just got a second official warning for my use of "from the river to the sea, palestine will be free" on the OTW volunteer slack
people are also currently asking board to ban saying that the founding of israel was colonialism—equating this to saying racial slurs—and were complaining about my status back when it was "palestine will be free", too
suffice to say, fuck that place, don't give the OTW your money, and don't fucking volunteer there
(the second screenshot is from the warning I got a few days ago)
this poem is going to be my new personality from now on
why has NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS
Romantic Encounter (1864) by Mihály von Zichy (Hungarian, 1827-1906). Lucifer and Princess Tamara (a mortal with whom he falls in love). An illustration for Mikhail Lermontov’s poem ‘The Demon’.
my beloved you're looking very lovely tonight *kisses your hand and winkz*
my gf is so attractive and cool yall must be so jealous rn
The problem is the main things what they’re asking for is impossible for 99% of people, if we take off for a week from our job we lose that job. If we walk out for a week from university (since emailing and asking for notes to catch up undermines the whole point) we miss critical info fail the module and fuck up our degree. sure the side stuff is more acessable but when the main strike idea can’t be put into action your going to have all the momentum and impact of a dead slug, that’s why people are having difficulties.
hi anon. I understand that, and I empathise with the people who want to be doing more but can't, because capitalist society is built to punish us whenever we attempt to fight for a better life. But, again, you're approaching this in an unnecessarily defeatist way. The strike period hasn't even started for the northern hemisphere, and you're comparing the impact of the more 'accessible' strike actions to a dead slug.
I think if you approach resistant action with the idea that only massive gestures are worth anything, you're not going to get anywhere. You can make a difference by volunteering more this week, donating more to Palestinian escape funds and aid organisations, you can buy e-sims and connect human beings during the worst period of their life. It might not mean much to you, but donating the money that gets a Palestinian family food for the day, that helps them be able to text their families overseas - small actions can and do mean the world. One day I went fuck it, and kicked up a huge fuss on twitter because Gofundme refused to transfer a Palestinian man his funds. And, because of that small action on my part, he's going to get his money, even if it's weeks late.
And, just. One more time for good measure. This strike is being called by Bisan, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza who could quite literally be killed at any second. I know you mean well, but genuinely - what alternative does she have at this moment? It's nearing the end of the fourth month of genocide in Gaza. Palestinians have spent almost one third of a year being ruthlessly murdered with practically zero effective international pushback. If they're holding onto hope that action like this can make a difference, I'm not going to be pedantic and miserly about it.
Here’s a quick guide by illustrator Travis Millard to making an eight-page booklet zine from two pieces of paper.

exactly what i was rambling ab a few days ago on discord with my friends (i know there might be some errors and some stuff i said that may be wrong or could be phrased better but it was just a ramble between friends, nothing serious and im too lazy to rewrite it all)
I find it interesting how in Hell’s Greatest Dad Lucifer says « Who also happens to be your blood », referring to how angelic blood, his own, flows inside of Charlie’s veins.
Lucifer feels so threatened by Alastor because of his relationship with his daughter that his argument is to bring up the fact that they’re blood relatives. A lot of us know how sometimes blood doesn’t make everything and you can part ways with your family no matter what flows in your veins but he used it as an argument as of why he, Lucifer, is the actual father figure.
All he says in this song is that he’s gonna help her, he’ll be there and will give her anything, but on the other hand Alastor says, to reason, that he already helped her, he already did so much for her and was present in her hardest times. Charlie has an actual reason to eventually see Alastor as a father figure more than Lucifer during that time of her life. The only « valid » argument Lucifer has in this song is their blood bound. While Alastor has an actual bound with Charlie that he created through ups and downs and by supporting her dream from day one like he says it himself.
Also little note at how Charlie only reacts to Alastor’s words, not to her own actual father. Not even to mention the whole clip where she’s eternally awkward in Lucifer’s presence but very at ease with Alastor. Lucifer really did lose this battle but absolutely not war, I expect a lot of father-daughter bounding in s2.
