Natalie Diaz, "American Arithmetic." Postcolonial Love Poem

[azoraahai]

and i don’t stick up for myself i’m anxious and nothing can help and i wish i’d done this before and i wish people liked me more. ( insp )

[roleplcyheaux]

hello all, i don’t even know where to begin writing this post. i’m not really the type to talk too deeply about my personal life on the interweb and never in a million years would i ever have thought i’d be asking something like this but, i need help. may has been brutal month financially for my family. at the end of april my sister, cousin, and i were in a car accident that totaled my car. ( link to videos from said accident: one, two, three. ) as a result my sister and cousin both haven’t been able to return to work due to injuries. which has left me the main money maker at home. 

i’ve been managing as best as i can but it hasn’t been easy due to the fact that i’ve missed quite a few days in may due to accident as well. i don’t have any benefits at work so there has been no paid or sick leave to make up for my lack of hours and i’ve already blown through most of my savings. i currently have less than 50$ in my bank account with a multiple bills due. a 220$ electricity bill, 100$ renter’s insurance fee that my landlord forces us to have, 50$ cellphone bill ( i work as a home health aide and need my phone to clock in and out ),and july’s rent is right around the corner just to name a few. plus the rental i’ve gotten since the accident  is a gas guzzler which means i’m constantly burning through money stopping for gas which is still pretty high in my neck of the woods due to the pipeline shut down a couple weeks ago.

in conclusion: i’m struggling college student supporting a household of five on her own until my sister and cousin can get back to work. if there is any chance that any of you have the means to spare a few bucks my way i’d really appreciate it. my cashapp handle is $ayeasha96 and my paypal is paypal.me/ayeasha96 . whatever you can give would help tremendously.

and if all you can is reblog this post to signal boost it i’d still be forever grateful for even that.

Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright

[winterswake]

They would learn to fear her, and they would know her by her name. The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true. She clung to the wall, but it was purpose she grasped at long last, and that carried her upwards. She was not a lynx or a spider or even the Wraith. She was Inej Ghafa, and her future was waiting above.

The Palestine Reader

The following is a collection of articles, essays, and books on Palestine. These are not introduction texts to the question of Palestine or the Palestinain-Israeli “conflict”. If you need one read The Palestine-Israel Conflict by Gregory Harms and Todd Fery. Further, this is not an “unbiased” or “neutral” readng list. Everything listed below is counter-hegemonic. I feel absolutely no need to provide anything from the Zionist or Israeli point-of-view when that is the dominant narrative. With that said, I believe this provides a diverse, but in no means comprehensive, overview of the discourse on Palestine. A continuously updated page of this list can be found here.

ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID????? Kindest regards, 

[dreaminterlude]

in a time where palestinians in sheikh jarrah and other neighborhoods whose houses are on the precipice of being stolen and occupied by israeli settlers are literally ASKING people to amplify their voices so that their stories are heard so they have a fighting chance for a semblance of justice, it is outrageous and completely unacceptable for some to say that people aren’t required to have an “opinion” about the “israeli-palestinian conflict”

first of all call it what it is: the illegal israeli occupation of palestine. calling it a “conflict” is wrong, because implies that both parties are on equal footing and have equal power. understand and acknowledge that it is a colonial relationship of domination and subjugation. anyone telling you it’s a “clash of civilizations” and a culmination of a centuries old feud between two religions is misinforming you and also perpetuating the myth that the “conflicts” in the middle east are due to civilizational backwardness stemming from religion and archaic cultural practices

second, what happened to “if you’re neutral in situations of injustice you have chosen the side of the oppressor”? why are people so scared of non-neutrality and educating themselves when there is a whole robust academic field with scholars from all over establishing the history and politics of the occupation? if you need reading material here are some books/articles/scholars to start with:

Regina Sharif, Non-Jewish Zionism Hannah Arendt, “Zionism Reconsidered” Michael Selzer, The Aryanization of the Jewish State Walter Laqeuer, A History of Zionism Ali Abunimah, The Battle for Justice in Palestine Ella Shohat, "Sephardim in Israel: Zionism from the Standpoint of its Jewish Victims" Michael Hart, Social Science and the Politics of Modern Jewish Identity Edward Said, The Question of Palestine Lenni Brenner, Zionism in the Age of the Dictators, A Reappraisal Rashid Khalidi, Palestinian Identity Joseph Massad, The Persistence of the Palestinian Question Shlomo Sand, The Invention of the Jewish People Ghassan Kanafani, Men in the Sun Ghassan Kanafani, Returning to Haifa Sara Roy, The Gaza Strip. The Political Economy of De-Development Neve Gordon, Israel’s Occupation Jeroen Gunning, Hamas in Politics Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky, Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel

you should be able to find most if not all the books on libgen.is

finally, if you can’t do that, then keep up with the people on the ground in sheikh jarrah who are providing updates on the situation: journalists mohammad el-kurd @m7mdkurd and muna el-kurd @munakurd.13 based in occupied jerusalem
