Do it for the (cell) culture (dish)

We're in the home stretch of the holiday season, folks. The egg nog will soon be taken from us, the wrapping paper is ready to be thrown in the back of the closet, and it is hopefully almost time for you to rest, relax and focus on yourself.

Just like those tiny organisms flourish in their nutrient-rich environment, we too bask in the joys of vegging out, allowing our stress levels to diminish and our spirits to thrive. Just as the cultures in the dish spread and develop, so do our holiday vibes, expanding with each delightful moment of indulgence, whether it's binge-watching favorite shows, savoring festive treats, or simply lounging in comfort. As the Petri dish cultures multiply and evolve, so do our holiday experiences, multiplying into delightful memories that enrich our lives like a blossoming experiment under the microscope of joyous moments.

Enough heavy-handed metaphors and similes. Let's get on with it.

If any of you ever feel like what you're doing for Palestine isn't helping anything, I'll tell you right now it's helping me. I know it is fortifying all of us who have been in this fight for years to see so many people willing to speak up. It has never been like this before.

The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.

Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how "the blame" is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.

Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.

We see you. We see you standing in solidarity with us and with Palestinians. We love you. Thank you.

I am okay, I tell myself. I will be okay.

Funny how a letter from your family can send you into a spiral just like that.

when we try to befriend cats we mimic their meows and get down on the ground to their level and try to gently coax them to interact with us right

that horrifying entity mimicking human noises at us maybe just thinks we’re cool and wants to pet us?

I was thinking "oh but I can't be autistic, I'm so good at eye contact and small talk! I know all the right ratios for looking/not looking and asking/answering questions! I even know the best posture to communicate low-stakes friendliness (about 15 degrees from facing them. weight on one leg. 70% eye contact. still hands.) everybody says I'm great!" before realizing I may be refuting my own point
