Maturity is not seeking revenge. It's healing and moving on, so you don’t become like the people who traumatized you.

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

“All of the children of Adam are sinners, and the best sinners are those who repent.”

Poem by Langston Hughes

I loved my friend. He went away from me. There's nothing more to say. The poem ends, Soft as it began,— I loved my friend.

“And I’m mocked by friends who say, ‘What use is poetry? What use will it be when the war ends?’ But I’m screaming at a moment when screams can go nowhere. And it strikes me that language must force itself into a battle in which voices are not equal. (…) —But what are you writing? ‘I’m stammering out a scream,’ I answer.”

— Mahmoud Darwish, from Memory for Forgetfulness: August, Beirut, 1982 (tr. Ibrahim Muhawi)

100% hope that anyone who supports Israel or condones the genocide of Palestinians or smiles at the murder and torture of Palestinian civilians is so haunted for the rest of their lives that they don't have a moment's peace. I hope, genuinely, that their faces haunt you every night for the rest of your life.

This is a really important film about the Nakba (literally “catastrophe” in Arabic) of 1948, when Zionists killed and kicked out approximately 800,000 Palestinians from their home.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸
