the EXU squad have my heart and Orym calling Fearne “Fearnie” just gave me so much joy (squeezed in a quick doodle tonight, I haven’t had much time to draw but hopefully I can go wild soon >:))
I know it’s not much in the face of everything but I have been finding hope & resilience in palestinian poetry these past few weeks and I created a google drive file of poetry collections by palestinian poets that I will keep updating as I keep on reading. I also recommend checking out @fiercynn’s palestinian poets series for more poets + poetry available online
'“Questions haunt our minds, but no one gives us answers,” 29-year-old Mahmoud Sharfi told me. “Where will we live? There are no homes left in Gaza. Are we supposed to live in tents forever? What about our future? What about our children — where will they study?” (...) The main challenge in Gaza now is to survive the days ahead: how will we live without homes, without resources, and without the basic necessities of life? How will we carry on without our families?'
before nader & his family went back north, we spoke about what comes after. like so many, it was unfathomable to him that he would ever leave his home in gaza. but the wholesale destruction of every aspect of their life, and uncountable losses has made both nader & his wife feel there is no other alternative.
their children are painfully young (their eldest is just 7), and in one year, they've suffered acute malnutrition and dehydration, displacement, living in a tent for nearly a whole year, barely escaping death from bombs. returning home for them meant returning to ruins & the daily battle for just basic supplies hasn't ended.
for both parents, all it means is a continuation of suffering neither can put their children through, especially when there is no certainty of the ceasefire holding. please help my friend & his family to evacuate

Well fucks? Get to it!
just wanted to remind everyone again not only of the 3,000+ resources offered through our Liberation Library but also of the study guides for beginners offered under each of our social justice topics!
resources can be organized by type (article, novel, podcast, video, etc.) as well as filtered and searched through. we’ve tried to make our system much more accessible than our former platform on google docs so this is such an exciting development to share with everyone.
please share to promote equitable access education!

This is Andrey X, a Jewish Israeli pro-Palestine activist.
I don't know how to describe this video so I'll just write out what he's saying:
That is the beginning of an Israeli settlement. And this is the Palestinian village of Umm al-Hiran. Which is right now under a demolition order, in order to expand the settlement that way.
And we are not in the West Bank. We are in the Naqab desert. Every single Palestinian in that village has an Israeli passport. And yet they're being expelled to make way for a Jewish settlement.
And look at the hills around us. This place is empty. If Israel wants to build a settlement, they can do it anywhere. And yet they choose to do it here. Because the only purpose of that settlement is to expel Palestinians from their land.
This is happen all over the Naqab desert. Currently 14 Palestinian Bedouin communities are under demolition orders. And thousands of people are set to become homeless.
This is the most blatant illustration that Israel is an ethno-nationalist apartheid state. The Palestinians of Umm al-Hiran have the exact same citizenship as the settlers who are about to move into their land. And yet the Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed just because they belong to an ethno-cultural group that the Israeli state wants to suppress as much as possible.
My friends, this is all that remains of my warm, safe, beautiful house, where we had many memories and where we used to gather as a happy family, but the occupation robbed us of the memories and the warm and safe shelter. When I saw the house, I became depressed and frustrated. Where will we go? Will we stay sleeping in the street? My heart is torn from sadness over what happened. I saw, my friend, you are reading my story. Put yourself in my position and imagine the extent of frustration and despair I am experiencing now. My heart is broken and torn. Help me, my friend, to donate so that we can build Construction is very expensive and I can barely provide food for my family. Help me save my family

I know I'm like poor as fuck and so close ro being homeless but with the devastating blow the other night when i woke up this morning for hours I felt like there was another black woman who needed something from me. I messaged a black birth worker I'm acquaintances with and was like there is something on my heart saying to send another black woman like $20 for lunch or something and I thought of you.
Y'all I could fucking scream bc the universe always knows. She knows. She knows when my sisters need help. She told me she didn't even know how she was gonna feed herself and her kids tonight bc her stamps don't reup til tomorrow.
This why I be so mad when y'all try to deter direct mutual aid in favor of these white ass funds that y'all KNOW aren't gonna even think abt black women and kids. Direct aid will ALWAYS win out bc them babies was hungry tonight. Not 3-5 business days later when a fund MIGHT select her name from hundreds to dispense funds.
And before a stupid bitch come up in my inbox again like before and call me a dumbass for being poor and giving money, bitch poor people are all other poor ppl got. We have to look out for each other because the wealthy don't give a fuck. Passing around a $20 back and forth between us when needed is better than nothing and I always rather have a heart for other poor folks than nothing. Someone will always be worse off than me and I have to do my part too.
