by the way, just so I don't randomly leave this account in the dust, due to a load of personal health issues I won't get into + feeling like I need a Clean Slate, I'll be leaving here for good and moving blogs soon 👍 not sharing the url here since this is my tumblr version of going away to a small nunnery in the mountains, but you'll most likely see me around soon.
[ID: A video recording of Bisan Owda, filming herself standing still and speaking in front of a car underneath the morning sky in Gaza, with the sun visible above her head. Loud sirens can be heard around her as she says:
"Hey, everyone. This is Bisan from Gaza. We're still alive, and we wish you a merry Christmas in the Christmas eve. Wish you a merry Christmas despite the churches of Gaza are closed, full of displaced people, and surrounded with snipers. We wish you a merry Christmas despite the children, women, men, Christians and Muslims of Gaza are murdered and under genocide. We wish you a merry Christmas despite that we cannot exchange gifts or spend our holidays in our homes because they are completely destroyed, and merry Christmas despite there are hundreds of killed, decomposed bodies in the the north of Gaza Strip in the streets, at least 137 them are field executed by the Israeli soldiers in front of their children. Merry Christmas, but pray for Gaza."
End ID.]
Please think about why these videos are coming out in English. In your tongue, so that you can understand them. Don't ignore them or get tired of seeing them or call them guilt-trippy. Don't stop talking about Palestine. Make Palestine impossible to ignore. Even at the cost of "disrupting" your celebrations.

Okay, this is twitter so we can't expect sources, but No 3 is "Heimkehr" (Return home) by Hans Adolf Bühler, painted in 1940.
I've seen this painting around a few times lately and as a (German) art historian I'm asking you to please be mindful of the art works you consume online. Art is and always has been powerful because it invokes emotions in us. Artists have always used that fact. We talk about media literacy so often on here, but that extends to other forms of art as well (beyond the written word). What do we see? Why did the artist depict the scene in this way? What can we assume about the artist's intentions?
For one, the man is a dead soldier, as we can tell by the title, the uniform, the general atmosphere. So he's the odd one out in this collection of lovers embracing, right off the bat.
Secondly, the title, the date and the general atmosphere raise some red flags - it's a blond youth heroically dying for the good of the country, in the arms of an equally blonde woman. Everyone is beautiful, young, soft, lovely. And as wikipedia tells us with one quick google search - "Hans Adolf Bühler was a German painter and National Socialist Kulturpolitiker."
In other words: It's a painting of a young, clean, beautiful German soldier, dying heroically, painted during the 2nd world war by a nazi artist-politician. It's soft, it's sentimental, it's painted in the traditional style favoured by the Nazis (as opposed to "degenerate" modern art) and it's intended to send a message. Let's try to decipher those messages in the paintings we see in the future!
let my bro out for fucks sake
definitely weird to see someone ive known since like 2020 be sentenced to life in hospital prison, but i guess it's to be expected with the work i do
this is about this story
He attacked Rockstar Games, Nvidia, and more as part of Lapsus$
and we haven't talked since my indictment for obvious safety/distancing reasons
ok so this is obviously a fucked up sentencing, but i do feel like i need to clarify this is not just about the GTA hack, by the time he hacked rockstar he had violated bail about 3 times (he hacked rockstar from an amazon firetv stick while on bail and banned from using electronics, actually the coolest shit anyone has ever done), this sentencing is still extremely disproportionate but it's about like 5 different hacks really
also i wanna clarify that being a risk to corporations is absolutely not the same thing at all as being a risk to other people and that's a bullshit money hungry accusation, because at the end of the day that's all this is about.
by the way, the fact that motaz azaiza even felt the need to post a 22-minute video on december 21 in which he profusely apologised due to people criticising him for "not doing enough" as a journalist on the ground is enraging. the fact that he, as a man whose chance to live safely and happily through his 20s was torn to shreds, is being made to say sorry and explain that he's actively on the verge of being killed just for doing his work is enraging.
(I have auditory processing issues, but here's my rough transcript from 3:43-4:40 and 4:59-5:14. I recommend watching the video for yourself.)
