Praying for the day that the children of Palestine hear birds instead of war planes, singing instead of gunshots.
Praying for the families of Palestine, and for them to fill their bellies with olives and real flatbread, not animal feeds and poisons.
Praying for the people of Palestine, for the single state of Palestine, and for their permanent liberation, for the resistance, and for everlasting peace!
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. It bears repeating.
From the RIVER to the SEA, Palestine WILL be free!
Thank you Creator, for listening, for seeing and for healing.

"Nearly half of the US population uses TikTok. It’s the most downloaded app in the country and the world. And last Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed its ban into law.
Members of Congress backing the anti-TikTok bill from both sides of the aisle have tried to emphasize that it’s 'not a ban' — it’s a forced sale. The 'ban' requires Chinese tech company ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, to sell the app to a US-based company within twelve months or the app will be banned in the United States.
ByteDance has responded saying that it will refuse to sell, and that it will instead fight the ban in court. ByteDance believes it can win the court case, based on precedent from federal courts blocking an attempted ban in Montana in November 2023. Former president Donald Trump also tried to ban TikTok twice by executive order when he was in office; those efforts were struck down by the courts too.
Lawmakers are citing data privacy and national security as the primary concerns behind the ban. But others have been more explicit — they are worried about how the app is influencing Americans’ political views, particularly among young voters.
Discussion of the TikTok ban in Congress has been rife with red-baiting and anti-Chinese fearmongering. Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, referred to TikTok as a 'Communist Party propaganda tool.' And Senator Pete Ricketts, a Nebraska Republican, said:
Pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas hashtags are generating fifty times the views on TikTok right now. . . . These videos have more reach than the top ten US news websites combined. This is not a coincidence. The Chinese Communist Party is doing this on purpose.
The senator went on to blame TikTok and the Chinese government for the student protests that started at Columbia University and have since spread to dozens of college campuses across the country on TikTok and the Chinese government.
There is no concrete evidence supporting the idea that political ideas shared on TikTok are more progressive or pro-Palestine than what you find on other platforms or that it skews more progressive than the overall population — with nearly 70 percent of voters now supporting a cease-fire in Gaza. It’s unclear how TikTok’s algorithm handles political content. But one of lawmakers’ greatest concerns is that the platform has offered a new avenue for people to virally spread political messages outside of traditional media.
This is not to say that TikTok doesn’t pose data-privacy concerns. But as Paris Marx writes, TikTok’s opaque data-privacy practices are not specific to TikTok or China. TikTok is a private company. Like all profit-driven social media companies, US- and Chinese-owned alike, there are genuine concerns over data usage — but the TikTok ban won’t fix those.
'The US government’s desire to ban TikTok instead of taking industry-wide action is a good indication that its campaign isn’t really about national security or data protection,' Marx points out, 'but something much deeper: namely the preservation of American economic and geopolitical hegemony.'
In this regard, the federal government sees a lot to gain from banning TikTok. Asserting control over highly profitable Chinese tech companies will help US companies like Meta maintain dominance in the social media space, an important consideration given the United States’ growing Great Power rivalry with China. The ban may also allow the US government tighter control over media narratives, particularly around Israel’s increasingly unpopular war on Gaza and government repression of protests.
I’m a content creator on TikTok, alongside millions of others. TikTok has allowed me to reach millions of people to share ideas about movements for social and economic justice. Recently, I’ve covered the wave of student protests calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and university endowment divestment from weapons manufacturers and other financial ties to Israeli apartheid by interviewing students on the ground in New York City. If TikTok is banned, it means shutting down my voice and the voices of many others who are loudly opposing our government’s support for Israel and spreading awareness of the growing protest movement.
It’s unclear if the ban will be upheld in court. And if the forced sale is upheld, it’s also unclear if twelve months will be enough for a sale to make it through the legal and financial red tape. In any case, it will be at least a year before we see any changes to the app and its availability in the United States.
If the TikTok ban is successful, though, it will serve as a major blow to free speech without actually protecting users’ data. It will mean restricting access to news and political ideas simply because the federal government wants to suppress the ideas that are being shared and popularized on the platform — like opposition to US support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza."

