platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine
edit: @saffronlesbian made a video description for this post!!
[vd: a screen recording of a tweet from the 20th of April 2024 with 2.5 million views, from Ruhi @/ruhi_hi. the caption reads, "This video of this little Palestinian angel celebrating his bday in a refugee camp" followed by three emoji of a smiling face with teary eyes. the video clip is 11 seconds long and shows a one-year-old baby seated on the sandy ground, smiling hugely and clapping his hands while people sing to him from offscreen and a large cake is placed in front of him. stuck into the top of the cake is a decoration that reads "happy birthday" in english. the video has the tiktok handle @/ibrahim.jamal99 visible in it. /end vd.]
[If anyone who follows me is interested in funny cat adopts, I’ve decided to dip back into making adopts again- and all proceeds from it are going to this fundraiser. They’re 5 or more on ko-fi :o) and the initial post on TH has a tos. Smiles so sweetly at you and holds out eight animals]
"No sugarcoating the Palestinian cause to make it palatable for Westerners. We don’t want peace—we want freedom. We don’t want to live side-by-side, we want the settlers to leave our land. There’s no conversation to be had. The demand is clear—we want to return to our home. We don’t negotiate with terror!sts. Long live the Palestinian revolution. ✌🏼🔻🇵🇸"
i can’t stop thinking about how annabeth e-mailed percy the photo of her at dc but this doofus decided to print it and put it in his notebook to stare at her whenever he could. talk about dedication
Nelson Mandela was in USA's terror watchlist until *2008. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn't actually take murica's opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they're actually fighting for the freedom of their country.
That's why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.

I think what truly hurts me personally is actually the scene at the cliffs.
"I am not taking you to Hell, angel"
"Why not?"
"Well I don't think you'd like it"
Meanwhile Aziraphael says "Come with me"
And that for me sums up a lot of the relationship.
Where Crowley is always thinking about what Aziraphael's likes and dislikes, while Aziraphael believes he does. Aziraphael pushes Crowley to do what is "right" while Crowley pushes Aziraphael to what Azirphael wiil enjoy.
metal sonic reminds me of those pictures of extremely pissed off tiny kittens. small and full of rage and just wants affection but WILL swipe and hiss at anyone who tries to give it to him
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time to every time someone told me I’d change my mind on marriage, or kids …
That I fucking never did and I’m HAPPY like this.
You don’t need to “come around” to the idea of marriage or suddenly decide you want kids. You’re not broken. You’re not failing to meet some metric of adulthood.
If I’m with my partner(s) unmarried, living together and being a family of just adults and loads of pets till the day we die, that’s a life well lived. I don’t need the state involved in my relationships. My “biological clock” isn’t ticking.
Fuck, I wish at least one person would have NOT told me, “You’ll change your mind someday!” or, “I know you don’t like babies, but it’ll be different when they’re yours!” or, “You’re just a late bloomer!”
I wish they would have told me that I was valid and complete and allowed to define my own happiness. I wish they would have RESPECTED my own happiness.
