Gaza

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.)

In the first mission of Slipsand Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario or Luigi must slide down an extremely long slope. After they begin sliding, cylindrical Thwomp-like enemies called Rhomps appear from behind and attempt to squash them by rolling over them.

If the player is playing as Luigi and performs an extremely precise long jump just as Luigi is about to be rolled over by a Rhomp, Luigi will gain immense speed that will catapult him into the air as seen in the footage.

Unfortunately, there is no way for the player to slow down Luigi at that point, so that after flying far enough to exit the regular gameplay area, Luigi will leave the boundaries of the galaxy, and die.

Not saying anything nobody's said before, but the way Fallout is a foundationally anti-capitalist story that got turned into funkopop sci-fi pastiche slop for morons is painful to the point of brilliance. Makes its points about greed and power that much more salient.

I forgot. I really should get around to doing that because apparently there is way more stuff in my profile than I anticipated.

I ought to rewatch Strange Aeons' video on Tumblr Etiquette because I forgot almost everything they said in it except like 'Don't use the default PFP or your real name or else you'll look like a bot'

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has dropped 18,000 tons of bombs on the Gaza Strip. This is roughly twice the explosive force of the bomb used in World War II to destroy Hiroshima, Japan. Over 32,000 individuals have been injured, and at least 9,061 Palestinians have been killed; men, women, and children who are innocent. We cannot stay silent because these are actual numbers and actual people who, despite 75 years of resistance to injustice, are still being violently removed from their homes, subjected to ethnic cleansing, and colonized.

Continue talking about it.
