Makes me sad how often Akkah is forgotten in conversations about pre-Nakba Palestine, whether it's concerning history, resistance history, linguistically, culturally, or fashion-wise. I mean as a city it is beyond ancient, it has stood strong in the face of so many conquests... it beat Napoleon!!

I wish Akkah wasn't forgotten.

While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.

Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.

Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.

Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.

If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.

Some relevant movies and tv shows that should be boycotted:

Stranger Things: Noah Schnapp claimed zionism is sexy and Hamas is ISIS and liked videos on twitter mocking Palestinian people; actor Brett Gelman and producer Shawn Levy are zionists and both support Schnapp

The Last Of Us: israeli politics in The Last Of Us Part 2; Neil Druckmann openly supports israel

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Rick Riordan, the author of the books has made zionist comments neutral to Israel and the genocide

The Umbrella Academy: Aidan Gallagher openly supported Israel on instagram with a post "I stand with Israel", post is now deleted

Deadpool 3: Shawn Levy, the director of the movie is a zionist

Dune 2: Timothee Chalamet made a joke on SNL about the genocide in Palestine

Any Disney movies and shows including Inside Out 2, PJO, The Eras Tour movie, Moana 2, Marvel content: Disney is funding Israel, it has been announced that a new Israeli superhero will be joining the MCU

If you support Palestine, boycott zionist companies and stop funding them. Besides, there are many ways to watch the newest movies without paying a cent.

Please feel free to add more movies and shows with source links! 🍉

Another post of Bidenisms not aging well.

Honestly atp any ask I get saying its a palestinian wanting donations Im assuming its a scam bcuz why are you sending asks to random tumblrs?

To be fair, a few legit Ghazzans have contacted me in this way. There's no foolproof way to immediately identify a real Palestinian urgently looking for help VS. A scammer; that is unless you speak Arabic and specifically Palestinian Arabic. Then you can speak with them directly and identify their dialect or lack thereof, but more importantly if they can actually respond to your questions with the requested proof.

This is why I emphasize people go through me, as I've volunteered to do the vetting for folks in case I think someone's legit. Cuz y'all can't do that and you don't have the permission of other Palestinians to be doing this shit.

None of you done enough? Tf you on about. There's only so much the average folk can do?? There's been 1000s w millions of people protesting and donating and if we had the arm power to fight we WOULD.

can you shut the fuck up and just go eat your fucking hamburger buddy. if any of you had done enough, the genocide would've ended already. go fuck yourself.

History of Step

What is Stepping?

What is Step?

Stepping or step dancing is “a percussive dance in which the participant’s body is used to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand-claps,” writes the African American Registry.

Step has its origins in Africa, as dancing has been a large part of traditional African culture for centuries.

Calling Step a "bizarre silent dance without music" has to be one of the wilder antiblack racist descriptions I've ever heard of stepping lmao. Anyway if you see the video, it's step!!! They're stepping!! It's a Black American form of dance!!
