want people to read this all, I want to see just how far my voice can and will go.

The Operation Olive Branch spreadsheet is at the top of my linktree, right under the ‘FREE PALESTINE’ header that started these thoughts. If you’d like to look at the links I mentioned, I’ve kept them as the bottom three, I overall encourage you to research into them if you have the mental capacity to, or to at least keep up to date with the world today. I most likely won’t be updating that linktree again, so please seek other accounts and people who have more resources and material to keep educated.

As always, none of us are free until all of us are free. Choose the right side of history, make a stand against injustice.

Back at it again to say: stay pissed. Stay mad about what’s going on in Palestine. Be aware of what’s happening—less people are talking about the murderous onslaught Palestine is facing. This does not make their cause any less just! Say it with me!

PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!

I refuse to step back! Tumblr will keep pushing for something other than Palestine! Than Armenia! Than Congo! Than Sudan! I will push forward as far as I can!

FREE THE OPPRESSED! 🇵🇸🇦🇲🇸🇸🇨🇩

I'm on the aro and acespec, but I have had 3 crushes all my life. And I'm still in love with my third. The truth is... It's kind of hard to explain romantic love. Especially when the typical things that people use to define it applies to platonic love and other things sometimes. I feel like romantic love doesn't have a definition. If you do feel it, it can look so different from what you'd think. Because every single human being is different, and feels so differently.

If you can't feel romantic love. You're not lacking. Because love is all around you. Friends, family, admiration, respect. Most importantly from yourself. I feel it's impossible to not experience love because love isn't just romantic. That would be so lame if it worked that way.

All I can say is that if you can feel romantic love, and want to. You probably will. And if it happens you want know it at first, and you might be shocked by it. Might even deny it. But if you've never felt something and you experience it. You'll be able to identify it because it's easy to know what you aren't used to or have never once experienced.

Wish I could give you a sure answer. But all I will say is that you aren't late to love even if you feel it at 80. And you aren't weird if you feel it never.

I WISH ROMANTIC FEELINGS HAD A REAL FUCKING DEFINITION!!!!!

"Butterflies in your tummy" I get that every time I talk to anyone because I'm an anxious wreck

"Ohh you get all blushy" I blush whenever I remember literally any compliment from anyone. I blush when someone says I blink robotically. I blush when I remember that time my driving instructor said I went through a stop sign correctly.

"You get nervous when thinking about them" I'm always nervous.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!

it really is mind-boggling to me that the only reason i know about the Congolese and Sudanese genocides is because of the tireless work of grassroots activists and advocates posting on social media. I can honestly say that if I didn't have social media and didn't happen to be following Black authors and activists, I never would have known what was happening in Sudan and Congo because it is simply not being reported in the great majority of mainstream media. We're talking millions upon millions of PEOPLE enduring unimaginable pain and devastation with next to no official reporting. And yes that is in huge part due to the level of violence and displacement occurring that is preventing a lot of news from getting out of these countries, but it's also so blatantly due to anti-Black racism and the perception of African Nations as inherently savage and violent. But genocide is not and never should be normal for anyone anywhere. With that in mind, please keep Congo and Sudan in your thoughts. Check out Focus Congo for resources to help the Congolese people on the ground. Focus Congo's MO is a local organisation whose goal is to rebuild homes, rehabilitate land, and provide medical aid, education, and resources to Congo's most affected people. Also, Check out Keep Eyes On Sudan for how to help out and raise awareness of Sudanese people displaced by civil war. According to Sudanese TikToker bsonblast, donations to local food kitchens in Sudan are desperately needed to fight famine. If anyone has other resources specifically for helping Congo and Sudan, please add them and link them <3
