I get way too into things and then I annoy everyone around me with my fixations. I'm kind of a flake, especially with my writing, but if something really matters to me, then I'm not going to abandon it ever.
sjp.columbia: Having to constantly post graphic images of mutilated and dead Palestinian bodies in order to prove Palestinian suffering has made us realize the extent to which this racist dehumanization persists — where even thousands of pictures of dead Palestinian children are not enough for the Western world to step up and condemn genocide. This photo of Sidra Hassouna has been haunting us since we saw it upon the Israeli bombardment of Rafah.
It is hard to adequately express the whiplash we face when people complain about protests inconveniencing them when, just an hour before a protest, we are staring at these images. We often wonder if everyone is seeing the same news as us. How is it possible to view an image like this and continue to stay silent?
Say her name. Palestinians are not collateral damage. Palestinians are not numbers. Palestinians are humans who deserve to live, dream, and laugh. Rest in peace, Sidra Hassouna.
Live from the BBC, we’re receiving reports of what Swedish locals are calling “an absolute fucking baddie getting down with her funky ass self in the kitchen.” More news after the break…
Went to the grocery store with Mamaw yesterday and bought some Faygo Rock & Rye because it's delicious! Opened a bottle with my lunch today and realized... I've been drinking so much water and for so long that...I don't know when to drink a soda? Like, I grabbed the bottle because it was here but it felt like a treat that I should save for something great?
I'm generally trying not to save things for Special Days because that's silly, but... When do normal people drink soda? I'm used to just grabbing some water and having it sit out next to me all afternoon so I can sip from it whenever I want. But with soda it's like there's a specific timeframe when it's cold enough to taste right and also you gotta worry about it going flat? I almost never finish bottles of soda anymore because they're not water!
