my bandana looks insane but hey, i’ve been awake since 4 am so it could be much worse……
so proud to stand with
@OxAct4Pal
in demanding that our university ends its complicity in Israeli war crimes!!!! From the river to the sea, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
the articles circulating about me in the daily mail and the sun are false. my love island audition tape was not a spoof. i submitted an application. please respect my search for love in the sun.
absolutely disgusting choice from
@UniofOxford
to destroy our memorial garden. this was a space for students, faculty, and members of the community to grieve and reflect.
oxford chose to bulldoze it rather than face its complicity in the violence against the palestinian people.
Hillary Clinton criticizes pro-Palestinian protests and says many young people she’s spoken to “don't know very much at all about the history of the Middle East or, frankly, about history in many areas of the world.”
there is only one thing that matters right now and it’s the ground invasion of rafah.
every person on earth has a responsibility to end this genocide. find what you can personally do - and do it.
best part of my day everyday is seeing all of the comments i’ve received from people in palestine.
i think i can speak for all of the campers at oxford when i say that this is why we’re here - for you. and we won’t stop fighting!!!!!!
MASS ARRESTS AT THE UNI OF OXFORD!!! students staged a sit-in at the vice chancellors office, all 16 under arrest and 2 in vans. mass mobilisation needed at wellington square.
POWER TO THE STUDENTS!! SHAME ON THE UNIVERSITY!! FREE PALESTINE!

@KendallGardner
omg i bought this a few years ago and it’s just been sitting on the shelf in my mom’s house - guessing i should absolutely read it????
feel so sick today. the genocide continues unabated and oxford is deciding to take legal action against our encampment instead of engaging with us.
admin is full of excuses and deflections. they have zero sense of urgency, no empathy, and a deeply held bias against Palestinians.
tik tok has content restricted all of my vids about the oxford encampment. truly so disgusting that all our methods of information dissemination are controlled by fascist tech overlords
Truly deranged stuff: the PM and his ministers lined up with the Israel lobby to try and intimidate vice chancellors into repressing protests so a handful of pro-genocide students don’t feel ‘uncomfortable’ or ‘unsafe’
being 23 is weird bc like half of the people from ur high school are getting married and the other half of people from ur high school are also getting married bc you are from indiana
The highlight of my 2018 was becoming an alt right twitter meme & I honestly don’t know if anything I do in 2019 or for the rest of my life will ever compare happy nye
listening to my dear friends relay their Nakba stories was so incredibly painful. i often get emotional in camp, but this event broke me.
this is why we’re here. this is why we camp.
i will not rest until my friends and their families can return home, to a free Palestine.
Part 2: Day 10 (Nakba Day) at the Oxford Liberated Zone.
It was an honour to hear oral histories from Palestinian community members sharing their families’ Nakba stories. (1/2)
is everyone collectively forgetting that kamala is also a genocidal maniac and a fucking cop like yeah she didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree she’s BEEN evil?!!?
63 days that are impossible to describe. every minute of every day was shaped by an all-encompassing grief.
we never stopped believing in the possibility of change - we still haven’t.
it’s not a matter of IF oxford will divest but WHEN. and we won’t stop until it does.
(1/2) ANNOUNCEMENT: After 63 days, we’ve decided to close our Gaza solidarity encampment. We’re looking ahead towards the next phase of this movement, and Oxford will never be the same. Read the full statement here or on our website at

