" Even though it's getting worse, even though it's just as devastating as Al Shifa hospital being bombed, fewer people are talking about us. They've forgetten us"
These messages were sent by many Palestinians in different words.
Please don't stop talking about them.
Don't get distracted by the entertainment industry. Much more important things need your attention. Lives depend on it
A reminder not to watch eurovision and not to vote - even if you're scared israel will win. this is not about who wins and who loses, this is about the Palestinian BDS movement asking us to enact cultural and material boycott of a TV show that's plaforming a genocidal ethnostate. don't give them your money.
people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of “picky eaters”. no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don’t like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they’ve said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to “trick” them into eating it anyway
Weather finally warm enough for skirts again means getting to be a goth-adjacent girly disaster for working today. Now if only I had another goth-adjacent girly disaster snuggling me.
i think it’s really funny when europeans come to america and don’t tip and people get upset and they go “NOOOOO I DONT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUR TIPPING CULTURE IM NOT A DUMB AMERICAN” and then those people get american tourists in their countries and they go “NOOOOO WHY ARENT YOU FOLLOWING MY CUSTOMS HOW DARE YOU TALK ON THE TRAIN RESPECT MY CULTURE. HORRIBLE TERRIBLE AMERICANS :(“

Fuck, this may very well be the end of Eurovision as a cultural force in Europe.
What’s going on:
The Dutch artist have been showing some mild unease at the Israel presence there this year during the past week. The Irish ones have been forced to change their looks because it included the words “ceasefire” and “freedom for Palestine” in ancient gaelic script.
Yesterday, someone from the Israel delegation joked about the dutch artist’s father death (the Dutch song is dedicated to him) and there was “an incident” (undisclosed, but the rumor-mill says the Dutch guy may have punched the jokester)
Eurovision have disqualified the Netherlands from today’s final.
The Dutch broadcaster association (those who pick who to send to EV) posted this a few hours ago:
There has been protest within the Finnish public broadcaster asking for Finland withdrawal
The head of the political party who is the junior partner in the government of Spain is also calling for our withdrawal.
The Israeli delegation seem to have spent the week literally harassing anyone they perceive as critical, with several complains about their behavior already being published.
The Israeli song is one of the favorites to win, and if they do, next year Eurovision would be organized by them. If that happen, there is no way several countries wouldn’t just refuse to take part.
So yeah, there is a chance this may be it for the festival. Good job, Eurovision. Great fucking job.
Because gay isn’t only 17 year old white kids that come from middle to upper class homes. And Black Love isn’t just straight couples that enforce gender roles and women with perfect bodies, a quiet tongue, and a womb always ready to create. This is also the face of Black Love. And its beautiful. -ShiShi
