Asking for professional references is the most embarrassing thing on planet earth. "Hi can you tell people I'm smart and nice and pretty" what if we all just ran out into the streets and rent our garments publically

The White Stairs This amazing site is a beach in southern Sicily known as Scala dei Turchi. It is a popular beach and tourist destination, both for the views and for the water, which is rich in sedimentary mud coming from the exposed outcrop.

I love u 85 million acres (bigger than italy) of national parks. I love u harlem renaissance. I love u groundhogs day. I love u sweet tea and fried chicken and jambalaya. I love u apple cider donuts and maizes on crisp autumn days. I love u 95k miles of coastlines and new england fisherman and hand knitted sweaters. I love u halloween where millions of people dress up and give candy to strangers and carve jack o’lanterns. I love u small talk and small towns and potlucks and bringing over casseroles to your struggling neighbors. I love u cowboys and ranch hands and arizonian cactus. I love u appalachian trail and dirtbikes and divebars. I love u sparklers and fireflies. I love u mark twain and toni morrison and emily dickinson and henry david thoreau. I love u rock n roll i love u bluegrass and hippies i love u jimi hendrix and nirvana and CCR and janis joplin. I love u victorian houses and jonny appleseed and john henry and mothman and bigfoot.

I hardly know how to navigate all of this- emotionally and intellectually. I'm Jewish. If someone asked me if I think Jews ought to have a right to self-determination, of course I'd say yes. After everything that has happened throughout history, the fact that there exists a Jewish state is incredible, seems like a miracle. But why like this? Why at the cost of subjugation? At the cost of so much war? At the cost of so, so, so much death, all these years? "Why like this, why like this?"

I feel like that's all I can ask right now. Why is it like this?

And I want to add: My peers, my fellow people that want the world to be a safe and just place, whether you support the Israeli government, whether you support Palestinians, whether you don't support the Israeli government but want there to be a Jewish state or two states, whatever your views are- my god, please don't forget your humanity. Please do not celebrate civilian deaths. Please don't sneer at people's pain, even if they lie on the other side of the debate from you. I know mothers whose sons have been called to war on the side of Israel, grandmothers whose small grandchildren are hiding in bomb shelters on the other side of the world, Muslim friends whose family are in Gaza and have not been heard from in days. Please, please, please just... don't.

Even as I say this, I know some people might respond with outrage. But there are many people- well-meaning people- participating in these conversations without direct ties, without much knowledge beyong some instagram infographics, who are treating this like some sort of theoretical social justice exercise. This is real. I know many of you are against Israel, but don't dismiss your Jewish friend's pain (and don't assume that Jewish=pro-Israel). I know many of you are against Palestinians, but don't dismiss their pain. Just... don't forget your humanity. I don't know how I can express this without upsetting people, I know that it's possible I just sound like I'm saying "why can't we all be nice!"- that's not what I'm trying to convey. Just keep some sympathy with you. I understand that we must draw lines as to how far we can extend that sympathy. Loss is loss, though. Keep that sympathy with you as far as you can.

#israel #palestine #and before anyone jumps down my throat as everyone is wont to do online: per the first paragraph I clearly am disgusted at Israel's #subjugation of palestinians into second class citizens deprived of the same freedoms as Israeli Jews #and I am working as hard as I can to be informed #if you're going to come into the replies or my inbox please know I am very interested in knowing your views and that I'm a person with #with feelings
