The UN estimates that the death toll of Palestinians killed by Israel from 2008-2023 was 6,407 people.
According to Al Jazeera, the death toll over the past 18 days is now 6,546 people. Children make up nearly half that number.
The healthcare system is basically nonexistent without fuel to power the generators. There is almost no drinking water left. The death toll is only going to keep skyrocketing. There are no words.
i know hearing people on this website love to pass around those posts with links to free sign language lessons but you know you need to actually put effort into learning about Deaf culture, too, right?
to anyone in the notes saying they’re going to “learn sign language first and then learn about Deaf culture later,” please consider: not doing that and, instead, learning about Deaf culture and your target sign language concurrently!
Me, after ordering one coffee and a bagel, enraged that we have let capitalism get to such a late stage that just getting a cheap little treat is a fucking 16 dollar purchase, panicking at my dwindling funds in the face of more and more inflation, considering how bad it would be to just jump the counter and take a few bagels and a coffee pot, the utter panic and rage sending me into a blind fury as I guzzle down boiling coffee and stale, untoasted expired bagels, my eyes red with unbridled fury and my face even redder from scalding coffee burns, before I finally snap back to reality and hand the cashier my debit card: yeah sounds good, no worries.
