Once again, “Judeo-Christian” being used as a synonym for”white.” (Quote post) And in Danny Kruger’s post: “Christian restoration” is code for white supremacy. Think Pete Hegseth and his Christian tattoos and Crusader obsession. In the U.S. and across Europe, Christian=white nationalism

It recently came to my attention that ADL included me in their roundup article last year headlined “Support for October 7 Attack, Glorification of Terror Mark 2024 Nakba Day Events.” Not linking to their article but here’s screen grab of what they say and below is the Leila Khaled interview

And this is more recent. Lifting 205lbs.

Two years before Trump was reelected, I began strength training. I can now deadlift and squat more than my body weight. The timing had nothing to do with the occupant of the White House and more to do with my personal goals.
From Nov: the funny faces I make when I lift. This is 185lbs

Found a non-miserable looking picture of Mona at 27.
Exactly 30yrs ago this summer, I went to China for the UN Women’s Conference.
In between sporadic crying in my hotel room (undiagnosed depression) I was in feminist heaven.
This is outside the Forbidden Palace in Beijing

What if the growing up continues and we think of it as creating the map we need rather than following the maps of others? What if it can be a map as anarchist as my heart.

I dye my hair neon yellow because during lockdown when I shaved off all my hair, I missed the sun and promised myself that after lockdown I’d dye my short hair a vivid yellow to always have the sun on my head.
Here’s what I look like in between dye jobs 📷 @rerutled.bsky.social

I’ll be turning 58 end of this month. On the left is Mona age about 27. On the right is Mona age 57. One of the reasons I share pictures of myself is that I want to grow up publicly. Also, it reminds me how miserable I was when I was in my 20s!

Bosnian Girl is an iconic art work of the Bosnian war.
Bosnian artist Sejla Kameric created this self portrait that uses graffiti written by a Dutch soldier sent to protect the UN safe zone in Srebrenica. The Dutch forces were overrun by Bosnian Serb troops.

When you see the names of the massacred in Srebrenica, you see how many families were almost wiped out.
Just like the entire Palestinian families Israel is wiping out in Gaza

Starting July 11,1995 and for about a week,Serbs massacred +8k boys & men & ethnically cleansed 30k.
Remember Srebrenica End Israel’s genocide in Gaza

This fascist genocidal fuck. And all the genocidal fucks across the world from the US to Europe and elsewhere who armed and financed his genocide.
Palestinian lives are that disposable?
And it's not a "war." It's a genocide.
Fuck Netanyahu. Fuck Trump. Fuck Biden.
