Re-read the book and remembered that actually no one refers to Heathcliff as Cathy's or Hindley's brother, like, ever, even at the time mr. Earnshaw was alive. So, the interpretation of Heathcliff and Cathy's relationship as symbolically incestuous is completely out of the left field. However, if you read the Wuthering Heights as a sort of family saga where the broader themes are developed in different ways through different generations of one family, Heathcliff is absolutely a part of Earnshaw clan with its core theme of being unforgiving and vengeful. And I am adamant that in that sense Nelly is also an Earnshaw sibling.

(plus her being Hindley's foster sister because her mother nursed Hindley, which makes her care about Hindley and Hareton a lot despite them both being horrible. She is kind of mirroring Cathy in that way).

This is the opposite of a glow up for me personally. I feel offended by this. Look at gandalf the grey!!! The hat, the wild hair, the bushy brows, and the mischievous glint in his eyes!!!!! Character design of all time! And then. Then he becomes gandalf the white, and he has slick white hair 🤮 he looks like a cult leader 🤮🤮 why would you do that to him???

Also, in the movies, he becomes very serious. I don't like that at all. In the books, sure, he isn't the same either, but he doesn't feel like a different person completely.

On a spiritual level, it's as though with my sighted eye I see what's before me, and with my unsighted eye I see what's hidden. It's illuminated life more than darkened it.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

I was at a Palestinian solidarity gig last night & the one Palestinian artist who was going to perform had COVID so the organisers asked around to see if there were any Palestinians who'd like to say a few words instead.

A local guy who was born & raised in Gaza offered to speak. He started with "I'm an engineer. i'm not a poet or a politician. I don't... do public speaking… I had no idea what to say when I came up here. So i'm just going to tell you about the street I grew up on."

And then he did! He went down the street building by building. He told us about the ice cream shop on the corner, the grocery shop, the charity that supports people with intellectual disabilities. He told us about the people who he knew growing up, the families who still live in the different houses. He told us about the university buildings and about his friends who quit being accountants to start a band together. All on that street.

All of which is gone now, by the way. Bombed to dust.
