A ceasefire doesn't mean those of us outside Gaza stop advocating for Palestinians or a liberated Palestine. Dima's family is in need & she has a donor who will be matching donations until Saturday. Pls do consider donating if you can and/or share! gofund.me/7d29b8f48
I want to share something important with you. Our friend Nadim is planning to launch a campaign to support my family with a goal of $5000. The amazing part is that every dollar donated will be doubled which means your help can go twice as far. This support will help us cover urgent treatments for my mother and grandfather and provide healthy food for my family. Your kindness can truly make a difference in our lives. Thank you for standing with us - your generosity gives us hope.

While Palestinians hopefully can take a breath, the rest of us don't stop pressing our govts until Palestine is free. The work continues for us. Justice must be served.
The war will end. The leaders will shake hands. The old woman will keep waiting for her beloved husband. And those children will wait for their heroic father. I don't know who sold our homeland. But I saw who paid the price. ~ Mahmoud Darwish

Finished a hat for my uncle to wear to work in the winter. Everything you make w/ your own hands is made w/ extra love.

I used St Maurice & Radiant Golden Brown in DK merino/nylon.

Anyway the message on the hat is loud and clear. We have work to do! 🧶

Republic of Yarnia continues its #GlobalStrikeforGaza.

Every Thursday: no sales, no purchases. Profit fuels war. Capitalism bankrolls genocide. The oppressed matter more than money.

We’re a small biz but we will always choose solidarity over income.✊🏽
