So what if I romanticize my entire life and pretend I’m the main character of a long tragedy-comedy movie just so I don’t come to the realization that I truly am living a life that is so insignificant and forgettable? Mind your business.

[yourlocalnautilus]

the fact that generative A.I. has created a completely new fundamental doubt in reality (checking to see if an artwork we see is manmade or not) and doubt in the instinct of enjoying art is unforgivable. its sickeningly tragic, and i mean it. NOTHING is worth this price and i hope that everyone will one day realize this.

Who would have believed, in the 21st century, in this age of development and technology, that there would be people living without homes and facing difficulties in obtaining food?

This cruel world watches us starving, devastated, and homeless, and everyone just watches and watches.

by the way this is the procedure to get out of gaza

it costs 5k USD per adult and 2.5k USD per child

if you want to raise this money via GOFUNDME it has to be arranged by someone who is NOT living in Palestine because GFM does not release money to Palestine. GFM also verifies every detail so it has to be accurate so you need someone who is out of Palestine and also familiar with the bureaucracy.

once you raise the money one of your FIRST ORDER RELATIVES have to deposit this money IN CASH and IN PERSON at the Cairo offices of a company called hala. this person cannot be a Palestinian male under 40 because they are not allowed to be Egypt without a permit

once you pay the money you have to WAIT for your names to be published by Egyptian military at the Rafah crossing and the you have 24 hours to get out

it is a very long and convoluted process that is impossible for most Palestinians who do not have contacts in other counties. Please please donate to the GFMs you see floating around because they’ve been verified and this is only the first step in an arduous journey. Once in Cairo, Palestinians aren’t allowed to work so they need money for their support also.

[ IMG READS: 'Microsoft killed my online life,' Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza.

A BBC investigation reveals that Microsoft is permanently banning Palestinians in the U.S. and other countries who use Skype to call relatives in Gaza. /END OF IMAGE]

On a separate note, I think it's worth posting this article as well titled Microsoft killed my online life after I called Gaza.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

[Image descriptions:

1: Instagram post by bdsnationalcommittee with a graphic saying “Boycott these companies now. The only list of companies to boycott for their complicity in the genocide of Palestinians that you need to share.” The consumer boycotts of the BDS movement are below: AxA, Puma, Carrefour, Caltex, Siemens, HP, Chevron, Re/Max, Texaco, Ahava, and SodaStream. Below are the organic boycott targets that BDS supports: McDonalds, Dominoes, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, and Wix.

2: Graphic saying “Palestinians have been advocating for boycotts like this”, with several arrows pointing to one large target. “Not like this”, with fewer arrows pointed at some smaller targets.

3: Graphic saying “Boycotts can be a tool for liberation. Targeted boycott campaigns were crucial in the international pressure movement that helped bring down the apartheid regime in South Africa. The same strategy can help liberate Palestine from apartheid today. If done right.” Next to the text are 2 photos, one of a group of protesters with a banner saying “Boycott Apartheid”, and one of someone in a keffiyeh wearing a shirt that says “Boycott Apartheid Israel”.

4: Graphic saying “Because effective boycotts are targeted boycotts, lists on social media which include hundreds of companies are not very helpful. Instead, help raise awareness for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and our list of companies to boycott. This list is carefully curated for maximum impact, and is maintained by the Palestinian BDS National Committee— the broadest Palestinian civil society coalition.

Holy shit. The Israeli whistleblower story CNN just broke is insane. I cannot believe what I’m reading

[stuckinapril]

Rare firsthand accounts by Israeli whistleblowers cast light on the horrific conditions in the Sde Teiman torture camp in Naqab Desert. Palestinians are stripped down, blindfolded, forced in diapers, and forbidden from speaking. They are subjected to beatings and mental degradation regularly. So much depravity that has gone unseen. Doctors performing procedures outside of their expertise, amputations due to zip-typing of abductees’ wrists, having large dogs unleashed on them at night. Being fed food through straws. I can’t believe it. I am truly in shock. And this is just one whistleblower accounting of this. Who knows what else is happening beyond our knowledge

[stuckinapril]

My heart is breaking into a million pieces

[fairuzfan]

Worth mentioning that multiple Palestinians have recounted these stories before, as direct victims detailing their experiences. What's unique about these accounts from CNN Israeli whistle-blower is that they're from an Israeli, therefore people are more likely to take this seriously.

[disasterhimbo]

[ID: five screenshots of text from the linked CNN article, titled “Strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers: Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in shadowy detention center,” dated May 10, 2024. The images are transcribed below.

