I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rana. Rana was studying to work in a medical laboratory before the war and her husband owned a small gift shop. Their home and shop were destroyed. They have two children Hamoud, 3 and Tota, 7. Hamoud’s eyes were injured and needs treatment.

It's Sakher 🍉 @sakher23.bsky.social · 1d

For two years, my family and I have been living through war, displacement, and hunger.
From one tent to another, from one cold night to the next.
Now we’re sick all of us because of the freezing air and this torn tent that can’t protect us anymore

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 19h

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

This. Also please read Medical Apartheid

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · 15h

Medical racism is a big reason why Black folks avoid the doctor. There are too many bad experiences with racist doctors & it develops distrust. Most of us have tales of medical racism. Then you get into community knowledge of all the times we were medical test subjects historically.

Gaza Palestinians not Gazans. West Bank Palestinians not West Bankers. Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, not Israeli Arabs.

Decolonize your language.

Impossible not to be moved by the jubilant scenes of the Palestinians being released, but each of them has stories that freeze the blood—decades lost to the black holes of “Israeli” torture prisons, many returning to find most of their families martyred. Palestine’s liberation has only just begun.

Don't let Zionists gaslight you into believing that the goal was a ceasefire

A ceasefire is a necessary step. But Israeli occupation, apartheid, land theft, ethnic cleansing, mass jailing & killing of Palestinians continues

The goal has always been & will always be liberation

"I think I had two stories in my head. One was we're gonna sell a hundred copies and that's it. I'm gonna have to go back and work at Domino's Pizza or whatever. But the other one was like, 'Man, this album feels so powerful, so moving and special to me. I think we're gonna find a big audience, and this is gonna be an important record.'" – Rivers Cuomo, CBS News, 2024
"Rock bands were getting more and more outrageous with tattoos and piercings. We came out completely clean-cut, four guys standing in a line, singing songs in major keys, about girls or whatever. It didn't quite make sense how that was the next step for rock and roll." –Rivers Cuomo, CBS News, 2024
"If you really want to understand the Blue Album — not just the illusion of the Blue Album that we sold — you have to take it in the context of what happened right before it, which is that I moved to L.A. from Connecticut after high school with the intention of making it with my heavy metal band." – Rivers Cuomo, Los Angeles Times, 2024

“The other far-hipper employees at Tower Records kind of educated me. I remember they played “Sliver” for me, [by Nirvana] and I was immediately in love. It had the aggression that I needed from my upbringing as a metalhead, but paired with strong, major-key chord progressions and catchy, emotional melodies and lyrics that felt so nostalgic and sweet and painful. It just sounded like it was coming from the deepest part inside of me—a part which I hadn’t yet been able to come close to articulating in my own music.” – Rivers Cuomo, American Songwriter, 2024
"It’s like, 'Oh, my God. This is so beautiful to me. And I identify with it so much.' Hearing [Kurt Cobain] sing about Mom and Dad and Grandpa Joe, these personal family issues, in a really heartbreaking kind of innocent, childlike way, over these straightforward chords in a major key." – Rivers Cuomo, GRAMMY, 2024
"When we made the 'Blue' album, I saw myself in a completely different light. I thought we were going to be the next Nirvana, that we were going to be taken very seriously as an angst-filled rock band. And I was completely shocked and surprised and disappointed when we put the record out to find that the press story was: 'This is a band of geeks.'' That story had never occurred to me. But it was universal around the world, that's what everyone said about us. So I guess it must be true. I just don't fit in and I don't even realise it. Put me in the wider society and I stand out as a misfit.” – Rivers Cuomo, Louder Sound, 2024
"I got their [demo] tapes from Geffen Records when I was out in LA working on another project. I listened to it in the car and just thought it was ph
