well maybe you should blearily wake up at 5:08 in the pre-dawn light and find the sleeping soft tiny mammal body of your cat just inches from your head like a miracle too beautiful for speech, and you should rustle one hand out from your blankets to rub fingertip circles across the warm eggshell dome of her little velvet-wrapped skull and on the bristly patches just where the cups of her ears begin, and as she inclines her head into your fingers and purrs without ever opening her little eyes you should feel a love so tender that you understand how that love could have reached out from the fireside into the inky spangled nights long gone to reach her, and then you'll feel better
it’s christmas eve and we are mourning. i hope all of you planning to celebrate christmas tomorrow take at least a minute out of your day to think about palestinian christians right now.
Israel has cut Gaza's final internet line, plunging it into a total communication blackout.
Israel bombed the last main fibre route in Gaza, which means that as of June 12, all internet and fixed-line communication services are now completely cut off, further isolating Gaza amidst an ongoing genocide.
ESims are currently the only way they can connect internally and with the outside world.

Much of the anti-Palestinian bigotry on this site is reflective of something stranger: the infantilisation of politics. Defences of Zionism are increasingly expressed through the language of hurt feelings, sentimental appeals, and subjective fears - to a point where even incitement to genocide is dressed up in cuteified terms. But it makes no difference. To be 'upset' at the sight of a keffiyeh, or to say that 'from the river to the sea' is more threatening than the IDF blowing up hospitals, is to admit tacitly that you're a racist who sees a people's struggle for freedom as a personal affront. It's the uwu-ification of hatred, coated with mangled standpoint theory and lib speak from the Obama years.

🌟 A Cry for Help: My Family’s Struggle to Survive in Gaza 🌟
Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. I’m a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.
We are a family of 15—10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and I’m doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.
💔 A Life in Ruins
The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My family’s needs are basic yet critical—food, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.
With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sister’s home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.
✨ My Plea for Your Support ✨
I’m a writer, and I’ve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.
