This bloodbath has gone on for far too long. At the start of this aggression, the school year had barely just started. The academic year ends in just a month. Everyone, from first graders to university seniors, have lost an entire year at least. I say at least considering even if there is a ceasefire today, Israel had destroyed literally all universities in Gaza and damaged over 400 schools. Lest we forget also Israel's deliberate targeting of university professors and academics.
You absolutely cannot mistake the intent behind all of this.

JUST NOW: the reports of what cops around the country are doing to students is fucking disturbing. a comrade with pots (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) at arizona state university went into syncope during the police raid of their encampment. street medics attempted to administer aid/keep her safe and were arrested, police then proceeded to ARREST THE GIRL WITH POTS WHILE SHE WAS BARELY FUCKING CONSCIOUS

In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.
You must unlearn this.
You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.
If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.

Ok so today I was on the bus with another trans guy and we were talking about how hard it is to get testosterone. The waiting lists, the price, all the doctors you have to go to, that kind of stuff. Except, we were calling it ’T’, like you do when you’re both closeted and in public.
Then suddenly the elderly lady sitting behind us was like ‘young men, either I’m going crazy or you both have never heard of supermarkets, they have shelves full of tea there! Do you need directions to one?’
To which my buddy starts to explain, because why not. ‘Well you see, we’re both trans, and… ’
The lady didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. ‘Oh no, I don’t mind that at all! Now do you want to know how to get to a place that sells tea? I’m actually heading there right now!’
We let her take us to the supermarket. We let her show us, excitedly, where the tea was. We both bought loads.

While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.
Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.
Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.
Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.
If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.

I'm not engaging in this discussion to offer solutions, I'm engaging to point out the callousness and hipocracy of people who claim to care about people yet ignore the most vulnerable populations' concerns. I don't consider you an ally to Palestinians if you vote for Biden because of what he's done. Other communities also may share the same ideas. But stop trying to excuse yourself of culpability for voting for people who outwardly commit terrible act under the guise of "What else am I supposed to do?"

if there’s one thing I’ve learned from the palestine solidarity movement, it’s that organizers are absolute fucking SHIT at taking care of themselves. No one knows how to take a fucking break and we are all on the verge of mental and physical breakdowns at all times
#Myself included#teetering on the fucking edge of a mental shutdown and a chronic illness flare up#But all of my organizer friends have slept even less than me and are doing way more than me#And I feel so so so fucking guilty for taking even a little break or for being at my fucking limit#I keep signing myself up to do even more shit#and I’m about to fucking lose it#And I’m so so fucking worried about all my friends#Literally none of us are well#Personal#community organizing#organizers are shit at self care fr fr#palestine solidarity#Free palestine
