at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.
I know I sound like a broken record by now: repeating the same things others have said before but I think banality of it all is the point of my post. The fact that I have nothing new to say– not about the genocide in Gaza, not about the dwindling attention of allies, is HORRIFYING.
It has been 11 months of a genocide that the UN calls “war on children”. Malnutrition, diseases, lack of suitable medical care have caused Gazan children to lose their childhood; to lose their lives entirely!
There is no hope left for a future unmarked of pain and my friend Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024 ) , who is father to three sons describes it as a “feeling of oppression”. He laments that his children have been forced away from their schools, hopes and dreams by colonizers and where before there were ambitions to excel in either studies or sports, all they know now is helplessness, fear and anger.
Siraj has told me how his children- Abed, Muhammad and Amir have confessed to their father about how they have begun to feel guilty for surviving at all now ; after having lost so many of their friends to the genocide they are experiencing survivor's guilt and it breaks my heart to hear that. Abed, the eldest son, is ONLY ELEVEN!! Can you imagine an eleven year old feeling guilty because he has managed to survive while his friends haven't ? And what kind of survival it is– Half starving, drinking unclean water, forced into tents where sand mites pester him throughout the day?
I am not sure what happened or why the engagement with fundraisers has dropped so drastically lately but there is nothing more atrocious, more horrible than apathy when children are suffering. It is so strange that we can quote James Baldwin so easily and yet have failed to understand what he meant when he said,
"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; ...whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality. ”
We have the power that is not afforded to Gazans and therefore it is on us to be attentive no matter how repetitive these posts feel. It is ridiculous and dehumanizing that during a genocide one has to worry about making a post original enough to maintain attention. And yes I know that we won't be able to stop the horrifying banality of Israel’s evil in a day but WE CAN help provide FIVE families that are dependent on this fundraiser with a lifeline during times such as these.
Please we have managed to get this far after struggling for so long, it cannot be that we will fail Siraj when he is so close to the end goal of 82k !!
So DONATE AND BOOST. Find it in yourself to not just reblog but circulate the fundraiser among your colleagues, friends and family. Share it in your whatsapp chats and discord servers. Share it on every other platform that you may have a reach on.
Currently at $72,987 CAD of the short term goal of 75k. We have 2k left to raise by tomorrow.

US continuing to call a Syrian town Northern Israel is just manufacturing consent for the killing of Lebanese people. Like they justified the Palestinians they will continue to justify the killing of everyone else. No one else in the world acknowledges this occupation.
And today they killed 2 children while claiming to target a military commander who was not killed in this attack on Lebanon. And again, extrajudicial killings are illegal under international law.
The Zionist colonial project exists as a disease in the Middle East. The body will always reject that which is foreign. When you want to understand what is Just look to the people not what your government is saying.
The hypocrisy. Bro imagine being 🤚🏻 and calling other people "violent migrants" when that's all your people ever been lol. Canada isn't your home, Canada is home to the first nations and inuit people also Europe being a shithole? Yeah it's been a shithole since y'all mutated centuries ago. Idk what to tell you. Should have listened better to the moors...and Asians...and native Americans... Man I see a common problem with y'all. Y'all just don't listen.
But again you're asking people who are the ones oppressed to give the olive leaf to people who would massacre us and our families if they had a chance. And we know they would because of history. To say WE have to be the ones "to point them in the right direction" is telling us to coddle the people who hate us.
No we do not have to point them "in the right direction." Because they're grown ass adults. As for the first thing, " it's how we got here in the first place." No Y'ALL started by being bigots, is how we got here. Us not laying down and taking y'all abuse isn't our fault. Expecting civility when not perpetrating it to us. Isn't our fault.
Neither did your ancestors... that's a place called Europe. You can easily go back there.
Remember Khaliifah Marcellus Williams! A black Muslim man falsely accused. Remember that he's innocent. Remember that the governor of Missouri, mike Parson who had the opportunity to save this man's life, decided not to. Remember all but three supreme court justices decided his life wasn't worth saving either. Remember his face. Remember his Last words. And remember how fucked up this country is
Rest in peace Marcellus
*starts a fire in the bathroom* whoops 🤫
What do the Jordan Peele fans think of this
Imagine telling people to leave for wanting to better the country? I guess when you're a bigot and the idea that the society that was built for you was threatened you would try to get rid of the people trying to change it.
