As a fat person, one thing that would be awesome is if thin people could just get over it. People are fat sometimes. It's fine. Chill. We're not a problem you need to solve, we're just a bunch of people who deserve social equality.

I'm not saying you should be all "I don't see size", just that I'm tired of being met with some form of "but I can't just let you be this way". Yes, you can! I can be fat all day and you can just not worry about it! Look at us go!

I thought the earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds. I slept as never before, a stone on the riverbed, nothing between me and the white fire of the stars but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths among the branches of the perfect trees. All night I heard the small kingdoms breathing around me, the insects, and the birds who do their work in the darkness. All night I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling with a luminous doom. By morning I had vanished at least a dozen times into something better.

There is no reason not to build high speed rail in the US, every major demographic wants it:

The suburban moms weirdly obsessed with Chicago want it

The lesbians in Seattle want it

The gay men in Minneapolis want it

The artists in Philadelphia want it

The polish ecologists want it

The trans women in the bay area want it

The guys who are really into Linux want it

These are amazing — and shockingly accurate. Did you know there’s a “Bechdel test” for female scientist biographies?

#this reminds me on how in my feminist art history course we were to question in mentioning a female artists' biography was relevant #to the topic of discussion or written work. popular point being Kahlo #cause her work is very small because she was often in bed due to her chronic health conditions. #and so often people would mention her husband since he worked in murals which is really relevant to mexican art history #considering the points you choose to make involving biography is so important in professionalism and history studies

When it comes to testimonies of the generations that went through the Nakba, I have compiled a small but very rich list of resources to help keep their testimonies alive.

The website Palestine Remembered has a huge archive of over 600 videos of lengthy testimonies from Nakba survivors that are grouped according to their districts and towns.

The Nakba Archive is a big project conducted by AUB which includes interviews of first generation palestinian refugees in Lebanon.

Almashriq also has voice recordings of testimonies of Palestinian Nakba survivors who were internally displaced and the interviews are grouped according to the area where they were expelled to.

Israeli NGO Zochrot has a database of testimonies including video recordings of Nakba survivors that is regularly updated.

Lastly, written testimonies are equally important and photographer Anne Paq shared her series dedicated to pairing testimonies of Nakba survivors along with photographs of them and their grandchildren.

We all must be committed to keep these stories at the forefront of our discussions on Palestine, despite Israel's constant efforts to bury the truth (both literally and figuratively).
