My name's Megan. I'm an author, artist and cosplayer. I am also over 18 (not gonna share the exact number though because internet). I love Arcane, Spider-Man, Baldur's Gate, Tales of Arcadia, One Piece, Critical Role, the list goes on. I'm basically just a huge nerd that likes all of the nerdy things!
It should be illegal to require that any device or software connect to the internet just to run. I shouldn't need to log in with microsoft to open any of their programs on my local computer. All games should be playable without access to an online server. All media you pay for should be downloadable to local disk as a raw file and if they don't like that because they know you'll share it and upload it, tough shit. They took your money already, they'll live.
I should note, I hate the soulmates "we would fall in love in every universe" trope for the aforementioned "where's the tension and interest and really anything worthwhile" reasons. However, "we would find each other in every universe" fucking rips. We would interact meaningfully in every universe but sometimes we are lovers and sometimes we are friends and sometimes we are bitter enemies and sometimes we'd simply both be in the same HOA.
I discuss this in full, with additional notes and graphics here on my Instagram.
The Israel-Palestine conflict genocide is perhaps the most unabashed human rights violation of the twenty-first century. As a muslim and an Indonesian, I believe this isn't a religious matter, but a matter of neocolonialism
I want to discuss it from the perspective of decolonization as put forward in the works of Pastor Rev. Mitri Raheb of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethelhem.
Mitri Raheb explores the impact of colonialism on Palestinian society and offers insights into strategies for decolonization. Raheb argues that the colonization of Palestine has not only affected the political and territorial aspects of the conflict but has also deeply impacted the cultural, social, and religious identity of the Palestinian people. He emphasizes the importance of decolonization as a process that goes beyond political independence to encompass the restoration of Palestinian identity, history, and cultural heritage. It highlights the need for a holistic approach to decolonization that addresses the multifaceted dimensions of the Palestinian experience.
Mitri Raheb's work on "Decolonizing Palestine" advocates for the liberation of Palestine based on the historical injustices inflicted by colonialism, which have led to the suppression of Palestinian identity and rights. He argues that decolonization is essential to address these injustices and restore Palestinian sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of reclaiming Palestinian heritage and resisting ongoing colonial practices. He underscores the moral imperative of decolonization, advocating for a just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that respects human rights and ensures the dignity of the Palestinian people.
When talking about the liberation of Palestine, it must go hand in hand with the Decolonizing of Palestine. It goes beyond the return of territorial sovereignty. It is a return of the history, culture, and heritage of the Palestinian people.
"The occupation of Palestine is not just about land, it's about the suppression of an entire people's identity and existence."
