ID: tweet by @ babadookspinoza that reads, “Loving deeply is the only way to accommodate the knowledge of so much suffering. Our love grounds us in the world and allows our hearts to grow more responsive rather than shriveling and hardening to avoid further pain. There’s no going back for any of us, but there is a choice.”

Keep an eye on Palestine this coming Ramadan. Israel often launches harsh depraved attacks during Ramadan solely to ruin the Palestinians fucking lives and wear them down and it’s disgusting do not look away.

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.
a little more information regarding the maui wildfires:
medical workers on the ground are describing finding hundreds of bodies. the current death toll in the media is, unfortunately, only a fraction of the reality
hospital workers are describing injuries and trauma as if survivors had come out of a warzone
thousands are still missing
an apartment complex for the elderly was lost. not everyone could get out. people were saying goodbye to loved ones over the phone
people who did get out of lahaina were leaving with ashes covering their faces and nothing but the clothes on their backs. people are losing everything.
hotels are still operating. hotels are still operating. they are not the ones offering shelters or housing or food. even bowling alleys are offering shelter, but hotels have the audacity to build on burial sites but not open their doors to local families who have lost everything.
