Greta is one of the most impactful activists of the 21st century, precisely because she connected climate change and capitalism, and then the Gaza genocide and capitalism, in unambiguous ways, to a global audience.
The fact she refuses to give details about how they abused her and highlights that what they did to her is not the point, cause she knows that story would make headlines bigger than the on going genocide
Breaking and exclusive (as no journalist wished to cover this) from Manchester Airport tonight: 70 yr old Scottish hero Margaret Pacetta who was kidnapped by Israel from @gbsumudflotilla was tortured in captivity. She was tied and blindfolded and hit on her broken leg. She called the British government a disgrace and thanked the Turkish government for chartering a plane to get them out and providing food and accommodation.
She ended by saying ‘I’ll be back’!
Around last year, my brother somehow lost his phone in the ocean (long story) and had to get a new number. Ever since he lost the old number to the sea I've been texting it as if some fish were seeing these and it keeps me entertained for a lil while
honestly rly into this aesthetic of including the program window in the image. i realize here it's to show off that they did this in ms paint but it's just a cool vibe. like taking a photo of a painting in its frame
🇬🇧While being arrested, a protester recited a poem by 9-year-old Fatema Saidam, who was k!lled by 1$rael.
“Eyes are for looking & seeing sun,
Tongues are for greeting & saying fun,
Legs are for walking slowly & also run,
Hands are for shaking with friends Not for shooting gun”
fundamentally believe the solution to the loneliness crisis is framed wrong
it’s not just about making friends
it’s about living a life where you feel the possibility of connection is all around you
- smile at the barista
- chat with a stranger in the grocery store line
- text old friends
- call your parents
- find strangers to play volleyball with
friendships are inherently transient - people move, people get busy, priorities change.
make it so that you feel connected to humans no matter who specifically is in your life at that moment
Greta Thunberg in Greece:
I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.
Israel is escalating genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an entire population in front of our eyes.
@GlobalSumud The fact that she used that moment not to dwell on her struggles while under Israeli imprisonment, but to keep pushing for the Palestinians cause - That’s commendable on its own.
