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.)
how does venting work in among us
because i thought that the impostor were using their shapeshifting abilities to be able to fit into the vents
but then among us added roles and made it so crew members could vent
but also only if they're an engineer
is it like
the engineers are the only ones that know how to crawl?
is there multiple branching pathways in the vents that only someone who repairs the ship know how to navigate?
polus and the fungle make this even more confusing
on polus, it's just holes, i don't see why they only some people can use them
and the fungle, a plant eats you, then a different one spits you out?
how does that work?
are the impostor able to travel through the roots of the plants?
how do the engineers do it?
if the engineers can do it why can't the rest of the crew?
well actually maybe the crew shouldn't jump into giant plants that can eat you whole
but still why is it that the crew can vent but only when they're engineers, which doesn't even make sense for 2/5 maps
none of this makes sense
on mental health and activism - watching video after video of dead kids and bad news is going to take a toll on you. absolutely do not look away, but remember to take care of yourself. take small breaks, eat, sleep, talk to people. remember that you are in this for the long haul and that you're no use to anyone if you have a massive breakdown and can't help anymore
I decided to ask a friend what they thought, and they decided that I should make a separate politics blog, so say hi to @spicyneighborhoodmenace
...I should probably get around to making a profile picture for it (and figuring out what I will make it), otherwise it sounds like it's a porn blog with that name.
Dear Followers and Mutuals, if you come across this, should I make a separate blog for my Politics and Arguments? My blog is mostly lighthearted stuff but after my posts about the Israel-Palestine conflict, I can see how that can feel out of place here.
I'm aware that this is a pretty big blog, so I try to avoid putting people on blast- mostly cause I don't want anyone tracking folks down and dogpiling on them for the unforgivable sin of "being wrong about a thing",
Because we are all hilariously, ridiculously and unabashedly incorrect about things at times, and that doesn't deserve the embarrassment of a thousand jeering, judging strangers with their careless mockery and casual insults,
🙃
The Israeli genocide of Palestinians has been ongoing for 70 years.
