A Litany for Survival: the Life and Work of Audre Lorde (1995)

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has dropped 18,000 tons of bombs on the Gaza Strip. This is roughly twice the explosive force of the bomb used in World War II to destroy Hiroshima, Japan. Over 32,000 individuals have been injured, and at least 9,061 Palestinians have been killed; men, women, and children who are innocent. We cannot stay silent because these are actual numbers and actual people who, despite 75 years of resistance to injustice, are still being violently removed from their homes, subjected to ethnic cleansing, and colonized.

Continue talking about it.

At the South African capital, Cape Town, massive amounts of crowds march for Palestine!

Never really spoke about world issues on here before but I think it’s time I did.

If you’re actively supporting Israel, block me. Don’t interact with me. Don’t support me. Don’t speak to me.

This didn’t start on October 7th. It started in 1948 when the first Arab-Palestinians were displaced. I’ll state now that I in no way support any terrorist groups like Hamas, I stand only for the people in Palestine who are suffering everyday.

The body count so far is in the thousands. People are dying and families from outside Palestine don’t know if their family members are alive or dead. But that does not mean we get to be silent and stand aside whilst they suffer. Mourn the dead but keep fighting for those that are living.

Israel is actively ignoring UN regulations and actively ignoring international laws in this genocide. They’re killing innocent people and committing several war crimes. They’re levelling Gaza, they’re cutting the people off from any outside intervention and they’re stopping the people from helping themselves. It’s not a war if the people the country is fighting can’t even defend themselves, it’s murder. It’s genocide. And for some outlandish reason it’s been given a blind eye by so many world leaders.

If you’re silent or neutral, you are still doing damage and the people of Palestine deserve better than that. They don’t deserve to suffer. They deserve to know the world cares and is fighting for them. They are people. This isn’t a religious issue, it’s a humanitarian one. They’re human just like me and you and they deserve to have someone in their corner to fight for them.

Would like to reiterate, if you DONT stand with Palestine in this please do not interact with me or anything on my account. I do not want your support.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

I will be sharing and re blogging posts that shed light on this situation to spread awareness and to help educate on the importance of supporting them. If you don’t want to see that, block me.

How to take care of YOUR mental health!

Mental health affects many things in our lives, it affects how we think, feel, and act especially.

Self care is a huge part of our mental health and how it can better our mental health slowly, so my tigers and doves, here are my self care tips!

Regular exercise: now, I know not everyone is an exercise person but even the smallest stuff like walks can generally improve our mental health!

Stick to a sleeping schedule: I understand, wanting to stay up late on weekends is pretty fun! You want to dance around all weekend or just talk to your friends online, but making sure you have proper sleep can actually generally improve your mental health!

Practice self acceptance: To properly take care of our mental health, we need to recognize we have those inner critics and unfortunately they can get out of hand but it's important to remember your a human being and build self compassion!

Journaling/Writing: As “childish” as this may seem, journaling has shown to actually help out your mental health! It's good to get out our feelings to a journal if we're not ready to talk to someone we trust or we struggle with our words in person, it's good to get it all out in a journal, a place where we can feel safe emotionally.

I definitely have more tips but these are the main ones I have! I hope these might help somebody!

This picture has been circulating all over social media and I have more to add:

Delete all period cycle tracking apps off your phone today.

Do not tell anyone why you want to take your trip, especially over text/apps.

Do not tell anyone the real state/destination of your trip.

Have everyone on your trip turn off their phones. Use written directions or a burner phone. Do not use burner phone to open any personal apps. Dispose of after trip.

Only use cash while purchasing ANYTHING on your trip.

Take “vacation” photos to post later. Be cautious of geo-tags/only post screenshots of the original photos.

Some people might say this is being extra or overly precautious, but this really is the reality we are facing. People have been imprisoned with murder charges in certain states- some for literal miscarriages. If you are a person that ends up in this situation, the state can and will use your data against you as evidence in court. Do not leave a paper trail. If they want to treat us like criminals, we’re gonna move like criminals.
