they say ‘i love you’ but hozier said:
i. ‘when i first saw you, the end was soon; to bethlehem it slouched, and then it must've caught a good look at you’
ii. ‘if i was born as a blackthorn tree, i'd wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies’
iii. ‘and though i burn, how could i fall when i am lifted by every word you say to me?’
iv. ‘i'd walk so far just to take the injury of finally knowing you’
v. ‘when i look back through it, i remember the view: streetlights in the dark blue; the moment i knew i'd no choice but to love you’
vi. ‘what i had left here, i just held it tight, so someone with your eyes might come in time to hold me like water or christ, hold me like a knife’
i’ve been thinking about innocuous photos like the one on the left. because it is my job to neglect the sprouts of imperialism and racism that accompanied my upbringing, i've been attempting to find solidarity even in the innocuous. and how easily it comes: marah and i, both schoolgirls who like cute things, both compelled by the desire to photograph our supplies after arranging them to be just-so. the photo on the right is an old one of mine.
if you were to ask yourself:
i think the answer would be “everything.” maybe you’re united by the love you have for your pets, being fans of the same goth rock band, or the fact that, were something of severity to happen to your family, you’d also be online, asking for help in a way your elders might find it hard to wrap their heads around, and making sure people knew they could trust your campaign.
and if this were a message you were sending, i hope that your hope would remain in tact, because people like us, on the other end, would be doing everything they could to help you.

I want to keep a simple memory of me with you if I die in this war. I may not be a professional artist, but I want to give you something that expresses my deep love for you. In many moments, sadness and despair filled my heart and I wished for death a lot, but your support and embrace of me was a beacon of hope for me. Israel killed a person I loved and adored and built my future with, but it compensated me with you (I am not exaggerating or flattering you), but you are a family to me. You may not consider me as such, but I consider you family and friends to me. If I die in this war, know that you have made me very happy with your support. Goodbye my friends. You are the most beautiful thing I have gotten in this war. This is the fundraiser I created to save my family. If you want to support me, donate to me and my family. I love you all.

before you stab someone: THINK!
how can you make it Tender?
how can you make it Homoerotic?
how can you make it Implicitly intimate?
how can you make it Noticeably a metaphor for sex?
how can you make it Kind of gay?
hi reminder that there's a strike from 11 aug until the 18th! please use this time to spread information on palestine
my brain is a whimsical and odd place. it’s like one of those slowly turning things with hotdogs in it that you’d see in a gas station - when one of the hotdogs falls off and plummets into the heat below and starts burnin up - that’s the equivalent of me getting a thought lmao

a post for marah (@/freepaleatine95)
before the genocide marah was a university student studying computer engineering, but the chance to complete those studies were stolen from her. her brother, mahmoud, lost his shop and source of livelihood. her parents both have diabetes, her father also has high blood pressure, and they are unable to receive the care they need. there's also the issues of the ongoing famine, the lack of access to basic necessities, the continued closure of crossings, and having to deal with the rain and subsequent flooding.
as of the making of this post (10/25/24) the fundraiser is at $37,410 / $50,000. if you could extend a little bit of kindness by donating any amount to her campaign it'd ease their suffering and get the family closer to their goal of evacuating.
additional note from marah: Sending money from the donation campaign to Gaza requires a commission that provides money in the banks, which requires intensifying the effort. The commission is up to 25% of the amount sent to us.
