My name is Hanan Al-Salout, aPalestinian mother and children’s counselor. I write to you today with a heart heavy with indescribable pain and sorrow, due to the loss and destruction my family has faced as a result of the war.💔😢
The relentless violence has taken everything from us our home, our livelihoods, and even the sense of safety we once had. I lost my job, and my husband He lost his job too is fighting with all his strength to keep our family standing amid unbearable suffering. 💔😓
But the greatest pain is seeing my little child, Yaseen, who is not even two years old, live in constant fear. Every day he wakes up to the horrors of war, sheltered by a torn tent that no longer protects us from the cold or the wind. 💔
My elderly mother-in-law is also suffering, as the catastrophic conditions of the war exceed her weak body’s ability to endure, causing her to suffer from anemia and severe weakness, leaving her in a pitiable state!😢💔
Winter storms have destroyed the last bit of shelter we had, leaving us exposed to the harsh elements. We have sold everything we own,
Now all we have left are our prayers and hope that your compassionate hearts will hear our plea.
This war has turned into an extermination of innocent families, children, and dreams. We live each day in fear of becoming another number in the growing list of casualties. 😢
We plead with you to look upon us with mercy. Your support could be the difference between life and death for my family. 🙏🤍
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made
“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”
I have heard from TWO different unrelated sources at this point that if you DO choose to hook up with Hugh Grant, he's good in bed and very polite about it but he DOES want you to piss in his hands so he can splash it on his neck like cologne
i love when the “it is my god given right to remain miserable and take things personally. fuck you for making a post about the importance of drinking water. a bottle of dasani tried to kill me in the fourth grade” crowd and the “you guys are so stupid. you can actually cure every disease on earth with diet and exercise. no i’m not ‘lucky’ to be in ‘good health,’ i just take care of myself :) i have a superiority complex about this by the way” crowd start arguing. it’s a real unstoppable force v. immovable object situation
u will literally see a post like “walnuts are good for you :)” and think “okay,” but the replies will be bloated with nonsense because some guy who is allergic to walnuts is arguing with another guy who is smugly convinced that walnuts can cure arthritis
