'Despite all the pain and grief Gaza lights up to welcome Ramadan'

This is 74 year old Canadian Israeli Peace activist Vivian Silver.

Silver dedicated her life to promoting peace. she co-founded Women Wage Peace, an interfaith grassroots organization, and was a board member of the human rights organization "Bzelem". she volunteered in "On the Way to Recovery," accompanying cancer patients from the Gaza Strip to hospitals in Israel. she was co-CEO at Ajik - an Arab-Jewish organization working since 2000 to support Bedouin society in the Negev and promote shared life for Arabs and Jews throughout the country.

When asked about her aspirations for the future of her grandchildren, she said, "May they have Arab friends, Palestinians. May they not be afraid."

On October 4th 2023, Silver helped to organize a peace rally in Jerusalem which attracted 1,500 Israeli and Palestinian women.

The last connection with her was on the morning of october 7th, when she hid in a closet and texted her son. she wrote "well, the terrorists are in my house". he wrote "i'm on your side". "i feel you" she answered.

She was believed to be kidnapped, but today, 38 days later, her body was identified.

May this kind soul rest in peace. The mind can't comprehend that this was her fate. Thank you for everything you did. May we will get to witness something of your aspirations come true in our lifetime.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Conservatives are evil.

Conservatives are evil.

CONSERVATIVES ARE EVIL.

A Klee painting named “Angelus Novus” shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them. This storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.

Walter Benjamin, “Theses on the Philosophy of History” (written 1940)

Kai: Why does it matter who I find attractive? It’s all incredibly surface-level anyway. Look, what I’m trying to say is… I have a bit of a secret.

[ leaves rustling ]

Kai: I didn’t always like my best friend. 

Frances: I’m not playing.

Dan: Kai? Atlas?

Atlas: Oh god, I guess.

Kai: Count me in.

Dan: Arlight. Kai, you start. Spin. 

Kai: Fine, fine. 

Atlas: [ snorts ] Why do you look so scared, Castillo? I promise, I’ll be gentle. 

Kai: [ rolls eyes ] Come here. 

Dan: Yooo! 

Atlas: Hehe.

Frances: They actually…

Kai: It’s such a far-fetched idea, at least I’m self-aware. Why Atlas insisted on meeting me with such tenderness, I don’t know. I do know that it changed everything. [ bell dings ]

Alex: Kai?

took me a minute to realize that adam offering charlie ribs was a biblical AND misogynistic reference. for reference, the bible says that eve was made when god removed a rib from adam and formed it into a human (or something strange like that). there was man... and rib. I'm really appreciating how misogynistic they made him and am curious about where that will go. Also wondering about where the story overall will go, in our current context of actual genocide happening while we all witness it. What will the story overall say about resistance to genocide?

Sorry amber heard. Even you don’t deserve to be compared to the terrorist state of Israel.
