-Foundational zionist texts call themselves colonists and Palestinians "natives." It was never meant to be a movement returning the land to an indigenous population. https://t.co/b0X3GJlqEl

"An antisemetic religious group should have never been in power in the first place!"
-Israel itself supported and funded Hamas in order to divide the Palestinian people and undermine secular groups like the PLO and justify genocide https://t.co/IWEkRIK8Sr

"But their charter says they want to kill all Jews!"

[Becca // R. K. Washburn - on sub! @rkwauthor]

Anger burns out. Happiness is fleeting. But grief is forever.

When an academic cult unleashes a blood-hungry magic onto their city, a historian, a magician heir, and a tantrum-throwing demon are forced to work together, or risk losing everything they hold dear.

Power x Passion x Treachery

Power-hungry witch Ameris covets the fae throne. Bound by blood to a rebel, and seduced by the usurper's dark power complicates things. As war brews, a choice teeters on the edge of a knife–betray, be betrayed, or burn everything

THE AGATHAS x PUSHING DAISIES

When a 16yo w/ the power to wake the dead finds her brother murdered, she sparks him back for 60sec, desperate for a lead. To find his killer, she'll take on the mob & the crooked cops—even if it means she may be next to die.
