Friday Sept 27:

Millions are without power this morning and underwater.

Do not go into floodwaters. It is not safe. There is debris, animals, pathogens, and god knows what else in the water.

Late Night Wishing

“Hey.”

The stars were bright but I couldn’t see them. Maybe I should have gotten glasses. Who would schedule the appointment?

“Yeah?”

My voice felt weird. I hadn’t spoken out loud in a while, it was tiring. It felt scratchy in the back of my throat, I needed a glass of water too. He took a smoke from my pocket and mirrored my habit.

“Why are you up here?”

The fabric of his jacket made swishing noises when it brushed against mine. His fit him but mine was too big. Maybe he couldn’t see how big i actually was under all the layers. maybe he couldn’t see me at all. This was a dream.

“Couldn’t sleep”

He looked at me like he always did. I responded with no more words, waiting as per usual. I was a liar but he never pushed it. When would he? When it’s too late? or will he just leave?

“Aren’t the stars pretty?”

I loved the stars. I always lived looking at them. I should get glasses.

“I can’t see them”

this is not normal. Palestinian students the same age as me or in many cases even YOUNGER shouldn’t have to be online 24/7 advocating for their families just so they have some money to buy food and buy a tent after their old one was destroyed by a drone strike. please don’t be desensitized by this. there is an onslaught of atrocities being committed by israel every single day but we have to keep standing up for Palestinians.

the students on my dash… they’re all so young they have aspirations they have hopes. but now they need to wake up at the crack of dawn to line up at the food distribution center not knowing if there’s a sniper somewhere watching them. this is horrific

tumblr just deleted a huge swathe of palestinians who were on here trying to fundraise. if you've been helping any of these fundraisers please take this time to 1) check in with palestinians you're in contact with 2) help them submit support requests if needed 3) keep these campaigns circulating while the beneficiaries are being silenced. these campaigns are life or death, this isn't just social networking. do not let these fundraisers languish.

remember when u were like 11 and the only thing u wanted was a lava lamp

As pride month begins, let us not forget our Palestinian brothers and sisters.

if 3000+ devices exploded simultaneously and thousands got injured, 37+ ppl died in usa or london or france anywhere in the imperial core this website would be talking about it nonstop. my coworkers' relatives are lebanese and he hasn't been able to contact them because everyone's nervous of using anything with a lithium battery. the kids from diaspora are teaching their parents how to turn off find my phone and airdrop and other geolocating options. it's absurd to me people are carrying on like its normal, or just don't care cause c'mon ppl blow up in the middle east all the time, right?
