Have u heard about the flotillas departing now/soon for palestine
yes!!! i think everyone should learn about the freedom flotilla, which is setting sail for gaza very soon and needs to have eyes and ears on it, as israel has a long history of attacking, raiding and occaisonally killing humanitarian workers on aid ships to gaza, as they did in 2010 with the first freedom flotilla (because that's how long Gaza has been under siege)
here's an interview with journalist and lawyer dylan saba, who is setting sail on it and is a good person to follow to learn more about it:
![[screenshot of interview]
S: If Israel were to raid the flotilla as it has done in the past, do you think that anyone inside the White House would be concerned? Do you think that were American citizens, who I presume will be on the flotilla aside from yourself, if they were detained in the course of doing this, that [Biden] would voice that concern with the Israeli government?
D: I would hope so, I would hope so. I think that it in part depends on what kind of attention there is on the flotilla, before and during the mission. Part of our philosophy in doing this is that, the more of a spotlight there is on the mission itself, the more diplomatic pressure we can bring to bear on Biden and other heads of state. Because this is a multinational coalition: there will be Americans on board and there will be people of probably a dozen other nationalities, some Western, some non-Western. But the hope is that we can translate media attention into diplomatic pressure to bear on the Israelis.
Should we be detained, I imagine there would be pressure on the Israelis from the Americans to release us and send us back. I also think that the Israelis would not be that interested in holding us for any lengthy period of time, because I imagine from the Israeli point of view, they basically want this to go away. That is part of the strategic logic of the flotilla from the outset, right, is to force the issue, in a media sense, force the issue of aid, demonstrate its connection with the military operation, and put the Israelis in a situation in which basically any way they handle it is harming their war effort in a narrative sense and [harming] their standing in the international community.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/644a19e93bc6820cb5cb956e69ffdc9c/7ca151cdb59ed1d9-4f/s500x750/69493ca066353fd592da50af78eacd635fc60ff7.png)
![S: Why specifically did you want to be on this flotilla outside of your obligation as a journalist to cover this and to put a spotlight onto it?
D: It’s a great question and it’s something that I’ve been thinking a lot about. I’ll speak generally first and then speak for myself. I think that there are different logics for why folks are participating in this, and they range from kind of broad to more narrow, and the broadest are the folks who have a spiritual or ethical commitment to nonviolence.
That’s ultimately what this is, it’s a direct action. It’s a non-violent, direct action. We are civilians. We are unarmed. We are attempting to deliver essential humanitarian aid to the people in the world who need it most. And we are willing to confront the violence of the Israeli military, their genocidal violence, because it’s imperative to do so. And there are some folks who feel that nonviolence is an ethical and spiritual imperative and are acting out their politics or their ethics in that sense.
There are some folks, and this is a slightly narrower kind of conception of duty, subscribe to belief in strategic non-violence. There are theorists of this in political science, like Gene Sharp, Erica Chenoweth, and Maria Stephan, who say that engaging in strategic non-violence is an effective, or the most effective way to counter entities that have a monopoly on the use of violent force, that strategic non-violence has low barriers to entry, [as in] a lot of different people can participate in it, and ultimately what you can do is draw out or elicit overreactions from the armed state in such a way that undercut that state’s legitimacy and can be an effective strategy for destabilizing regimes.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c7556db387ca9d5e78d5884d31d6a2fe/7ca151cdb59ed1d9-84/s500x750/14c0f303b19d597292accc8a99fd30715f5bf50a.png)

Pinch102Gou - A' Eng Translation
this is my favorite A' song and I was surprised to see it not been translated yet (as far as I know). A' does actually say "pi/pinch" 102 times in this song. this is not proofread at all. as always, tl under the cut!
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch out
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch out
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch out
Focus your eyes and look closely
How about those who can manipulate their words
They show you dreams, then snatch them away?
Going with the flow of the waves, I’m uneasy
Embracing the night, I’m obstructed
At the park where I held the deceased cicada (Hey)
He reached out to me (What do you want?)
If you keep this up you’ll end up eaten (Oh really)
He struck me
Let’s run away right now
Let’s throw it away right now
Let’s break it right now
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
“Don’t overdo it”
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
“Bless yourself”
Amidst a sandstorm that I can’t seem to escape
As expected, the warmth, I’m realizing it’s all suspicious
On this planet, anyone and everyone is looking down
Neutralizing their mind, and usurping power
Where is that faint light that I saw
Should we get rid of all means of communication and go for a ride?
Feeling isolated after showing off my scars (Jeez)
I’m drowning out in the ocean (Splash)
Curled up in the corner of the trailer (Boohoo)
My eyes are opening
Miracle, cram it all
Miracle, fake it all
Miracle, good morning
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
Lead astray in life
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
Be courageous
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi Mark the date
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi Mark the date
Don’t try to understand everything and everything
Even the lies of an unconfident adult
The only one that can go through with this song behind closed doors
Etan is the only victor
Realize, the future
Realize, relight
Realize, even now
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
Trust in each other
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
We can go anywhere
