Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia.
Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

1/3 If #Advent can invite deeper spiritual practice, perhaps it can femmifest #Hope #Peace #Joy #Love within us. Hope in a world that is rapidly melting and fracturing requires discipline. Hope might be an internal vision that is required for kindom [sic], the beloved community, & a free Palestine.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Hope, or stagnant optimism?
Joy or cover for real feelings of grief and loss?
(Conditional) Love.
And Peace? Are we just keeping the peace, or really willing to make peace?

Why Palestine Matters So Much to Queer People
Palestinian identity can “upend the whole world order, if done right, if spun right, if we activate it enough. And I think queerness is a very similar kind of identity.”

My exposure to the #keffiyeh for decades was primarily thru mass media. Images of endless conflict, men with guns in headscarves. But it is also a symbol of #hope and #solidarity for #Palestine. An ancient textile worn by farmers. Art connected to land: fishnets, olive leaves, trails.
