i dont like that i can love being alive and also think that everything about being alive is exhausting

of course, i have been staying with my family for a week. but

I know i’m gonna piss some people off but I need to speak my truth.. timothee chalamet is a loser

you know back then they didn’t use to romanticize the past

As for me, my condition is worsening. I am ill with a persistent high fever, severe anemia, and constant nausea, which is exhausting my body and limiting my mobility. I urgently need to purchase my monthly medications.

My need for donations now is not a request for luxury, but an urgent need for life. I desperately need to buy my monthly medication, which costs 500 euros, so that I can recover from my illness and live without pain like everyone else. Please stand by me, please donate.

Justifying land ownership and the creation of a militarist, apartheid state in Palestine on the basis of an Iron Age kingdom is so bizarre that it defies belief. It's a similar logic to that used by the Germans to excuse their genocidal colonisation of Eastern Europe ('Germanic tribes were here c. 100 BCE, therefore Slavs deserve to be ethnically cleansed'). To say it's an abuse of history is an understatement. It's a case of the interests of a modern state and its ruling class being engraved onto the past through emotive myths. And like all mythical projections, it by design frees state power from all limit. Every piece of land becomes an object for future conquest and exploitation. Every brutal act of Might is converted into Right against the backdrop of King Solomon, the Temple, Judea and Samaria, and all the other racialised fantasies of colonial killers.

What seems to elude people is that the evils of apartheid and genocide are not conditional. Apartheid and genocide remain as such, no matter the rationale. Episodes selected from the slaughterbench of history do not magically transform, in some alchemical process, modern systems of subjugation and exile into acts of purity and goodness. The ancient injustices of the Roman empire do not justify the continued militarised brutalisation of an entire people, let alone one, like the Palestinians, that are themselves the descendants of those the Romans colonised. Only a warped mind and a debased heart would seek to find in a mythologised past an excuse for racist tyranny.
