hi, this is the first time i'm publicly writing about my mother's death & why "i love you" feels like a terrifying confession. this essay is very much a love letter to my online friends & IRL friends to say: i love you.

palestinians getting severe infections from a lack of menstrual products should be a massive feminist/reproductive rights issue right now

اليوم الخميس كان موعد حفل زواج شقيقة زوجتي أسماء عودة (21 عام).. فتاة بريئة رقيقة متفوقة ذات خلق عالٍ ترضى بأقل القليل من العيش، وحياتها كلها بسيطة.. وكانت تستعد للزفاف بشراء بدلة بيضاء واختيار ابتهال وأغنية الزفّة.
كانت تكره الحرب وتعاني خوفًا هيستيريًا من صوت القنابل، آخر ما كتبت في واتساب الساعة 6 صباحا لأختها أنها تشعر باللحظات الأخيرة.
عند اشتداد الضرب جلست مع كل العائلة في زاوية غرفة مظلمة شاحبة اللون من الرعب، وتدعو وتردد حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل.
الساعة 9 صباحًا لفظت النَفَس الأخير بصاروخ وزنه ألف كيلو جرام سحق عظامها الرقيقة لتستشهد مع والدها وأمها وأخيها وزوجة أخيها وخمسة آخرين من أبناء العم.

We can’t breathe: These are not clouds.
Israel is literally gassing Palestinians. These are heavy clouds of gunpowder and possibly white phosphorus.
Unbearable.

Finally I get to use my dental degree to debunk Zionist lies.
First of all, the fuck are archeologists doing at a crime scene?
2ndly, those look like debonded dental bridges in the first picture. If they were knocked out of a person's mouth, they don't come out like that.
