O antissemitismo é considerado crime no Brasil. Atos de antissemitismo podem ser enquadrados como crimes de racismo. A Lei nº 7.716/1989 define e pune crimes resultantes de preconceito de raça ou cor, e a Const Fed classifica o racismo como crime inafiançável e imprescritível.

Há uma grande ignorância em acreditar que israelenses são contra palestinos, e vice-versa. Tanto o povo palestino quanto o povo israelense se opõem ao terrorismo promovido por grupos como Hamas, Hezbollah e Jihad Islâmica, que são financiados pelo regime iraniano. Vale lembrar que o próprio povo iraniano também é contrário a essas ações extremistas.

i don’t think i’ve introduced this wip since i made this blog like four years ago, so here’s a long overdue introduction in the spirit of nanowrimo :)

project save the universe  — a reintroduction

Margot eyed the slogan on Evelyn’s shirt: Project Save the World, in big, green and blue letters. Normally, she didn’t have a reason to think too hard about it—it not like she would have talked to her anyway. But now, she had questions.

“Why stop at the world?” she asked.

Evelyn blinked. “What?”

Margot made a vague motion at her shirt. “Why stop at the world?” she repeated. Her eyes flicked upwards. Through the branches above them, the barest hint of night sky had begun to show as the sun went down. “Why not go bigger?”

“How much bigger?” Evelyn asked, playing along. The corner of her lips quirked up as she followed Margot’s gaze.

Margot shrugged. “Why not save the universe?”

Evelyn laughed, and the sound was somehow slippery and sharp at the same time, like honey spread on toast. “Sure. I’ll put that on tomorrow’s agenda.”

Margot liked the idea of tomorrow.

blurb

Margot joined the Environmental Club her junior year for a quick credit on her college application. Evelyn has been passionate about going green since the fourth grade.

When Evelyn plans a protest to keep a tree in the local park from being torn down, Margot has no intention of showing up. Why should she? Evelyn has been the thorn in hers and everyone elses' sides since they were kids, and some things you just don't grow out of.

But the universe works in funny ways. Sometimes, people take walks in the park, and sometimes, they get pulled into climbing a tree and staying there until it’s saved.

Evelyn doesn’t mind. If that's what it takes to save the Earth, then so be it.

excerpt:

She managed to open her mouth, but no words came out. It felt like someone had their hands around her neck, squeezing any words she could think of back into her lungs.

Lidia frowned. “Margot, you don’t need to talk about it. Do you need water?”

Tess tilted her head. “I don’t understand—”

Tagged by @marlettwrites, thank you so much!! I’ve been waiting for an excuse to do this for forever:)

Rules: share the last line(s) you wrote for your WIP

(I’ll be doing this for Project Save the Universe since I have no idea where I last edited in Lark and Eli) (also I’ll be completely honest, this isn’t the last line I wrote, but it is the last line in one of Margot’s chapters. It’s also one of few bits I don’t hate, so here it is)

Margot put her head on the table and groaned. “I’m officially the only junior who does literally nothing.”

Tristan patted her shoulder and Margot looked up just enough to meet his far too jovial grin. “That’s not true! You have the Environmental Club--sorry, Project Save the Earth.”

Margot dropped her head back down and groaned louder.

tagged by the lovely @katerinarevel, thank you!! i know it’s been literally forever, sorry for taking so long!!

rules. what are three (3) songs that really embody your wip? how do they relate to it?

i’ll be doing this for both lark and eli and project save the universe (pstu will be under the cut):)

lark and eli

1. selene - imagine dragons

“this is my heart, it’s on the line, selene.”

i love this song in general, not just for this wip, but it also fits this story really well. through the entire book, eli is vulnerable. there’s no other way around it. his heart is constantly on the line, his love for his brother and sister driving each and every one of his choices, his fear for their lives keeping him going. the vibe this song gives me is a mix of deep and hopeful, which sums up eli and his journey pretty well.

2. not what i meant - dodie

“i'll do it if i have to, hoping for an in-between. not what i meant when i said that i i wanted to be seen.”

again, this one ties back to eli’s love for his siblings when it comes to the lyrics. he doesn’t want their lives to be on the line, he doesn’t want to have to save them, but they are and he does, and he’ll do what he has to. plus, the song itself has that sort of indescribable quality that fits the story, if that makes sense?

3. don’t wanna fight - amber run

“when the ticking of clocks, is more like a drum, and you're caught in a trap, can't find your way home. you’re not perfect, not perfect either, letting blind anger hold you, grip like a fever. but i don't want to fight, i don't want to fight any more.”

man, none of these kids want to fight anymore. the poor mages are stuck in a position they don’t deserve to be stuck in, and stay that way for the entire book. the lyrics to this song really capture that perfectly, so how could i not include it??

awe!! thank you for this ask, it’s so nice to hear you’re interested!!:)

lark and eli (working title):

one boy finds out he’s a mage with the lives of his siblings’ lives, nine other mages’ lives, and two twin gods’ lives resting on his shoulders (and he’s not a fan).

project save the universe:

a lesbian is stuck in a tree for twenty-four hours with a cute, bi-curious girl, and the result surprises no one.

lyra and isaac (working title)

dumbass mermaid with a dumbass friend meets dumbass human (and everything goes to shit).
