the notes are broken ๐
frankly, the people whose kneejerk reaction to bisan asking for a global strike form the 21st-28th is to say that it takes years to organize a general strike are really unhelpful! no one is saying otherwise, but palestine will be a smoking crater if we all wait for years to do anything - bisan is asking us to do something now. Like are we only supposed to do something if we can do it perfectly??? At some point itโs a valid critique about the work that goes into social movement, and at another point I feel like some people are just trying to absolve themselves from not putting any effort into observing a week of economic inaction.
like idk! I get it, okay! People have bills to pay that donโt magically go away for a strike, we donโt have nearly enough social infrastructure in place to support people to fully stop going to work for a week. But fuck, dude! Stop immediately responding in such a defeatist way! Cut out unnecessary purchases! Try to shop local! Put more effort into promoting Palestinian voices online! Attend a protest, call a local rep, do something!
Absolutely love this, Iโll be looking for updates ๐

โI- uh, what?โ
Astrid was standing at the edge of the door, looking at the clusterfuck of a mess.
Hiccup and Jack, both wide eyed, stared back at her. Jack pinned against the wall, his hands wrapped around the viking heirโs neck. One of Hiccupโs hand next to Jackโs head, the other holding the spiritโs waist.
Both flushed, silently held eye contact with the shield-maiden.
She crossed her arms, โOkay, break it up you guys. This is important.โ
Jack and Hiccup awkwardly pulled apart, Hiccup sat on his chair while Jack chose to sit on the table.
Astrid cleared her throat, โOkay, how long?โ
โUm,โ
A beat passed between them. The boys refused to look at each other.
โA week?โ
โA month?โ
Another awkward silence fell upon the group. Astrid stared at the pair, eyebrow raised.
Hiccup and Jack sneaked a glance at each other but immediately looked away.
She sighed. โOkay, letโs try again. But this time, without the lying.โ
