Obsessed with the idea of sacrifice in a book being a selfish act rather than a selfless one. Their lover screaming at them: “How dare you leave me in this barren world? How dare you take away my choice to die for you and leave me with this grief?”. They are dead, and their lover is left - a gaping wound - bleeding into the ground. Do they love them so much that they would die for them, or do they love them so much that they forced the other to live without them? Sacrifice as a bitter act. Sacrifice as something wildly violent; something tormentingly cruel — but always, always built on love. Perhaps, they are both martyrs in the end.

Thinking about Mr “if I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more” Knightley and Captain “I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me” Wentworth.
Rashida Tlaib has set up a petition to send to the White House to recognize and stop the ethnic cleansing and forced displacement happening in Gaza. If you’re a US citizen please sign. I have no illusions that this will change policy, but the public outcry against their actions must continue. We will not be distracted or discouraged from continuing to object to these humans rights violations.
The Israeli occupation destroys the central archive of Gaza municipality, executing thousands of historical documents and deliberately razing all life forms; erasing the city and its history. It is worth noting that the archive holds documents more than a hundred years old.
That's definitely a genocide.