Beautiful.
Today's the 27th! It's nice to see some other fans jump on the bandwagon with the monthly question! I wanted to redo this post to be more direct and I want to include a little sketch/drawing in the posts.
(Sorry for the long post!)
"What do you think the inside of the Star Nomad would look like, and what kind of rooms would there be?"
(question by @signor-signor )
Lets start with the concept first. Okay, so in my last posts, I described the star Nomad as more of this really big hotel for guest to come in and out of. After some thinking, I think the star nomad would be more of a cruise ship instead. (y'know how it portrays a pirate ship? pirate ship, cruse ship, eh?)
As for the inside of the star nomad (including side character rooms. excluding the main fours rooms) I can image each room in the past characters of the main fours seasons of their lives being similar to one another's. What I mean is that, every characters room looks the same since their only on the star nomad to get back home to their home planets, (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) but something in each room would probably have something small to reflect the person inside of the room (a gun for ripov, a bow (or something else) for lil bits, ect)
Now let me get into the main four. Craig confirmed that Wander and hater would've been roommates inside of the star nomad. With that being said, I think its only fair and logical if Peepers and Sylvia were roommates too.
Do you see the star window in this image? I like to think that there is a hallway in the middle of the window that leads to the large circular window. Wander and haters room would be to the left of the hallway, where peepers and Sylvia's would be to the right. I feel like the gang would be located in this section of the star nomad. (In the future worm cameo, Sylvia is steering the ship, so I can only assume that she would at least be somewhat close to the wheel. Now as for the Interior of the rooms, I came up with this sketch.
Now I'm no architect, but I am a drawer. I like to think that both rooms look similar except, Peepers and Sylvia's room is more organized while Hater and wanders is either Really messy, or surprisingly neutral. same-ish design, but different concepts. The ladder/ stairs in the room lead to an opening in the floor where the pinwheel is. Perfect for gag opportunities in my opinion. Plus, I've seen wander as the "sleep in hammock" type guy. If you want to jump in the bandwagon, answer questions related to the fandom, or anything else with the fandom, it's never too late to join! As for the trending 27th question, it's Wander over Yonder we're talking about it can be as simple or childish and cluttered as you want it to be. Let your creativity shine with your answer!
Hope you like my analisis! Everything under this is stuff not related to the question, but you can keep reading if you want to! I can't wait to see what other people will do for the 27th!
------------------------------------------------------
Did anyone see the Wander Over Yonder plot that was found a while ago? Here's the link if you want to watch it. Also, here's the pitch bible that was found. (might get taken down.)
https://mega.nz/folder/EBhFkYJb#vIeABlpQuRB4U1xpyAL_DQ/folder/cIgwTawZ
(LITERAL YEARS WITHOUT WANDER OVER YONDER (excluding minute/frame second cameos.) AND WE GET A PIECE OF BIG MEDIA??? IN 2024!?!?!?!?!!? LETS GOOOO!!!🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥)

reminder that not wanting israel to bomb innocent children is not antisemitic!
me not wanting actual infants to die does not mean i hate Jewish people, i just don't like the fact that israel's government is murdering several people who haven't harmed Israel at all

The Wander Over Yonder Pilot...
I finished watching the pilot on Archive.org because the original upload was taken down and I did not expect it to hit me in the feels like this. I thought the pilot would not be that different from the real episode but..... wow.... The art style and everything was so nostalgic to watch and the ending just especially hit hard. I wish Chester was in the show I wish the kid was in the first episode and I really wonder why they were scrapped because her interactions with Wander in both of the pilots were so wholesomee and the old designs of the Bingleborps were so good and I don't know if this show will ever get season 3 but I really hope it does because it's so good and there was so much more that was planned and it did not deserve to end the way that it did ugh WHHYYYYY DID THIS WONDERFUL SHOW GET CANCELLED WHY WHY WHYYYY literally about to cry this was so good... 10/10 I would watch all of it again
Wander I miss you sm...

Remember not to stop with Palestine. Colonialism is around the world, both conquering and causing chaos to take advantage of what they have caused.
Don’t forget Sudan. Don’t forget the island nations under colonial and oppressive rule. That includes Hawaii! Don’t forget the natives of the Americas and Australia and New Zealand.
To be clear, Me leaving out nations is not meant to be an insult or minimize them. The list is long and I’m barely scraping the surface. And to be further clear, that is MY fault. I have benefited from this oppression, and I’m still learning more about it and to be further further clear that does NOT absolve me. It’s MY fault I haven’t seen where it all spreads.
Remember: if one of us isn’t free, none of us are!

We have all known this has been a genocide for a while but Israel is literally gathering as many Palestinians as they can so they can bom them that is what is happening and has been happening for a long time Rafah was the last safe place they had, the only safe place for them to go is Egypt which has either closed its border by now or is close to. We learned about the holocaust in school, we were horrified of what the nazis did, this is history repeating itself, this is not war this is genocide

I'm sick and tired of people crying about having to move to a different platform when they should be caring about the fact that this ban is going into place to silence protesters and shit.
Care about Palestine and the other countries that are suffering through a literal fucking genocide; not that you have to move to a different fucking platform.
Find petitions and fight this ban.
