What To Look Forward To This Summer

———

king of cups - the emperor - the moon - nine of pentacles - five of cups

king of cups - the emperor - the moon - nine of pentacles - five of cups

so what i’m seeing pile 1 is you will be more emotionally stable. you’ll be very emotionally balanced. the energy i picked up was that you seemed to have dealt with mental health issues in the past and this has affected your social life. this then causes you to sort of exclude yourself and hide away from the world. maybe your last few summers have been really boring or not that special, well this summer will be a change. i’m not necessarily seeing you meet new people, i see you more sticking to the people closest to you. however, you will become more open to explore and converse with your friends interest. i’m seeing that you, again, won’t open up completely but you will be able to sense a shift in your mood. i honestly see this summer being a lot more fun and outdoorsy then previous summers. especially with your friends being your biggest mvps.

also something to add… while i was shuffling i heard ‘more stable love life’ this could be platonic or romantic but i was sensing more romantic… for some of you this will be big lol!

PILE 2

———

eight of pentacles - the world - queen of cups - justice - the hanged man

so for like 2 i’m seeing you as a very creative pile. i see that this summer some of you may be taking summer jobs, or you may have been granted a new job that you start in the future? something abt jobs and making money? i see this will be an amazing opportunity for you to meet new people, which is exactly what you’ll do. pile 2 i’m seeing that you will be having a lot of stuff put on you at once possibly and this may become overwhelming at times, however this is only because people see you as having lots of potential. i’m seeing this pile as a possible a gifted pile? maybe you’re known for being smart or being able to bring your creativity to life. another thing to add is some of pile 2 will be traveling this summer. i’m seeing out of state or across the country! don’t be anxious about this! this will be an amazing opportunity for you to meet lots of new people and start bonds. you will have lots of fun this summer and this will be a great learning curve for some of you.

PILE 3

———

6 of cups - king of wands - knight of wands - queen of cups - 4 of pentacles

so basically for this pile i’m sensing some of you may be very sporty? or you may just be doing a lot of stuff this summer. i’m getting the feeling that you will be involved with some clubs or some sports that involve interaction and training. lots of activities. i’m really getting the feeling that this pile finds comfort in these activities. i’m sensing some of you may have not had the opportunity to do any of these things or you haven’t had the motivation to in the past. lucky for you, i’m seeing that you will have to have a strong mindset and clear understanding of the world ahead of you. this summer will be a time where you can really express and act on your interest. it will be something so new but so fun for you to do.

i'm gonna go one step further and say it's actively good to engage with media you have fundamental ideological disagreements with, especially when you use that as a testing ground to conceptualize your own worldview and help you crystalize your perspective on things

Alright let's imagine a scene that is all too normal in palestine. A palestinian business owner finds his building covered in graffiti stars of Davids and Hebrew that says "gas the arabs" and "death to arabs"

Now imagine there's a reporter there and asks the palestinian business owner what happens and they say "the jews attacked my business"

Pause. Now your response might be "uncle no. Say israelis not jews" and then this is when he would look at you like youre stupid because the israelis doing this are jewish. They are not the Christians or the druze or the palestinian ones with Israeli citizenship. They are Jewish israelis who believe in their religious supremacy. When you graffiti stars of david all over a palestinian business, car, or the street you seek that conflation. it sends a message, this is jewish land and you're next.

The problem is that these videos circulate in zionist circles. "Watch this video of children in gaza calling for the death of jews" "watch how they say they want to fight and kill jews" those children are referring to Israeli soldiers that come in night and do their raids with the star of David attached to their uniform or the ones that bomb them. It's easy to watch those videos and assume that palestinians are indoctrinating their children on anti semitism or you can realize that those children's only interaction with jewish ppl is through violence and parents cannot protect their children from this. Doesn't matter context is lost

Abby Martin went to Jerusalem and interviewed israelis for 2 hours and she says every israeli was extremely confident to say that this land is for them and that they should push the Arabs out and when she interviewed palestinians they spoke of freedom from occupation and their dreams. That's reality. Not the soundbites.

And yet we have invasive youtubers and interviewers constantly in the street of ramallah or wherever in palestine asking palestinians "do you hate jews?" And in those videos you hear those palestinians say "no we have no problem with jews we have a problem with occupation and we have a problem with zionism." Bc this is how we are trained to respond to this trope. Palestinians are very aware what the world thinks of us and the reality is that many palestinians have internalized it and we grow up reading books on the Holocaust and train ourselves to recognize anti semitic dog whistles so zionists don't get the soundbites they want.

So we say "anti zionism is not anti semitism" and we say "israeli zionists" and we do not say "jewish supremacy" even thought it exists in palestine but "zionist supremacy" and in these carefully worded speech we water down what is happening to us in an effort to not deter people away from solidarity. But it means nothing. The world categorically blames palestinians for rising anti semitism they blame us for jewish insecurity globally.
