they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled
The kids are all right
Yesterday, my community service club was doing outside litter pickup, when I overheard one of my students talking about Israel killing kids.
“Yeah, Israel is killing Palestinian kids. Israel is killing children like us.”
“What!?”
*pulls out phone to show a video of babies in distress after the Israeli air strikes.”
“Huhh! Omg look at her!”

I keep thinking what he meant by “us.” Children their age, racially minoritized people, or was it something else?

Palestinian people who are suffering immensely in so many ways are still taking the time to rescue and help animals in Gaza for months now... and those who turn their backs on what is happening to Palestinian people... ya'll disgust me.
One of the things that pisses me off most about this genocide and overall occupation is how many people say it's so complicated and there's so much nuance and there isn't one easy solution. This is one of the simplest things I have ever seen. Zionists invaded palestine in 1947-48. They have occupied it for 76 years while taking more and more land. They kidnap and torture and massacre Palestinians day in day out for those 76 years. They control every aspect of Palestinian life, including their water and medical care. And now they are committing another genocide against them. Where is the complication? What is hard to understand? "Well, Jewish people need a place where they won't be discriminated against" I absolutely agree. So make every country in the world safe for Jewish people. Fight against anti Semitism across the world. Don't commit a genocide and set up an ethnostate.
every single time we come across what we think is the most horrific scene we have ever seen out of Gaza, we literally see something even worse right after.
i'm seeing a kid, 11 maybe 12, slowly dying on the hospital floor because according to doctors there are just no resources to save him. minutes later they announce him dead. his shirt moves up as he's carried away, we see that he has written his name on his body with a green sharpie.
he's loaded into a stretcher that has another person on it. the reporter says that the other person is also slowly dying.
there is a mother standing over the two of them, her face has lost all colour, she's crying and turning around herself as if she's looking for someone to tell this to.
now multiply this scene by over 10,000.
