Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Spent the last week in Naples with my bestie. Eaten a lot of pasta, swam in the sea and enjoyed some time off!

fighting tears

a screenshot of the first several paragraphs of the quote-skeeted article, with the following paragraphs highlighted in yellow:

“If I die, I want a loud death,” Hassouna wrote on social media. “I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.”

On Wednesday, just days before her wedding, 25-year-old Hassouna was killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit her home in northern Gaza. Ten members of her family, including her pregnant sister, were also killed.

The Israeli military said it had been a targeted strike on a Hamas member involved in attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians.

I just wanted to say, as I know terfs want to speak on behalf of me as a cis & queer woman but my life has been made fuller, richer/ better for trans people. I am glad to have met trans people, expanded my narrow world view & I will always fight for esp trans women to be in my community & spaces

Unfortunately for me it took leaving my village, going to university ( which also comes with a lot of class feelings) to find my queer community. It’s a shame I had to leave those spaces to find safety & community but my life has improved infinitely since doing so. I love my queer friends

I grew up queer in a small rural village in North Yorkshire. My past research has always tried to navigate the complexities of growing up surrounded by homophobia, without out queer & trans ppl or community. But also not wanting to homogenise the idea of what our communities must inherently be like

Thank you!! Yes I tried a few years ago and it wasn’t the right time for me! I’m also trying to not pressure too much if it doesn’t work out :)

Tapering off antidepressants after nearly 10 years on them (so many different kinds) I am really excited/nervous/ scared but looking forward to it. First, I have to deal with SSRI withdrawal symptoms, though!!!
