A reminder, especially to my godforsaken government.
Think of Others Mahmoud Darwish Translated by Mohammed Shaheen As you prepare your breakfast, think of others (do not forget the pigeon’s food). As you conduct your wars, think of others (do not forget those who seek peace). As you pay your water bill, think of others (those who are nursed by clouds). As you return home, to your home, think of others (do not forget the people of the camps). As you sleep and count the stars, think of others (those who have nowhere to sleep). As you liberate yourself in metaphor, think of others (those who have lost the right to speak). As you think of others far away, think of yourself (say: “If only I were a candle in the dark”).

#WeKeepTelling is back on 7 December at 7 pm GMT! Tickets are free, donations are encouraged & welcome. These readings have been called medicinal, so get yourself some much needed medicine to soothe your weary soul. Take a breath, listen to beautiful Palestinian poetry & prose.

Title: “We Keep Telling: a reading series for Gaza.” Text: “Online on Zoom. 7th December 7pm GMT, tinyurl.com/wekeeptelling.” In the background is a painting of a dancing Palestinian woman in a white, short-sleeved thobe with red tatreez and a keffiyeh tied around her waist. Her long black hair is swirling around her and covering her face. A dove stands on one of her outstretched hands, and another dove dances around her other hand. In the lower left, the painting is signed “Marah.”

It´s Friday, it's raining- and most of us have a safe place to stay, away from the rain and the cold. Palestinians do not have this luxury, the situation is catastrophic and wishing it away won´t help. But you can help by sharing and donating, you can offer real, tangible help. Please do.

Giving up is not an option. Despair is not an option. Radical hope is the only option. Please help in any way you can. Thank you.

Tents are flooded and everyone is just trying to save as much as they can and support other families through this. You can offer tangible support by donating and sharing. Please do! #Mawasi

On the left is a watercolor painting of two sunbirds, one male and one female, perched on a branch together. The male sunbird is brightly colored in turquoise, blue, purple, green, and brown and facing to the right, with dark orange paint behind him. The female sunbird is subtly colored in dark browns, tans, and grays and faces left, with dark turquoise paint behind her. The text reads “Help displaced families in Mawasi: displaced families are pouring into Mawasi with empty hands and empty stomachs. With your help, we can continue to feed them, comfort their children, and remind them they are not forgotten.” At the bottom is the link https://chuffed.org/project/mawasi-families

Start your weekend by supporting the Giving Circle. Don´t get sidetracked by the illusion of peace, the illusion of a ceasefire. Our help is needed.

A friend wrote to me this morning: "even your wreckiest wreckage is beautiful". Surround yourself with people who send you lifelines like this when times are hard. Surround yourself with people who push light into this never-ending darkness, whose messages are lighthouses.

We are being "governed" by people devoid of empathy, of compassion, of anything resembling humanity. Spineless, warmongering, fearmongering cowards. Who do they think they are? Why do we let them be who they are and profit from it? Let this radicalize you.

Please do what you can to keep these families and the people in the camp alive. Because you CAN help. You can, you can, you can.

I know he is German, because he expects to be forgiven after Noor Hindi, after Najia Khaled Years later, at a New Year`s Eve party one of them apologized You were just different All dressed up, outside the night trees and a fire burning, in a breath I was back there, the snap of my fountain pen breaking, hand-drawn Japanese flags ripped up, chants of Japs Out anonymous letters telling me to die, a swastika stamped on my forehead my despair every morning before school And this darkness in me, still, never lifting.

A ceasefire is not peace. And as we know, it isn´t even a ceasefire The one thing we can do is offer tangible help. Which means, you donate what you can, if you can- and if not, you share widely, ask around. This is not a movie, these are real people. And they need us.

You can offer tangible help. This is not some huge organization, these are families who receive what you give. Money for tents, for clothes, for food. We have seen the ceasefire does not hold. People are still starving, still without a home. It is our obligation to help. Please do. #WeKeepTelling

"If you are overwhelmed by the big picture, make the picture that you are looking at smaller."
Adrienne Maree Brown

Look at the smaller picture, which is this quoted post. And then help however you can. Don´t get overwhelmed. Everything you do helps, sharing, donating.
