Aysenur Ezgi Eygi should be alive today. Instead, she was shot in the head and killed by the IDF while protesting Israel’s illegal occupation of the West Bank. She was an American citizen. There must be accountability and a thorough, independent investigation.

Palestinians are describing the Mawasi camp massacre as “one of the most horrendous” since Israelis launched their genocidal war on Gaza. Some 20 tents completely disappeared. Given that this camp shelters around 1 million forcibly displaced Palestinians, the tents are PACKED.

An entire tent camp disappeared. Khan Yunis massacre, 10th September.

So many chilling pieces of evidence. This is one of the most.

One thing emerging writers need to remember is that writers whose works are published get as many passes as they did before! We’re all in the same rejection soup. It gets easier to accept your worth after selling but it doesn’t CHANGE anything. Learn to love your work NOW ♥️
