Jake: You’re Pretty Dumb.

Jake: *sneezes*

Isa:

Jake: You’re not even going to say ‘bless you’?

Isa: I’m sitting here with you, you’ve clearly been blessed.

A Reminder

Palestine is not over. Palestine is not dead. Gaza, the West Bank, the entire region between the river and the sea, and the various countries across the world where refugees have fled to, house a surviving people and surviving culture. Palestine is not dead, and WILL NOT die.

I'm seeing a lot of very valid despair online, but if you're someone like me, living a privileged life in a Western country NOT under active bombardment, and which is actually COMPLICIT to some degree in that bombardment: we don't get to give up. Not now, not ever.

You can still get involved in protests or direct actions (e.g. blocking supply), you can still donate eSims or fund UNRWA on your government's behalf, you can still hassle the crap out of your local MP. No, it won't roll back the harm that's already been committed, but all of those things are STILL WORTH DOING. PEOPLE ARE STILL ALIVE OVER THERE. PALESTINE IS STILL WORTH SAVING.

If you've bothered to read this far, you're probably already aware of what's going on over there right now. If not, check out Al Jazeera's fantastic coverage. But also remember that Palestine, and Palestinian culture, is more than just death and despair. Examples below:

Long live Palestine, from the river to the sea.

Isa: I get my cereal from a tiger, insurance from a gecko, toilet paper from a bear, financial advice from a gorilla. It's people I don't trust.

Isa: Kai told me that brown is just navy orange, and I have never been more disappointed with something I agree with.

i swear there’s so much porn bots following me :/

Jake: Deaf animals have absolutely no concept of noise or the fact that anything else can hear.

Isa: But deaf humans have concept of noise, stupid. They know they’re deaf.

Isa: My love for you is like dirty socks.

Jake: You know what, I’m tired of these weird-.

Isa: It’s worth washing.

Jake: *tearing up* Okay.

Jake: If you turn a pizza inside out, is it still called a pizza or?

Isa: That’s technically spaghetti.

"hurts like heaven, lost in the sound."

i'm so tired of love songs
