here’s every piece of media I’ve consumed on palestine & palestine-adjacent issues (documentaries, books (fiction or not), articles (academic or not), film, etc.). pdfs & links, it’s accessible & comprehensive, & I’ll always update it.

you realize eventually that sometimes the heart stays tender not despite the bitterness but because of it; pain has cleansing abilities that no kindness can grant & maybe this is a little shameful & a lot grotesque, but you trudge through it if you must & dance if you choose

spent my afternoon in this 80-year-old woman’s home with no clocks. she times the seeping of the tea she serves by number of breaths. she likes her tea better after 70 breaths, she told me. I stood there for five minutes watching her breathe. it was glorious.

one of the many ways to say “I want to hug you” in Arabic is “أُريد أن أضمّك" which I can roughly translate to “I want to make you a piece of me” or even “I want to piece us together”

the real personality test is: do you have a crippling fear of forgetting core memories / do you find the acute passage of time comforting or does it haunt you at night / does the irreversibility of life strike you at the oddest of times / do you tend to poeticize despair too

The arabic for “welcome” is أهلاً و سهلاً (ahlan wa sahlan), ahlan meaning “we’re not strangers, you’ve met your family,” and sahlan meaning “you’ve reached a safe place where no harm can befall you.”

@LexxClarkk @blanketm9 i think trump said “revoke 230” bc twitter put a warning on his tweets, and he wants to sue twitter but he can’t because section 230 offers a broad shield to tech companies, protecting them from lawsuits over content generated by users on their sites, and he wants to change that

a particular confusion of getting older is realising that there are aspects of you that stem from the very specific culture of your upbringing, and yet how that culture somehow only existed inside particular walls & so can never be shared or related or consoled about with others

That word will forever be associated with a long history of slavery, oppression and racial discrimination against black people in america. For centuries, white people used it to slur, chastise and degrade black people. It’s loaded with hate as it was in 1818, 1938 and 1968.

People were kidnapped from africa, forced into slavery in the american colonies and exploited to work as indentured servants and labor in the production of crops such as tobacco and cotton. They’d get insulted or referred to using that word, but with an “er” instead of “a”.
