You are here: in the swaying columns of what once was.
Sunlight filters through the canopy of almost and what if, dappling the ocean floor in gold-green shadows.
What you came to mourn has already become something else.
may your wholeness never be defined by anyones ideas of you or their lack of validation, but instead, by how you perceive yourself and how you water the beautiful parts of you that anyone chooses to ignore.
Everyone being killed, tortured, and displaced in Gaza, Sudan, & Congo are people. They are human beings. If u feel yourself going numb due to the sheer numbers ur seeing, please take a second to think of the *humans* going through this. Learn at least one of their stories today.
What’s meant for you will happen for you in a way which you could never expect or explain. Nothing can get in the way of it and how it will enter your life. Just be in a constant state of gratitude and focus your mindset on your vision. Believe in it. It’s all happening for you.
let's be real—sometimes the wins you’re looking for don’t require any new information or resources. sometimes, you just need to focus on the fundamentals. do the work that will improve your position incrementally, with time, instead of trying to swing for the fences every day.
Macklemore : “The system of oppression desperately wants us to go back to normal life as the killing continues. They want us to see Palestinian life as separate from our own. I will not.”
🚨Israel cancels the visa of the UN Humanitarian Coordinator Lynn Hastings b/c she made a statement highlighting the catastrophic situation in Gaza.
Israel's Foreign Minister personally attacked Hastings & declared she won't be allowed into Israel (& by extension Palestine).

This. This moment is bigger than a lot of us understand right now. People are connecting the dots and asking the right questions on a scale that hasn’t happened for a very long time.
Today is the deportation deadline for 1.7 million undocumented Afghan refugees.
It is a human rights catastrophe that will upend countless lives, many who have sought refuge in Pakistan for over 30 years.
Refugees are always the first to blame for broken, failing governments. I urge the Pakistani people to stand on the right side of history.
Afghanistan is not safe.
The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.
Your open heart isn’t a liability.
It’s a strength.
Don’t let the foolishness of heartless people cause you to harden.
Continue to feel. Stay human.
Stay spiritually guided. Stay true.
At this point even a ceasefire isn't enough. Palestine doesn't only need peace, it also needs freedom. Peace is a big step forward. But without liberation, nothing will stop Israel from repeating its crimes in the future, especially since international laws don't apply to them.
Thirteen days ago, I called for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation by the Israeli government, which had begun a horrific siege on Palestinians in Gaza. Since I made that statement, Israel has only escalated its assault on millions of Gazans. 1/
For 75 years, the Israeli government has illegally occupied Palestinian land and ethnically cleansed their communities.
Now, Gaza is facing genocide with full support from the U.S. and we're here as Jews to refuse complicity and say never again, for anyone.