"But the people who are still in the North—there's some blind spots about them. I can't also show something from there. I can't. I'm sorry. People sometimes say that I'm a superhero. I'm not a superhero. I can't fly to cover, to show. So sometimes people blame me (for not talking about it). I'm trying always to talk about everything that's happening here, but I can't. I'm only human, so don't blame me, because I can't, not because I can and I don't want to. I wish I could turn on my car and go there to cover, but I can't. In the end, I'm a Palestinian, I'm from Gaza, they would kill me if they saw me there. [...] So I'm sorry. I'm trying to do my best. I'm trying to not even feel weak. I am so exhausted I don't even take a rest."
yeah dude that egyptian vendor who got harassed multiple times in ny, getting called a terrorist isn't affected by this at all. visibly middle eastern/north african people and/or muslims in the west are not affected by this even a little bit. lebanese people are not affected by this it's not like israel has been bombing southern lebanon for a few months now and threatened them that beirut would be next. yemenis are not affected by this, the un didn't cut off humanitarian aid to them when they're in dire need of it because of their support for palestine. damascus hasnt been bombed at all and the golan heights don't exist wdym. these ay-rabs are centering themselves🙄
man, it's almost like israel is america's biggest military outpost in the middle east and acts as an invaluable arm of imperialism to keep the region permanently destabilize to secure their interests🤔 it's almost like that's why the us is so adamant about backing israel to the extent that joe biden once said it's the best multi-billion dollar investment they've ever made and if there weren't an israel they would have to go in there and MAKE an israel🤔🧐🥸🥸🥸🥸
The Christian population of Gaza is now something like ~1000 people. Given Israel's average, the whole population can be wiped out in 2-3 attacks.
Obviously this isn't a solid prediction but can you imagine?
My husband's extended family is part of this 1000. They are the only branch of the family that has been living in Gaza. Can you imagine that their presence can be totally obliterated?
A whole Palestinian ethnic group, the oldest Christians in the world, with its people, churches, culture and traditions - all can be disappeared in no time? And then we will tell our kids "there used to be..."?
And then you have Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem claiming, on air, that there are no Christians or churches in Gaza "because they were driven out by Hamas"
This is in response to two Palestinian Christian women in Gaza getting shot and killed by an Israeli sniper inside the church.
Every Zionist accusation is a confession.
abdullah, the palestinian boy who posts on his brother ashraf’s ig account sometimes (i mention him because i know a lot of people shared this video of him during the ceasefire) said they have to walk 2km to get any water and have resorted to eating pigeon/bird feed because they have no flour. i haven’t been able to stop thinking about them.
translation for the latest video:
More zionist racism and propaganda:
It's almost like the issue they have isn't with Jewish Arabs in Arab countries, it's the zionist occupation neighbouring them. See:
2006 invasion of Lebanon.
The zionist occupation of Sinai, which created nearly a million internally displaced Egyptians.
Israel's 2023 plan to displace all Palestinians into Egyptian territory, the Sinai Peninsula.
The ongoing zionist occupation of the Golan Heights, which is not recognized by any country, it is internationally recognized as illegal.
The zionist occupation of Southern Lebanon during the Lebanese civil war that they aided and abetted.
The zionist occupation collaboration with Lebanese christofascist Philangists, that destroyed Lebanon, massacred countless Lebanese Muslims and Palestinians, and led to the creation of H*zbollah, their current biggest threat.
Sabra and Shatila, in Lebanon.
Israel been bombing Syria with air strikes since October 2023, and bombed Syria's airports, TWICE, unprovoked.
'Israeli Defence' Minister Yoav Gallant threatening "the ones who will pay the price will be first and foremost Lebanese citizens, [...] What we're doing in Gaza, we can also do in Beirut."
Even if you somehow bend over backwards to believe Israel was righteous in any of these war crimes listed (non-exhaustive list), you're lying by saying this shouldn't be of any concern to the countries involved, or the people in those countries. Zionists are beyond intellectually dishonest.

we know due to conducted studies on lives experiences that psychotic symptoms and disorders prevent differently based on the culture and society a person lives in.
i'm so tired of seeing "schizophrenia would still exist under communism you idiots" when discussing the impact of mental health under capitalism. it's always brought up.
while psychosis will always exist schizophrenic people raised in hyper-capitalist, individualist societies have a more terrifying experience with the condition. their voices and delusions are more violent. they are rejected by their peers and end up homeless because they can't function in the only environment capitalism cares about--a work environment.
i've been in and out of treatment for psychosjs for years now and nothing helped me more than loved ones accepting me. for accepting that i'll never function the same as them and that's okay. for making sure i'm in a safe environment when in a delusional state.
so please consider it's not just things like depression that can be better or worse based on your environment.
[ID: Tags reading, “#the hyperviolence of poverty is enormous and will make what is already a struggle almost insurmountable for many people #so many of my friends with psychosis improved almost immediately upon leaving their abusive families to live with supportive friends #"mental health community" please learn that psychotic people are not a tragic lost cause by default”. End ID.]
Guys yes there are fake videos circulating but they are not being circulated by palestinian journalists. Just follow the journalists in Gaza on instagram and Twitter. They are posting videos at risk to their lives. Motaz was receiving threatening phone calls from the IOF. Wael was shot by a drone the other day and almost died. Another journalist Samer Abudaqa was recently targeted and killed. Please follow them.
I'm at work so I don't have time to list every journalist I'm following but other than the ones that have been circulating like Bisan and Motaz there is
