Knowledge is Power

Thank God for the Internet. We have easy access to every resource we need to be able to thoroughly understand any important situation from every angle possible.

All it takes is the desire to be curious and well educated. And the capacity to think for yourself. And just generally giving a shit about humanity.

We are so lucky to have these resources at our fingertips

social media

has a true, important, functional purpose right now.

We have the incredible opportunity to be awakened and moved by our world community at large. Particularly by those who have the fortitude to present first hand accounts of their devastating lived experiences in Gaza. They are risking their lives to make sure the world has access to all the information, even and especially what CNN won’t show.

IMMENSE awe and gratitude to the life force of these creators. A few of these accounts have already gone silent, and we can only assume the creator has been killed. 40+ Press have died from bombings in Gaza already. Their content is a gift they left behind. Viewing their work is showing respect. Let their efforts move you to do absolutely anything at all to help. Prayer included.

I’ve found these resources to be consciousness-expanding and I’m so grateful.

Don’t just rely on sound bytes & quick summations.

The way this “conflict” is understood, and fought for, and felt for, will define how humanity proceeds forward.

The history of this region is beautiful and complex and extremely tragic for all the millions of innocent people who have been born into it over the past century.

Do Israeli and Palestinian people alike the service of really understanding what the fuck they’ve been dealing with over the last century. This did not start on October 7, 2023.
