Stephanie Foo, What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Saturday that israel has reduced the so-called “humanitarian zone” in Gaza to just 11% of the territory, causing widespread panic and fear among displaced people.
Around 2 million people crammed together without toilets, electricity, adequate food, medical supplies, medication, running water, and the current spread of hepatitis and polio. Starvation and disease by israel. Gaza is a death camp.
since some white bitches on here have decided they'd much rather give money to this shitty excuse of a website than people who are trying to escape death and genocide like the daft cunts they are can the rest of you please promote siraj's (@siiraj2024) campaign? he's managed to reach his short term goal of $20,000 CAD in time but he has a long term goal set for $82,000 CAD to rebuild his home for him and his family
siraj is a journalist who has been hard at work documenting what daily life is like in gaza on his blog. idk how people on here can look at literal videos of bombs being dropped and claim that people like him are actually bots trying to scam you out of your money but whatever. he and every other palestinian have gone through things that no human being should ever have to and yet he's still found the time and effort to record things for the world to see and reach out to people like me get his story heard and spread.
please donate if you can and share his link! he may have succeeded in getting to $20K by the end of this week like he hoped he would but that doesn't mean the momentum should slow down! he still has $62K left to go!

God, Palestinians can't have anything
I've often seen this person's posts pop up, he's known for the number of cats he feeds, even before this, hence the username. The other day, I remember seeing that pic of him and that tiny little puppy on the beach and being cheered up by it. It's just so sad... they literally can't have anything.
If anyone wants to help this man, he has links for both an evacuation gofundme and PayPal to help feed the cats:
why the net, kaz?
"What if my friends secretly hate me?" What if they pray for you before bed? What if they hear a song come on and it makes them immediately think of you? What if when times are hard for them, they close their eyes and think of the memories they've shared with you? What if they study your face closely to see how you're feeling? What if they listen to your stories? What if they smile when you text them first? What if
not to sound corny but the textile arts make me feel connected to the world around me. it's so intentional and deliberate and when i sit and do it, i think a lot about how many other women that came before me used to do it, how many hands have used the same supplies i am using, and how many other people might be doing the same thing as me all across the world right now
TAKE A GLIMPSE INTO YOUR FUTURE. ENVISION A VERSION OF YOURSELF THAT FEELS WHOLE, LOVED, SAFE, NURTURED, AND FREE:
write morning & night routines this self takes part in.
how do they honor their joy?
who do they surround themselves with?
what do they do when they’re experiencing difficult feelings?
how do they speak to themselves? how do they speak to others?
how do they handle conflict?
write a list of ways that they care for their mind & body.
do they have a spiritual practice? how do they honor it?
do they have boundaries in place? if so, what?
do they embrace vulnerability? in what ways?
what do they do in their free time?
where do they place the most meaning in their life?
how do they bring in security and abundance?
