I have a theory that I have aβ¦ curse? where all things are equally scary to me. Itβs a low level of fear, which is fantastic when it comes to legitimately crazy stuff because Iβm just not that bothered. However, the flipside is that stuff like βtextsβ are as scary to me as being hunted for sport

None of us are free until Palestine is free and a ceasefire is not freedom.
biden could have brought about a ceasefire, stopping the massacre of palestinians and seeing hostages released on both sides, at any point in the past year. he didn't because he didn't want to, and it's only happening now because he's leaving

The United States supplied the weapons and Israel used them.
Never forget.
