S.―23―Mesopotamian / the Netherlands—they / she―aspiring NB bicon―multimedia artist—no space for TERFs—this is mostly my collection of art that I like

A cause for celebration.

To join Palestine Action as a member (if you’re in the UK) or online supporter (if you’re outside the UK) and to donate bail money for the members that were arrested, please visit their sites: https://www.palestineaction.org/

They’re one of the most impactful pro-Palestine movements with direct involvement against Israel’s crimes and violations, so they need all the support we can give them.

Israel is once again bombing and massacring Palestinians in Gaza as we speak with the help of equipments and drones made in Elbit factories, support Palestine Action in any way you can.

Palestinians made a document that contains templates for letters to US, UK, & Canadian politicians, media outlets, and companies in relation to current events in Palestine as well as petitions & other resources. If you live in any of these countries then please select a template, edit it to your preference and send according to the instructions on the relevant page.

Aside from that, please protest, support the BDS boycott and spread awareness as much as possible.

Children Killed during Israel’s onslaught on Gaza in the last 24 hours:

-Alaa Qaddoum, 5yo

-Mohammed Hassouna, 14yo,

- Khalil Abu Hamads, 17yo.

-Hazem Salem, 12yo.

Also note that the death count is over 30 Palestinians murdered. Adult Palestinian live are also valued and they are not target. Glory to all our martyrs. Over 260 injured as well. This is all just in the last two days and the assualt from the occupation is still ongoing. Free Gaza and free Palestine 🇵🇸

If you make those stupid “what if people treat physical health like mental health” just. Stop. Because they do. They Literally Do!

People DO say “oh you have to at least make an effort. You just need to change your frame of mind.” That’s stuff I Have been told about my pain. I’m crying from pain from standing because of my mindset. Oh you need to make an effort to stay on your feet and walk.

People DO say it’s bad to have to take medicine everyday! The example was insulin and I guarantee you that happens! Insurance companies denying meds because you don’t need it! Doctors refusing to give meds because you don’t need it and it’s bad to take meds everyday. Do y’all even know how HARD getting pain meds is?

“It’s like you’re not even trying. Lying in bed isn’t helping” FUCK OFF. People literally say this to physically disabled people. You aren’t making a point. You’re just being ignorant and lacking fucking compassion for disabled folks. GOD

imagine the most meanspirited, unlikeable, rude, bitter, self centered, negative person you can think of. not a rapist, not a murderer, not an abuser. just a charmless, tactless, dyed in the wool asshole you wouldn't want to spend two seconds with. now assume they get sick, not with the flu, but with a long term, serious illness that limits their ability to provide for themself. a society in which that person is left to die alone because nobody likes them on a personal level is a failed society.

and the thing is, no matter how likeable or charming or cute you are, peoples' patience runs out. the friends who drop everything to rush you to the ER the first time you shit blood tell you to stop being so tmi the fourteenth time. people might give you a couch to crash on the first week after your shitty ex kicks you out, but by week eight, you better have another place to stay. people run out of time, patience, money, compassion, energy. there needs to be an impersonal option, a real safety net that isn't going to dump you when you become inconvenient
