What we must all remember from the Gaza genocide is that the international system is rotten to its core and needs to be completely replaced.
We cannot accept a system where Western governments and leaders can commit genocide and war crimes with total impunity.
We cannot accept a system where the USA can veto UN measures to stop genocide, measures that are supported by the vast majority of other states.
We cannot accept a racialised two-tier system where human rights are only enforced for some peoples and not for others. We cannot accept apartheid in the international system.
All of this has to be torn down and we must build a new system in its place. A system built on true universalism. The Western ruling classes will never deliver such a world. On the contrary, they fight against it.
This is the task of our generation and we cannot rest until it is achieved.
Something about the waiting season. You'll watch everything crumble right infront of you and easily forget the work it took to get out of worse situations then wake up one morning and all burdens are cleared.
If Alicia Keys didn’t make this song for anyone else, she made this song for ME.

& “wheredowegofromhere?” is like being on an edge of land, seeing the new horizon & rather leaping we carefully consider da soil & where to step + what to grow. No urgency; just a loving patience to continue feeling wat we know, discover wat we dont & build something(s) together
we broke up in July. & today spent 7 hours debriefing our entire experience, the break up, & the slow return we been making over the last month.
from the park, to holding her in the setting sunlight of the diner, then to the speakeasy ~ all to say I love you & im (still) here.
talked to a lover today about how anxiety showed up for her/us in our relationship. I said “if there’s a smoke detector in the house, it could mean the house is burning.. but what if the alarm goes off b/c of steam from the stove? We have to look @ not JUST the alarm itself.”
