In case you were wondering: are the campus protests even important? Do they matter? Are they making a difference?

Yes, yes. They are making a difference.

Video transcript (I did my best but missed a few words)

I’m 25 years old. I’ve lived my whole life in Gaza Strip. I’ve never felt hope like now. Never. I mean it’s magical feelings running in my veins right now. In my head, I’m in Gaza city, in the north of Gaza Strip rebuilding my city after this genocide has ended. Even started to dream that my friends from Yafa, Haifa (unsure), majdal, are returning to their cities after being displaced for 75 years. These young heroes in universities at America and around the world are stronger than the last occupation in history. And for the first time in our lives as Palestinians, we hear a voice louder than their voices and the sound of their bombs and even stronger than their control in all aspects of our lives. 

In the 70s, the occupation, Prime Minister said, after decades of killing Palestinians, stealing the lands, establishing the state of Israel over the lands that “the adults will die, and children will definitely forget.” 

Wait. Is that the greatest (unsure) in history? Because it’s children and youth who are leading the movement for a free Palestine. everything they have on the line to demand justice and end of the genocide, and a new era of the world, not based on oppression, exploitation or colonialism. 

Do you know what the best part is? demonstrations and calls for boycott in the academic institutions are not limited to a certain people from certain religion, culture, color, religion, race, or maybe economic level. We are all different so we can no longer be accused of anti-Semitism, serving some agendas from outside, we are just different people calling for the same thing. People to people and people to justice. 

200 days I’ve spent escaping death every single minute were not in vain. And those 40,000 innocent souls were killed during these days were not also in vain. And this is the first time to feel and tell you this. 

Keep going because you are our only hope and we promise we will hold our ground and tell you the truth always. And please, don’t let their violence scare you. In Arabic, we say (Arabic phrase). In English, that means “they don’t have other options, but trying to terrify and silence you” because you are demolishing decades of brainwashing. You are making the change. The real change. Their violence means that we’ve begun to affect them deeply. Believe me, we are in the bottom of this bottle and we’re very very close to the end of this genocide. Maybe even closer than anytime before. Thank you. Thank you for each one of you, because you made us, me and my people feel that we are free. We are heard. We’re going back to our homes, and land. 

(Through tears) I have spent the whole night thinking about every video I see, you shouting for Palestine, you protesting for Palestine, you are dancing, singing for Palestine I feel it here in my head that I am going back. And I am free, and one day, we will celebrate it in, in Gaza together. Keep going and we will too. Salaam. 

(if anyone can help with my transcript, it would be much appreciated!)

transcript: Something I find so fascinating is we keep each other safe. Like, collective safety is a thing, right? So, the more people that talk about Palestine the more safe it becomes to talk about palestine, because the less they can single us out.

But some people have such an individualistic understanding of safety that they're like I'm just gonna protect myself. They're not like oo I'm gonna protect the collective by adding to the voice to the collective so the collective cannot be divided and conquered, you know what I mean?

so as long as we are more difficult to single out, they cannot attack us.

so when you worry about your safety you are playing into the individualistic paradigm that they want you to play into.

But just know, safety was never something you were supposed to give yourself. It was something that we as a collective were ment to give to each other. Some people sleep while others stay awake. We have always as a species protected each other. It is our survival and it is no different, ok?, over here.

Love you, bye.

Moss embroidery time

[Video description: A 20 second video showing the process for embroidering a brown wool coat with green to look like it has moss on it. The first shot is the finished product, then a shot showing materials used, and several shots of french knots being pulled tight. The final shots are a wide shot of the finished product, followed by two close up shots of the embroidered areas. The embroidery is two tones of green in a bunch of little knots clustered together. /end video description]

I had such a good time making this. There was some damage to the lapels so I decided to do some visible mending!

*excited pear eating noises*

Fun fact about rats: they manage to use their teeth to perfectly skin any fruits or veggies with a peel. They’ll leave an intact shell of a single pea, which I don’t think I could even do with my fingers. They’re so talented.

[Video description: a white rat with red eyes and a gray rat with black eyes are sitting next to each other inside of a purple and black sphere. They are each holding a small piece of pear and there are quiet chewing sounds as they eat. End description.]

It might just be because my vocabulary is small, but the sign for the Red party and the signs for Arabic seem weirdly similar.

Both are like a line across your shoulder-head area. Though 2 of the Arabic ones have like finger waving or however you say that

[Description: a screen recording video clip with no audio from the app Tegnordbok. It shows 3 different people showing in total 4 different signs in Norwegian sign language. The signs are labeled in Norwegian book-language, the first sign is labeled "red" (political party), the second is "Arabic one" the third "Arabic two" and the fourth "Arabic three". description end]

(I didn't describe the signs cause I already sorta did, and am not that confident in describing that, but if someone else wants to give it a try I'd add it)

look, look at this beautiful fish

[ID: A video clip of a Florida gar, a long brown-orange fish with darker brown spots, first swimming below the surface of murky green water, then slowly moving closer to the surface. It has a very long nose, and a white tail with spots. Its large eye almost appears blue. For a moment it sticks its head above the water and opens its mouth, then dives back below and out of sight in the murkier deeper water. The only audio is the sound of running water from a drainage pipe. End ID.]

BTW this video is also public domain. do whatever you want with it. Just don't claim you made it lol.

Happy Halloween!

In case anyone was worried, here are Penny’s feelings on this particular holiday

[Video Description: Penny, a brown dog with black stripes, is at the end of a taut leash with her hackles partially raised, evidently trying to get as far away from something as possible. The camera pans around to show a small Halloween garden statue shaped like a pumpkin headed creature with a witch hat, then pans back to Penny, who has fully raised her hackles. End Video Description]

#sound is muted but please be assured she was growling most ferociously at this terrible creature #also I have no clue if my video description is sufficent so if anyone has any constructive criticism please let me know #miss penny #two weird mutts #twoweirdmutts post #described video
