If you're asking "why are western christians not condemning the bombing of palestinian churches?!" I would highly recommend researching and reading up on the term "Biblical Orientalism"; it's the same reason European and American missionaries have attempted to "convert" the already Christian Arab population.

If you've already figured out that the answer is racism, you'd be right, but I would still recommend reading about biblical orientalism if only to fully understand this specific flavor of racism, how it affects Christian Palestinians, and how it is weaponized in the context of Zionism.

#there's a book by david grafton that covers it but i don't know where to direct you to to get it atm. i'll get back to you! #there's a free paper by lorenzo kamel called 'the impact of biblical orientalism' on academia.edu #if academia.edu is being a pain in the ass to you as it often does dm me and i'll send you a pdf! #in short - no. christian zionists aren't 'hypocrites'. this is perfectly in line with their values. unfortunately. #palestine

i still can't believe there are folks who say "well GTN is annoying but you just have to get through it and then the other books aren't like that so you'll be fine."

personally i have been chasing the high of GTN ever since i first closed the book

#yes i love HTN but to me it was a slog! honestly pacing is not strong in any of these books #they're chock-full of reread value but unless you are looking deeper like that tbh not much happens plot-wise in each book #and HTN is the worst culprit because you get basically harrow just being miserable on the mithraeum for four acts #interspersed with chapters that are a different version of something you already read #the way i love each book is very different but GTN was FUN #you know?? #i miss it #(i miss her. gideon my dumb baby come back to me) #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #nonasbirthday

I miss you blockbuster I miss you cds I miss you little buttons that played song previews in walmart I miss you vhs tapes I miss you blocky tv with rabbit ears that only had 10 channels I miss you scratched dvds from the library I miss you envelopes of developed photos from a film camera I miss you flip phones covered in stickers I miss you physical media

#edit for clarification: I do still engage in physical media. i know many of these things are still around today #i still buy cds and vinyl and read paper books from the library and I own a film camera #this is moreso about the culture as a whole shifting to value convenience over experience #listening to cds on my own will not change the culture back to when physical media was the norm for everyone #I’m a nostalgia-ridden person there’s a specific feeling I’m missing that I can’t achieve by myself #g

Theres something about big booktoker/booktuber shelves that really heebies my jeebies

#its the all new everything #the identical matching hardback covers #of books that every other bookwhatever has #its the long rows of illumicrate botm etc editions #wheres the old favourites? the books so loved through youve sellotaped the covers on #but still refuse to throw away? #wheres the ugly impulse purchase thrift finds that just sounded too intriguing to leave #wheres the mismatched series bc you couldnt wait to read the next book #wheres the hand me downs that you dont like that much but have so much sentimental value #your old childrens books? your textbooks bc you got really into a subject for no reason? #the library book you forgot to return 5 yeads ago and is just yours now oops #yknow. the books that make your shelf look like it belongs to a human #instead of something an ai spat out

made an interesting find, as somebody who enjoys vintage art. the famous artists course, dating from i thiiiiink 1948? really fascinating look into style conventions, and a good way to break down what makes something look 'retro'. mostly geared towards advertisements and, fair warning, very Of Their Time, but cool bits of history

#text post #art resources #this excerpt is from book 13 if you want to skip to it #if you're a confident/intermediate artist you can skip the first few it's stuff like value and composition #but all really interesting

I don’t like when people ask how many books you plan to read/have read this year one because I think that’s a weird relationship to have to books and two because I think even reading a chapter or a portion of something is valuable. this is especially true with non-fiction but even with fiction I think any amount you read, even if you don’t read the entire thing, is not a failure or ‘incomplete’

#I read basically exclusively non fiction and every page I read is beneficial like I’m always learning something #like my relationship to reading is often extractive and utilitarian because of school and research #but that extractive process doesn’t require reading the whole text like 99.9% of the time #I’ve only read a third of Orientalism for example but like I have a good grasp of Said’s core arguments and concepts #and like part of how I finished authoritarian personality (a 1000 page book) was by skipping & skimming sections #like the whole is not always more valuable than its components #and also like ‘I read this book to complete it’ is not an insincere way to engage with a text but I feel like it’s limiting #if that’s your primary approach to reading. Like you read a book just to say you read it #& also more petty but I think that if your argument or thesis only works if people read 100% of your book then you’re doing a poor job #of getting your point across #again obviously it’s valuable to read and process whole complete texts not dismissing that but like #I don’t find a lot of inherent value in reading a book just to complete it u know