Image 1: “CNN spoke to three Israeli whistleblowers who worked at the Sde Teiman desert camp, which holds Palestinians detained during Israel’s invasion of Gaza. All spoke out at risk of legal repercussions and reprisals from groups supportive of Israel’s hardline policies in Gaza.

They paint a picture of a facility where doctors sometimes amputated prisoners’ limbs due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing; of medical procedures sometimes performed by underqualified medics earning it a reputation for being “a paradise for interns”; and where the air is filled with the smell of neglected wounds left to rot.”

Image 2: “According to the accounts, the facility some 18 miles from the Gaza frontier is split into two parts: enclosures where around 70 Palestinian detainees from Gaza are placed under extreme physical restraint, and a field hospital where wounded detainees are strapped to their beds, wearing diapers and fed through straws.”

Image 3: “‘They stripped them down of anything that resembles human beings,’ said one whistleblower, who worked as a medic at the facility’s field hospital.”

Image 4: “Al-Ran was held in a military detention center for 44 days, he told CNN. ‘Our days were filled with prayer, tears, and supplication. This eased our agony,’ said al-Ran.

‘We cried and cried and cried. We cried for ourselves, cried for our nation, cried for our community, cried for our loved ones. We cried about everything that crossed our minds.’”

Image 5: “‘Part of my torture was being able to see how people were being tortured,’ he said. ‘At first you couldn’t see. You couldn’t see the torture, the vengeance, the oppression.

‘When they removed my blindfold, I could see the extent of the humiliation and abasement … I could see the extent to which they saw us not as human beings but as animals.’”

Today marks the 76th anniversary of the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to make way for Israel in 1948.

Over 750,000 Palestinians were displaced that day. This did not start on October 7th.

A silent genocide is happening in Congo, and a man was so desperate for the world to acknowledge the suffering of his people that he set himself on fire. Why would a Congolese man set his own self on fire? While the answer is absolutely heartbreaking, it is also simple. Society does not respect, cherish, or value Black bodies. Although it is a degrading and dehumanizing realization, it is understood by Black and brown people that the part of us that is most appealing to others is our pain and our trauma. So while it was understood that he would lose his life through this act, it was also understood that the cries of the Congolese people would continue to be overlooked unless he provided the world with the trauma [censored: porn] of Black bodies that they feast on.

What is happening in Congo? The conflict and the genocide of the Congolese people is not new however the uptick of violence against them has risen with the increased demand for resources that aid in the production of clean energy. While Congo did gain independence after years of being colonized, oppressed, enslaved, and mass murdered by Belgium, they are currently ongoing the horrors of being trafficked, raped, murdered, and forced to work for little to no money by extremists militant groups. What do extremist militant groups want with Congolese people? As the demand for the resources needed to provide clean energy increases, militant groups are encouraged by money from the western world/ corporations to increase the supply of materials. This is done so at the expense of the safety, well-being, and lives of the Congolese people. What kind of horrors are the people in Congo experiencing? Aside from the trauma from witnessing the continuous genocide of their people and the possibility of being killed, Cobalt and a lot of the other materials being mined are highly toxic and should not be handled unless given the proper equipment and tools. This is obviously not the case for those mining the materials and people are being forced to touch Cobalt(which is extremely toxic) with their bare hands while also inhaling its fumes. Among these people are thousanda of children. Millions of people in Congo are currently facing displacement due to the high levels of trafficking taking place in order to produce more materials for western corporations. Women are experiencing unspeakable amounts of sexual violence in the mining areas and children are becoming sick from being exposed to toxic materials, exhaustion, and malnutrition. There are also thousands of children who are not currently receiving any kind of foundational level education due to them being forced to work in the mines. 12+ million have died since the start of this genocide 6+ million have been killed since the start of this genocide 5+ million have been displaced since the start of this genocide 40+ women are raped hourly since the start of this genocide

How are we complicit in this genocide and how can we help? The western governments and corporations are well aware of the conditions the people of Congo are working under and the atrocities they are facing, however with Congo producing over 60% of the worlds supply of Cobalt and generating billions of dollars worth of exports, they continue to look the other way. We can show up for the Congolese people through, educating ourselves, advocating for their humanitarian aid, signing petitions, and donating to reputableorganizations, however the biggest most effective way we can show up for them in this moment is by putting a pause on our over consumption of electronics, technology, and vehicles, which all use the materials that people in Congo are currently being killed to produce.

While having access to communication devices and computers may be necessary in todays world, it is not necessary to constantly upgrade our devices in order to have the newest models. When absolutely necessary to purchase consider buying used. \End descriptions]

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.