y’all: my friends are crazy 😜
me: ok but have your friends ever made business cards featuring your phone number and an ugly ass photo of you from high school, then distributed said cards throughout the entire city of new orleans
my mom and I lost our 1296 day snap streak and she contacted snapchat to say our streak was helping her mental state during covid and they gave it back to us thank u snapchat for saving my mother
thinking about when my newcomb big for my freshman year at tulane told me that my class was ruining tulane’s reputation as an attractive school bc we were bringing down the hotness average & then added “haha not you though…. you’re pretty haha….” when I didn’t respond
i sent this party bus driver 100 dollars for my deposit but then he randomly paid me 100 dollars the next day?? so i thought he was like refunding my deposit and also that he hated me…. anyway hope his child is doing well
Today marks one month since we launched camp. So much has happened in that time - including horrific police violence set upon us by the University - but we have yet to receive an invitation to dialogue.
@UniofOxford
- MEET WITH YOUR STUDENTS!
🚨EMERGENCY RALLY: TODAY @ 2PM. Outside the Sheldonian.
israel has intensified its assault on Rafah, where half of Gaza’s population is sheltering. israel is blocking entry/exit points while carpet bombing densely populated areas.
We escalate for Gaza.
ALL OUT FOR RAFAH 🇵🇸

🚨HAPPY IMPEACHMENT DAY to all my hoes💦👅who put the 🍑in IM🍑MENT😛looks like donald💰🤮finally got caught👨✈️trying to call daddy ukraine🇺🇦 to take out hoe biden🧓🏻🔥 send this to 🔟💃🏻woke📝 hoes 🙏🏻😩bc eating 🇺🇸ASS 🍑is the only️ ethical👌form of consumption😋under capitalism💸
daily dose of hope is that i just taught my last class of British teenagers for the summer and we’re now 6/6 for every single student being unequivocally in support of Palestine and wanting to talk about it in the classroom
so even tho I graduated and have been working full time for measly pay since june, I probably do not qualify for a measly 600 stimulus check bc I was a dependent on my moms 2019 tax return.... that is AWESOME I love congress they do so much for the american people 🤩
it’s funny bc the reason I most desperately want the vaccine is so that I can once again lose my sense of self inside snake and jakes christmas club lounge
mardi gras mornings are so weird like do I drink? do I sleep? do I drink? do I get ready? do i drink? do I eat? do i drink?
ok cool im drinking now alright awesome see you in 5 days
if your “activism” doesn’t include Palestine, it’s not activism. the fight for liberation is global & all oppressive systems are connected and reinforcing.
solidarity and love to Palestine today, tomorrow, & forever. End settler colonialism, end apartheid,

In this week's Pickle, Vashti editor and Oxford doctoral student Kendall Gardner reflects on the launch of Oxford Action for Palestine's solidarity encampment.
I feel physically ill.
Mostly, I’m upset that I thought for even ONE second that this wouldn’t be the outcome. The GOP has shown us who they are - time & time again.
They won’t change their reprehensible moral stances. It’s time for us to change their job prospects.
VOTE!!!
tbt to when my boss at an internship pulled up my twitter & scrolled to a pic of me and mike pence in high school which I captioned “I want to light myself on fire” and lectured me about being political on social media
“At the very least, our protest means that when the time comes – as it surely will – for Western institutions to account for how they acted in this moment, Oxford cannot claim that it didn’t know any better.”
Please read my friend’s INCREDIBLE piece for the LRB. So well said ❤️
I wrote for the
@LRB
blog about Oxford's Gaza Solidarity Encampment (
@OxAct4Pal
), police violence, and the legal frameworks which distract us from Israel's genocide in Gaza:
oxford dating apps are like “two truths and a lie: i’m an olympic gold medalist in fencing, my great great great great great grandmother is mary queen of scots, and i named the mathematical theory i invented after my first pet, a cavalier king charles spaniel called Gethsemane”
Hey also just a reminder that these are the types of men that Trump has empowered and part of the reason I was out protesting in the first place. As long as men continue to SEXUALIZE WOMEN & MISS THE POINT while we struggle to protect our constitutional rights, our fight goes on.
a reminder that the us military is the world’s biggest polluter. climate change cannot be halted or even meaningfully mitigated without a complete overthrow of the american capitalist-imperialist system. the green new deal is just a compromise & the elite STILL won’t back it.
i just went on a date that was so spectacularly horrible that a random man from the bar chased me out afterwards to tell me that he wished he’d “written it down play by play for a short film idea”and he hopes i “vet ‘em better next time”
