Have u heard about the flotillas departing now/soon for palestine
yes!!! i think everyone should learn about the freedom flotilla, which is setting sail for gaza very soon and needs to have eyes and ears on it, as israel has a long history of attacking, raiding and occaisonally killing humanitarian workers on aid ships to gaza, as they did in 2010 with the first freedom flotilla (because that's how long Gaza has been under siege)
here's an interview with journalist and lawyer dylan saba, who is setting sail on it and is a good person to follow to learn more about it:

and this is their website:
remember to follow and check #freedomflotilla on twitter in the coming days.

emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.
Tumblr media
multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.
i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.
please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.

UPDATE: NORTH GAZA DONATION DRIVE, Introducing Mahmoud Abu Salama
This is our team leader in North Gaza, Mahmoud Abu Salama who decided to reveal his identity.
Mahmoud is an artist, professional photographer, and journalist who has been consistently documenting what it’s like on the ground in the North of Gaza for months now. He has been broadcasting the news of horrible situations to many Arab and international news outlets, and on his instagram, which you can view here. Despite many threats to his life as a journalist he has been leading the efforts in finding supplies and distributing them to the hungry.
Our drive has reached around $6000 as of writing this which will roughly buy 12-15 bags of flour. We still have ways to go in making a good impact. So please help Mahmoud to get to our minimum goal of 25000 by the end of the week. Please consider donating today as your donations will literally save the lives of starving families!
You can follow him on Instagram @almajd_free

What to boycott NOW to help stop Israel’s unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza
Reminder that boycotting DOES work, there is historic proof! Don't let anyone discourage you otherwise!
The BDS movement uses the historically successful method of targeted boycotts inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US Civil Rights movement, the Indian anti-colonial struggle, among others worldwide.
We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling such huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”

I had not heard about how well the Hamas prisoners were treated until i saw your post. That's not something mentioned in the news.
Yocheved Lifshitz, the hostage released by Hamas had made a statement that she “went through hell” referring to during the initial October 7th attack. The media took that statement and ran with it and made every headline that she went through hell while in Hamas captivity which once again twisted the narrative of how Hamas treats Israelis. What she actually said about her captivity is that she was treated well, given the same food as Hamas soldiers, received medical care and said she was treated gentley and all of her needs were provided, even things as small as shampoo. A member of Hamas told her that “they are people who believe in the Quran and wouldn’t hurt her.” When she was released, she shook one of her captor’s hands, because she knew she was treated as fairly as possible.
The recent stories of the released of Gazan labourers held captive in Israeli detention facilities is the complete opposite- they were tortured, abused, killed, and deprived of all necessities. They were “branded” with wristbands with a number on them for identification. When some were released, they were forced to walk all the way back to Gaza amidst bombings and attacks. All of their accounts detail days of physical and psychological torture.

One of the most reliable and popular instagram accounts covering what has been going on in Gaza @/sbeih.jpg has started a free online crash course about Palestine history and the decolonisation movement to help educate more people and spread awareness. It is on instagram @/palestine.academy and their website is thepalestineacademy.com. It is completely free and has tons of resources on how to get informed, find further information, and how to help Gaza right now. If you have the time I recommend exploring the website and following their instagram!!!

don't loose hope, there is love in life, there is community. people are coming together to protest all over the world, people are finding solidarity with each other even among the horror, people want to help. over the course of hours i saw hundreds come together from all over the world online to buy e-sim cards for the gaza reporters (they've succeeded in getting internet access to key online press reporters and are working to connect more), i've seen stories of people coming together in their grief and joy. despite the darkness there really is love. and i do believe that it is fundamental to the human condition.
