Hardly a secret. People at the BBC are told never to use the words Palestine and Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing and other terms. That has been known for a while.
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide has issued a genocide alert for the West Bank
The Lemkin Institute is horrified by the dire situation transpiring in the West Bank. During what has already been a devastating six months of conflict in Gaza, the Israeli military and far-right settlers have used the cover of war to conduct continuous attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, often leading to death and forced displacement. These attacks have been underreported in the mainstream Western press, which has also failed to tie Israel Defense Force (IDF) and settler violence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to the genocide being committed in Gaza. These processes are all part of an overwhelming push on the part of Israeli authorities to oust Palestinians from their remaining ancestral lands. In other words, Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians across Palestine.
On Eid, Israel had bombed several areas including a school, a mosque, a marketplace, and a refugee camp, bringing the total of Palestinians killed in the last 24 hours to 63, with many more still missing because their bodies were torn apart beyond recognition by Israeli bombs.
Keep talking about Gaza, keep agitating, and keep advocating because this is Zionism and this is Israel.
April 3, 2024. Journalist Zuher Dahlan was passing out candy and saw a little girl start crying. He asked her why she was crying and found out that he resembles her father, who has been missing since they left the north of Gaza.
Knowing that the Red Crescent staff shared their coordinates with Israeli forces when they embarked on their rescue mission in January to save 6 year old Hind who was trapped in a car with dead family members, and knowing Israeli forces struck the ambulance when it was meters away from where Hind was, killing everyone.
We just cannot be totally shocked now to learn that the WCK also shared their coordinates with the Israeli forces and they too had not one, not two, but three of their marked vehicles targeted separately killing 7 of their staff.
It's all part of the same plan with the same agenda on a genocidal loop. It's systemic evil and literally predictable at this point.
It needs to be stopped and calls for ceasefire just won't cut it now. These calls need to be elevated to hold Israel accountable for the crimes it has been literally broadcasting.
Gentle Chaos: Poems, Tales, and Magic by Tyler Gaca - 4.5/5. i’ve followed Tyler (ghosthoney on TikTok) for years now, and this book beautifully captures the strange, magical energy of his videos. i love his mind and creativity!
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe - 4/5. this is an excellent introduction to the Nakba and how Israel oppresses and kills Palestinians. the writing can sometimes be a bit academically dense, and the material is overwhelming (emotionally/horrifically and because of the sheer amount of it that he provides). my one major concern is the use of the term "ethnic cleansing" rather than genocide
The Girls by John Bowen - 4/5. simple, macabre, delightful. lesbians in a little english village and there’s murder.
The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White - 5/5. stunning. showstopping. bloody ghost story with a lovely T4T romance. i can’t put into words how much i loved this. i finished it in a day because i couldn’t bear to put it down for very long.
Bored Gay Werewolf by Tony Santorella - 4/5. this was just fun. also, love anything that shits on toxic masculinity. seemed like it was setting up for a sequel and i’m really hoping there is one!
Hell House by Richard Matheson - 2/5. a friend recommended this to me, but i wish i’d read some reviews first. holy men-writing-women. “horny house,” as i’ve seen some people call it, is apt. the plot is driven by rape, the fear and “horror” of lesbianism, and constant hypersexualization. it’s gross, honestly. this book had a strong start but fell apart about a third of the way in.
Unmasking Autism by Devon Price - 5/5. i’m currently investigating whether i’m autistic. whether or not i am, this book helped expand my understanding of autism and what a better, more accepting society might look like.
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.

A state-owned bank in Germany has frozen the account of a Jewish anti-Zionist organisation and demanded the group disclose a list of all its members.
Judische Stimme für gerechten Frieden in Nahost, or Jewish Voice for Just Peace in the Middle East, announced on Tuesday that its account with Berliner Sparkasse was frozen on 26 March with immediate effect.
"In 2024, Jewish money is once again being confiscated by a German bank: Berliner Sparkasse freezes Jewish Voice account," Jewish Voice said in a statement on its social media platforms.
The group received a letter from the bank informing it that a full list of all members, including adresses, tax documentation, income statements and other internal documents, needed to be submitted to Berliner Sparkasse by 5 April to "update customer data".
yeah im still thinking about the minotaur sorry but just . imagine youre born wrong. imagine your entire existence is a punishment from the gods. for something you had no control over. imagine your mother holds nothing but contempt for you. she wont even look at you, not really, & she keeps crying & you keep crying & reaching towards her with your little arms & someone drags you away from her. & they keep you hidden & alone & a stranger comes & builds an impenetrable prison around you so youre doomed to forever haunt these endless corridors & youve never known kindness or companionship or love. & when they call you a monster. well. you believe them
