you go to the well to get some water, and here’s Miriam’s boy, staring at the sky, completely still. his expression is unreadable. you hazard a hello and ask how he’s doing, and he slowly, unblinkingly, lowers his gaze on you (he’s 8 and is missing his frontal teeth, not that this is making you any less uncomfortable) and says “I cannot speak of the state of my being, Nathan son of Saul, my brother, but rejoice for the water you shall take today will be as pure as the soul of the children of Heaven”

*sees J boy, 8 yo, staring at you from across the street*

kid JC, coming home at twilight, a single white dove following him and chirping with weirdly human-like precision:

Miriam: ! that’s my little boy :) now let’s go get ready for dinner :) 

her husband Yosef, a carpenter who only marginally got signed up for this: 

one of the posters was too high for me to reach. I came back with a friend, and we managed to borrow a chair from a coffee shop and get help from a taller student, both were very enthusiastic about helping us

it turns out a guy I know is anti-abortion. I talked to him and now he’s pro-choice. stan me

there was an anti-abortion and anti-gay-medical-pregnancy (I have no vocabulary) protest, which was the reason for all the posters. they were barely 50 and it ended up raining on them

i spent half an hour ripping off their stupid stickers of the walls of the city hall. I feel like the mayor should have paid me for this tbh

when ripping off the stickers, I saw someone else doing it on the other side of the building. we didn’t get to talk but it was nice to see the collective effort

Some fuckers put razors under the edges, and other shit, so you need something else to scrape them off with. When in doubt, scrape a few in random locations and, if they all come up clean, you’re probably okay to pull the rest down by hand.
