Brian Cox reads If I Must Die, by beloved Palestinian poet, teacher and martyr Refaat Alareer. Refaat was killed on December 7th by an Israeli airstrike. This was the last poem he published.

If you are feeling sad and hopeless that is completely understandable, but it's also a luxury we can't afford right now. Here's a list of some great organisations helping on the ground, just as a handy guide:

(on the verge of having a complete psychotic break) i need to make some kind of a list or perhaps sort things into categories

oh bitch it’s happening

and it’s a weird one!! many thanks to Aaron Burch and formal apologies to the late great Laura Gilpin. I love the two-headed calf

If you are desperate for something to do right now in support of Palestine, remember this list of vetted crowdfunds to help Palestinians escape the violence of genocide. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Paid subs for Palestine are now open, and will be for the next couple of weeks. send us writing on Palestine, resistance, life in the colonial machine, or just the better future you refuse to stop believing in. proceeds go to esims for gaza. duotrope.com/duosuma/submit…

This was seven months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 10,763 kids since.

I am ready to start protesting President Kamala Harris on January 20, 2025, but for the next few months, I’m coconut pilled x 1000. We have 100 days and change to stop an authoritarian right-wing demagogue hell bent on a pro-death agenda.

Applauding the butcher of 16,000 children.

disgusting to still see american media obfuscating israel's violence through a disingenuous frame. "israel vs. hamas" and now "israel vs. hezbollah," renders all palestinians and now lebanese people as militants and therefore deserving of that violence.
