it's devastating to see the aftermath of the israeli genocide on gaza. an entire city that was a home to two million people has been turned into rubble and made into a mass grave for hundreds of thousands of people.
we maintain hope that gaza will be rebuilt. that her people will return and be able to live with some sense of normalcy despite the events of the last fifteen months.
it's just so surreal to see people believe that the fight for a free palestine is over and that we've 'won'. a ceasefire is a very crucial step but it is the first of many steps in the liberation of palestine.
im here to remind you to continue to escalate for palestine until it is free. continue to help in whatever way you can. continue to donate to families who are trying to recover from the horrors they've survived. continue to care for other human beings.
i also request you to donate to alaa's fundraiser and help her give a better life to her children. her fundraiser has been verified.
please donate here
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
I'm sorry I'm going fucking insane over trans people in sports issues the anti trans crowd has lost the fucking plot and then has the audacity to act like its the trannies who are ridiculous
I used to be of the "well the sports issue isn't really important to me its w/e I just don't want it to be a gateway into other transphobia" but oh my fucking god we are so far gone. The fencing shit is sending me over the edge. What the fuck.
In Gaza, the wounded are killed.
Whoever transmits the news will be killed.
Whoever treats the wounded will be killed.
Whoever rescues people will be killed.
Whoever feeds them will be killed.
Whoever gives them water will be killed.
Whoever does nothing will be killed.
Whoever remains silent about all of this is an accomplice to the killer.
Please don't stop helping my families we are suffering every moment donate to us here
I need to your donation urgently
I was living in a tent inside Al-Aqsa Hospital and my tent was bombed and burned💔💔⛺🔥🔥 and I and my children remained in the street. I do not have a tent or a mattress or anything.Not even a place for me and my children 😭😭
This is the lava of fire that fell on me and my children. My tent burned and my children burned. 💔⛺🔥⛺🔥🔥
This treatment is almost non-existent. There is no treatment and I need to buy it for my child. Its price is very expensive, about 400 dollars. 💔😭😭😭
My child burned in front of my eyes and my tent too. Imagine, my dear, your child is burning in front of you and you cannot buy him treatment. Save my child’s life. 😭😭😭💔💔
I am calling on your human conscience to help me buy medicine for my child, treat his burns, 😭🔥⛺🔥and buy a tent to shelter us from the bitter cold of winter. My children need your donations. Save what is left of the children’s lives.🥶🥶💔😭😭
Imagine, my dear, that your child does not sleep at night because of pain and hunger. My children are dying from pain and hunger. Please donate to me and my children. Please, your donation will make me happy and will save my children. Donate $20 and save my children's lives so I can buy them medicine and food.💓💓

it's very surreal to see posts about palestine dwindling down after the ceasefire. israel is still blocking aid to and trying to make life difficult for palestinians in gaza. we still have to continue to speak up about gaza.
in this ceasefire, many palestinians are trying to rebuild in attempts to try and return to what they had before the genocide. despite the heavy and unbearable loss of life that gaza has experienced, her people continue to try to make a better world for their children.
alaa is a mother of two young children. she wants to rebuild her house and get a better future for her children. please have heart and consider helping her out. her fundraiser has been verified.

I don't know if people genuinely aren't putting 2 and 2 together
But when Trump is arguing that native americans "don't have birthright to live here" and is trying to "deport them"
It means we go in the same camps immigrants are going in
Mexico and other countries aren't taking the immigrants the US is "trying" to send back, he's going to kill us
The US is making death camps, and they are taking everyone they find undesirable to send there
Natives count as the undesirables too.

additional info:
-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria
many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!
please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month
