as we approach tu bishvat I am thinking about the olive trees in palestine. as we approach the new year for trees i am thinking about all the trees burned and cut down and decimated in palestine during the past century. as people gear up to donate to the reforestation and ecological concerns of occupied lands for tu bishvat i am thinking of the disregard for the environment in gaza and the west bank, i am thinking of the destruction of agricultural sites, of families’ olive groves and pomegranate trees that have stood for decades or even centuries, i am thinking of the ecological impact of incessant bombardment. as i get the zoom link to the tu bishvat seder with a list of foods to prepare in my email i am thinking of hunger in palestine.

I love how the ofmd fandom is just getting more radicalized through all the bs with Max after the announcement three days ago. The anti union sentiment from the studio during a strike. The choice to invest a shit load into terf wizard show and milk existing IPs to death. The usual slimy business strategies from a ceo who doesn’t give fuck all about what company he’s the head of. Among many other things. All of it getting picked apart for our little pirate queers. Remember y’all, one of Edward Teach’s crimes…

He would be so proud 🏴‍☠️

There is still hope. Say it out loud. Palestine will be free. The Palestinian people will celebrate their culture and heritage with each other. We will love and be loved. Do not fall into the trap of despair.

How to tell if your Fearsome Pirate is in love with you

He commandeers a Spanish navy ship just to meet you

Sits by your bedside for countless hours, gazing at you whilst nursing you back to life

Finds all of your idiosyncrasies fascinating and endearing

Allows you to wear his clothes

Calls you captain and defers to your leadership

Attempts to be a gentleman just like you

Insists that you stab him, merely to impart a life-saving lesson that might one day be useful

Spends all of his time with you, uncaring what the crew thinks

Shows concern/insecurity when it comes to what you think of him

Gives up piracy for you

Shaves his beard for you

Tells you that you make him happy

Kisses you tenderly

Wants to run away with you

Goes on a rampage if thwarted, proving he has a heart (for you) and that it's breaking

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

(I took the first video down because turns out the animator is a terf and it links to her blog. Really sorry for any distress.)

All within a few hours, the 3 largest hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza have been targeted, leaving dozens killed and hundreds more injured.

The Indonesian Hospital was bombed, and today they will run out of fuel.

There was an Israeli air strike on al-Quds hospital.

The entrance to al-Shifa hospital was bombed, which is where over 60,000 injured and civilians are seeking refuge.

A group of ambulances in Gaza were bombed while evacuating injured patients from al-Shifa hospital to the Rafah border to get proper medical attention.
