okay so a ceasefire will happen soon, inshallah, but i just know the second it does, most of y'all will pack it up and go home. the world has proven time and time again that the second the violence "stops", then everyone forgets about us and then we just go back to suffering under the israeli occupation. you guys need to promise us, promise every single palestinian child in the world right now, that you will not stop fighting. that you will continue boycotting, you will continue protesting, you will continue disrupting the world until palestine is free. and then we'll do it again. and again and again and again and again. for sudan, for the congo, for everyone who is suffering right now.
you guys cant keep leaving us and forgetting about us once you've done "your part". it always happens, and we always go back to suffering. you need to stand with us until palestine is completely free. until we have our land back, until we can rebuild our homes, until we can drink clean water and breathe clean air, until our children grow up never having to face a horror like the nakba ever again. you need to stay fighting until we are all free forever.

Throwback to when I took painkillers and woke up with Photoshop open on my computer to this image I had made
how much do you think copaganda has influenced mens' idea that women are always believed about abuse and have it easy?
when I was younger I watched SVU to imagine a world where the cops didn't call my mom hysterical for reporting a violent rapist (with a criminal record including rape) violating a no-trespassing order, my own father. those men in uniform believed everything he said and I will never forget that day or the fact that most women don't even try to report rape because of how the cops react, or how the rapist will react.
you have to actually talk to your neighbors. you have to actually talk to your coworkers. we’re not gonna post our way through this. we’re not gonna donate our way through this. we gotta do more — collective action is the only shot we have. we have to realize the common enemy as the billionaires and their bootlickers and do what we can to stop them from killing this world. we have to try
does anyone else feel completely fucking insane thinking about the sheer volume of claims that have been proven baseless but are still repeated as fact by people in power. like i know "gaslighting" isnt a useful word when it comes to public officials but i dont know how else to describe the feeling of constantly being told that reality isnt what it is
There's a post going around Tumblr about how if you're post-menopausal and have bleeding, you should get it checked by your doctor. I brought some minor bleeding I'd had up in a doctor visit earlier this year, prompted by that post, and this week, after a biopsy, I found out I have cancer. It's early stage and the survival odds at 5 years are 99%. I have an oncologist appointment and we may have caught it early enough that surgery alone will be sufficient treatment (no radiation/chemo).
So that post may have saved my life and it may have made my treatment a lot easier too.
If you get into menopause and then start bleeding again, really, get your reproductive innards checked out. The life you save may be your own.
