Remember Kids, Once A Piece Of Media Is Released Into The World Technically Every Headcanon That Isnt

Remember kids, once a piece of media is released into the world technically every headcanon that isn’t directly refuted by the media itself can be and in fact is canon as long as you believe it.

anyways, instead of focusing all your energy on calling out Succession and the Last of Us for being anti-palestinian, here's some of my favourite media made by Palestinians 🇵🇸 and their allies...

Salt of this Sea (2008). Dir. Annemarie Jacir. Heist film set in Palestine about 2 Palestinians who help a Palestinian American woman rob a British bank who refused to give her the money her grandfather left her.

Netflix original series, Mo, created by Mo Amer. Dramedy about Mo, a Palestinian American without papers, trying to stay out of trouble until his US citizenship is approved (he's already been waiting for 12 years). This just got renewed for a second season!!!!

Farha (2021). Dir. Darin J. Sallam. Coming of age story about a 14 year old girl trying to survive the Nakba in 1948. Tw: settler colonial violence.

In Between (2016). Dir. Maysaloun Hamoud. A film about 3 Palestinian women, one of whom is queer, in their 20s living under occupation. Heart-warming story about friendship, solidarity and revenge. Tw: sexual assault.

In Vitro (2019). Dir. Larissa Sansour. Breathtaking short scifi film set in a future where Bethlehem has been destroyed by an ecological disaster and two scientists from different generations are trying to remember what happened. This film is pure poetry and I think about it constantly.

It Must Be Heaven (2019). Dir. Elia Sulieman. A charmingly absurdist film about Elia Sulieman seeing parallels to Palestine everywhere he goes as he tries to make a film about his homeland.

The Crossing (2017). Dir. Ameen Nayfeh. Short film about Palestinian siblings trying to cross an Israeli checkpoint to visit their grandparents.

Ramy. Episode 3 of season 3: 'American Cigarettes'. Far and away the best episode of TV of 2022, and also directed by Annemarie Jacir. Ramy goes to occupied Palestine to make a diamond deal with some Israeli brokers, but his horniness takes him to The Other Side. I think about this episode almost everyday, it's unlike anything I've ever seen.

Freedom Is A Constant Struggle by Angela Davis. A book of interviews and essays conducted by Angela Davis on how systems of racism and colonial violence are all connected, and how solidarity between communities of colour are vital, using the long-standing allyship between Palestinians, Aboriginal peoples and Black Americans as case studies.

As fine and good as it is to call out Zionism in media, rmr to also support Palestinians, their work and their art. Feel free to suggest more ❤️

I might leave it at this until a little further into the year. Here’s 6 so far though

i want top surgery eventually but i have to say being able to just grab a tit is unparalleled

It's been 55 days and 75 years

its crazy the whole angle everyone has been pushing is that this hamas attack against innocent festival goers was so barbaric and evil and the worst attack on jewish life since the holocaust so therefore israel has no option but to defend itself and now we find that israeli helicopters killed people at the festival, hamas didnt know about the festival beforehand, the army let the festival organizers extend it until saturday instead of ending friday (is israeli intelligence really this bad?), idf soldiers indiscriminately fired on kibbutzes and their own idf bases killing israelis in the process, theres been no evidence collected of beheaded babies or rape, a third of the names of the victims released are soldiers or police officers, and the death count is down to 1200 because 200 of the people they claimed were burned alive by hamas were actually hamas fighters burned alive by israel…
