Palestinians want to stay in Palestine. Americans and Europeans completely ignore their voices and then expect them to leave their homeland for Egypt and be happy with that. Bffr.

I have never once thought someone liking my stories was flirting with me, and I often like the stories I watch out of appreciation for what people share.
Why didn’t anyone tell me that liking instagram stories is a form of flirting? I’ve been out here genuinely liking everyone’s stories and showing my appreciation for what people share 😭 isn’t that what the like button is for?
