I feel most relationships to me are situationships and I always leave sad it never got to be an actual relationship and I feel used and lonely in my grief can I get a web weaving capturing those feelings?

Ngl I really don’t like how the Ulster name has been dirtied and tainted by colonialism and loyalist fuckery.

It’s a province of Ireland, not some stupid colonial outpost.

I think back to how the British mandate described its ideal future for Israel and Palestine.

“A little Jewish Ulster in a sea of hostile Arabism.” Don’t make me get sick into mine own SCORN!

Israel and Palestine deserved better than to become some British colonial vanity project.

Kindly perish the thought that they were helping to build a nation.

(bUt ThEy mADe ThE dEsErT bLoOm¡)

That kind of thinking is antisemitic bullshit borne of the brainrot of British Israelism (an antisemitic supersessionist cult mentality, look it up) and colonial arrogance.

(At least you can see where Loyalism gets it from)

And besides, Israel is nothing of the sort. (Plus that thinking ignores all the non Arab peoples in the area. Assyrians, Maronites, Kurds, Yazidis, etc)

(They don’t owe the British any such loyalty. They never did. Nor did the Palestinians. (No I’m not justifying the actions of arabs who collaborated with Nazis! Shut up!) And nor did my own ilk.)

Or ought not to be. (Shut up about the 2018 Nation State Bill)

It OUGHT to be better.

At the least.

It’s appropriation, textbook.

It would be like if the Turkish government in the western armenian region proclaimed themselves the successors to Armenia and started calling the place New Ararat or something.

Not exactly an apt comparison admittedly but my point remains.

帰国日の朝7時から、希望者は展望台でアララト山を見ましょうとのことでしたが、欲張りな私はマザー像の展望台で夜明けの瞬間が見たいので、7時出発では間に合いません笑

…ということで、5時起床、帰国に備えた荷造りを施し、スーツケースを部屋の外に置いた状態で単独で行ってきました。こういうときに我が身の協調性の無さを感じます…

6:20　ホテルを出発です👣

6:40　世の中が明るくなっていきます。ほとんどの人達がランニングや犬の散歩でした。アララト山の方向が分からずにいたら、犬の散歩しているおじいさんがいたので、アララト山の方向を尋ねたら、この先だそうです。

今日は見えないの～～泣！？

半ば諦めて周囲を撮影して回っていたら…

7:08　アララト山がうっすらですが見えました！

その３分後は小アララトのシルエットも✨

ちょうど、マザー像を見に来たという中国人のおじさんがいたので、マザー像を背景に記念撮影を手伝ったお礼に私も撮ってもらいました。

谢谢(Thank you)♪

名残惜しいですが、マザー像を後にします…。

黄葉と夜明けの色合いもきれいでした🍁

公園の入り口に出たところで、ツアーの人達とばったり。

皆さんもこれからホテルに帰るそうです。

The Ark Rests on Ararat

But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside. The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained. The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground. But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.

Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

Then God said to Noah, “Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives. Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”

So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar. When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.” — Genesis 8 | The Reader’s Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible.
