Confession Of A Grieving Palestinian, Forever Away From Home.

An image of a watermelon slice with a bite taken out of it - the juices look similar to blood, and there are bloody handprints on the edge of the slice. Text on a white background reads: "Being part of the Palestinian diaspora means that any joyful moment has an aftertaste of survivor's guilt. "
An image of a map of Palestine, looking charred around the edges, with blood spattered across the image. Text on a white background reads: "I am so grateful my grandparents fled Palestine after the Nakba, that they lived to tell me the stories they had."
An image of an olive branch, next to a glass bottle of olive oil. Text on a white background reads: "I am so angry for what they had to leave behind."
An image of a military rocket, with a stream of fire and smoke behind it. Text on a white background reads: "I am spoiled by the comfort of silence, where elsewhere is the boom of rockets."
An image of various red news banners, arranged to mimic the stripes of the US flag, with one blue diagonal news banner in the upper left corner. The news banners read (starting with the blue one and then moving down): "Breaking: 15-year-old-woman found shot in west bank"/ "Breaking: IDF says Hamas Leader was killed in Refugee camp"/ "Breaking: Gaza hospital possibly bombed amid ongoing conflict" / "Breaking: Hamas-run Gazan health ministry reports 177 more deaths" . Text on the white background reads: "And I am paralyzed by all of that at once."

Confession of a grieving Palestinian, forever away from home.

(For the record, hopelessness does not mean giving up. When you feel like you can do so little, just do what you can. Donate. Protest. Scream the truth.)

Honestly I wish there was someone in my life who was _this_

yes girl you are so [if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more] [hands are unbearably beautiful] [i'll take care of you it's rotten work not to me not if it's you] [if you are intolerable let me be the one to tolerate you] [i could recognise him by touch alone] [i love you i want us both to eat well] [on purpose i love you on purpose] [whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same] [i am half agony half hope] [you have bewitched me body and soul and i love love love you] [he is half of my soul as the poets say] [i'm sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for but i'm so lonely] [i love you most ardently] [let me stay tender hearted despite despite despite] [someone has to leave first this is a very old story there is no other version of this story] [mostly i want to be kind] [tell me how all this and love too will ruin us] [you said i killed you haunt me then] [someone somewhere can you understand me a little love me a little] [i will love you as misfortune loves orphans as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong] [sorry about the blood in your mouth i wish it was mine] [who will come into my kitchen and be hungry for me] can we kiss now

Hello everyone πŸ•ŠπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

My name is Aya Yasser, I am 19 years old. I live with my family under siege in Gaza City - Palestine. I study at the University of Palestine, specializing in technology. Because of the war on my city, all academic universities were destroyed and stopped. There will be no other refuge left for me to complete my studies and achieve the dreams that I want, and what was left of them was destroyed. My items that I used, such as my laptop, through which I could save money to help my family, but everything was destroyed. I have a father, an elderly man who is 55 years old, and he is sick, and I cannot provide treatment and a suitable place to care for him. He also makes a great effort to provide basic needs such as water, some food and medicine, but unfortunately life has become truly tragic for us.

I am reaching out to you today to humbly ask for your financial assistance, which will enable me and my brothers, along with eight other individuals, to escape this dire situation. Our goal is to find safety and peace away from the ongoing conflicts that have robbed us of our land, subjected us to injustice and hunger, and exposed us to the relentless attacks that have left our homes demolished. At this point, we have nothing left but the streets.

Hello, my dear friend 🌟

I am Mahmoud Jihad from Gaza, currently living in displacement camps after losing my home, university, my PC, and my city. I was studying Information Technology and caring for my sick father and siblings.

I am raising funds to help my family and to escape from Gaza, as well as to continue my studies abroad πŸŽ“. I started a GoFundMe campaign for this purpose. Your support can make a significant difference ❀️.

My campaign has been verified by @beesandwatermelons βœ….

Please share, like, comment, and donate even a small amount πŸ™.

Could your support save my family and help us survive in this fierce war πŸ˜”?

Thank you! 🌹

I'm so sorry I myself can't help. I hope this helps

Do ghosts slither through the air like snakes??

had this thought a while back, right. I was thinking, sometimes in Danny Phantom Danny switches his legs for a tail right?? There are some characters that just usually have a tail, right?? Now. Snakes. Snakes don't have limbs, they just got noodle bodies and some other interesting inner things too right?? So I was thinking, snakes move by slithering, so, when a ghost with a tail slithers in the air, does that mean that they're slithering on the molecules in the air like snakes slither on the ground??
