im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary
palestinians deserve the right to be able to travel freely in our homeland. to even visit our homeland. for us to have citizenship and rights to our own country. to grow our plants. practice our religions. live without fear that our children can be kidnapped by israeli forces on their violent whims. to not have our life savings poured into building a home for our families that are torn down without real warning by israeli bulldozers. to no longer be refugees. like this is real life. this is real.
we don’t want to be reduced to a never ending slogan. we want to put down our need for resistance. to rest & to live.
the creator of this tiktok, zainah.mb, has many family members in palestine who have been martyred. at least 37, in fact. if you would like to help her out financially, she runs a hijab shop called modest behavior, and sells sister minnie merch. here's a link to her paypal as well.
as far as i know, she doesn't live in palestine, but she is palestinian. consider supporting her
these folks still have not reached their goal and they have been fund raising since march!
if you have even a few euros to give they will be that much closer to their goal, and that much closer to providing much needed food and water to the people in palestine
the people of Palestine need our help, let's do what we can!
Block the writing-prompt-s blog. I don't care if you like them I don't care if they're important to your ability to practice your creativity. They chased a genocide survivor off of tumblr with harassment and baseless accusations. This is a serious fucking problem and it's more important than 1 writing prompt blog.
This is already getting more notes than I anticipated so here. And Ahmed got the help of another blogger to make the announcement that he will not be returning to tumblr due to the hate and harassment he received in no small part thanks to writing-prompt-s' harassment and then this is the best that his little shitfans have to say:
I cannot emphasize enough how much white people have obssessively played the victim of hate campaigns and false accusations while LEADING them in this situation. Fucking laughable trying to paint "the largest blog on here" as a victim of a witchhunt for skepticism. Motherfucker went out of his way to shit on a genocide survivor and helped the mob chase him off the platform. White people will never ever ever take responsibility for their actions.
the @drawing-prompt-s account was started by @/writing-prompt-s, but has been run by a different person for eight years now (see their pinned post). they have nothing to do with this.
i'm not sure if @/writing-prompt-s and @/badjokesbyjeff is really run by the same person either, but both of these two accounts have been peddling the palestinian scam ring lie.
also, with the traction this is gaining, i hope people will consider donating to the gazans who were directly singled out during this, or at least help share their fundraisers.
How it feels to be so similar to my mother that she'll never die, she'll live as long as I do because I am her. I'm her puppet, her carbon copy, her longest companion. I'm typing this sat next to her after we shared a drink together and she'll still talk to me and show me things and ask me things. To think there'll be a day that I don't spend with her is to think of doom. She is my biggest hater and the one who loves me the most, no one could ever wish to replace her. I couldn't live without her. She will live on within me, and one day within my daughter. I am not just my mother's daughter, I am my mother and I will never escape her legacy.
It's really simple. If you're born with a vagina and you naturally have elevated testosterone levels, you're a man. If you have a vagina and you take testosterone, you're a woman. But also if you have a vagina, you'll never be a man. But also if you have higher testosterone then you were never a woman. Woman never yes man a vagina testosterone no was an elevated. Vagina man.
