Timothy Chalamet passed away last night after choking on a single frozen unchewed green pea. Family members confirmed his passing in a statement to the media "it's how he liked to eat them"
LESS THAN TWO HOURS AGO: four cornell students have been suspended (and at least the one reporting was evicted, unknown about the others) for their involvement with their campus's gaza solidarity encampment. during a school year centering freedom of expression no less!
While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.
Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.
Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.
Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.
If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.
looks like I need to be explicit again: terfs and transphobes are not welcome here. this is a truly madly deeply enthusiastically pro-trans and especially pro-transfem blog. my femininity has 1000x more in common with trans women than it will ever have with any vision of womanhood that depends on medicalisation, body fascism and despair, and my masculinity is informed by the warmth, kindness and vulnerability of all the best cis men I've had the fortune to know. there is nothing interesting about your martyrdom or your misery. get over it and, until you do, get off my posts.
Refaat Alareer, If I must die, written in 2011, published online on November 1, 2023
If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up
above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale
(transcript by the American Friends Service Committee)
