Israel recycles the same justification and it's really obvious that this is one of those instances where they repeat a lie long enough in hopes it becomes truth.
So here I am repeating the obvious just so that this lie doesn't get normalised:
Israel is conducting airstrikes on shelters and displacement camps, a flagrant violation of international law.
These camps and shelters have always, always been in areas designated as "safe zones" by Israel. So even if Hamas members were doing backflips in the middle of the camp, that does not mean Israel can bomb an area it directed civilians to go to.
Though never, not once, was Israel able to prove that it had in fact killed Hamas members when it committed these massacres. Civilians who live in these areas have recorded their testimonies time and time again to say there has not been any Hamas activity around them.
Still, nothing justifies the bombing of schools turned shelters. Nothing. Nothing justifies using heavy artillery against tents made of fabric and plastic sheets. Absolutely nothing.
I have probably made a variation of this post 600 times in the past 11 months alone, but remember that repeating these Israeli "justifications" without challenging them only allows Israel to continue its crimes and prolongs this genocide that had already claimed the lives of way more than 50,000 Palestinians.
thinking about how my dad fled his home country at 19 in the middle of a war and then after 9/11 came to my preschool to educate kids on middle eastern culture/food/clothing so they wouldn’t be scared of people in traditional/religious dress or worry when they heard someone speaking arabic
that poll post about when you arrive for a party is so so so so so funny because certainly that sort of thing not only depends on your region and the culture in which you were raised or currently live, but also on the extremely specific nuances of the social group hosting and attending the party. My own answer would vary among my own social spheres and the different answers wouldn’t be impolite. They’re just nuanced based on what I know about my friends and circles. Which is the case for everyone answering the poll. Probably very few people responding to that poll, regardless of the response, are truly putting anyone out, but it’s the perfect survey to be extremely difficult to do online in a simplistic way so people in the tags are just applying their own experiences and preferences to everyone else’s answers and everyone is literally out for each other’s fucking blood 
if ur autistic or you’ve moved somewhere new & ur unfamiliar with the culture I know asking when an event starts does often have unspoken nuance that can be frustrsting to navigate so when I get invited places, instead of asking ‘when does it start,’ I literally just ask one of my two failsafe questions:
‘what time should I get there’ or if it’s a repeat event like a book club or something, ‘when do people usually arrive?’
every time i ask those questions i get answers with useful additional info like “oh, well the schedule is pretty tight so please arrive right on time” or “it starts at 5 but people finish rolling in around 6ish and we get started.’
now u know the host’s expectations and u can plan accordingly without worrying about missing some nebulous social rule.
It has been 11 months of genocide. 334 days of airstrikes and ground invasions. 481,801 minutes of innocent lives martyred one after another.
I don’t know how the world can still keep spinning as this happens right in front of our faces, or why we are letting this go on for so long, but with every passing day, it seems people become used to it, even when the victims come to us themselves asking for help.
Many of us don’t know how to handle such a huge responsibility. We may feel we are not equipped to do so. That is why you get overwhelmed when you are confronted with the victims and our complicity in it and make a decision to ignore. You become defeatist.
But you can’t do that. You have to resist because this is exactly what the settler colony wants you to feel. They do want to look away. They want you to carry on with your life (your normal) while they commit the most atrocities on the most vulnerable.
Deutschland (Germany) is a country that shows no shame in their support of the settler colony. It is up to the point where they would discriminate against the Palestinians. Even to those who stand up for them. Ava Moayeri, a German-Iranian activist, has been sent to court for chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” last month!
If she goes through this, imagine the Palestinians who want nothing more but to build a better future for themselves. My friend, Bilal Salah (@bilal-salah0), is no exception. He is 22 years old and lives in Deutschland for work, but he has faced so many difficulties. He has been on the verge of deportation, making him lose access to his job and housing. His former employer has extorted €4,800 and he is still unemployed, so he can not financially support his family back in Ghazzah. This fundraiser is all he has.
So please help him achieve €110,000 by September 20th! We are supposed to raise it today (Sept 15th), but we have failed to do so. Let's make sure this doesn't happen again! We can't let him down!
As of writing this, €105,980 has been raised! There is only €4,020 left to go! If we do the math, we need at least 804 people to contribute a minimum of €5 to succeed!
Please donate and share. Bilal’s family has narrowly survived the airstrike at the al-Masawi Camp. This fundraiser will help them purchase basic necessities until Rafah Crossing reopens and they can evacuate!
Hi everyone,

like. i dont think any analysis of cis privlege is full without taking into account cis intersex people. no analysis of trans lives is full without talking about intersex trans people. the way we are treated for our genders and sexes as women and trans people and even men is not full without talking about intersex people. norms of cissexuality are intertwined with norms of perisexuality and its not just cisnormativity that says our bodies should be one way and its not just perinormativity. but if i have one word(pericis normative) then i dont have to say all that every time
something something they dont just want you cis, they want you perisex too. something something they dont just want you perisex, they want you cis too.
Iodine nutrition is a growing issue within industrialized countries including the U.S. as a result of declining iodine intake, in part due to changing dietary patterns and food manufacturing practices. Few countries mandate universal salt iodization policies, and differing agriculture and industry practices and regulations among countries have resulted in inconsistencies in supplementation practices. In the U.S. [...] mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency is common and appears to be increasing. European countries with the highest incidence of deficiency lack iodization programs.
Iodine is a mineral nutrient essential for the regulation of a variety of key physiological functions including metabolism and brain develop
U.S. dietary iodine intakes have decreased by 50% since the 1970s, and recently, mild iodine deficiency has reemerged in some population groups.
How could this happen? Salt iodization, the mainstay of global IDD prevention efforts, has never been mandated in the U.S. Many consumers opt to purchase noniodized salt, which includes most kosher and sea salt.
Abbreviations: IDD iodine deficiency disorder
Btw, both China and India mandate iodization of salt. Can't believe Bon Appetit is about to give a new generation hormonal problems and their children preventable intellectual disabilities. Risk factors for iodine deficiency are diets low in seafood as well as consumption of food grown in landlocked iodine deficient soil.
