Middle East eye recorded an interview with a palestinian woman who was kidnapped from her children for several days and she spoke about being continuously told to strip by Israeli women soldiers and being beaten by men and women occupation soldiers. It makes you think all that bullshit about solidarity with all women. israeli women can choke they facilitated the rape of palestinian women in Gaza and beat palestinian women with no remorse because theyre palestinian (the palestinian woman said "it was all punishment"). Because at the end of the day regardless the abuse israeli women face in their society, well they consider themselves part of the colony and superior to the native. Women settler colonialists who proclaim feminism only want to be equal to the men in their colonial project. All that bullshit zionists have been talking about "believe all women. Believe israeli women" actually never pertained to all women because where is their shock regarding the testimony of palestinian women relaying the sexual abuse they faced? No where
i can’t believe this is happening… i’ve been thinking of the al-shifa siege for the past five six days and it has literally made me sick. when will this end?
in light of having my phone stolen out of my tent aka my house, and my partner beng currently in the hospital, i'd like to ask for donations please. its been really hard by myself, and i am finding it difficult to expend energy needed to visit food banks as well as attend to my job in camp. thank you for your help, and for cheering me on to stay alive.
edit: w/o my phone, i have no way of recieving the phone call neccesary to be granted my ssdi backpqy. so every bit you send helps a LOT!!
there is a huge difference between criticizing an institution and criticizing individual behavior. i can criticize the makeup industry without criticizing the 14 year old girl who uses concealer because she’s self-conscious about her acne; i can criticize the plastic surgery industry without vilifying the woman who decided to get a nose job after two decades of pointed comments and bullying. it is intellectually dishonest to respond to an institutional criticism as if it were a personal attack; on the flip side, it is cruel and unnecessary to leverage personal attacks in the name of institutional criticism
if i see one (1) more person respond to a perfectly reasonable beauty-industry-critical sentiment with “but i personally enjoy eyeshadow. why are you attacking people who like eyeshadow :(” or “exactly, all women who wear makeup are miserable and brainwashed” i am going to climb a tree and bite the top of it
trying something new to help some GFMs that are close to being funded reach their goal. tasneem nabil musa is a 14 year-old girl from gaza who was injured in an air strike and needs to evacuate to egypt for medical care. if 500 people reblog this post and all donate $5 (USD), she will reach her goal. if 1000 people reblog this post and half of them donate $5, she will reach her goal. if you can give $5 please do, and if not, sharing will help someone else with five bucks to spare see it.
I don’t know if you know or not but I drew these guys back in 2021 😭😭 I haven’t draw my girls is such a long time so I had to do a cool lil line up. I just love them so much 🥺
