The Thing Is That Getting Palestine Free Is Both Very Difficult But Not As Difficult As Getting South

Kim: You know if I don’t have a baby in 10 years, and you don’t have a baby, we could-

Chloe: Kim, no.

Kim: 20.

Chloe:No

Kim: 30 years?

Chloe: ...sure?

The invasion of Rafah is imminent. We all need to be prepared to do what needs to be done from protesting, blocking ships carrying weapons from leaving ports, disrupting the lives of politicians supporting this, to donating and boycotting.

All eyes on Rafah.

I can't stress enough how much I miss StumbleUpon

Marinette: So, who’s the more clingy one?

Chloe: *twirling a lock of Kagamis hair lovingly, with other arm around her waist and placing a kiss on her cheek before answering* Kagami, obviously.

Adrien: *doing the same with Marinette* I know how you feel, Chloe.

The Children Who Lost Limbs in Gaza

More than a thousand children who were injured in the war are now amputees. What do their futures hold?

Gazal was wounded on November 10th, when, as her family fled Gaza City’s Al-Shifa hospital, shrapnel pierced her left calf. To stop the bleeding, a doctor, who had no access to antiseptic or anesthesia, heated the blade of a kitchen knife and cauterized the wound. Within days, the gash ran with pus and began to smell. By mid-December, when Gazal’s family arrived at Nasser Medical Center—then Gaza’s largest functioning health-care facility—gangrene had set in, necessitating amputation at the hip. On December 17th, a projectile hit the children’s ward of Nasser. Gazal and her mother watched it enter their room, decapitating Gazal’s twelve-year-old roommate and causing the ceiling to collapse.

UNICEF estimates that a thousand children in Gaza have become amputees since the conflict began in October. “This is the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history,” Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a London-based plastic-and-reconstructive surgeon who specializes in pediatric trauma, told me recently.

*Adrien and Plagg meeting Master Fu*

Plagg: Adrien thinks that all gigs are boys and all cats are girls.

Master Fu: Are you joking?

Adrien: There’s no way to disprove that, have you ever seen a cat penis?

Plagg: Hello, I am Plagg, a cat kwami, and also male.

Master Fu: You do know that both Plagg and Chat Noir are male, right?

Nathaniel: You know, I came here to talk you about the fact that boys don’t get periods, like at all. But now we’ve been once talking for hours because you’re just so damn interesting. And we only talked about your way to school!

Alix: I could just stop being interesting, I mean- watch this!

Alix: *freezes*

Alix: ...

Nathaniel: Hello?

Alix: ...

Nathaniel: Well now I have to wait here and see how long you can keep this up!
