Ok, so I just want to get the general fandom consensus on what they think Jason's ethnicity is, because during DITF he though Lady Shiva was a viable option for his birth mom

Acquire the skill of amazement.

Not only through sunsets and mountains but in the normality of life. Find yourself to be thankful in every way of life. You will learn to be grateful for all your blessings that we so often undermine and gain the joy of it.

Find beauty in the remarkable and in nothingness.

Read Palestine Week

🇵🇸 Good morning, my beautiful bookish bats. Can I start by saying a huge THANK YOU for sharing my Queer Palestinian Book post? Seriously, thank you so much. Let's keep that momentum by observing Read Palestine Week (Nov 29 - Dec 5). I've compiled a list of books to help you, along with a list of upcoming events and resources you can use this week and beyond.

🇵🇸 A collective of over 350 global publishers and individuals issued a public statement expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people. Publishers for Palestine have organized an international #ReadPalestine week, starting today (International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People).

🇵🇸 These publishers have made many resources and e-books available for free (with more to come). A few include award-winning fiction and poetry by Palestinian and Palestinian diaspora authors. You'll also find non-fiction books about Palestinian history, politics, arts, culture, and “books about organizing, resistance, and solidarity for a Free Palestine.” You can visit publishersforpalestine.org to download some of the books they have available.

" give me a house with tall windows and white chiffon curtains, a warm kitchen hearth and the home of your even warmer arms. a little garden where we plant flowers and fruits together, laughing on lazy sunny days and read together with your head resting in my lap. "

"'مجھے لمبے کھڑکیوں اور سفید شفان کے پردوں کے ساتھ ایک گھر، ایک گرم باورچی خانے کی چولہا اور آپ کے اس سے بھی زیادہ گرم بازوؤں کا گھر دیں۔ ایک چھوٹا سا باغ جہاں ہم پھول اور پھل اکٹھے لگاتے ہیں، سست دھوپ کے دنوں میں ہنستے ہیں اور کتابیں پڑھتے ہیں جبکی آپکا سر میرے گود میں ہو "

ما أجمل أن تجد قلبًا يحبك، دون أن يطلب منك شيئًا، سوى أن تكون بخير.

“How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.”

Arabic poetry is so beautifully yet painfully romantic. I mean, They asked “do you love her to death?” I said “speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life” and “Because my love for you is higher than words, I’ve decided to fall silent” and “It is not enough to say love in Arabic, you must say ‘be the thing that buries me’” could have Jane Austen crying and shaking.

لنتبع دائما البركات التي تأتي مع رمضان. واعلم أنه أينما هبت الرياح، فإن إيماننا بالله سيتبع دائمًا

May we always acquire the blessings that come with Ramadan. And know that wherever the wind blows, our faith in Allah ‎ﷻ will always follow.
