it actually hurt reading this update. civilians claim they found a minimum of 30 bodies near the hamad school in northern gaza, with both of their legs and hands tied, their eyes blindfolded. they were already in a state of decomposition. presumably they were tortured and killed, then dumped into a mass grave with no one the wiser. this cannot be any more blatant of a war crime, but still no authority—be it the ICJ or otherwise—is truly stepping it to put an end to israel’s relentless genocide of palestinians. to top it off, if israeli officers do release palestinian detainees, they do so in the most humiliating way possible. the same al jazeera article mentions that any palestinian detainees released were released in underwear. literally just underwear. no other clothes on. it’s insane how committed they are to ensuring that every act is an act of dehumanization. i am genuinely sick to the bone of anyone who has the gal to see all these atrocities and still have the nerve to say that this is not a genocide in live time.
i’m sorry but this just makes me really fucking livid, especially when i see people on tumblr going on and on about activism fatigue and how they “just don’t understand what’s happening.” i know it’s impossible for some of you, but just try to put yourself in their shoes. try imagining that you’re the sister, the daughter, the relative of a dead palestinian. you hear news break of this mass grave site. and even though all bodies are decomposed beyond recognition, you go to this MASS GRAVE SITE anyway, hoping for some kind of closure. hoping you might be able to catch a glimpse of your loved one one more time. this is so many palestinians’ reality. and it’s not okay. it’s not okay.
with this image in mind, i hope you can understand why palestinians can’t take you seriously when you complain of activism fatigue, or not knowing enough to comment.
Hussam distributed the toys to the kids! He said everyone was so excited for them, that even the older kids got jealous and he bought another hundred toys and extended the ages to receive toys to 3-13.

t*ylor sw*ft is calling her new album “poems of a tortured artist” and i’m like oh are you? while there’s a genocide going on? while hospitals are being bombed and people are being killed? are you tortured writing those songs on either of your private jets or one of your eight houses with one of the biggest fanbases in the world who defend you tooth and nail no matter what? are you tortured??????
I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I’m like. Wow. I get it.
I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They’re happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I’d fight a wolf for these guys. I’d go way the Hell out of my way for them. I’d carry their young for miles on my own back.
nearly 80k reblogs and how many of you eat lamb
The ancient shepherds I’m referencing also ate lamb lol
