Dude what the fuck even is this shit? You ever open a kids' book and there's like a disclaimer about 9/11? These people are such fucking babies. They don't care about anything anymore, all they want is to throw a big fit about how no one likes that they're still murdering people

Two instruments that should never meet but when they do, you get this.
The kora is 300 years old. 21 strings made from a calabash and cow skin, from West Africa.
The cello is 500 years old. 4 strings, from 16th century Europe.
Different worlds with different histories but they speak the same language.

Pay attention to how someone reacts when you stop being useful to them.
When you have nothing to offer, no favors to do, no money to lend, and no connections to provide.
Sometimes, losing what you can do for people reveals who actually values who you are.

At this moment, Israel is detonating tons of explosives in Gaza. The sounds are absolutely terrifying, and our children are terrified

“insults at me that didnt align with the person i am.” That’s the problem with men, they think their perception of who they are is infallible. As long as they think they’re good people, then they are.

This is Palestine. The warmth of a shared breakfast. The strength of community. A love for one another that extends far beyond blood.
Give to Gaza: linktr.ee/thesameerproject?u…
This is what the occupation wants to destroy. Not just homes and streets, but the bonds that hold our people together. The traditions passed down through generations. The sense of belonging that no amount of displacement can erase.
But Palestinians will never surrender the love, humanity, and community that make Palestine what it is.
And as The Sameer Project - Palestinians in the diaspora facilitating the assistance Palestinians can give to one another in Gaza, we ask you to stand with us. Help us preserve and protect what the occupation wants to wipe out, what they will never succeed in erasing. Ever.

World Central Kitchen in Gaza abruptly terminated the contracts of 250 chefs without any prior notice.
Half of the kitchens providing food to displaced people have been closed, and the number of meals being served has been significantly reduced in recent weeks.
We don’t understand what is happening, or how this aid can be cut back when thousands of people in Gaza still depend on it to survive. What will happen to these people now?

“I was once sitting in the courtyard, beneath the green olive tree beside the laurel…”
Support Gaza now: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…
A song that generations grew up with, and an image that feels instantly familiar to Palestinians: the courtyard, a mother baking, a father watering the trees, and an olive tree standing at the heart of the home almost like another member of the family.
In Palestine, the olive tree is older than many of the stories we tell today. Its roots have held this land for thousands of years, and across generations it has remained part of our homes, our seasons, our food, and our understanding of belonging.
So when girls in Gaza plant an olive tree with their own hands, it is more than placing a sapling in the soil.
It is the continuation of an old story.
We plant because this land is ours.
We plant because we know it, and it knows us. We plant because a child who grows up beside an olive tree grows up knowing that their roots run deeper than everything this land has endured.
And as the song says: no matter how much time passes, we will never give up the land of the free.
Today, another olive tree is planted in Gaza. And with it, another promise: that the land will remain alive, and that those who love it will always find a way to begin again.
