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.)
israhell math aint mathing
A bill has been submitted to the United States congress calling for a full review of the country’s bilateral relationship with South Africa following the International Court of Justice ruling that found it plausible that Israel has committed acts of genocide against Gaza. The bipartisan bill which was introduced by US Republican congressman John James and Democratic Party congressman Jared Moskowitz this week could threaten South Africa’s prospects to benefit from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). The bill will still need to be discussed and passed by congress. It states that not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, US President Joe Biden in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, shall certify to the appropriate congressional committees and release publicly an unclassified determination explicitly stating whether South Africa has engaged in activities that undermine United States national security or foreign policy interests.
DEAD PLATE OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK IS NOW AVALIABLE ON YOUTUBE AND SPOTIFY composed by our talented BellKalengar!
Below are some official Dead Plate character facts that were shared on my twitter:
RODY - has a BIG appetite - prefers fast food more than anything fancy/gourmet - rarely gets sick/cold (he'd do fine after eating spoiled food/sleeping out in rainy streets for months) - surprisingly way stronger than he looks - hates anything bitter
VINCE - favorite food is lemons because it stings his tongue in a way that vaguely resembles taste - canonically gay [though any reading through the game is valid] (art done by co-developer @ekrixart)
MANON - enjoys baking! always turns out bitter though - her parents are food critics (art done by both me and my co-developer @ekrixart)
it's very disheartening to see that Palestine or Gaza is no longer the highest trending tag on Tumblr so early on in Global Strike week, especially considering how many people have said they still need to work and buy food (100% valid, by the way). don't lose momentum. keep talking about what's happening. keep reblogging and sharing useful resources and information. we need the Palestinian people to know that we see what's happening to them, we care about what's happening to them and we stand with them. Percy Jackson and Tumblr Live are no where near as important as the genocide of Palestinian people.
This is Rafah, The "safe" zone, where 1.5 million Palestinian fled to. You have to understand, what bombing Rafah means.
Please don't look away, while everybody is busy watching the super bowl, Israel commits one of its most deadly and openly genocidal attacks on Rafah. Please don't look away.
u ever see someone with extremely fucked up views (or actions) and think wowww if a couple of things in my life went the tiniest bit differently that would have been me
