thinking over and over and over of that clip from a maya angelou talk about the importance of knowing one another's history. no matter how brutal no matter how bleak no matter how despairing no matter anything because the only way through it is to go all the way through it. and the only way to build anything with one another is by having gone all the way through it because otherwise there is no connection. whats a connection worth that's built on ignorance? sustained by ignorance? "only equals can make friends" she says. only equals.

i cant even imagine where id be without "thats a really mean way to think about me, i wish you wouldnt think that i dont know what im doing when i love you." and "people want to be useful, trying to do everything yourself makes the people around you think that you dont trust them or that you think theyre incapable" and "people are made to be burdens. we are made to carry each other and not leave anyone behind." and "its rotten work / not to me. not if its you."

Genuine question- do you think it is important for you to be posting about … Skateboarding? In Palestine? When people are being killed?

yes. we are more than victims of genocide. we are people with culture and joy and history and life and resistance and love and resilience . we will not let all of that be overlooked. talk about our pain and the injustice that we face, but don’t forget our joy too. although these instances of pain and suffering are true and ongoing, you need to recognize that by only listening to stories of our suffering, you narrow the complexities of the full Palestinian person and experience .
