"You're gonna forget about Palestine and Ukraine eventually."

I'm not gonna forget the mass slaughters Russia did in Ukraine.

I'm not gonna forget the children who died in Palestine and Ukraine.

I'm not gonna forget the doctors that were slaughtered in Palestine and Ukraine.

I'm not gonna forget the journalists who died trying to document the Palestinian genocide.

I'm not gonna forget the war crimes committed on Palestine and Ukraine.

I'm not gonna forget how people died trying to get aid in Palestine.

I'm not gonna forget the genocides.

I'm not gonna forget the people who refuse to acknowledge the genocides.

I'm not gonna forget the photos and videos.

I'm not gonna forget the Palestinian mother who wouldn't wash her hands because it was all she had left of her children.

I'm not gonna forget my Ukrainian mutuals who died, and how it left me shattered.

I'm not gonna forget my Palestinian friend who died because of Zionists and Islamophobia, and how it left me with Prolonged Grief Condition.

I'm not gonna forget the families that were torn apart.

I'm not gonna forget the children who were orphaned.

I'm not gonna forget the screams and cries.

I'm not gonna forget the friends who died.

I'm not gonna forget how America continues to support the Palestinian genocide.

I'm not gonna forget how certain people refuse to acknowledge Russia's genocide on Ukraine.

I'm not gonna forget the footage of the horrors Russia is doing to Ukraine.

I'm not gonna forget the footage of the horrors Israel is doing to Palestine.

You can claim that I will forget, but images of genocide are burned into a person's brain for the rest of their life. I will always remember.

If somehow you haven’t seen by now, while the Super Bowl is being aired, Israel is striking Rafah.

The people of Palestine had been told to go there, they were promised it was safe.

And while this is happening, even though earlier several tags on Palestine were trending, only one or two are now.

I haven’t written any posts personally on Palestine myself. I didn’t feel I had anything to add here aside from reblogging and boosting whatever I can but please. We can’t forget Palestine or its people especially now.

This has gone on too long and gone much much too far MANY times and now is when we need to push harder.

Many of the heads of Western countries are either beating around the bush and wasting time, or outright denying the things the Palestinian people don’t have the privilege to ignore. They don’t have the choice to look away from their pain, or the pain of friends, family, neighbors, their country. And even through all of this they’re still trying their damn hardest just to live. And we all need to listen.

So now, especially if you live in a western country like I do, now we step it up a notch. Now is the time if you haven’t already to read up on Palestinian history. Listen to what the people of Palestine are saying. Hold firm on the boycott like never before. Any and every way you can donate, do it. eSIMs, aid, anything that will reach. Save as much evidence as you can. Videos, articles. Don’t let Zionists pretend all of this never happened.

Even if you think there’s nothing you can do, I’m telling you, keep going. Even if you feel you can only give a little, if we all give a little together it becomes much more.

Hit imperialism where it hurts. In the wallet. Follow the BDS instructions, find protests in your area if you can, boost as much information about Palestine as you can find, call your reps, and do not lose hope. The people of Palestine are not dead. They are holding on even through all this and we all owe it to them to do the same.

A Free Palestine will happen in our lifetimes. But it will be hard fought. So go out there and fight hard! The governments can’t hide from their own people forever. The companies can’t bleed cash forever. The people will win. So push until we do. Do not look away. Free Palestine

WHEN WRITING A PROTAGONIST:

DO'S

make your character reflect yourselfㅡ like insert your interests and hobbies onto your protagonistㅡ this way, you won't have to struggle with coming up with a whole new personality for your characterㅡ it makes design so much easier!

put a bit of your voice and project it into the character, so it can use your opinions in dialogue.

make your character flawed! they don't have to be messed up and traumatized, but make them normalㅡ give them bad habits! they're usually cute and funny.

come up with basic things about the protagonist when you begin your character design. start with things like: their favorite food, or favorite color, even.

they don't necessarily have to be trauma-inflicted.

when choosing a name, you don't always have to pick a name that reflects their characteristics. it's not always successful, so try using a name that you just like

when choosing a name, make sure it's easy to say (for the most part) and it has a certain flow and vibe to it.

make your character go through everyday struggles, even though your plot might be dramatic, it doesn't mean your character always lived like that. show a bit of their life before the whole climax, before the whole life-changing event. show their true emotions! not every character is as cool as a cucumber and standoffish.

like I said, making a character TOO aloof could be a bit annoying to read at times, so give them thoughts that truly have emotions

give them failures! give them moments of humiliation or embarassment-- they're human, after all
