If Any Of You Ever Feel Like What You're Doing For Palestine Isn't Helping Anything, I'll Tell You Right

If any of you ever feel like what you're doing for Palestine isn't helping anything, I'll tell you right now it's helping me. I know it is fortifying all of us who have been in this fight for years to see so many people willing to speak up. It has never been like this before.

The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.

Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how "the blame" is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.

Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.

We see you. We see you standing in solidarity with us and with Palestinians. We love you. Thank you.

I don't have money to give you crabs. Please say "yeeclaw" back to him.

Yeeclaw!!

striking in support of Palestine! blog will be back on the 26th-

https://gazaesims.com/ if you can, please purchase an esim so people in Gaza can access the internet! ($34 USD/32€/£27/530k rupiah)

if you're in the US, you can call your representatives and leave a voicemail during office hours! their offices rarely ever answer so yes you will speak with a robot and then leave a message after the beep. I recommend using 5 Calls, it's a great, simple app that gives you a script, the numbers to call, and keeps track.

remember to share reports on the ground from Gazans and boycott 🇵🇸

my Indonesian family use their Chinese surnames at home but even then it's only among family. they use their Indonesian last names around everyone save for other Chinese. when they showed us photos of their old storefront with characters out front it was like sharing a secret

even as a non-Indonesian I understood how delicate it felt in those moments, "this is who we are and who we come from. but don't tell anyone else. be careful. hold it close to you" it felt as if even their thoughts about it were whispered

I don't think any of my family in Indonesia follows DC this closely but I wish so much that I was close enough with them to show them your Lois Liando comic because it struck me so close to my heart as part of the Chinese diaspora, especially coming from a Hakka background where we didn't immigrate as wealthy merchants or business owners

so... at what point does your lois officially start using her last name liando pubically, or does she still use her step-dad's last name except in private? just curious.

I think narratively it makes sense for Lois to eventually reclaim her surname publicly, and as Sam Lane becomes more villainous, she would grow to resent his name and what it represents. I just don't know when that would be! Since it'd be a big decision that affects her reputation. Lois' family would use the Liando surname in private, but especially after Ella marries Sam Lane, they don't use the surname anymore.

not a swiftie but damn "the tortured poets department" is such a kickass name

he fucks soooooooo hard for us
