The image features a quote by Sa’ed Atshan discussing issues of homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination within the context of Palestinian society. The background is a solid green color, and the mood is serious and reflective.
Text in image: “Homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity, patriarchy, sexism, gender and sexuality-based violence; these are realities that we have to grapple with all around the world. It’s very dangerous to pathologize Palestinian society as uniquely homophobic or that homophobia is endemic to the society without this broader context, as well as without understanding the ways that life under brutal military occupation exacerbates homophobia within Palestinian society as well. In order for us to deal with questions of how queer people are treated in Palestine, we have to address the broader landscape of the denial of freedom to Palestinians more generally speaking.”
— Sa’ed Atshan

The image features a text overlay discussing issues related to anti-Trans laws and the experiences of queer individuals, set against a yellow background. The mood is reflective and critical, highlighting feelings of frustration and numbness regarding societal attitudes.
Text in image: I keep thinking of Nex Benedict stumbling out of that bathroom. Every Queer knows why the school didn’t call an ambulance or the cops. How fast would the cavalry be if the blonde homecoming queen got jumped 3 to 1?

We can trace this to anti-Trans laws and the damaged b-tch over at Libs of TikTok, to “the rhetoric”…but these deaths are so much older. Our school system has rarely been “safe” for Queers. I was Nex’s age when my bully outed me in front of the entire class. “He’s a f-ggot and we all know it.” My teacher just stood there and shrugged like it was my fault. Now I have to act shocked and outraged, call this a “wakeup call” so more straight people give a sh-t. What I am is numb. Another reminder that Queer culture was built on concussions.

A young woman is speaking in a classroom setting, discussing the public perception of Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy. The mood appears to be thoughtful and critical.
Text in image: Here’s this man, for example, that most people remember by what is a very poetic “I Have a Dream” speech, but not by the deep, penetrating social and political analysis he had about imperialism. And why? Because, in a sense, we censor that Martin Luther King. Even, like, a Martin Luther King holiday is constructed to make him more palatable.
