Using dissociate instead of zoning out. Describing a hobby as a hyperfixation. Saying nonverbal when you want a bit of quiet. Saying intrusive thoughts because that must mean an urge like to buy coffee or hair dye. Do you know feeling off sometimes is a sign of autism? Lying is gaslighting. Everyone I dislike is a narcissist.

I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.

When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.

They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸

listen

even if you love being at home and you don't like going outside and you just want to spend all your time at home (which is totally ok!) it's still healthy to leave the house every once in a while if you can.

if you go outside, it means you get to do this thing called "going home" at the end of the trip, which is pretty neat. you don't get to "go home" if you're always home already.

going home is good for you and it's good for your home. it gives your home a chance to do its job, which is to welcome you back into safety and privacy after an adventure in the outside world. you get to shut out all of the other parts of your life that shouldn't be intruding on your personal time.

if your entire life happens inside your home, you're bringing all that stuff inside with you, you don't get to physically shut out stressors, and you never get to experience the relief of leaving your busy day behind as you shut the front door behind you.

this is part of why mental health walks, going to the grocery store, or sitting on your porch are good for you. it's not so much what you do when you're outside that matters, but the being away from home and then coming back to it. going outside improves your quality of life and it makes being at home much more comfortable.

“How can you be Jewish and support Palestine???”

It’s easy really. Other than having a soul, it’s because when the Nazis had our people in ghettos, when we were sent to death camps, when we asked for help and nobody listened. We know what it’s like to be begging for someone to listen. Because we know what the pain of loss, of starvation, of losing your home, of being mocked and dehumanised and othered feels like. Because we know that no life is above anothers.

a protester in toronto who dons a spiderman suit and climbs onto various buildings waving a palestinian flag has caused canadian politicians across the entire spectrum to claim that them climbing onto the mt sinai hospital was an act of anti-semitism. they are all using virtually the same verbage.

here’s a shitty CBC article about it

this is a normal and often used route for marches in toronto. politicians who have previously “called” for a ceasefire are now being wilfully ignorant about what anti-semitism means. they take you to be a dense idiot. they never gave two shits about palestinian liberation. they want to maintain the status quo of the colonial war machine.

your faith in these systems and structures must dissipate. it is urgent. divesting your money from the colonial war machine is the minimum. economic blockades are mandatory. disruption is the core. do not spend your breaths talking about fucking voting ever again. that is not organizing! that is participating in the status quo. voting is not activism. it’s what you’re expected to fucking do. i don’t care if you do it, i do care if you pretend it’s a revolutionary act. look at every “representational” person elected and how quickly they turned their backs on you and the palestinian people.

every day politicians, cops, colonizers, and capitalist dangle a rotting carrot in front of you. when will you learn that the rot is irreversible?

“I want you to do this with me for one month. One month. Write 10 observations a week and by the end of four weeks, you will have an answer. Because when someone writes about the rustic gutter and the water pouring through it onto the muddy grass, the real pours into the room. And it’s thrilling. We’re all enlivened by it. We don’t have to find more than the rustic gutter and the muddy grass and the pouring cold water.”
