Hi there, I'm sorry to ask again but we don't have enough to get a case of water and a few other necessities, I'm only asking for 10 or so if it's okay.
there was backlash from homeschooling "parents rights" advocates in my area before because of a daycare teaching kids about consent...all they learned is that you don't have to accept unwanted physical intimacy. one scenario that happened is a parent told her toddler boy to kiss a toddler girl in class. toddler boy comes back and says that toddler girl didn't want a kiss. it turns out the kids were taught that you don't touch someone if they say "no". parents thought this was ridiculous. I felt crazy hearing them talk about it, why in the world would you be upset by kids respecting each others boundaries, and why are you asking your toddlers to kiss each other in the first place as if they're toys and not human beings?
I think one of my favorite creative joys is seeing how many different things people can do with the same concept. give ten writers the same starting point, or basic plot, or set of tropes to use and you're still going to get wildly different end results
the details you focus on, the ones you omit, turns of phrase, tone, and framing, the cadence and tempo of the sentences themselves, all the little fingerprints you've left littered across the prose — how you tell the story matters, and your personal voice is what makes it unique
If you go to the doctor putting no effort into your appearance and looking as sick as you feel, they’ll be like “Hmm…this person is a mess. Possibly indicative of a mental health issue or drug-seeking behavior. No reason to take anything they say seriously.”
If you show up to your doctor’s appointment well groomed and well dressed, they’ll be like “They’re saying they feel very poorly but they look good and have the energy to style themself well so I’m not going to take anything they say seriously.”
So you have to guess what a respectable sick person looks like and arrive looking like that. And don’t even think of dressing alternatively.
The traditional and iconic keffiyeh is worn to represent Palestine everywhere we go and to stand in solidarity with our righteous cause and It's people. It consists of three main patterns: a fishnet to represent abundance, grace, and freedom. Sea Waves to represent strength and resilience after 73 years under military occupation. The Bold Lines represent the trade roles which have played a vital role in Palestine’s history and culture. - Handmade in Palestine
