Today, a family's home near us was bombed. We have 3,000 dollars left to be able to cover our travel expenses. Help us evacuate before it is too late. Thank you.
Important update: There are 11 days left until the campaign ends
passed a memorial on my morning trot today. buckaroo about my age, lots of flowers. went to his instagram to learn his way and it was just packed full of photos with buds and good times. you strip away the body and all thats left is love. sad but also very beautiful and important
im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary
the fact that emily gwen lives in poverty while i can walk into target and buy unauthorized reproductions of their work is fucking disgusting frankly. corporations deserve to be hanged en masse but until we can do that for the love of g-d PLEASE keep queer money in the queer community. buy directly from queer artisans like emily, make your own pride merch if you have to, but we need to stop giving our money to rainbow capitalists who are literally, openly stealing from us already. i love target's pride section but i would rather spend $75 on a handmade flag someone actually sat and sewed out of real strips of coloured fabric so they could pay rent than $5 on a strip of screen-printed polyester that nobody got compensated for making at all.
My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.
Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.
not to put a finer point on it, but before i was fired from my job one of the many ways my managers were bullying me was by accusing me of antisemitism EVERY TIME i pitched an article related to Palestine (the last one i pitched before being fired was about bella hadid being fired from jobs for speaking up about Palestine. ironic). the worst of this was when i was crying in a "disciplinary" meeting about how i felt like shit while watching a genocide and their company lawyer accused me of being "manipulative" and "trojan horsing antisemitism" into the workplace. i cannot stress ENOUGH that i was purely talking about my own emotions about being Lebanese and watching Palestinians and Lebanese people be murdered and i was accused of being antisemitic. if you accuse me of being antisemitic at this point in the genocide i am gonna tell you to go fuck yourself i've had enough of the real oppression jewish people face being mentioned only as a weapon to silence me and others (including jewish ppl themselves) when we express basic sympathy to Palestinians and/or trying to advocate for Palestinian liberation. youse don't care. you are not serious people to me.
In the ruins of what had been Nasser hospital, the biggest in southern Gaza, Reuters saw emergency workers in white hazmat suits digging corpses out of the ground with hand tools and a digger truck. The emergency services said 73 more bodies had been found at the site in the past day, raising the number found over the week to 283.
Gaza authorities say the bodies recovered so far are from just one of at least three mass graves they have found at the site.
"We expect to find another 200 bodies at the same mass grave in the coming two days before we will begin working at the two other cemeteries," Ismail Al-Thawabta, director of the Hamas-run government media office, told Reuters.
He accused Israel of carrying out "executions" at the hospital and covering up the crimes by burying bodies with a bulldozer. Israel strongly denies having carried out executions.
Today is Armenian genocide remembrance day. On april 24, 1915 started mass deportations of hundreds of Armenian intelectuals and community leaders, who were (most of the time) eventually killed. Armenian women and children were systematically r//ed and forcibly converted into islam. There were more than 2 milion Armenians in ottoman empire prior to ww1, 1,5 milion of them were viciously killed. Three millennia of Armenian civilaziation in eastern Anatolis was fully destroyed. Turkey today refuses to acknowledge genocides of christian minorities in early 20th century.
Do you know that mass ethnic cleansing of Armenians in ottoman empire inspired Lemkin to coin the term 'genocide'?
Last year in september azerbaijan allied with turkey initiated a war against Armenia. More that 5000 Armenians were murdered, thousands of Armenia families had to live their ancestrial land to not get murdered. There are hundreds of vids on internet where armenian p.o.w.s are tortured. Recently azerbaijan opened a "museum" displayind dead or dying Armenians and kids were allowed to visit it.
