“I then began to become aware of something new and unexpected, something violent and obvious: you are Kurdish; Kurds are dangerous; it is forbidden to speak Kurdish at school. This is new because you know that three quarters of the inhabitants of this city near the Taurus Mountains are Kurds.”
“You are a child but you have eyes to see. They hate you in advance and you don't know why. The teacher hates you, the government official and the police officer hate you. "This is what changes things. I will therefore be violent, more violent than necessary against this demonic intrusion."”
award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa awoor writes:
"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?"
some of baraa's illustrations:
this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:
this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:
"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to us—a new year's card unlike any other year:"
baraa is currently fundraising to get her family of 12 out of gaza. she is a friend of mine and this is a reputable fundraiser, so please donate if you can. the egyptian government is currently charging upwards of 5,000 USD per person to get to cairo through the rafah border:
I urgently reach out to you in a time of crisis. My family, consisting of twelve… Baraa Awoor needs your support for Help Artist Baraa and
Peter Joseph on structural violence, from this video.
Brilliant
Spot on. Like Coretta Scott King said, I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.

Still reading “Near to the Wild Heart” by Clarice Lispector today. I think it might become one of my favorite books.
"we live in an uncaring universe." sorry the special planet full of beauty and animals and food literally growing out of the ground isnt good enough for you. i guess
People who introduce you to new ways of thinking and new ways of seeing life are so important
MOROCCO. Marrakech. 1998.
hot take perhaps but having a lot of ‘empathy’ doesn’t make you morally superior and crying when you see old people alone and injured animals or whatever doesn’t necessarily translate into actually being a good person
A Palestinian lawyer wearing his official robes kicks a tear gas canister back toward Israeli soldiers during a demonstration by scores of Palestinian lawyers called for by the Palestinian Bar Association in solidarity with protesters at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem’s Old City, near Ramallah, West Bank
A job I was applying for mentioned I would be working with something called a “frosted flatwoods salamander”, which sounded positively delightful, so I looked them up and I could not be more pleased with what this beast looks like
“Someone has been tortured on my behalf. Someone has been tortured on your behalf. Someone in this world will always be suffering on your behalf. If it comes your time to suffer, just remember. Someone suffered for you. That is what taking on a cloak of human flesh is all about, the willingness to hurt for another human being.”
