Before Israel killed him, Palestinian scholar Refaat Al Areer wrote to his daughter:

If I must die

you must live

to tell my story

Yesterday Israel killed his daughter Al-Shaymaa along with her husband and baby.

Who is going to tell Refaat and Shayma's story? Who's going to continue to tell the world how Israel obliterated entire bloodlines?

Refaat's poem continues to say

If I must die

let it bring hope

let it be a tale

We must promise to keep the tale alive and to uphold the legacy of Refaat, Shayma and the 40,000 others who were murdered by Israel in its ongoing genocide.

Try as they might, but Palestine will never die.

History of Step

What is Stepping?

What is Step?

Stepping or step dancing is “a percussive dance in which the participant’s body is used to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand-claps,” writes the African American Registry.

Step has its origins in Africa, as dancing has been a large part of traditional African culture for centuries.

Calling Step a "bizarre silent dance without music" has to be one of the wilder antiblack racist descriptions I've ever heard of stepping lmao. Anyway if you see the video, it's step!!! They're stepping!! It's a Black American form of dance!!

louis exploring his sexuality in paris is him owning back his power in a sexual and emotional way when he wasn't doing with lestat before that. contrary to lestat who hid his powers, so his relationship with louis seemed equal, armand doesn't need to do that. he's clearly more powerful than louis, his status as the predator and king of the vampiric food chain is established but it has always been important to louis the question was never about being as powerful as his immortal companion. louis wanted the power for himself, sure, but the issue of his companion being more powerful wasn't the issue. it was that no matter what, they would treat each other as equals and not use their powers against each other to harm. emotional, intellectual equality was always louis' goal. he wanted to be seen, he wanted to be understood, to share everything so the exchange was always on equal footing. he wanted to be open and vulnerable and be able for his lover to do the same with him.

imagine the apex predator, who could literally destroy everything and anyone, let himself be vulnerable and putting himself into louis' hands. you can do to me anything you want, i'm laying bare for you, as i would want you to do with me. talk about an aphrodisiac for louis! the power laying in louis' hands, with armand showing him all of his abilities, would be a very big motivational factor for their dynamic. the megalodon shows its belly, louis never forgets about his giant set of teeth but it will never bite him. he has the power now.

would you be able to do a romantic scene with jensen given how close you are?

‘it’d be awkward. jensen is pretty attracted to me, he wouldn’t be able to differentiate between me and cas. sometimes when we hug, i’m like your pelvis is a little close’

This bloodbath has gone on for far too long. At the start of this aggression, the school year had barely just started. The academic year ends in just a month. Everyone, from first graders to university seniors, have lost an entire year at least. I say at least considering even if there is a ceasefire today, Israel had destroyed literally all universities in Gaza and damaged over 400 schools. Lest we forget also Israel's deliberate targeting of university professors and academics.

You absolutely cannot mistake the intent behind all of this.
