Rb This With Ur Opinion On This Shade Of Pink:

Bonus:

as I am writing this, I am currently listening to Muna el Kurd’s live on instagram (@muna.kurd15 on ig).  Go watch it and see what the Israeli forces are doing to Palestinians, we’re literally watching ethnic cleansing taking place.  

At approximately 3 am in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Occupied East Jerusalem, the Salhiya family home was stormed by Israeli forces and the Salhiya family was violently forced from their home.  This comes after the Salhiya family resisted Israeli attempts to execute an eviction order on the property, despite the fact that the family had been living in the home for years.  After resisting for more than 10 hours on the roof of their home and threatening to set both themselves and the home on fire, the Salhiya family was successful in initially driving Israeli forces from their home.  But a few hours ago, Israeli forces returned to take the house and drive the family from their home.

The Israeli military stormed the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood at 3 in the morning, arresting Mahmoud Salhiya and two other family members and physically brutalizing anyone who was present.  At 5:40 am in the morning Jerusalem time, Israeli forces began to destroy and demolish the home using bulldozers. The daughter of Mahmoud Salhiya, Yasmine Salhiya, says that her father had not slept in days and he was sleeping for the first time in days when Israeli forces broke into their home.  She also reports that her 9 year old sister and her aunt were brutally beaten by Israeli forces and are currently unable to move as a result. 

Israeli forces refused to allow any type of medical help/emergency service into the area around the Salhiya home, barricading any roads around the home despite multiple reports of screams for help being heard from inside the barricade. Journalists are also prevented from entering the barrier, with one journalist reporting that Israeli forces threatened  to beat him if he approached the barrier. 

The Salhiya home is DESTROYED there is nothing but rubble and destruction left.  They were forced from their home with only the clothes on their back, they couldn’t even get their daughter’s pink schoolbag or her toys, they didn’t have a chance to collect anything.  This is active ethnic cleansing that is being committed against Palestinian people by the Israeli government. This is what forced displacement looks like, the Salhiya family lost their home once before in 1948 and they have lost their home again in 2022.  This is what generational trauma looks like, Israeli forces brutalized a child as young as nine years old.  

If you support Israel, this is what you support.  You support forced evictions in the middle of the night, you support destroying homes, you support the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. If you support Israel, you are a fascist.  

Here is a list of people to follow on Twitter to keep up with what is currently happening and what happens in Palestine:

Do not stay silent about Palestine, the Israeli government and military is counting on the world staying silent about Palestine 

Something I have seen very few people mention re: Omicron and the current surge:

Please, be cautious. Not just about the virus but about life in general.

Babes, now is not the time to get on the rickety ladder to change that light bulb or tackle that woodworking project using the bandsaw.

Let it freaking go.

Clinics and hospitals are overrun. You don't want to need urgent or emergent care right now, my loves. You may not get it. Please be unreasonably cautious around your homes.

Please reblog this, just to remind everyone that any source of medical risk is also now a COVID risk.

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

Kirby Morrow's passing is truly heartbreaking and unbelievable. He brought to life one of the best characters ever. I just woke up a few minutes ago to find out that one of my favourite actors is gone. He is not somebody we can just forget. Today is about him and only him. He left behind a great legacy and will always be remembered. #RIPKirbyMorrow
