Today, my counselor said "greatness suits you" and I have not stopped thinking about it since. I can be great. I can struggle and I can be wobbly, but I can also be great. I can have it all. Don't let anyone convince you you can not be great, especially yourself.

“You see that pile of useless rubble?” he says. “That’s more precious than the United States and everything in it.” (72-year-old Fathi Abu al-Saeed, speaking to Al Jazeera about Trump's claims)

I can not believe I'm getting up at 7am to wait in line for King Cake. Oh the joys of getting the first baby on King's Day.

Every day every day every day.
Shame on this world.

Happy new moon y'all.

The reason Ireland is taking its stance on Israel/Palestine is straightforward:

Ireland was conquered, colonised, murderously subjugated, starved by the British.

That breeds a level of empathy and solidarity beyond most other European nations, many of which were colonisers.

My very first ever Mardi Gras parade is called Chewbacchus and it's sci-fi and horror themed. New Orleans truly is a fever dream. Happy parade season!

The UK will bomb Yemen today & tomorrow there will be a famine appeal on adverts asking you to give £2 a month to people your tax money just helped to kill, terrorise and starve.

Grateful for the opportunity to discuss Day 1 of South Africa v. Israel, potentially the most important case in the history of the International Court of Justice.

As Hawaiians wake up to the news of Palestinian anticolonial resistance in Gaza to Israeli settler colonialism, remember that—from Hawaiʻi to Palestine—occupation is a crime. A lāhui that stands for decolonization and deoccupation should also stand behind freedom for Palestine.

Feeling down, and my dad just called me and said "I have faith in you, I have in God, and I have faith in your path. My clock is ticking but no matter what - things will be good for you. I hope I'm here to see it." I'm sitting here crying now 🥲. He is a gem. Hug your people.

You cannot begin to understand where we are today without understanding what has become normalized over the years: a systemic denial of justice, an ongoing erasure of identity and existence, and a hypocrisy in what is condemned and what is greenlit.

[Hebh Jamal @hebh_jamal]

Lol zionists in my comments saying the response will be disproportionately brutal. Every single day Israel’s response is disproportionately brutal. We remember 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017, 2020,2021, 2022 .. all those times weren’t disproportionately brutal?

[Mai El-Sadany @maitelsadany]

International law isn't something you pick and choose from. It prohibits hostage-taking, indiscriminate killing, the targeting of civilians, and collective punishment. It forbids the crime of apartheid. It has deemed this prolonged occupation and the blockade of Gaza illegal.

Just a reminder that in 2018, Palestinians in Gaza mounted the Great March of Return to show the world their plight. Day after day, they walked, unarmed, to Israel's military fences around Gaza. Israel shot 8,000 with live ammunition, killed 220 Palestinians. 36,143 total injured
