If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽
now is a good time to be listening to our black sisters, our jewish sisters, our asian sisters, our polynesian sisters, our latina sisters...we cant let the "first they came for the [x]" continue.
this shit has been happening especially to those who protest the injustices done to their people prior to this major incident, and now that we have all but confirmation that these designs are on purpose and working as the architects intended then we cannot disregard each time it continues to happen to one of us. especially for our POC sisters, and especially for our black sisters that get punished for daring to protest a system that all but wants them dead and out of the way. that shit has gone on for too long
we need to learn not just from the mistakes but the intentional cruelties and mismanagement of these systems and work together to improve things for everyone. all power to all people
This is a link to help support Abdullah Al-Saghir’s (“Aboud”)’s family. He has been posting videos of his life on his older brother’s Instagram during the ongoing genocide, trying to bring awareness to the atrocities committed against him and his people. He is only 10 years old.
Here are two of his videos, with english subtitles done by @translating_gaza on Instagram.
And here is his story (read on GoFundMe)
“I am the man Abdullah Al-Saghir, 10 years old, from the city of Khan Yunis. I did not say the child because I was deprived of my childhood.
My father died when I was 7 years old. I, my family, and 8 members were displaced from our big, beautiful house, which would turn into rubble, into a tent, with a disruption in livelihood. And our life begins as hell.
Finally, Sharif, who was married one month before the war, suffered a lot when he built his house, and he did not continue to be happy with it. The house was completely demolished, and my brother Ashraf, who had a chance at the university and was first in the class, did not complete two years at the university, and the university was also demolished and his future was destroyed. My brother Ashraf, who was ambitious, and everyone helped me rebuild what the occupation destroyed in our lives.
We hope that through this support, I and my family will have a better future. The least you can do is publish the link on your social pages.”
fandom isn’t and never will be activism btw. if you can’t bring yourself to care about palestine without making it about fictional characters you need to change that. your activism shouldn’t start and end at drawing fictional characters saying free palestine.
