Hi! I was on Instagram recently and stumbled upon Nisreen Shehada's account. Before October 7, Nisreen posted very aesthetic, well crafted baking TikToks/videos (which looked delicious!) Since October 7, she has been sharing her daily life in Gaza.
This is the first reel of hers I saw. It's so important that she is not only documenting her daily life right now (for public record, for memory, for history) but that she is doing it in a format that is so familiar to anyone online right now.
I think that even well intentioned people can sometimes unintentionally dehumanize groups fighting for justice amidst tragedy. It is vital that we view Palestinians not just as victims or impoverished or assume life has always been this non-stop nightmare. Literally, Nisreen is like so many people I know. Like so many people you know! Just a regular lady who loves baking! Just your friendly neighborhood dentist! Aperson who loves their families. A devoted cat mom. A very stylish dresser.
I love that her page shows how people are living day-to-day now. And I love that it shows her finding moments of joy even in the darkest of times. ❤️
Please give her account a follow.
Edit to add: I've made a separate account for archiving videos and posts from regular people in Palestine documenting daily life. You can follow it @watermelllonarchive
What do you want trolls 4 to be about
I physically, mentally, psychologically and spiritually need Trolls 4 to have something to do Branch and Poppy's wedding.
Picture with me the opening scene is what looks like your average Branch and Poppy date, but Branch is extra nervous for some reason???? 🤔 I wonder why?
He starts a speech of "Poppy, we've known each other a long time...."
Buuuut what WE see are his brothers and Viva and the Snack Pack all doing everything in their power to stop anything from ruining the proposal.
Like random Trolls and snakes and stuff are JUST about to interrupt the proposal.
Floyd and Smidge coordinating defenses with binoculars.
Clay using sticky hands to stop Cooper from barging in.
Viva chloforming someone (maybe Creek 😁) and yeets them into a bush.
Bruce and his kids rerouting some loud partygoer Trolls.
JD full on wrestling a snake. 🐍
And Branch finally gets down on one knee with a ring box.
Poppy says "Stop!"
And everyone freezes, the brothers, the Snack Pack, even the snake stops in shock.
Branch 😨
Then Poppy pulls out her own ring box. 💍
She was proposing as well.
Yay! They both say yes and they celebrate.
Then the whole movie is just a disaster after disaster and setback after setback for wedding preparation.
Maybe some villain is sabotaging the wedding??? 🤔

You know when someone goes through your blog on a mass like-spree for a fandom? I love those like, 19 notifications in a row. it’s like “Ah, I see you’re well into a fixation. God bless.”
I found it HERE with free worldwide shipping
thats not a “zine” that is an “art book” and you are scaring the hoes (discouraging people from zinemaking by associating it with hefty sleek professionalism instead of extremely diy no resources low cost artistic communication) by mixing up these words

the suffering never ends
