eve making candle holders

i only made eight. but eight is better than zero

yousef and i went together. i enjoyed bonding with him. i know this night was about bringing people together to pay respects to our gazan kin and draw attention to the plight of palestinians everywhere. but on a micro level, i enjoyed sharing this moment with my boy

made in palestine

yousef and his cousin yasmeen. what a peaceful night. we don’t have rockets flying over our heads

and this is what happens when you’re holding a candle too close to your bespectacled face: evil brows

the boys: on the left is yousef’s cousin tarek

the girls: yasmeen and her friend nadia, who made these placards

gaza

excellent night
