Donate to Urgent: Help us to evacuate from Gaza., organized by Khaled Ryad

Salam, I am Khaled, a Palestinian residing in Gaza City. The lives of my Family… Khaled Ryad needs your support for Urgent: Help us to e

What did you do while the children of Gaza were dying?

I argued with their killers.

What did you say?

I said that the innocent deserve innocence. That the sound of laughter is better than nightmares, and briefer. That the cost of killing may be higher than the price of dying.

Did they listen?

Do killers ever listen? They are deafened by their weapons’ drone and by the grate of their own voices raging, denying.

Why were they angry?

They said that they needed to feel safe.

Safe from the children?

They said there are no children in Gaza, only young combatants.

And the babies?

They said they are little snakes that will grow, and it is better to kill them in their nests.

And what of the teachers? The singers? The artists? The fathers? The mothers?

They said that all who live there are terrorists. And as for the mothers, they said it is they who bear the little snakes.

Did your protestations do any good?

No. I lost my breath, I lost my words, I lost my heart. But had I not argued, I would have lost my soul.

Did any children survive?

In body, yes. In spirit, it is not sure.

The children who lived, what will become of them?

Their eyes will sear holes in the night sky. Remember this when you look at the stars:

that it is the burning eyes of Gaza’s children that hold your gaze.

Columbo voice What’s this you got playing? simon and garfunkel? Ohhh yeah I know bout those two guys, very good friends, yeah? Oh, they had another falling out did they? Well, see I had a friend like that once. Pardon the implication but once you sleep with a good friend like that its never the same. What’s that sorry? Oh they aren’t…..? Well, I don’t mean to offend but which one of us is the detective here

bdsm enjoyers r onto something. i think we should incorporate aftercare into just hanging out. i need a buddy to hold me and say “that was really fun and you seemed normal”

I think about them, all the time, at all hours of the day.

Every time I'm sheltered from rain, every time I get to hold my brother in my arms, safe, alive.

I pray, but I'm so enraged and disappointed and helpless and distraught and I love each and every soul so, so much.

I wish I could grieve them all like they deserve.

I wish none of this would have happened.

I know you do too. So cry for them, and don't. stop. fighting.

Protect Palestianan children. Ceasefire now

sometimes you listen to an orchestra and you’re like maybe the magic i stopped believing in when i was eleven does exist in some form

Why do we as a society keep coming back to sex jokes?
