holy crap this is easily the best Tony Award speech of the entire night. hell yes to all of this
"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."
—Ali Louis Bourzgui, winning Featured Actor in a Musical for The Lost Boys
the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore because there’s barely any journalists left. 20% of Lebanon is now under Israeli occupation. 12 million people have been displaced in Sudan. Over 25 million people are facing acute hunger in Congo. Don’t stop talking.
I hope xlov gets at least a shred of visibility and acknowledgement other kpop groups have gotten for voguing and referencing queer culture. The music is great, Han Sohee is in the mv. Most importantly, the concept is AUTHENTIC!! They released SERVE just in time for #PRIDE
to whomever made this: thank you from the wells of history and farthest echoes of indigenous screams for justice for this labor of love and justice.
their terror will not be whitewashed.
78 years of ongoing Nakba.
78 years of erasure.
Against all odds, we remain on our land and the land of our ancestors.
Return is our right.
Freedom is our destiny.
On May 15, join the Palestinian people in commemorating the Nakba.

the genocide has not ended. it never did. i feel like i dont hear much about palestine anymore just bc they announced a ceasefire but israel completely ignored it. theyre still killing palestinians. theyre still cutting off supply boats. do not stop talking about palestine.
