I saw that the Jewish and Muslim students at Columbia protected each other as they had Shabbat and evening prayers on Friday. This is what all the world should be. Helping and loving each other. Being respectful to others religious beliefs even when yours are different.
Ahmad Abdel Rahman says if bakeries had not re-opened their doors, many Palestinians would have been on the verge of losing their families to hunger. “We lived through difficult days, and no one looked at us. We were dying every day from starvation, from bombing, and from running behind the aid parachutes that the planes dropped over us.

I made three vids for Festivids this year! This one was a gift for livrelibre, and it's a vid for Poker Face, the Rian Johnson show where Natasha Lyonne plays a person who can tell when anyone is lying. What I loved most about this show was the solidarity and compassion: although Charlie is homeless and on the run, she finds people who care for her and help her, and she shows them that same kindness in return, even (especially) when the only thing she can do is try to get them justice after their deaths. It's a show about truth but more than that it's a show about feeling compassion even in the face of knowing the truth, and I love that. So I wanted to make a vid about that idea!
