In a corner of Gaza, my family and I are drowning in destruction, with the echoes of suffering surrounding us. I sat beside my modest tent, hastily erected after losing my home in the latest bombing. The faces of my family tell stories of patience and resilience, with lines of time etched upon them, as if they were records of unforgettable events. 🇵🇸⏳🍉
I once lived in a small home, filled with the laughter and voices of my children. Today, I have become a witness to the agony of displacement. The bombing forced me to flee with my children after a shell struck our home, leaving behind years of memories and simple belongings I never imagined would become unreachable. 🏚️💨
Every morning, I leave my tent and go to work, using a clay oven to provide food for my children. Meanwhile, my youngest son heads to the charity kitchens that offer aid, waiting for long hours under Gaza’s scorching sun. Despite the exhaustion that weighs down his frail body, he carries the food mixed with his tears and returns with a fake smile, hiding behind it the burdens of his struggles. 🍞🥀
At night, when everyone else is asleep, I remain seated at the entrance of my tent, gazing at the dark sky, reminiscing about days gone by… about my home that was once filled with warmth. Yet, I still find remnants of hope in my heart—a hope that one day peace will return, and my children and I will live in a new home, filled with joy. 🌙🏡✨
In moments of solitude, I find peace in prayer and supplication. I plead to God to protect Gaza and its people, to wipe away the dust of sorrow from our hearts. I always repeat🇵🇸🍉🌿
"We are here to remind the world that we are stronger than war, and we will rebuild our lives anew, no matter the cost!" 🙏
Went with my dad and the crowd was for sure interesting. You had ppl my dad’s age, 40s-50s-60s with signs that seemed to only be about who could come up with the wittiest musk/trump collage. At the same time, people my age (20s) were very much a minority. There was one group of 5 or 6 people with two Palestinian flags. Overall the signage was quite weird. There was a guy with a ‘trump raped my 401k’ sign which like ?*!@$?#U?(?=?. There was a woman with a picture frame around her face that read 'resting bitch frame’ like okay. what does that mean. There was so much empty messaging. But it’s like where were all the ppl my age that are so quick to talk big online about their politics who could’ve stood out in this crowd? Idk. I’m just glad I wasn’t the only visibly pro-palestinian there
ive made this post before but again why do northern state trans people talk like the government is fully just rounding up and executing transgenders on sight in the south
like yeah it sucks balls and all to live here sometimes but its so funny when some new yawka or whatever is like “i want to travel to [thing] so bad but I can’t, because it’s in [southern state], where i could be arrested, or shot in the street, because it is illegal to be trans there. so i guess i’ll just never get to go to the thing :( ” buddy many of us live here every day and are transgender in public every day i wont pretend there’s 0 risk but many of you are starting to sound like those true crime podcast people who rearrange their lives around minimizing the chances of being kidnapped and sex trafficked from a midday target parking lot
