Raghad is exhausted she works, she cries in silence, trying to save her mother just as she saves others, but her hands alone aren’t enough.
She isn’t asking for much only for help to continue her mother’s treatment and keep her family alive.

If you can, please reach out. 😔

Raghad is friends with @itsmeio.bsky.social, has social media that predates the war and sent me a photo of her Palestinian ID.

Raghad is hoping to complete her studies (she has been volunteering this whole time at Nasser Hospital) and also take care of her large family including her mother.

When #Palestine declared statehood in 1988, India was among the first countries to recognise it. This diplomatic positioning was rooted in New Delhi's idealist & anti-colonial outlook of the time.

Senate Democrats are blasting congressional Republicans for shutting down the US government to preserve devastating healthcare cuts, but over half of them voted with the GOP late Thursday to give nearly $1 trillion to the Pentagon, which has never passed an audit.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I had this dream about a comic (in portuguese no less) called Abra de Cabra about a goat that just shows up in the foreground of important events chewing stuff. Inspired by nap logic twisting the word Abracadabra.

I taught myself during COVID! (I don't recommend this for fibre arts, they are DECEPTIVELY finicky in ways only humans can communicate in-person) But I'm crawling along!

Goats are super rad! Their floppy huge ears and weird little eyes. I want to pat all their heads solemnly.

The global Palestine solidarity movement is in fact as large as ever and has been going strong for a long time. Young people care at a higher clip than ever and so do nonwhite people. Turns out those angry will die mad.

I love this for you!! Knitting is like fibre arts witchcraft to me (I can't do it 😭 but i weave!) fibre arts are amazing! So much weird stuff to learn! Did the goat produce the yarn? Was it an educational goat to show folks where (some) yarn comes from? Can't wait to see what you make!

'Gaza did not fail. We did. Gaza resisted when the world expected it to break. Gaza stood alone when it should never have had to stand alone. Gaza endured despite international abandonment, despite governments that funded its destruction and now celebrate themselves as peacemakers.'

Celebrate the ceasefire, but don’t forget: Gaza survived on its own

Western leaders now claim credit for 'peace', but Gaza’s survival belongs to its people alone.
