one thing i have been thinking about nonstop is how israel's violence in gaza will have everlasting effects - the malnourished children with stunted growth for life, the amputees, the trauma..
but i have also been thinking about how israel had destroyed the fabric of Gazan society, very possibly beyond repair.
not only has israel annihilated entire bloodlines, destroying family traditions and oral histories passed down through generations, it has also removed people from the lands they have lived on and toiled for generations, forcibly uprooting them from their towns, tearing up entire communities and perpetually dismantling the societal makeup
even when gaza is rebuilt, looking at aerial footage of how neighbourhoods and entire towns have been razed by israel, it's very easy to see israel's intention of destroying culture as an integral part of its ongoing genocide in gaza

every single time israel fires on people picking up food or humanitarian aid it truly cuts me to the core. obviously it's equally horrible to fire on civilians escaping the invasion or to bomb hospitals or refugee camps or people just living in their own homes. but there's something so brutal about hitting people right when they have gathered for life-saving aid. by firing on them there the IOF have set up an impossible dilemma where starving people have to choose between death by bullet or death by hunger. they have left no room for palestinians to choose life. i do not know how my government or any other government can just sit by and watch while innocent people continue to be gunned down for the crime of existing in israel's eyeline.

Please support this initiative! For every $10, SIHA Network is able to provide one menstrual hygiene kit for a Sudanese woman or girl. That is a small amount to pay for an incredibly powerful donation.
Donate directly at the link below.
(I found this charity from this tweet. The price for menstrual hygiene kits seems to have gone up since it was written.)

You have to start noticing things. The direction of the rays of sunshine, how it touches and warms your skin; the sway of a leaf in a mild breeze; the simple beauty of the flowers; the strong smell of your morning coffee; the wind in your hair and on your face; the liveliness of the city; the calm of your soul. You have to start noticing this and start living for it.
