It is raining here, so hard, that the phrase “cats and dogs” doesn’t sound hyperbolic in the slightest. The sky has opened up, and all the water in the heavens is coming down upon us. A deluge.

Today I’m crying out for help😭 It's time for my prenatal check-up, but I still haven't been able to see my doctor💔 Transportation has become extremely expensive because fuel is unavailable😩 I beg u without your help, we can’t survive!! If you can’t donate please share🙏 https://gofund.me/9fcf02adf

The Arab League of Misfits has been revealed! A game that brings together characters inspired by Arab culture, history, folklore, and even memes and phenomena prevalent in our societies, offering a roster of fighters unlike any other card game.

Gaza is erasing us. I’m a volunteer nurse saving the wounded & injured on the brink of death, but I’m losing my family to starvation. My brother Abood suffers from severe epilepsy & fatal seizures, suffocating without medication. Please donate to save us! I beg you help🤲 chuffed.org/project/1844...

As someone with Arab parents, who grew up hearing shami dialect, learning English, being made to think Fus’ha was hard—but elevated, so “better and proper”—and who is now learning to read and write in Arabic, this sounds absolutely fascinating…

During our April Roundtable on TMR 58 - Mother Tongue, TMR Fiction Editor Saleem Haddad reflects on living between dialect and modern standard Arabic. Missed the conversation? You can now catch the full replay on our YouTube channel, link in bio. #TMR58 #MotherTongue #SaleemHaddad #Roundtable

Posting this link for my friend Fares: he is 23, and the sole support for his family in Gaza, including several children. A total of 13 people. Please friends, if you can offer a donation, it would be most appreciated. spot.fund/zjw3kf1sc

My entire kingdom for someone to talk with.

This was the fucking BEST of us. When people knew how to write a letter, a postcard. A phone call meant a lot when your family lived abroad. A newspaper kept a city and its people together. There is nothing that replaces these. I would give up the phone in my hand to go back to that.

This happens in every country. Domestic violence calls increase by ~36% (if they lose) or ~25% (if they WIN), about 10 hours after a match. Women should know that they are in greater danger during the FIFA World Cup. by @monaeltahawy.bsky.social www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-when...

ach. She is just so wonderful.

"We live in an anti-relational, vulnerability-despising culture. One that not only fails to nurture the skills of connection, but actively fears them. We are all victimized by the violence of disassociation and disconnection." - bell hooks, All About Love

If New York City ran its school system like Amazon some of the diplomas would be delivered to the wrong porch, the students would be classified as independent contractors, and the school tax would keep changing every minute.

He was militarily occupying my country when he was killed which is 100% within the right of any Lebanese under international law. It is, by definition, self-defence. Get the f- out of my country (And do y’all know what Israel does to ‘military’ dogs?)

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel. Now no one dares.

Israel does not have the "right" to be a Jewish state at the exclusion of all the non-Jews it controls the daily lives of. This is objectively true. All these people are coping that Mamdani has found a clever way of saying so which inverts the question.

Friends, I feel that your interest in Gaza may have waned. Perhaps there has been some improvement regarding food, but 80% of Gaza has been destroyed; it remains under siege, and the bombing continues daily. Do not forget Gaza.

Although I need injections for my injured shoulder, suffer from a heart valve prolapse,&have 5 kids who are suffering from hunger, my husband was injured in the war,&his wounds have become severely infected after surgery.Urgent $250 for his treatment before it is too late chuffed.org/project/1839...

“An excellent, unflinchingly honest account of what every Arab knows: America's policies and dominance in the Middle East have provoked untold disasters based on a deep-rooted culture of racism and colonialism. The world needs this book now more than ever." Fida Jiryis www.amazon.com/Americas-Mid...

"They are doing everything to make sure more Palestinians are killed" - Bisan Owda - #Gaza

Oliver Kornetzke. That’s the way it is.

Om jameel:Isn't it painful that my kids call out to you in exhausted voices,their voices hoarse,raising their hands in prayer for anyone who can save their father from his war injuries&their mom from her heart valve prolapse,pleading with you for $200 to save their father chuffed.org/project/1839...

Every day, Hammam risks everything as a volunteer humanitarian nurse in Gaza. Today, he’s the one who needs saving. Homeless and without basics, his heartbreak is watching his brother Abood face severe epileptic seizures alone. Don’t leave them alone Please donate & share chuffed.org/project/1844...

Guess genocide was never a red line for you, eh? Taking money from racists so they can keep slaughtering Palestinian babies is A-OK with AOC.

Comrades: this is what a happy warrior looks like. Fight hate with joy! No one can beat you if you’re having fun.

🚨🇵🇱 The @hindrajabfoundation.be filed a request for prosecution with the U.S. Dept of Justice (DOJ) against Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir for war crimes—incl. against U.S. nationals—genocide, and direct incitement to genocide, ahead of his expected visit to New York on 7–8 July.

All I can think when I read this is: How much did they pay you to shut up and go along, Van? You make it sound as if politics is only about who’s in power, not caring for the people who vote. It’s like you think Luigi Mangione was an isolated incident, not a sign of a much larger, looming issue.

I’m sorry: this kind of post just annoys the fuck out of me. Ignore the 75 plus years of ethnic cleansing and apartheid that preceded Oct 7 as if it never existed. FFS. MY FATHER IS A NAKBA SURVIVOR. Born in PALESTINE. Israel has always been a European antisemitic project.

That’s…not how that happened.This is why I have to patiently explain to my students every year that it’s not weird that medieval Christian art portrays Greek and Roman myth.

Last year when a former deputy chief of the Israeli Defense Forces protested that Israeli soldiers now were being allowed to "kill babies as a pastime", he caved to demands he apologize and retract his words for supposedly slandering the IDF.

My name is Saed, and I'm simply asking for your support so I can secure food, medicine, and safety for my family amidst the horrific conditions we're living in and the genocide we're facing. If you still care about us, please help us through the Chuffed platform. 🍉🕊 chuffed.org/project/1876...

Really everthing is very complex in gaza with seige and there is very crazy things here dears it's really very easy but when we all do it if we have 250 supporter and every month donate with 25$ we will be okay here anyone can be one of my supportes just meassge me it's just 25 means the world

I’m frankly tired of people finding it offensive to compare the IDF to the Nazis. Spend 5 minutes reading what they have done and are still doing to children. Their inhumanity to children is absolutely comparable to Nazis. www.instagram.com/reel/DZ9vk4J... www.instagram.com/reel/DaBrntO...

Om jamel:We are suffering greatly. My husband urgently needs $200 for medicine to treat his infected wounds.My kids&I are struggling in the unbearable heat of a tent after donations stopped.I am also suffering from a serious heart valve condition Don't leave him in danger chuffed.org/project/1839...

People who think this: Do you really think the rest of the world refers to other countries by their autonyms? That non-English speaking countries use the words "England" or "United Kingdom"? Or are you suggesting they're all uncivilised for it but that you expect this country to rise above the norm?

I cannot sufficiently emphasize on fascinating this conversation about Egypt and football is. Nihal El Aasar is amazing and football really does explain Egypt.
