The sick reality is that many of the renowned academics and writers among Gaza's thousands of martyrs will, in twenty years time, be quoted and memorialised by the same universities and institutions that have denigrated them and enabled their slaughter.

Yuka Orihara / Juho Pirinen: Madonna Medley | Montreal 2024

choreography: Massimo Scali, Luca Lanotte, Nicolò Tacchetto, Sini Parkkinen This was the pair's debut at World Championships. Orihara and Pirinen on their goals in skating (for Europe on Ice): J: “Of course, everybody wants to be world champion. <...> Of course, we want medals, and go as high as we can and I think we have the potential to do it.” Y: “I also know that it’s not everything about the results”. J: “Our coach Maurizio says that we are able to entertain the audience so that’s our strong side. One goal would be that we want to be remembered by the audience because there are champions that the audience doesn’t remember and then there are couples or skaters who were not champions, but they still are remembered because they were something special. I think that’s something special we want too.”

Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don’t see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It’s so beautiful, the moon. They’re so beautiful, the flowers.

so apparently both the linear b tablets and homer (il. V.722) reveal that chariots were very often stored and transported in pieces, meaning that they were easy to assemble and take apart whenever necessary

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

the fact that we need 8 hours of sleep is ridiculous we should only need 4 and the other 4 should be used to be cozy in your bed and rub your legs together like a cricket and listen to music and think about your little scenarios
