podcasters: haha im so overworked and never take a break from making my show lol #podcastculture!!! we're going to do nothing to even attempt to change this
it's like legitimately exhausting watching people publicly poke "self-aware" fun at the bad practices they engage in constantly while also apparently having no intention to not be like this
the weird bragginess too of using the framework of self-deprecating jokes to emphasize ~diligence~ and ~dedication~ even at one's own detriment
yall still aren't off the hook for this 💖

I've been wanting to talk about my family history a little on here for a while but it never seemed like the right time. Trudeau's comments this morning really ignited a fire in me, though, so if you're interested you can find a little about that below.

This is Sireen, where my dad's family is from. My aunt is named after it, and I'm named partially after it (ser-een-a). This graveyard is one of the only things left of it. The orange tips on the gravestones are lichens, an organism graveyard of rocks. flowers...
between fungus and algae. When I first saw these photos I thought it was paint, but instead it's proof that life endures.

This is the structure that may have been a mosque, and the well. These structures are all that remain in the village of the people of Sireen. Small rock structure with a...A rectangular well full of ...

sharpie resistance (thread)

this is a a story about rage. rage that's old, but not that old. not as old as they want you to think it is. it starts a long time ago, but for our purposes it starts in roughly 2004, with a seven year old scribbling permanent marker inside an atlas.
i knew this was important but i didn't know yet why. the way my dad explained gaza to me was that it was like someone came into your house where your whole family lived - a reality easy for me to imagine since we shared our home with aunts and uncles - declared it
theirs now, and forced you all to live in a tiny bathroom. i didn't know about electrical panels at the time, but he should've added that they shut off your water and electricity at a whim, and plant bombs in the bathtub where you all sleep.

Like as a Palestinian who has to live in the settler colony of Canada because Israel displaced my family and completely destroyed the villages both sides of my family are from there's a special kind of rage I feel seeing Trudeau talk about these countries being "friends"
When Trudeau's government fights Indigenous residential school survivors in court, presses to build pipelines on indigenous territories, does nothing to stop illegal exclusion zones being marked on indigenous territories, refuses to secure clean water for indigenous communities,
And then turns around and talks about "common priorities" with a state recognized by Human Rights Watch to be an apartheid barely over ONE WEEK after the discovery of a mass grave retraumatized indigenous people across the country, it's clear he has zero interest in doing better

The arrests of Muna and Mohammed El Kurd are completely unacceptable. As two of the most vocal activists in bringing international awareness to #SaveSheikhJarrah, these are political arrests designed to censor Palestinians from speaking out.

#FreeMunaElKurd #FreeMohammedElKurd
The international community must put pressure on Israel to release them. If you care at all about freedom of speech or the rights of marginalized people to protest apartheid this issue should be of huge concern to you.
UPDATE: MUNA EL-KURD HAS BEEN RELEASED, but we still need to push for Israel to #FreeMohammedElKurd. We don't know what's happening with him.
