hi, this is the first time i'm publicly writing about my mother's death & why "i love you" feels like a terrifying confession. this essay is very much a love letter to my online friends & IRL friends to say: i love you.

hi, looking to interview Indian and global folks ASAP:

2) those who haven't yet & why

palestinians getting severe infections from a lack of menstrual products should be a massive feminist/reproductive rights issue right now

[Tamam @TamamBeitJirja]

374 doctors and nurses were targeted and killed by Israel.

Their murder is systematic and deliberate.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

In just 8 weeks, Israel killed 86 journalists in Gaza.

This is the highest toll of journalists killed during a “war” in modern history.

Genocide as self defense

[معتصم ️ @Muatsim]

اليوم الخميس كان موعد حفل زواج شقيقة زوجتي أسماء عودة (21 عام).. فتاة بريئة رقيقة متفوقة ذات خلق عالٍ ترضى بأقل القليل من العيش، وحياتها كلها بسيطة.. وكانت تستعد للزفاف بشراء بدلة بيضاء واختيار ابتهال وأغنية الزفّة.

كانت تكره الحرب وتعاني خوفًا هيستيريًا من صوت القنابل، آخر ما كتبت في واتساب الساعة 6 صباحا لأختها أنها تشعر باللحظات الأخيرة.

عند اشتداد الضرب جلست مع كل العائلة في زاوية غرفة مظلمة شاحبة اللون من الرعب، وتدعو وتردد حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل.

الساعة 9 صباحًا لفظت النَفَس الأخير بصاروخ وزنه ألف كيلو جرام سحق عظامها الرقيقة لتستشهد مع والدها وأمها وأخيها وزوجة أخيها وخمسة آخرين من أبناء العم.

The Palestinian Genocide victims.
They are more then just a number.
These are their names.

[شجاعية @shejae3a]

The ministry of health: 400 Palestinians, most of them are children and women, were killed by Israeli bombardment in Jabalia refugee camp, north of Gaza. 31.10.23 .

[Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸 @itranslate123]

We can’t breathe: These are not clouds.

Israel is literally gassing Palestinians. These are heavy clouds of gunpowder and possibly white phosphorus.

Unbearable.

[rika || ia . @NEUVIS0TTER]

the fact that some people have completely stopped talking about this after two days as if it was a short trend?? people are still dying, bombs are still being dropped and israel keeps getting away with this. where has the support gone?? #CeasefireNOW

Finally I get to use my dental degree to debunk Zionist lies.

First of all, the fuck are archeologists doing at a crime scene?

2ndly, those look like debonded dental bridges in the first picture. If they were knocked out of a person's mouth, they don't come out like that.
