If you know me IRL, you know that my circumstances are not ideal right now. I haven’t made a single sale in over 2 months since dedicating most of my time to elevating Palestinian voices over selling my products and services.
On the real, I’m in a state of financial insecurity since being laid off in August; my kids have ever-growing expenses; my partner is juggling all of the things; and frankly — I’m constantly overwhelmed and exhausted by the absolute moral depravity of [most of] the people on the internet.
Capitalism is absolutely winning and the only thing I can say with confidence is that I won’t let it silence me.
Imagine how quickly this might have ended if people brought the same energy they have to fight “haters” of certain white billionaire pop stars to call out the so-called leaders of our government and demand they stop using our tax funds for murder.
If you can’t find it in yourself to fix your face to say or do something - literally ANYTHING - in support of the Palestinian civilians being absolutely decimated by the IOF, then you’re not welcome here.
I’m just making sure it’s known before I move forward because this Barrio’s about to get a whole helluva lot smaller.
White people, put your money where your “little black box in 2020” mouth is.
Black and Brown descendants of the diaspora(s), rest if you need to although I know most of us feel called to action more than ever before.
Find your lane and stay firmly planted in it. The only thing I know is that unless you too are a gen0cidal maniac, your lane definitely isn’t the bystander one.
We’re way, way past being able to accept what’s BEEN happening as a “side effect” of war.
This isn’t a war. There are so many people, despite their own grief and humanity, doing the hard fu***ng work of educating about the ongoing Nakba and ways you can support.
I’m tagging a bunch here so swipe through and follow if you don’t feel like you know enough to engage publicly.
Do something.
Before it’s too late. 🍉🍉
