Having had a tumblr account for years, it’s so funny looking back at old posts on my account (I have had this account since I was in high school and it has seen so many different phases).
For one, so many moments I have posted about that had felt grand and world-ending, but that I now barely even remember in the grand scheme of things.
For another, my beliefs and world view have completely changed and evolved and it shows.
Sometimes I can really appreciate how we humans grow and move on with time
Screaming crying throwing up because presentation tomorrow that I have neglected all week because it’s worth 3% but now I have to speak in front of a bunch of ppl and I genuinely don’t know what I am talking about
Forever have beef with ‘Muslim’ representation because SO many authors think that putting a hijab on a character (and giving them an Arabic sounding name) is where Muslim representation starts and ends.
A lot of the time, the only Muslim thing about a character is the hijab she’s wearing. Nothing else about the character is at all related to her faith. In fact, she speaks and acts in ways that directly contradict their faith.
I am not expecting a Muslim character fully representative and completely adhering to the Islamic religion, but at least do some basic research??
I would rather have no representation at all rather than this lazy attempt at trying to check diversity boxes.
How casual you treat brown people being murdered. How casual you treat the torture of brown men. May the earth swallow you. One day these decades of oppression will end and Arab boys will sing.
Pre-order will end on December 11, 2024 so get them while they're hot!!
GET STICKERS HERE!!!
100% of funds will be donated to families in Gaza! Check out their fundraisers below, and please consider supporting them!!
Ameera's family: They currently live in North Gaza that has been experiencing dire Israeli-made starvation. Her young kids, youngest of which is 2 years old. She has spoken to me about how she hasn't been able to find anything for her kids to eat, like milk for her baby, and getting funds would really help her afford to feed her family.
Ahmed's and Dina's family: A family with 3 kids and one newborn. Urgently needs funds for medical treatment and essential goods. With winter approaching, these funds become crucial for affording winter clothes.
Rawan's family: $8k urgently needed to help take care of her mother, who needs treatment for a tumor. The funds will also be going to support her family as they await the crossing to open for evacuation.
Alaa's family: She is trying to care for her two very young kids, the younger of which has a skin infection that needs to be treated. She is facing constant bombardment and needs help.
Aya's family: She is helping to take care of 19 family members, including 9 children.
Walid's family: Walid is 3 and has two sisters, Layan (2) and Toleen (6). He is disabled and needs treatment.
Rawan and Yemna's family: two sisters and their father who need access to essential goods to live.
All of these campaigns are equally urgent and I can understand the difficulty in choosing one to donate to, especially if you don't have much to spare.
But it's better to choose one than to let indecision keep you from choosing any.
Also, your one donation won't solve everything (unless you're a millionaire and can spare tens of thousands at a time LOL) so, and I say this in the nicest and most gentle way possible, get over yourself! Pitch in whatever you can spare like the thousands and thousands of people donating to these fundraisers every day, and acknowledge that you can't save the world BY YOURSELF - but with many others acting with you, you can make a difference!
As always, free Palestine and all oppressed peoples of the world!
Fuck liberals who are reacting to their loss by attacking Palestinian/Arab accounts who voted third party. Common sense and basic math will tell you that even if all those who voted for third party voted for Kamala, she would have still lost. The simple truth is that Kamala’s campaign fucking sucked, but you guys refuse to see that.
It really shows how performative your ‘activism’ for Palestine has been. You are really showing your true colors now that you did not get your way. The amount of comments I have seen wishing even more harm on Palestine by Trump, or saying they are going to “buy Starbucks and MacDonalds” is disgusting. Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you.
The fact it took the loss of the Democratic Party because of a fucking bad campaign for you to turn on the murder of Palestinian children really shows what kind of person you are. Those of you acting like that DESERVE Trump.
We are calling for a global strike of the UAE!
The emirates is the biggest funder of the RSF, the terrorist group that loots, murders and burns it's way through Sudan. They are destabilizing Sudan so they can steal our gold and have access to the Red Sea! We need YOU to exclude UAE from your vacation list this summer and avoid giving them more money to go kill my people!
We need to Sanction
Exclude
And Divest from the UAE so Sudan can be free!

Maybe sending Bill Clinton and Richie Torres to Michigan Arab voters and telling them that their family members deserve to die was possibly a bad idea…
