Time for a chat

Life has been a bit crazy lately. I started my new job a few weeks, I have 9 patients there, and I already got my first paycheck which I got to pick up yet (not a lot of money, but decent for the amount of work). Plus, I’m still have a part time job with my dad as his secretary. That means most of my time is occupied either with work, worrying about work, or trying to rest enough. Needless to say, most of my hobbies have been sidelined. I’m definitely not where I wanna be just yet, but I’m on the way, which means I gotta prioritize to get what I want. I’m getting sick a lot too, the last two days were hellish, and, I don’t know if it’s my defenses that are low, or a side effect of dengue, but I am constantly tired or feeling under the weather. Because of this, I haven’t been doing much related to sims. I am trying to get back at it, but at this moment I need a breather. So, I don’t know when I’ll be back, but I hope to and I hope it’s soon.

Anyway, I hope you guys are doing well. I haven’t been here much to see you do things, but maybe I’ll catch up with some of your blogs, see what you’ve been up to. Sending you all virtual hugs!

A Palestinian-American 6th-grader gives a powerful speech in front of the Berkeley California School Board following defamatory complaints against her school district by the Anti-Defamation League and the Brandeis Center, an Israel advocacy organization with pro-Trump ties.

March 28. Taleed El-Sabawi, JD, PhD writes: "Jordan should be trending right now. Protests have been blocking traffic; men have flooded the streets in such large numbers that even the repressive military force in Jordan can’t beat them into submission (something they frequently do); Protesters are chanting for Jordan to open its borders so they can march to Al-Aqsa. The political unrest in Jordan has been at a boiling point for years now.

High rates of unemployment particularly among young men; significant inflation; high housing costs; low wages; skyrocketing gas prices, electricity, groceries…hardly any industry. Repressive import taxes.

And a monarchy that pockets millions of US government aid in exchange for US military access. The monarchy is now holding on by a thread.

Expect the Jordanian forces to increase their violence against protestors. Expect the U.S. to send in reinforcements in some shape or form—If the monarchy falls, it will not be a U.S. co-opted government that will organically take its place. It will not be an Israel friendly government. Expect the U.S. to meddle as they always have & to do everything they can to keep the monarchy in place.

Even a UN Ceasefire isn’t enough to make Israel ceasefire or the U.S. to call for Israel to ceasefire. The calculus has changed. The people are reminded yet again how the governments of the world have failed them. Expect more of this around the world.

Every time there are protests in Jordan, I call my family in Amman to get a sense of how serious it is, because my grandparents are in Amman. Since October, every time I call they have brushed it off as young men being young men. Skirmishes with the armed guard as usual. But today was different. They spoke about not being able to drive in the streets, of the chaos, of the sheer number of human bodies, of the determination to do something to help Gaza—something has changed. This time, it feels different.

Additional important context: Jordan was created in 1946. When Britain divided up the Arab World into nation states. Before that there was free movement & a greater degree of one-ness. So when Jordanians say they there is no difference between us and the Palestinian people or that we are the same people , it is because the British creation of nation states was a Western government forcing the Arab people into its Western constructs.

[about further protests in Jordan] There are already plans to start again —at Maghreb tomorrow (sunset)—at the Israeli embassy and doing a sit-in again until dawn, interspersed with prayers. Tomorrow will mark day 5 of protests in Amman."

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

Good news guys! I am employed! It's only once a week and the pay is low, but it is in a hospital so I'll be seeing lots of different cases. I'm excited yet terrified! I start next week, so wish me luck!

it's good that we finally got some kind of ceasefire resolution passed, but what was passed is not NEARLY enough.

the language implies equal power between parties, the ceasefire is not permanent, US still is no longer funding UNRWA, etc etc etc. PYM's recent post sums it up well.

do not lose momentum just because you saw an article titled "UN CEASEFIRE RESOLUTION". keep talking, keep fundraising, keep boycotting, keep protesting. its not over until palestine is free

I think it is incredible that President Biden is actually feeling the pressure from our protests. No, he hasn't done everything he needs to and he hasn't redeemed himself for his role in all this, but the fact that he was caught on a hot mic saying Netanyahu needs a "come to Jesus meeting" about how horribly he's treating Palestinians? That's incredible. All our protests and boycotts have not been in vain. If we weren't making trouble, these governments could keep pretending that they've done no wrong- but they can't escape the blame.

It's encouraging. When you feel like our protests are falling on deaf ears, remember that McDonalds started the year with a loss of over a million dollars, Starbucks fell below it's quarterly sales and is considering closing locations, and people are paying attention- they're changing their opinions. And while these numbers may not be groundbreaking, they are the signs of real effects. Real change.

Never Shut Up About Palestine. Never let them think we are silent and complicit. Let history remember that our governments did not stand for us in this moment, and we did everything we could to make them listen.
