Ya’ll are sleeping on PinkPantheress and Imma need to see more love for her!

This video breaks it all down perfectly, and it’s exactly what we need to hear in 2024. Being a barb after everything Nicki has said and done is just pure nonsense. I stand behind Megan thee Stallion and Jennifer Hough and fuck all the abuse apologists and cult-like stans who will say otherwise

Israel is destroying Palestinians’ education.

Israel is destroying Palestinians’ education.

Israel is destroying Palestinians’ education.

Israel is destroying Palestinians’ education.

If anything else happens to Bisan I will literally lose it. 🤬💔

Do not take your eyes off Sudan. Follow the OG Instagram account for important information on the war in Sudan.

I do want to say re:food appropriation, for Palestinians it is a very very very sensitive issue. I don't know a single Palestinian who doesn't react vehemently to calling food "Israeli." One, because you have to recognize that this is within a larger pattern of completely erasing Palestinian identity, and two, because food is an essential core part of culture, where historical, familial instruction should be acknowledged.

I find it incredibly.... insulting to say "well food can be exchanged between cultures and people, so what's the big idea?" and neglect the fact that even within the Levant, there is a diverse array of cooking styles. To call certain dishes "Israeli" especially within the context of how the state of Israel was established, plays into the erasure of Palestinians.

It's often necessary to attribute the food we eat to specific cultures. For example, I, a Palestinian, would never claim ownership over Macarona Bil-Bashamil, or Yalenji, because they're "Arab." That's just not how food culture works. Different cultures, different climates, different environments all contribute to the food we eat and the clothes we wear. Food in itself is political because of how heavily it is tied to a location in which things are grown and raised.

Food is what builds community. Women, young and old, pass this knowledge throughout generations. And ESPECIALLY between peasant families that grow and raise the very flora and fauna we rely on in our dishes. This is a professional sort of knowledge that we celebrate and consider incredibly important. To strip our very food of our identity is not only insulting, but negates the centuries worth of food culture we've established in favor of homogenization. So yes, it IS possible to appropriate food, especially when you do not acknowledge the centuries worth of knowledge shared.

I’m seeing too many ppl here on tumblr still not speaking up about Palestine. It’s the end of the year, there’s no excuses anymore. Start reading some articles and following Palestinian activists and journalists.

The ease in which Palestinian men are dehumanized. People saw those lineups of halfnaked men and there was relatively no international uproar. Is sexual violence against our men permissible for some reason as long as you write them off as "terrorists"? Humiliation is part of the colonizers' playbook after all. But this is a complex issue of two politically equal entities so don't worry about it.

That last line was sarcasm.

When you’re at your Christmas carols and watching your favorite Christmas movies, don’t take your eyes off Gaza. Pray for Palestinian people and if your church is not standing in solidarity with Palestine then you should find a new church.

This one hurts….💔😭 Hair is so important to a lot of us, I can’t even imagine having to cut it off specifically because of no access to clean water.

Israeli occupation forces have recently murdered Samer Abudaqa and injured Wael Al-Dahdouh. 

Everyone needs to watch this live interview between Motaz and Bassem. This was recent from the looks of it.
