The Columbia University student divestment encampment protest, April 2024

Palestinians were still suffering and dying by the thousands long before October 2023 so it makes absolutely no sense for you to bend over backwards to defend bigoted behavior towards us under the excuse that it “happened years ago” - Palestinians didn’t start suffering once you personally became aware of it. What xyz did and said in 2021, 2018, 2014, 2009, 2008, etc. still is bigoted and genocidal. Supporting Palestinian suffering is not excusable after a certain date, assholes.

My card declined at therapy so I got sentenced to watching my notifications be flooded with “this reminds me of dune” on posts about arab culture

if you play video games long enough you see the fandoms treat black characters the same way over and over and over again (wyll ravengard, felix iresso, preston garvey, vivienne de fer, etc etc etc)

#and of course the treatment is worse if the character is a Black woman #still not over how the fandom treated Jessica Drew #she was so cool and the fandom couldn't get over her being pregnant and doing spiderman stuff #pregnant woman can literally do the exact same amount of exercise they were doing before becoming pregnant its allowed/encouraged #not to mention she's fucking spider-woman she's a superhuman and a fucking superhero she can fucking kickass while being pregnant

Wanted to bring attention to the fact that Bisan called for mass protests today (April 1st). It’s okay if you can’t march yourself, but please make it a point to spread this so that those who can march do so—and also take this as your own checkpoint to ask yourself if you’ve been faltering in terms of sharing information about Palestine, doing what you can to fund humanitarian aid in Palestine, and staying informed as to the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Some might say it has been 6 months of this, but to me that’s all the more reason to make noise now more than ever. This is one of very few spaces on the Internet where Palestine has not been abandoned in people’s endless efforts to dehumanize Arabs. Please continue amplifying the dialogue surrounding this genocide. Free Palestine. Free Palestins always.

Ramadan Kareem to all those who observe, may Allah accept our fasts and duaa and allow us growth and harmony over the course of the next month. May Allah ease the suffering of those in Gaza and across Falasteen, Sudan, Congo, Yemen, Tigray, Kashmir, West Papau, and all those who are oppressed around the world. May He grant them shifa, tranquility, steadfastness, and sabr. May He grant us the strength and ability to fight injustice wherever we see it, and victory over our oppressors.

Here is a list of resources for Gaza and Falasteen. Here is an even bigger list. Here’s a much smaller one. Here is one with resources for both Gaza and Sudan.

Here is the link to a GFM that is very important to me. Here is the link to a GFM for a family in urgent need of evacuation out of Gaza.

Here is a way to help out Sudan. Here are links for donations, Sudanese businesses to support, and brief education about Sudan. Here is a post with resources for education and updates about what's happening in Sudan.

Here is a post with resources for Tigray.

Here is a post with important information on boycotting for Congo. Here is a post with links to support Congo.

Here is a list of resources for education on various issues around the world, including but not limited to West Papau, Hawai'i, Kashmir, and Armenia.

You can check my resources tag for more. I know tumblr's searching system isn't the best, though, so I tried to put as many as I could from that tag here.

Ramadan Kareem. May every action we take towards justice bring us lasting freedom and tranquility 🌙

I've seen zionists in tumblr opting for the strategy of relativising genocide by framing the situation as "complex conflict between two indigenous groups" and it's just.

Even if you accept the premise of both Isralies and Palestinians as indigenous groups, this is changes nothing about the genocide. The Rwandan genocide also involved two indigenous groups from the same region. It's still genocide.

This framing feels like a bad strategy to get people to think this is some kind of intra-community conflict so they stop talking about it but it's just so fucking dumb if you know the first thing about genocide.

Now that Israel had destroyed practically all housing units in Gaza, it is now striking literal tents where displaced Palestinians had sought refuge.

At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured today in an Israeli attack on refugee tents in Al Mawasi, an area designated as a safe zone by Israel.

Please keep Palestine in your minds tonight and onwards even with distractions like the Oscars, helping the people is more important

Anyways your "Arabs are the real colonizers" point doesn't even make any sense because it assumes we all come from the Arabian peninsula ancestral which. Not true lol.

By the way, for people who did not stay informed about Palestine throughout last week:

Isreal has planned to attack Rafah and to completely close the border to Egypt on the first day of Ramadan. This week is the very last week where we can help disabled people to get out. We do not know when the border will be open again, but it could last month if not a year. And evacuating those people out is extremely expensive. If you can please send money to either of those 2 links:

https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/raindoved

https://venmo.com/u/Rain-Dubilewski

The money is going to Safebow to evacuate kids under 4yo, disabled, and pregnant people. Those are people who definitely will not survive if they are stuck in gaza. They are extremely urgent cases, people with cancer, who need insulin, people with broken mobility aids etc...

please help.

If you're giving at least 20€, you can send me proof of it and I'll count it as an art commission.

Edit 01/03: thank you so much to everyone who gave! But I don't think I'll be able to take anymore commissions. We've now raised more than 483$US 🤯.

Please reblog the edited version now to let people know that I cannot promise to do more commissions that I already agreed to. And I know that I will stil get new DMs, I cannot stop that, and I refuse to disabled reblogs because it's too important. But if people DM me from now on, because they did not see the edit, I cannot promise them any deadline at all.

Edit 2: commissions re-opened because of recent issues they had with funding.
