here's a list of brands to boycott if you support a FREE PALESTINE 🍉

some are low impact, some are high impact, and some are definitely easier to boycott than others. if you're just starting to figure this boycott stuff out, start slow and give yourself grace 💜

"60K Gazans have been killed," in both number and passive voice, might as well be genocide denial at this point. I don't think that's edgy to say. It's way more than that number and we straightforwardly know who's doing it

There is no food in Gaza. Please share this and bear witness is nothing else. People are eating leaves to survive but everyone is suffering immensely. The children. The elderly. The new mothers. The husbands and sons and brothers getting shot at just to try to get “aid”.

We have failed as humans.

In South Asia, people refer to their cousins as sisters or brothers. Do any other cultures do this? I’m working on a fun picture book about cousin-sisters, so this is a bit of research!
