i don't think people really understand what's happening in gaza. with each passing day that sees more and more palestinians dead, it's becoming easier and easier for those in the west to perceive them as nothing more than a statistic. they might engage w the occasional palestine post, sure, but it's just as easy to scroll right past that moments later w no real outrage for the genocide retained.
it's vital to stay reminded that palestinians who are with us today won't be with us tomorrow. it's happening every second of every minute of every hour, and it's relentless. somewhere in gaza a little girl is losing her mother, a little boy is watching his siblings bleed to death, elderly people are infirm with starvation and illness, palestinian women and girls are being sexually assaulted and kept in cages, fathers are leaving tents to find food for their families and not coming back. this is all happening right now, and it's a direct result of the west's complacency. it's a direct result of their not seeing arabs as people worth saving.
it might be hard to compute as a westerner, but this is real. don't let your privilege blind you to your humanity.

i love annabelle cane so much the “step into my parlor” moment is so interesting bc its like. its cute its funny its humanizing… and knowing who she is its 100% a calculated move specifically to make you like her. the fact that it works. the whole “i’m trying to be honest and explain everything, be patient this goes against my nature” is SO disarming. and we will never know how much of her was still her! martin says “jon’s going to kill you for this” and shes just like “whatever as long as he listens to me first”. how much of her as a person is left to say that? she smashes the camera and becomes the big scary spider who stole martin away not because she thinks that matters but because its an effective way to manipulate jon. and we just never fucking know what her inner life was actually like. insane.
