[hear me now] You blink down at your phone screen, and the single notification of a missed call from Wonwoo. There are no messages from him, nor any indication towards what the call could've been about. At first, your heart raced at the possibility of an emergency, but it's just one call from fifteen minutes ago. Surely, if it was an emergency, he'd call again, right?

After pressing "call back", you lift your phone up to your ear and wait for the dial tone. It only rings once.

"Hey," comes Wonwoo's voice, and because you know him, you can hear his smile in the single word.

"Hey," you parrot. "How are the boys?"

"They're fine."

You chuckle a bit, expecting him to say more about the group that hasn't been able to hang out as a whole in months. It's not that they don't care enough about each other -- it's that coordinating a meetup between 13 people is about as easy as teaching a pug calculus.

"Just fine?" you ask.

"Yeah." He's still smiling; you're sure of it.

You smile too. "What was the call for, then?"

"Just wanted to hear your voice."

Your heart warms, and at the same time, you hear approximately twelve groans in the near distance.

"Come collect your mans!" Seungkwan whines in the background. "He's literally only talked about you for the past two hours!"

rb to tell prev they're being so brave right now and pat their head a little please

last week two ambulances, a fire truck, a UN vehicle and around 16 rescue workers were dispatched to save people crushed under the rubble after a bombing in rafah (do you remember rafah? one of biden's red lines.) they disappeared, and due to israeli tanks nobody could enter the area and nobody knew what had happened to them.

a few days ago after the tanks left the vehicles were discovered crushed and buried under the sand, and one rescue worker's body was recovered. israel admitted to targeting them. and then yesterday the rest of the workers' bodies were recovered in a mass grave. one of the corpses had wire around one foot, indicating torture and interrogation, several handcuffed, all of them buried in their clearly marked uniforms and gloves.

cnn reported this story alongside like five other incidents of israel targeting humanitarian workers this past week to little outrage because the workers killed were palestinian and not international, and because israel has been regularly killing humanitarian workers.

but for the PRCS (the palestinian red crescent society), the same organization that hind rajab called desperately from her car around this time last year, one of the few that struggled to save lives throughout the war even when it got their workers killed by israeli forces, these are fathers, sons and loved ones who spent a genocide digging people out of rubble with no equipment and trying to save lives:

all of them were buried in a careless mass grave of rescue workers, found after a week of pleading from their loved ones and radio silence from their murderers and those who enable them.

at the UN the PRCS revealed that one of the paramedics had been recording throughout. the video was recovered from his phone by his family, which had been buried with his body.

the video provided concrete proof that the IDF had been lying about how and why the paramedics were killed (i didn't bother mentioning that the IDF denied the accusations in the post above, because if you don't know that the IDF lies about killing palestinians as a matter of policy—now you do)

the new york times covered the video's release, a significant correction as they had been lending credence to israel's denials for the past week (if you don't know that the new york times is functionally a stenographer for the IDF, now you do). they only show the first few minutes in the article, which prove that the ambulances were lit and the rescuers were in their gear

what they don't show is the remaining four minutes, which are audio only, in which you can hear paramedic refaat radwan say his last prayers, over and over, and finally apologize to his mother: "forgive me, mother, i chose this path to help people" while israeli gunshots ring in the background. he was found with a shot in the head.

this is the second time in my life that i have heard posthumous audio from the PRCS in which a palestinian prays to God and pleads for their mother while israeli gunshots are heard in the background. the first was a six year old girl. the second was a young paramedic on his way to rescue people buried under the rubble.

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.
