THREADS:
wont be on social media due to the global strike happening this week. please make an effort to help the families in gaza by:
• avoid going to the store, restaurants, or to the movies. the goal is to be disruptive, hit the economy and be noticeably absent.
• using social media ONLY to spread posts about palestine. don’t use apps otherwise. let palestinian content flood the online world during strike days. only engage w/ palestine related content.
• be visible — make signs, set up posters on ur window sill, hand out stickers, let the world know.
if you can’t do it all, that is fine!
every little thing matters and will count towards the strike. stay safe and see you soon! 🍉
May peace be upon you, Palestine.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Hey you 🫵
Thought you might need a reminder that another strike for Palestine begins today/tomorrow depending on where you are!!
Rules from previous strikes still apply, and here are some notes from me:
- Only post about Palestine and other countries that need help (ex. Congo, Sudan)
- Only support posts about Palestine and other countries that need help (ex. See above)
- Attend protests/rallies if able to
- Boycott companies supporting Israel
(Here’s a good website for you:
and remember to also download ‘No Thanks’, an app that shows you what you can and cannot boycott.
*The app is still in development but is a great guide on what to boycott!)
- Support Palestinians financially in any way you can
(This link leads to Operation Olive Branch, it has a ton of Palestinian GoFundMe’s and tracks how close they are to being complete. Remember, every cent counts!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1vtMLLOzuc6GpkFySyVtKQOY2j-Vvg0UsChMCFst_WLA/htmlview?pli=1
Also, there are plenty of ways to help without contributing financially if you’re unable to, like this link:
The ad revenue goes to supporting Palestinian refugees without you spending a cent!)
- Petitions, petitions, petitions!!!
(Here’s one to get you started:
See all those signatures, everyone working together really does make an impact!)
- Spread Palestinian voices and awareness
(This link talks about Palestinian history, debunks myths, talks about ‘Rainbow Washing’ and shows you where to find even more information, happy reading!)
- Don’t fund the economy in any way, do your best not to spend money, make money and get out of school. (This one’s especially difficult, but it really makes a difference!)
And that’s all from me! Remember that everything you do counts, even if your just one person (Yes, i know i keep saying that, but you’d be surprised how many people want to give up just because of that!).
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!!
hey everyone.
there is a strike going on till the 30th. i will only be reblogging stuff related to palestine. i will not be able to skip school, but i will be doing what i can, even if my platform is small. i beg of you to do the same. free palestine.
![[id: digital comic of a child laying flat on their back amongst rubble, their eyes lifeless and glasses broken. the text says, "I'm dying."
"Cute cat": a fluffy cat stares up, residing outside a scratchy, rough building on a sidewalk.
"Barbed wire.": two children look up a wall with barbed wires, a ball caught neatly in between.
"Is my life flashing before my eyes?" is written out in white text against a black background.
"Severed hand": the person looks down, their shoes peeking from the bottom of the panel. in front of them, a child's severed hand lies on the ground, blood splattered from beneath the rubble.
"Crying baby": a parent smiles to comfort their crying child on a hospital floor. behind them, a doctor walks past.
"Smug soldier": a soldier stands, resting their hand on the butt of their rifle, looking down. their eyes are blocked out by black scribbles.
The remaining panels are in plain text, reading: "I'm sorry, body. I'm sorry arms, legs, eyes and heart. I couldn't give you enough. They didn't let me give you enough."

if you are uncomfortable with my stances on palestine you can unfollow. this is the first time in history a genocide has been live documented on social media and if you are to ignore and mute everything related to gaza, i hope you're happy living a peaceful life while millions are suffering
WE CANT AFFORD TO IGNORE THEM, THEY ARE DYING, OUR LAZYNESS TO SEE AND HELP THEM KILLS REAL PEOPLE!!
IF YOU IGNORE THIS, YOU ARE KILLING MY CHILDREN‼️
The situation is very dangerous. My children’s lives are in danger. Their skin is melting and peeling from diseases. There are no medical points or doctors to treat them. There is no food available for them. Israel is killing us. Please do not help it with that, but rather help me. I have nothing left but my children. After I lost my family, my home, and everything I have, I have no hope left but you. Imagine that you In my place. Please, with a heavy heart, I ask for your support
amvs for palestine 🇵🇸
@spnamvs
how it works
look at the list of participating amv makers and be sure to read what their fandoms are/what theyre willing and not willing to do! it is your responsibility as a donor to make sure your chosen amv maker is willing to fulfill your request!
check to see if your chosen amv maker is spotlighting a specific fundraiser and donate the minimum amount there otherwise donate to any fundraiser from el shab hussein and nabulsi’s vetted list or to gaza esims or crips for esims
dm date and proof of donation with a short prompt (movie/show/fandom, type of music, vibe of the amv) to chosen amv maker, be sure to mention if you are light sensitive/motion sick etc. so they can accommodate you if needed
if the amv maker’s slots are full you can either be put on a waitlist until a slot opens or choose someone else with an open slot

Free Palestine - ceasefire now!
There is currently a strike for Palestine taking place from February 18th, 2024, to February 25th, 2024. During this time, I will only be posting about Palestine on this account and doing what I can to spread awareness. If you are able, I highly recommend participating in the strike in whatever way you are able - something is always better than nothing. Staying home from work and/or school, not buying anything that isn't strictly necessary, using your social media platforms only to boost posts about Palestine, etc., are all ways to help the efforts!
Below are various links for ways you can help Palestine, including educational resources, petitions, fundraisers, etc. If you have any to add on, please do, these are just the ones I've found so far.

The entire University of California (10 schools!) just called for an official UAW backed strike due to the Palestine protests! So proud of the tens of thousands of grad students putting their labor on the line for the cause.
In light of this I wanted to share the most relevant design from my fundraiser again, the sabo-tabby (aka black cat, wildcat, sab cat) with a keffiyeh. This is an old IWW symbol still commonly used for strikes and labor organizing today. I met the friend I am fundraising for through his labor activism (I started asking him too many questions and he recruited me to help haha). He is an incredibly clever and effective activist who has been involved in a lot of successful labor movements, and this symbol is very dear to him (as is the keffiyeh of course).
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for this friend who is Palestinian. The extra income will help him support his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.
Some product examples (this one is particularly nice for stickers I think):
The design above is found here and here. You can find my shop HERE. To see a design on different products click on the display product and scroll down or go here to browse by design. Designs are available on many different products. Here is a small sample of some of my other work:
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! We greatly appreciate all the support.
IF YOU CANNOT STRIKE 18-24 FEB
many people find themselves unable to call into work or school to strike! they might not have enough sick days saved up, it may not be financially viable, they need to be in to study or their parents may not allow them to strike.
this is entirely understandable! many of us are young or otherwise at risk due to our government and precarious life circumstances. however.do NOT post about not making others feel bad for not being able to strike. any posts you see about others not striking will be about those WILLFULLY ignoring the strike [posting about unrelated things, going into work, etc when they are fully capable of doing so
posting about the ethics of seeing these posts and how it makes people feel bad draws away from the main subject of the strike, palestine. as people unable to strike, the best and only thing you can do right now is post ONLY about palestine! [only, of course, with the exception of filler tweets to avoid getting sh4dowbanned. these tweets should be marked as filler and should be as boring as possible as to not get a lot of engagement] PLEASE REPOST AND SHARE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE IT BEFORE AND DURING THE STRIKE !! THIS MINIMISES CHANCES OF STUPID DISCOURSE DURING THE STRIKE LIKE WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME !!
