something my mum always taught us was to look for the resources we're entitled to, and use them. public land? know your access rights and responsibilities, go there and exercise them. libraries? go there and talk to librarians and read community notice boards, find out what other people are doing around you, ask questions, use the printers. public records offices? go in there, learn what they hold and what you can access, look at old maps, get your full birth certificate copied, check out the census from your neighbourhood a hundred years ago. are you entitled to social support? find out, take it, use it. does the local art college have facilities open to the public? go in, look around, check out their exhibit on ancient looms or whatever, shop in their campus art supply store. it applies online too, there is so much shit in the world that belongs to the public commons that you can access and use if you just take a minute to wonder what might exist!!!

To be completely honest, if the current state of reproductive healthcare in the US hasn’t convinced you that electing democrats over republicans is imperative regardless of how imperfect the democratic party may be, then at this point I kind of have to assume that you don’t care if pregnant women in red states live or die. That or you’re choosing to keep yourself in the dark about both the causes and effects of anti-abortion legislation.

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

Can I ask why you aren’t over UNESCO Heritage sites? Like, what ones did they specifically appropriate from Jews (like, the names of the sites and what they did and all that). I’m honestly trying to learn more about supercessionism and if there are any sites I think of as Christian or Muslim but are actually Jewish, so I’d appreciate the help!

Hopefully these articles will help to explain.

as a knitter, you start to notice how rare it is for characters in tv shows and movies to knit correctly. from worst to best, it ranges from:

- laughably incorrect, just flinging yarn around

- knitting the most basic scarf incredibly slowly because the actor Learned How To Do It For The Role

- old lady actresses casually knitting an intricate lace pattern while doing a monologue

- gromit from wallace and gromit

If they were protesting israel, why did they protest in front of a synagogue during shabat, of all days?

In the spirit of recent events, I would like to share these photos of Marlon Brando's Mark Antony and Louis Calhern's Caesar sharing doughnuts and coffee, post-Incident. It's important to replace all the fluids you lose after you've been stabbed a couple of times!

yeah man if you can't differentiate the very clear and massive gulf between the values expressed in "ceasefire now" and "all children deserve to grow up" vs "globalize the intifada" or "we stand with hamas" I really don't know what to tell you

#ceasefire goes both ways #politics #where were your protests during the years of rockets and attacks from gaza

We’ve been hearing report after report of antisemitism at encampment protests, video after video, photo after photo, documenting people being physically assaulted, threatened, having antisemitic vitriol yelled at them.

And then people have the audacity to say that we’re accusing people of antisemitism for “criticizing israel.” What an absolute barrel of horse shit

I need everyone here to see this video of Jack Black singing in Hebrew.
