If you are a ‘Rest as Resistance’ girly I’m here to tell you that Long Covid steals rest. There is no respite, no refreshment, no possibility of rebirth. There is sometimes sleep, there is collapse, there is cellular exhaustion but no rest. There is no resistance without a mask.
lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.
I know it’s a cliche thing to say, but I no longer have any lingering questions about how fascism comes to power and genocidal atrocities are permitted—what a truly bleak realization.
To me it is quite simple. You either believe that it is/was right to remove Arab people from their land against their will and replace them with Jewish people or you don’t. And if you do, well, yikes.

This is about the genocide in Gaza if you somehow couldn't tell, and if you still think Israel has any right to the violence it keeps perpetrating then you are undeniable wrong. It's been a year of bloodshed on your timelines, if you still don't understand that is a choice.
I remember my horror when we stopped counting in days and started counting in weeks. In months. Now years.
Or should I say "once again, years"?
Because it was always years, before it was days or hours or minutes or even seconds.
What we have been counting is the days since the fall of our ignorance, or at least the moment it falls with hindsight. Ignorance isn't bliss unless you have no conscious; no lives are saved with ignorance.
