Just wanted to draw attention to this, but renowned Palestinian musician Ramzi Aburedwan's first record with the Dal'Ouna ensemble, Oyoun Al Kalam has been made digitally available on multiple digital and streaming platforms (spotify, apple music, youtube) !! It's an absolutely beautiful album featuring the voices of Oday Al-Khatib and Noura Madi who were refugee students part of Aburedwan's music school. I cannot overstate how amazing and impactful their singing and vocalization sounds against the beautiful landscape of Aburdewan and Co's instrumentation. I'd also recommend listening to his most acclaimed album Reflections of Palestine while you're at it.

This is Rafah, The "safe" zone, where 1.5 million Palestinian fled to. You have to understand, what bombing Rafah means.

Please don't look away, while everybody is busy watching the super bowl, Israel commits one of its most deadly and openly genocidal attacks on Rafah. Please don't look away.

What’s the point of grinding to the bone your whole life for money if you aren’t even gonna be there to spend it…

When I was a kid me and my friends liked to play this game we called “absurd cheatcodes” in which one of us would just start making up convoluted steps for a video game cheatcode on the spot. Like, one of us would say something like “how to unlock Luigi in Mario 64” and the other one would start going like “well first of all you have to beat the game exactly 1000 times in a row without killing a single goomba. Then you have to take your cartridge out, put on Mario Kart instead and beat it 1000 times without slipping on a single banana peel. And then you put in Mario 64 again and-“ Basically just improv when you think about it.

The Human Rights Campaign (the largest lgbtq+ political lobbying and advocacy group) is sponsored by an Israeli weapons supplier

Fakegyllenhalal explains in this tiktok why America's largest official queer support group has been silent in the ongoing genocide.

She has a petition linked in her bio (<- put over here) to pressure queer advocating groups to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza (and eventual occupation free Palestine. Not just for queer Palestinians, but ALL Palestinians.

Taken from the Queers for Liberation change petition;

"We urgently call upon major LGBTQIA2S+ organizations to abandon their silence and "neutrality," imploring them to publicly advocate for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. We urge prominent LGBTQIA2S+ civil rights organizations to align with their mission statements. Offering constructive criticism is fueled by our genuine concern, emphasizing our commitment to ensuring active fulfillment of LGBTQIA2S+ equality goals through accountability."

It also denounces Israel's islamaphobic and blatantly wrong statements of the dangers and harm lgbtq+ people face in Palestine and the Middle East as a whole, and the use of pink washing by the iof and zionist occupation.

Lgbtq+ and queer people, including myself, REFUSE to be used as a tool for a genocidal regime.
