The Grumpy Granny

I love everyone bringing back the conversation to Pa1estine 🍉🍉 If you're not in the loop, look up *why* was Macklemore kicked out of Ed Sheeran's tour. It's disappointing but not surprising seeing Ed take a "neutral" stance against gen0cide. I hope for the day where we can recognize "not taking a stance" for what it is, which is taking a stance as the oppressors accomplice.

I leave you with a Pa1estinian poem I like:

"Colonizers write about flowers.
I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks
seconds before becoming daisies.
I want to be like those poets who care about the moon.
Palestinians don’t see the moon from jail cells and prisons.
It’s so beautiful, the moon.
They’re so beautiful, the flowers.
I pick flowers for my dead father when I’m sad.
He watches Al Jazeera all day.
I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan.
I know I’m American because when I walk into a room something dies.
Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound.
When I die, I promise to haunt you forever.
One day, I’ll write about the flowers like we own them."
-Noor Hindi
