Every episode of supernatural I watch one of them is saying “we should Go and Hunt Monsters on The Road” and the other is saying “are you sure? What about that Recent Traumatic Event?” And then the first one goes “what would make me feel better is to Hunt, and Kill Monsters, on The Road”

For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.

For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.

So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.

Do you have a link or source for the Protestant werewolf theory you mentioned? I am hoping to do a research project on early modern conceptions of melancholy next semester and would be fascinated to look into that train of thought more!

Okay so! To give proper credit, lest Hbomberguy come for me, I first heard this from an episode of The Constant, which is an excellent podcast you should check out. I made a couple notes while listening to the episode, did a little extra digging later to verify, and it checked out... but here's the problem.

Because it's early Protestant shit... almost all of the academic sources about it are in German. Which is a language I do not read. I can, however, give you some pointers if you are interested in digging!

Caspar Peucer is at least one guy who actually put forth the theory, and the one referenced in the podcast. There's a book called Learned Medicine and Everyday Practice in the Renaissance by Michael Stolberg that specifically references the perceived connection between werewolfism and melancholy. There is a German author named Elmar Lorey who has written a lot about about the history of beliefs about werewolves... but his books have not been translated, so unless you read German, it's a bit inaccessible.

I'm sorry I can't give you a specific link or quotes, werewolves are one of those things that it's bafflingly difficult to research academically when compared to, say, witches in Europe.

#history #for real though I do have that book I mentioned in pdf form #it's not hard to find online but let me know if you have trouble and I'll just send it to you

I think you are the patron saint of history but the history that is the people from before history, history that still is people. With tokens of art in caves, upon bones and made of stone, of dwellings that someone made beautiful - of necklaces and care and toys that came before we start to see history.

Posting this so I can treasure it forever <3
