¹: I turned up 8/15/2023! I was around in the background of headspace for a while but nobody was sure who I was until I pushed to front.
² Ran has been hiding in-system for a while (we’re not entirely sure how long), but only actually fronted for the first time on 9/9/23
*: Kerys didn’t have a surname, so it asked its husband Haskell for his. This caused Haskell to briefly bluescreen, it was cute as fuck.
**: Fuck yeah! That’s me, I’m not new but the realization that I’m my own damn person is.
***: Aidel is a fictive but felt anxious about using the name she had in her source media since this body is of European/Mediterranean Jewish ancestry and she’s from an anime/manga/LN franchise. She showed up completely unexpectedly on December 2, 2022.
“NOW LIVE: Prints for Palestine has launched! PRINTSFORPALESTINE.COM Prints for Palestine is an online art auction organized to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians, an organization directly supporting Palestinian healthcare workers on the ground.”
Because at the end of the day it was never just about trans people. Bigots have a problem with any person not adhering totheir limited scope of how people work. They want everyone to stoop down to their rigid, ignorant worldview and they will say/do any heinous thing to anyone, cis or trans, to make that happen.
this isn’t the first time itch.io has had a bundle supporting palestine, and i really hope the current one can reach numbers like this. pleaseee consider purchasing!!!!
@Marxozoic: We Palestinians haven’t lost hope, and you shouldn’t either.
@Marxozoic: Yes, it’s tough. It’s the moment where “the heart has reached the throat” as we say in Arabic. But remember that it was always going to be like this, and that the Resistance is ready.
Tatreez embroidery! This is an endangered craft but there are a few organizations working to preserve it. I really like https://tirazain.com/archive which is preserving motifs and turning them into easy-to-use cross stitch charts in an organized online library.
Ok I’ve decided to make some basic resources for anti-Zionist Jews who feel really alone and want to connect with each other or with our culture or history.
Treyf Podcast [Montreal, Quebec, Canada] (sadly defunct but you can listen to their older, archived podcasts which include some great interviews)
Edit: I think it’s also worth adding The Electronic Intifada. It’s not explicitly Jewish, but it often features interviews with and opinion pieces by anti-Zionist Jews while primarily being an outlet for Palestinians themselves.
while some of these do not describe themselves as anti-zionist, I think it can nevertheless be a good start to meeting like-minded people and building explicitly anti-zionist alliances
palestinians refuse to lose hope, and you need to do the same. it is very difficult to not spiral into despair when it feels like all you can do is watch this unfold on social media but you can’t let that happen. you cannot let yourself become numb and exhausted and indifferent. stay furious and stay devastated. hold onto your grief and let it give you the power to keep pushing. to keep protesting, boycotting, calling your state representatives and congress members if you live in the us - you have to stay emotional. israel and the us want to bully you into numbness and despair because that’s the key to getting away with this. either get your citizens to accept your propaganda as gospel truth or make them give up the fight.
apathy and doom-spirals only aid in israel and the us’s genocide of palestine. you have to keep hoping and you have to keep believing that yes if you try hard enough you can contribute to making a difference. don’t look away, and don’t give up either, okay? 🇵🇸💗
if you live in the us and have literally 2 minutes to spare go fill out the form here – it will give you a script and also prompt a phone call that will patch you through the the office of your district’s representative. specify that you will not consider voting for them again, or for any elected officials, if they don’t call for an immediate ceasefire and end to us funding of genocide. jewish voice for peace has a lot of other action items, most of which can be done from home if you aren’t able to attend a protest.
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.