Ragebait use to be believable
Love how you call people extremist when they call you out for basically saying that minorities should be nice to people who want to kill them. Like listen to yourself? Would you be nice to the thief who is openly stealing from you? Would you be nice to your kidnapper who has a gun pointed to you? No but wy do you expect minorities to be peaceful and respectful to the people who openly hated and murdered us for decades and still are?
So we're all just going to make Subnatica a real thing huh?
It wrinkles my brain that Jupiter’s moon Europa has oceans that are sixty miles deep, while Earth’s oceans only reach seven miles deep at most. I’m willing to bet good money that there’s life in Europa’s oceans. Like five bucks. You hear me, NASA? I bet you five bucks that there’s life on Europa… Now that there’s money and reputation on the line, I bet they send a mission there real quick.
I laugh at this not because you were telling a joke. But because of course it's not "politic" and "race-baiting" white folk. Seeing as it a lot of racial stereotypes towards black people. But what's even more funny in the whole "black-wash" bs. Since you'll know the grandmother in the REAL story was BLACK. but white-washing to y'all ain't a thing right?
The Deliverance (2024)
Considerably better than you'd expect from a 99% black-cast Netflix movie in 2024, this isn't really scary at all as a horror film, but it is decently written and acted, with pretty much no politics or race-baiting and a good bit of world-building and character work, even if the details introduced at the start don't really add up to anything in the end.
The one white character, Glenn Close, as the grandmother of the family in the hood beset by demons, is particularly good, and gets to display her range quite a bit more than you'd expect from a 77 year-old. I can't help but keep staring at how they blackfaced her in the poster to make her look the same colour as everyone else on it.
I guess The Deliverance was aiming to be the black Exorcist, a goal it fails quite badly at, and all the Christian superpowers on display in the ending can't save it from feeling ultimately shallow and inconsequential. But it's still a fairly fresh take on an old tale, done with honest intent, and, as I say, better than you'd expect from anything from Netflix in the current year, so worth a single watch if you're into that sort of thing, even if you'll likely never want to go back to it again.

This is such a dismissive post lol like no the majority of y'all are racist. Just because y'all aren't burning crosses and shouting the n-word at us doesn't make you not racist. But how many of y'all clench your purses when you see a black person walk the same side of the street? How many of y'all get mad at seeing a black person on tv and call it "DEI" and "Wokeism"? How many of y'all defend cops after killing a black person? Also the blindness.
"oh but when a white man shoot up a school-" oh so like what white people still do to black people to this day? What about the famous myth y'all love to us? Oh right 13/50? The single mother stereotype? Welfare queens? But oh no we should total only care about your feelings right?
retardation is when you can’t meaningfully defend the generalizations you make about entire groups of people lmao
Oh but when a single white man shoots up a school, it’s white people this and white people that or when we talk about colonization, it’s white people as a whole lol. White people are constantly blamed for racism even if a majority of us aren’t racist at heart because “we created a racist society and live in it” - even though black people are able to have lives that their ancestors could only DREAM of having. White people are generalized constantly by black people and other poc simply because some of our ancestors were pieces of shit lol.
I'm not shocked op is from NZ; most likely, they're not aboriginal. So, of course, they are going to act like a colonial project is that big of a deal, seeing as their country is also one. "Worry about your own country first" you dumb dog hair female mutt. Our government sends billions to that settler colony ( like your country is) so of course our Palestine is our problem.
And for the Democrats in this reply section. How many more fake promises and hot air up your asses to see. That voting does shit nothing. Lol does the country literally have to be on fire under Democrat rule for y'all to snap out of it? Like y'all are jokes, completely.
Watching america's politics is a horror show but at least the memes are fun.
Gotta say though, a lot of young progressives look like they haven't learned anything since 2016.
"I'm not voting for the democrat, they're not good enough for me!" The communities whose rights are on the line will surely be comforted by your morals.
"What about Palestine?!" - Maybe worry about your own country becoming a fascist state first?
"But Harris was a cop! I heard she did Bad Things!" You heard right-wing bullshit disguised as left-wing bullshit and gobbled it. Self-defeating nonsense.
ETA: I'm from NZ and we recently did this 'teach them a lesson by not voting Labour because they're not good enough' strat and big shocker it didn't work. Everything's worse now.
