gaza is the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the modern era. even the warsaw ghetto didn’t have drones and quadcopters hovering above them 24/7, ready to kill them at any moment. just think about what that does to people mentally
this beautiful gay planet deserves so much better than billionaires and chatgpt and landlords and cybertrucks and US presidents and coward universities and therapy speak and biopics
Today, the body of our neighbor was found buried and decomposed.
He had been wounded and left bleeding for three days during the last evacuation from northern Gaza.
When he realized he would not survive, and that no one could reach him, he made his final decision.
He covered himself with soil and buried himself while in prostration.
Now, his remains were found in that same position still in sujood.
His body was discovered beside a tree he chose as his final resting place.
He left a sign for his family… his ring tied above the soil with a thread, along with a small branch from the tree, so they could find him.
Even in his final moments, he thought of them.
Even in death, he left a message of dignity, faith, and farewell.
This is not just a story.
This is a life. A human being. A final act of strength in the face of unimaginable pain.

Ten immediate replies: "Well said. Brownies combine eggs, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder in a way that quietly elevates the culture. They're not just a snack, they're a vibe."
Streamer and commentator Hasan Piker said that “if” Palestinian fighters carried out rapes and sexual violence on October 7, it does not justify genocide against 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. CNN’s Dana Bash finds his remarks deeply objectionable.
No major human rights organization — including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, or the UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory — has published findings confirming a single verified rape case from October 7.
The narrative was nonetheless amplified aggressively by Western media. CNN played a central role, broadcasting accounts that were later found to be unsubstantiated or fabricated, helping construct the justification framework for what human rights experts, including UN investigators, have called a genocide in Gaza.
The pattern employed by Bash has deep colonial roots. Allegations of sexual violence have repeatedly been weaponized to justify collective punishment, lynchings, and mass killing—from the U.S., where false claims were used to legitimize the lynching of Black men, to colonial contexts like Kenya under British rule and apartheid South Africa, where such accusations helped rationalize brutal repression against dehumanized populations seeking freedom and equal rights.
It’s kind of insane that we’re all lucky enough to live on this insignificant blue ball floating in an endless void that can somehow keep us alive indefinitely and yet a huge chunk of people want to ruin it forever in the name of an economic concept that we made up ourselves
Israel is displacing millions in Lebanon, while continuing a genocide in Gaza, while occupying the West Bank, while invading Syria, while bombing Iran. And somehow I’m supposed to believe that Iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
🚨 CONFIRMED: Footage reviewed and geolocated by Bellingcat confirms US tomahawk missiles hit the girls’ primary school in southern Iran that killed 180 people, most of them children.
Researcher Trevor Ball notes Israel does not possess Tomahawk missiles. United States does.
Women’s Day feels hollow when somewhere in the world a girl is helplessly crying for safety, dignity and the simple right to live while enduring war, genocide, displacement and unspeakable violence.
Remember to spot the implicit assumptions:
- Israel [and only Israel] has the right to defend itself
- Israel has the right to exist [as an apartheid state]
- Iran must never have nukes [but the US and Israel can]
- Iran's missiles are a threat to us [but not ours to them]
“lsraelis are fleeing Tel Aviv.” Imagine if all the borders were shut and they were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. Since 1948.
