Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.

decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years

UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire

US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire

Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests

Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine

Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza

The concept of soul mates is a very interesting idea to think about. Recently I had the thought about a fantasy soul mate system. If in a world, instead of one innate partner already chosen from birth, a soul mate exists for you dependent on your ever evolving soul. As a teenager your soul mate might be your best friend as you have the most compatible souls.

However, as your soul has large changes or evolutions, your soul mate would also change. Sometimes you might not have a soul mate because you are not ready to have another or no one fits you as well as you fit you in that moment.

And I think that's beatiful.

So instead, poison them.

Hating is taking poison and waiting for someone else to die... that will only hurt me... not the person I hate.

THIS JUST HAPPENED

(around 7.25pm, Nov 23, Palestine time)

please please PLEASE do not stop speaking just because of a temporary ceasefire. please. some of you will have holidays but please take a few minutes out of your day to voice out. and if you can, perhaps do not celebrate and instead protest and keep emailing reps and posting about a complete ceasefire. please.

while some of us will be breathing a sigh of relief over the temporary ceasefire, people will STILL be dying. people ARE still dying. up until the very last minute. they’ve intensified their attacked. there is no “pause” for them.

please. your festivals come every year but these people… these children… once they’re gone, they’re gone. there will be no next year for them.

please keep speaking up. we’re not done yet. please.

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP

m’not sure about donations still because the ceasefire doesn’t mean money will get to gaza right away BUT!!! care for gaza, the e-sims, hirbawi, and palaction are all donations you can make even with a blockade.

other than that, please sign all the petitions, join the campaigns and contact your reps using the various options provided. AND PLEASE remember to boycott companies listed by BDS

When you remember that Europeans would occasionally eat Egyptian mummy's as sort of a healing elixir.

Then you read a little bit more about it and find out they weren't just eating preserved human bodies (beyond just Egyptian mummys), but also used other forms of "medical cannibalism".

Example being the use of gladiators' blood or human fat in some home remedies.
