Just wanted to say that when I saw the news about the sun spots and solar activity this weekend, my immediate thought was "oh, guess Dairine and Roshaun and Filif and Sker'ret are up there fixing things up again," and that made me happy to think about.
Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.
For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.
I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.
I genuinely hope American media sucks for a while! I hope the big companies keep trying to churn out shit and that it’s all embarrassing garbage! I want it to be extremely apparent to everyone how important the writers and actors are to create good media and that they deserve to be compensated appropriately!!!
The farmer who came to deliver my hay tonight helped me roll the bales into the barn, then took a few steps back and contemplated my house & the woods behind it in silence for a few seconds, then said quietly without looking at me:
"Don't let the forest win."
Which, said by a wistful old man on a chilly, stormy evening with the wind whispering through the trees all around us, was the single most ominous piece of advice I've ever received.
so they're doing a "ceasefire" aka a "pause in the killing" (don't believe that for a second) expecting, what? that everyone's going to stop calling for the end of the occupation the apartheid etc once they resume bombing gaza and murderering palestinians in the west bank??? do i have that right???
Zionist Israelis settlers are performing one of the most visceral acts of psychic sadism; through the cannibalization of the Palestinian collective call to liberation, they are again finding destructive ways to add to the disappearing of the Palestian population, as "there" human beings. It wants to foreclose the Palestinian imagination about its own liberation by turning it into a thinly veiled genocidal threat. AND IT ISN'T A FUCKING SLOGAN.
