Welcome back 💜

also wait since we're all here we should all donate to this gofundme. it's for 20 people, mostly kids, in gaza for necessary supplies and to eventually leave if they hit their goal. even if the goal isn't reached it's still useful for food etc. good place to donate!!

it is my birthday today. as a gift to me, tell someone you know about palestine, but don’t just tell them about our death. tell them about our life, the way we crowd around to flip the maqlooba, the insistence that someone else eats first, the tatreez we’ve woven into the fabric of our history, tell them about the soap from nablus, the oranges from yafa, the olive oil. tell them about our poetry, our art, our folksongs. tell them that we were, and still are, human beings who bore witness to the worst parts of humanity but searched for compassion anyway.

when james baldwin said, “all of us know whether or not we are able to admit it that mirrors can only lie, that death by drowning is all that awaits one there. it is for this reason that love is so desperately sought and so cunningly avoided. love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. i use the word ‘love’ here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace – not in the infantile american sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”
