Cynical yet idealistic writer seeks chocolate, the meaning of life, and an end to her Ophelia novel.

I have been quietly posting a fic in a very tiny fandom, a chapter a day, watching the hit count go up by two to three every time a new chapter goes up

it makes me *giddy*

hello, strangers who vibe to my specific freakquency

I love all three of you so much

this one's for you

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

—You have never been to Gaza, how do you talk about it? What do you know?

—You visited Gaza?

—oh, yes! With Israeli soldiers. They showed me what I wanted to see, which is also what they wanted to show me.

(This is something you hear while a genocide is taking place, while entire families are being erased.)

While British MPs were tweeting about Eurovision — a state competing was responsible for killing 5 journalists in one night.

[Gabe @esc_gabe]

It’s long past time to bring an end to this farce in the contest. Aside from being morally indefensible it’s also destroying the legitimacy of the voting process. Just get rid of them already.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

One of the biggest crimes since the start of this genocide is committed by those who whenever we post about the killing of our relatives and friends and neighbors they comment “have you tried releasing the hostages?” and “you start the war and now you cry” as if I and my family were holding hostages with us, as if those +22,000 children israel murdered along with their families were responsible for anything, as if the babies who were born after 10/7 and were beheaded and burnt to death even knew the name of their city of birth (or, better, camp of birth).
They talk to us as if they were born on 10/7/2023. Or that could be their chosen date of birth.
You think I support holding hostages?
Hell, no. I condemn taking hostages, be it Palestinians or Israelis. I was taken hostage for three days and I was lucky I got released three days later. But many remain in israeli torture camps. Some of them were killed under torture. Dr. Adnan al-Bursh was just one of them. (Read Haaretz essays on the torture as told by a former israel soldier who served at Sde Teiman).
But how on earth does a crime committed on one day justify crimes against humanity for 19 months? I mean against a people who you have been occupying and besieging for years?
And who is really blocking a hostage deal? Who on January 14, 2025 took pride in being responsible for repeatedly foiling a hostage-ceasefire deal?
Why on earth is our suffering belittled?
You must feel shame!!

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨Heartbreaking: The entire Al-Sultan family was wiped out by the Israeli army in ongoing massacres in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza.

No survivors. No ceasefire. Just genocide.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Stop the genocide!
Why is it difficult?
Stopping killing babies!!

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

How shameful of the big western media, all of them, TV and Newspapers.
Just in 24 hours, Israel killed 131 people and erased 6 families in Gaza. And just in the past three hours, people in Gaza, I mean the family of both me and my wife , are going through HELL. Not only did Israel bomb houses packed with families but also pounded the roads to make it harder for any ambulances to rescue people.
And my heart is beating nonstop as I read the names of my friends and neighbors being killed.
And nothing on your websites or screens. Seriously guys? You call this journalism?
Your journalism should be more serious and responsible than ever because this country is enabling all of this!
I just checked every place and nothing is centering this catastrophe today!
You dehumanize us. You contribute to all of this from the start.
I will never forgive you!
We will remember this.
I’m heartbroken!!

Logan Rozos is braver than most profs. Worked to achieve his degree & knew it might cost him to speak out but did it anyway. He didn't wait until he got a job or moved up the ladder. That piece of paper has value but Logan is a person of conscience & ethics & that's invaluable.

‘4 songs that didn’t get to perform at Eurovision’

yet they are 4 artists that still got to perform at ESC the year after 😭

[Coman mondieu! @VonBrainstormPD]

EBU's double standards. Erika Vikman was censored for less, however, this is accepted without any question. Shame on you, Martin Österdahl.

i don't care how many times this is posted on my timeline, i just know this photo speaks a thousand words.

free palestine & ban israel from eurovision.

[zز 🍒🇵🇸🇱🇧 @z_00pIz]

Just a reminder that Israel's Eurovision entry was filmed on top of Palestinian graves

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

I've said it a million times by now: Israel is specifically assassinating everyone who can give testimony to the ICJ about its genocide. That's what this phase of the genocide is about. Anyone who has information on Israel's war crimes should write it down as testimony and send it as many people as possible right now.

[Ashok Kumar | 🇵🇸 @broseph_stalin]

One day Netanyahu will die, and liberal Zionists will rush to pin the horror inflicted on Palestinians solely on him. But it wasn’t just Netanyahu. Only 10 Israeli citizens refused to fight. The blockade that starved Gaza and blocked international aid and water was maintained by the whole of Israeli society. This was not the act of one man—it was collective. No one will forget. No one will forgive.

[Jeremy Konyndyk @JeremyKonyndyk]

Teachable moment here.

I don't love using the term "humanitarian principles" b/c it sounds like an ethical creed.

That's not what the principles are. They are fundamentally a *tool* to enable safe humanitarian access.

A tool refined by years of hard lessons.

Quick🧵

[Jeremy Konyndyk @JeremyKonyndyk]

Their objection is not some airy ethical concern - it is driven by long experience in many war zones over many decades.

We know that this sort of thing does not work and is not safe. THAT is the fundamental objection.

It’s not a wildfire. It’s arson.

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

Israel is blocking international aid from reaching starving and besieged Palestinian victims of a war Israel is waging, while at the same time appealing for global assistance to recover from wildfires sparked by Israeli settlers setting Palestinian land ablaze. The cruelty is only matched by the hypocrisy: denying help to those being destroyed, while demanding help to repair the consequences of that destruction.
