It is true you can't trust Israel or the US but you should probably be aware the ceasefire doesn't begin until Saturday or Sunday and Israel has a long history of intensifying bombardment until the official starting point of a ceasefire.

It's still Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

And may the name of Benjamin Netanyahu be erased.

It's clear that when the US wants a ceasefire deal, one miraculously occurs. Makes the "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" stuff from last year even more disgusting.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

A message from Abdel Majeed today. If you are able to help him and his family, please give what you can.

chuffed.org/project/1286...

Screenshot of a post from Abdel Majeed’s fundraiser. There is a photo of him and his daughter, Bayan, from before October 7th. The top portion of the message in Arabic seems to be added by mistake, but it reads “Hello, my friend Alison. Please add this to my page.” Below, in english: “My friends, two years have passed since the war. The war has destroyed everything beautiful in our lives and left us in the unknown, torn apart from within by the separation of our loved ones. If it weren't for you standing by my side during the past period, I wouldn't have been able to complete my life's journey. Your questions about me every day are beautiful and I will never forget them. I am still alive and breathing. My friends, always be our hope. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

it’s my birthday! link is in the bio of @abodhajaj.bsky.social 🎁 reply here and tell me what small thing you’re doing to focus your care!

thank you @pepperbloom.bsky.social and @valkwise.bsky.social

i was born. happy to still be here! 🥳

in a few weeks, baby Mila will be born. her parents, Aya and Abod, are excited to welcome their second child, a little sister for Leen! they deserve to be safe and healthy so they can take good care of Mila.

for my birthday, i wish for my friends to help the Hajjaj family prepare for Mila. just $5 or $10 will help a lot, and sharing this post is another easy way to help! link below 👇

if you are feeling overwhelmed about the state of the world right now, the best thing to do is focus your care on one thing at a time. today, you can help a family in Gaza buy diapers for their baby. next week, you can check your local library for community events and resources (yes i am biased, but for good reason-libraries are free!)

next year, i hope we can can celebrate a free Palestine before i turn 29 and before Mila turns 1. thank you! 🍉

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

it is october 7. for two years hamas has been offering to return israel's hostages in exchange for an israeli withdrawal from gaza to which benjamin netanyahu has said "no," ignoring the hostages' families demands and prioritizing the destruction of gaza over saving the hostages lives.

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.
