Being A Night Owl Is Really Isolating Sometimes But Being Able To Relax And Unmask Because The Moon Would

To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.

And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.

Saint Porphyrius Church, built in 1150 and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.

It's not an accident.

Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.

Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.

It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.

Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.

But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.

There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.

Traditions they've carried for centuries.

So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.

Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.

honestly, the things that insects are capable of will never cease to amaze me

November 30th,

I'm in full crisis:

I have dealt with a social media stalker lying about me to anyone with an open anons for 4 years. Their motivation is entirely anti-Semitic. That the harassment has begun again during a period of violence against Jews, is not coincidental by any means. The harassment caused me to lose my last housing due to sustained financial hardship. I am not now nor have I ever been the terf my stalker claims and irrespective of saying so people claim I don't deny it.

The stalker has started up again. I'm already suffering financial hardship. I wasn't able to provide food for Thanksgiving due to the harassment.

I have rent due. That's $4500, insurance, phone, and I must pay people. Then my former landlord presented a bill for over $7000 which included two months of rent I wasn't living there.

I need some help, I need support because through all of this I'm a full time caregiver to my mom with dementia and aphasia and I'm opening an art gallery that is women's art focused and everyone who works here is neurodivergent and also femme identifying. In Colorado which is very cowboy art centric place.

I CANNOT move my mother again, I cannot lose this housing.

Bumblebee queens choose to hibernate in pesticide-contaminated soil, scientists discover

An alarming discovery from University of Guelph researchers raises concerns for bumblebee health, survival and reproduction. U of G environm

An alarming discovery from University of Guelph researchers raises concerns for bumblebee health, survival and reproduction. U of G environmental sciences researchers Drs. Nigel Raine and Sabrina Rondeau have found that bumblebee queens are more likely to hibernate in soil contaminated with pesticides than in clean soil—for reasons they still don't quite understand. "Some bee behaviors are not well understood, and we wanted to see if these bumblebee queens exhibited avoidance behavior that might reduce their risk of harm from pesticide exposure in the field," Raine says. "But these results were alarming."
