Burn me alive, if you will. But it’s not my place to bear your consequence, nor sins as damning precedent, or no—sacrificial lies I’m not, your victim...

I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.

And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 227-228.)

#free palestine #israel #gaza #this is under ch 10 'The Memoricide of the Nakba' - > 'Virtual Colonialism and the JNF'#''olive trees had popped up in defiance of the alien flora planted over them fifty-six years ago.''

yeah yeah, jason todd’s dip in the ecto-lazarus pit changed something in him irrevocably, enough that he feels a resonance with fellow living-dead danny we’ve all been there

but you know who else has been killed and was revived by the lazarus pit? another member of the batfamily, a fellow hero, world class fighter, stubbornly believes in second chances and redemption? cassandra motherfuckin’ cain

#WRITE HER IN YOU COWARDS!!!!#dpxdc #dcxdp #cassandra cain #danny fenton #shes SO cool shes SO interesting. she holds herself to impossible standards she was killed by her brother whom she tried to save #shes ruthless and relentless and she projects onto every killer she sees hyperempathetic #and the whole fight that kills her shes like LET ME HELP YOU PLEASE #please read batgirl (2000) if you guys like fucked up resurrection stuff and parents bring evil and defiance of fate you’ll love cass #kipthought

watching percy try to call his father sir only to have poseidon call bullshit immediately, after having spent the entire show actively refusing to be respectful to any deity shape or form is so funny to me like no poseidon, obedience does not come naturally to your son

he made a personal enemy out of both gods of war and read the literal king of olympus to filth on his daddy issues causing all three of them to individually try and kill him, all on his first quest like come on now 😭

#i honestly think more of his defiance came from sally #percy jackson #pjo tv show #percy jackson tv series #pjo episode 8

Palimpsest By Remedy of Fire

Unwashed of agony, one door opens, and the windows that are closed deny a different eye to see forever. This way, over, under me, you say—as kindred watch me burn...

absolutely miserable experience that Some Fucking Guy would set up shop yelling at students here on campus with one of those big signs listing all the people that are going to hell, like homosexuals and "darwinists" and "dirty dancers". completely humiliating that he would point at students and scream wild assumptions about their orientation, their std status, the appearance of their genitalia, etc. BUT. it's incredibly heartwarming that it only took one or two outbursts for a HUGE crowd of students to gather around in solidarity with each other, laugh at him, play music over him, and wave a huge pride flag AND a jolly roger flag over his head while several women started making out with each other. and as i was walking away to get a bite to eat with my friends, we passed by even more people asking us "is that asshole still out there yammering? i wanna give him a piece of my mind!" THAT'S what it's all about. no matter how much hate and anger there is in this world, there's always going to be kind, warm, helpful people who outnumber it, and who may just need a little encouragement to plant their feet and reach out to each other in the face of the blistering hatred.

#he said some truly vile things but more importantly i think he brought a lot of people together in defiance of him #and he definitely gave my friend group some great new inside jokes about being a divorced virgin LMAO #shebbz shoutz

always enjoyed the Chess Set In The Foreground perspective framing used here

now also noting like, huh, a chess set in a general store just visited by marigold competitors who killed one of their guys and are now on the way back from their rendezvous point w/suppliers

#and now to take a big sip of ''nothing suggests lackadaisy ft. people stuck / things repeating / death begetting death''#not like i suppose we're going to be hit with ''& then mordecai and viktor sat down at the defiance field office for every passing gangster #played chess and then went and properly slaughtered the lackadaisy crew and arbogasts at the funeral home / barn w/car-sized holes''#good reminder though that Viktor Is Now Active....left off with elsa managing to give him a phonecall; for good measure #lackadaisy #i have no lengthy Mitzi Mordecai Murder Mystery Musings posts for today (b/c not enough fresh musing insights) but no prommies #epiphanies are on their own schedule #quite the chess piece arrangement seen there too lol. can't tell if there's any Classic Configuration in the game b/w viktor & mordecai #not a chesshead and never was lol strategy games??? who's that #or i'll play them but not strategically. invented Flick Chess for indoor recess in elementary school #you flick a piece across the board and whatever you knock off the board = you took those pieces lmfao #though not like that has Zero strategy. thinking of my day enjoying tiddlywinks research #imagine my delight revisiting all this material like oh yeah the little pic of freckle tiddlywinking #let's squop; boys #i'm also supposing that chess sets? checkers sets? and etc. would be common general store features; like phone usage....real general....#but like; what; are we expecting this Not to bring a response from marigold lol #got the nervous twitch but they're like ''ah it's fine. cost of doing business''

weight gain as healing is a very good trope but i thought of an offshoot which is just as good, maybe even better

may i present to you: weight gain as re-establishing bodily autonomy

#bzz bzz #when you have no control over your body and its appearance #when that is all determined by external influences that want to keep you thin #reshaping your body is an act of defiance and a way to claim your body as yours #i think a lot about idle scree's video on what hunter's death means in terms of sacrifice #and there's a whole bit about the body as a battleground #i come back to it so often it drives me wild
