@joynewacc @palestine Alt text, first image (we add textual descriptions to images on the fediverse to help people who use assistive technologies to experience our posts so as not to exclude them. You can edit posts here and add descriptions even after you’ve sent a post):

Poster: Outline pencil sketch of Farah “Joy”, a proud young Palestinian woman with brown eyes. The Palestinian flag is hinted at with a red triangle, a splash of green behind her shoulders, a white background and the black inky silhouettes of birds flying above.

The text, in a typewriter font, frames her portrait in two columns. Left column: “She is a writer, she is a poet. She shares to us her thoughts, her life, her feelings, her voice. she has the dream to write about what she lived in Gaza.” (Text repeats several times.)

Right column: “She has the right to speak, she has the right to say to us what is happening and we have the duty to listen to her.” (Text repeats several times.)

In all caps, underneath: BLUESKY – YOU’RE NOT GOING TO SHUT HER VOICE

@alx I don’t see them listed on Francesca Albanese’s list https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/1/un-report-lists-companies-complicit-in-israels-genocide-who-are-they or on the BDS web site, so, with the general caveat that no trillion-dollar corporation is your friend and there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, it doesn’t appear that they are involved in the way those other companies are.
