No fundraiser links, no acknowledgment of western imperialist involvement, no criticism of western governments for not taking any more Afghan women as refugees….. white women are ultimately useless
I hate how Afghan women’s suffering is reduced to nothing more than an internet punchline to farm engagement, rather than something people are genuinely trying to address
Y'all want your partners to be obsessive and reactive over you because when you were younger no one gave a fuck about you the way they were supposed to so now as an adult you're looking for someone to fill in a void that is way beyond them
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.
So glad I learned how to turn this off. Spiritually its a form of mental bondage. Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt for this and that's what you are when you become a slave to nostalgia. Renew your mind daily. All you ever have is the present. Be where your feet are.
ppl think Europeans endorsed the founding of Israel as reparations for the Holocaust. nope. the Balfour Declaration-the British doc that promised to deliver a zionist state in Palestine was written in 1917. Israel was always a settler outpost. the Holocaust as alibi came later 1/
This Palestinian boy in Gaza broke down in tears after his glasses were damaged. Amid Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and blockade on the entry of supplies, it may be impossible for him to replace the glasses.
“My groom is a martyr…”
This is how Duaa Mansour announced the death of her fiancé, Moustafa Qassab.
“My groom became a martyr before we could celebrate our wedding…”
This was written by Duaa for Moustafa, killed overnight in one of Israel’s blitzes on Tyre, alongside his father Kamal Qassab & his sister Sireen.
Hours earlier, these were just ordinary photos of a young couple preparing for marriage, smiling, embracing & planning a future together.
By morning, Duaa was writing a farewell instead of preparing for a wedding.
“Not every bride wears white… some brides wear the pain of a homeland.”
“And my dowry was you, my moon-like martyr…
“They brought us heaven, my beautiful groom,
and scattered roses upon us, my heart…
But it was not how we dreamed it would be.”
Another family erased. Another wedding turned into mourning. Another future buried beneath rubble & fire in South Lebanon.
we are watching a fucking holocaust happen in front of our eyes. look in the eyes of these poor children. dont fucking look away. do not turn a blind eye to this.
