I make references to afterlife because in times of crisis like this, it comforts me. But I’d like to mention no matter what you believe in, your empathy is needed. And your voice matters.
been going insane over Bruce in his eating dome for 24 hrs now
The occupation has no humanity. Rest in peace Sidra. Remember her name, Sidra Hassouna.
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
the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.

170 hours later and this behemoth project is completed. After being moved to tears three times by Dr. Alareer's poem, I needed to create something. Hopefully this honours his memory.
Hoping to get some funding from local orgs to get this printed into a physical booklet for distribution.
From the river, to the sea!

Seeing footage of the aftermath of the flour massacre in Gaza is so painful
"Where is my daughter? Tell her I don't want flour anymore"
"My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him"
"Why does flour have to be stained with blood?"
Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.
Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against innocent civilians. Israel ambushes starving Palestinians and shoots them. Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself. This is another episode of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
