A little girl died from hunger in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, despite being in the area where aid trucks are distributed. Another family in the north in Gaza city was forced to eat a donkey, which for many in Palestine is inconceivable culturally. Bisan says there isn’t even water (clean OR dirty) for them to drink or wash with.

will never forget the parents who lost all 8 of their kids saying “they slept hungry, we were trying to get them a piece of bread but they were killed”

we are witnessing a population run out of food. WFP said a few days ago that half of the population are starving, nine out of 10 are not eating every day.

keep in mind that not having enough food, even when you’re not literally starving to death, makes your body heal slower so all these people (who have all sorts of wounds from the bombing and everything else) are all physically healing much more slowly than they would be if they had any food to eat. it also causes you to have difficulty regulating body temperature which means that these people (who had to leave their homes with no winter clothes to speak of) are much more susceptible to the cold than they would be if they just had food.

the current problems every gazan is facing right now all exacerbate each other.

Just found out I was thirsty not by receiving a signal from my body about it but by dozing off and dreaming about cold water from different alluring angles. This is great. I think all my wants and needs should be revealed to me this way

value speriments for comics !

control image (no values): we’ve got two foreground characters and one background character. basic

foreground shadows, varying levels of drama: feels like we are Bullying the background character in some way. talking about them, Laughing at them

blacked out foreground: maximum drama. dream sequence-y? nightmare? who knows. feels a bit more unreal than the others

background shadows: a bit ominous… what are we planning… feels like jealousy or envy… the Creature is watching…

thank you for coming to my ted talk

I wish I could make cats understand the concept of fairness. Of hypocrisy. I wish next time Beatrice was eating I could stick my hand in her bowl and dig around and say “see? Not very nice is it?” And she would say “I understand now father you’re right”. But instead? Big fat paw in my soup

here’s to a liberated palestine and an end to the occupation in 2024، إن شاء الله

“Israel murdered a bunch of helpless civilians today, but don’t worry. They managed to destroy a Hamas leader’s apartment in the process.”

Absolutely sickening how the mainstream media is normalizing a literal genocide.
