IMPORTANT CONTEXT courtesy of @hapalopus
saw v is objectively the funniest bc imagine if you were gonna kill ur sisters abuser/murderer so you copied the methods of a known serial killer so you wouldnt be suspected but then that serial killer kidnaps you and is all 'dude are you kidding me? that trap was shit. you're shit. people are going to think i built that!? if you're going to copy me at least do it right. fucking blunt ass pendulum? fuck me. come on, let me teach u how to do this properly. this is so fucking embarrassing.' and now ur his apprentice
obsessed with how working with middle schoolers is how they're all soooo cool and everything is sooooo lame but the second you introduce a stuffed animal as a new student who "doesn't know anything about math and wants to learn but is too scared to do it alone" one of them says it's a girl, calls her Baby T, this spreads as fact until everyone is using the same name, and even though Baby T lives in the math classroom they convinced me to take her with us to the park because she is a student
If y’all can’t boycott Starbucks and McDonald’s what use are you really? Because these aren’t places that you NEED (do not bean soup this post I’m so serious) what do you have that’s a NEED from Starbucks?? Exactly.
this is not strictly relevant but a friendly reminder that WHILE starbucks and McD have materially supported israel, BDS has not asked for their boycott (tho you are free to do so, and i am, and probably boycott Disney as well who has given 2mil USD to israel) as these companies are not really instrumental in the occupation of palestine. they HAVE asked for the boycott of:
- HP (hewlett packard)
- Siemens
- AXA
- PUMA
- Israeli produce
- Sabra Hummus (jointly owned by PepsiCo and Strauss group)
- Ahava cosmetics
these companies and products either provide critical infrastructure for the occupation of palestine and/or use occupied land resources in their supply chains and/or are affiliated w the Israeli state and the profits go into Israeli taxes. financially hurting these organisations is more important than attacking McDonald’s for providing free burgers!

Do not fall into despair. Continue calling your local officials, attending protests, boycotting companies that fund open genocide. Because of this media blackout, we are now Palestine’s voice - please do your best for them.

i'm trying to post a long list of informational resources on palestine and tumblr simply will not let me
is there a limit to how many links you can put on one post? it just says there's a "problem"
testing with two more
testing with three more
and the rest:
my intention in posting all these is as follows: i love everyone standing in genuine solidarity with palestine, but some of you are really uninformed and thus your talking points suck shit and you don't know how to respond to the most basic, common lies about palestine and palestinians--sorry for being harsh, but it's true. if you want your advocacy to be better, please actually know the basics of how this whole "situation" functions. the imeu has put together a lot of fact sheets^ that can help you get a basic understanding. note that these are all at least a few years old and not about extremely recent developments, like the current crisis, updated numbers on the population of west bank settlements, etc.
