The photo shows a massive fireball in the middle of a group of buildings, with a massive black cloud rising from the flames that is bigger than the buildings themselves. The building just behind the fireball is low, rectangular, and lit up bright orange. Behind that building, there is a city lit up at night. Hundreds of buildings stretching into the distance, a thousand glimmering lights.]

What is happening in Palestine is not complicated; it's settler colonialism & ethnic cleansing.

Debunking Misinformation around Palestine.

Myth ❌ Palestine and Israel are in "conflict."

Fact ✅ What is happening in Palestine is settler colonialism, military occupation, land theft and ethnic cleansing. A conflict means there is equal footing, which is not the case. There is an active oppressor (Israel) and an oppressed (Palestine). A colonizer (Israel) and a colonized (Palestine). This is not a conflict.

[Three images of headlines with the word 'conflict' crossed out in red ink.]

Note: According to the Congressional Research Service,

Israeli military occupation has been supported by US aid with $3.8bn a year paid for by U.S. tax dollars since 2016 for the next 10 years.

It's also supported by other colonial countries including Canada, Australia, France and Belgium.

Myth ❌ Before Israel came to Palestine, it was "just a desert" and Israel made the desert green.

Fact ✅ Before the occupation of Israel, Palestine had green, rich and lush land. In fact, Palestine respected the biodiversity of their Indigenous land: Palestinians were producing 92% of Palestine's grain, 99% of its olives and 95% of its melons to name a few.

Since Israel's occupation, biodiversity has decreased. Israel removed Indigenous plants from the land to plant European Invasive species. This phenomenon is called green colonialism, which has been discussed in depth by many, including Naomi Klein in "Let Them Drown."

Myth ❌ Sheikh Jarrah is the only neighborhood in Palestine that is in danger.

Fact ✅ Israel has been gradually stealing Palestinian land, destroying and ethnically cleansing entire Palestinian villages, violently displacing families and building illegal settlements on top them since the first Nakba ('catastrophe' in Arabic) in 1948, where almost 600 Palestinian villages were destroyed, Palestinian history erased and half the Palestinian population were expelled from their homes.

Myth (cont'd.) ❌ Sheikh Jarrah is the only neighborhood in Palestine that is in danger.

Fact ✅ Over the past few decades, the state of Israel has continued the settler colonial project, and Sheikh Jarrah is the latest and not the last neighborhood being violently threatened with dispossession, which Israel has no legal right to do.

[Images of a map showing the drastic decrease in Palestinian landmass from 1946 to 2019. In 1946, Palestine was 99% Palestinian land. In 1947, it decreased to 40%. In 1967, to 30%. And in 2019, less than 20% of Palestine is Palestinian land. The remaining areas are being encroached on by occupied Palestinian land, meaning occupied by Israelis. The rest is Israeli land.]

The mainstream media has been supporting these myths by spreading misinformation that conceal Israel's ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine by saying it's a two-sided conflict, framing Palestinian resistance as terrorism and normalizing the state of Israel.

Meaning of Afẹ́ni(Yoruba name)

One who loves another.

Morphology

a-fẹ́-ẹni

Gloss

a - someone fẹ́ - love, want ẹni - person, individual

Tupac Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, was born Alice Faye Williams on January 10, 1947, in Lumberton, North Carolina. She changed her name to Afeni Shakur when she joined the Black Panther Party in the late 1960s. The name "Afeni" is indeed of Yoruba origin, and it means "lover of the people" or "dear one" in the Yoruba language spoken in Nigeria and some other parts of West Africa.

Afeni Shakur was inspired to adopt the name "Afeni" during her involvement with the Black Panther Party, a revolutionary Black nationalist and socialist organization that sought to address issues of racial injustice and inequality in the United States. The Black Panther Party had connections to various movements and ideologies across the African diaspora, including the Black Power movement and African liberation struggles.

By taking on the name "Afeni," Tupac's mother was expressing her solidarity with the struggles of oppressed people and her commitment to fighting for social justice and equality. The name change symbolized her dedication to serving her community and advocating for positive change, reflecting the values and principles that were central to her activism and personal beliefs.

Wanted to draw something for SNOWMAS

And everyone around me is having babies and the babies are very cute so I wanted to Simon and Baz as babies with their dads

Baby Baz is babbling away at Malcolm and baby Simon thinks being held like a floppy football is a fun game that this weird adult that hangs around his mom sometimes plays with him 😅*

*taking a page out of MRB and making it so Davy is still Simon's bio dad but I imagine he and Lucy mutually agreed she'd have full custody

Annabeths relationship with people in my au

Siblings:

Louise Owens, counsellor for the Venus cabin, 17 years old: complicated. To be honest, Louise just feels kind of bad for her bc she's kind of lived through their mothers tough treatment, and being her 'favoured child' isn't as easy as it sounds. But there's also jealousy that annabeth could be made a literal goddess, that annabeth is basically the smartest kid there and that annabeth gets so much attention that she only really got bc her mother realised that she was in such a vulnerable traumatic situation that it would be best to like her more to get annabeth to love her bc she's desperate for any affection ever. And Louise wishes, in a small way, that she was known as much as annabeth was, bc even though is revered and is basically a Co leader of Camp, annabeth gets to join her in those decisions. But she tries not to let it show bc annabeth is literally 12 and on the verge of an anxious meltdown qt all times. So she tries to love her sister as much as she can. Which just kind of means not really talking to her a bunch but valuing her opinion on stuff. Annabeth is constantly trying to become closer friends with Louise, who isn't that interested tbh. But she values her as part of the team, and honestly in a year she's allowed to leave Camp (Will do a separate post on what demigods do after that)

Alfred Davies, 15:

They don't really get along bc Alfred doesn't really care. About any of it. He's got gifted kid burnout bad (so has Louise, but she's able to keep up the facade). He had his earplugs in 24/7 and is smart and a good fighter, he just wants to disappear into the mortal world when he's old enough. And annabeth is annoyed bc her mom doesn't like him and she does whatever her mom says tbh. Also she's incredibly stressed that one day she will burnout and not eb of use to anyone anymore just like him. So they but heads a lot

Malcolm pace, 14:

One of her only other friends except her dog and Grover. They get along quite well, Malcolm also being smart. He's literally the best bc he doesn't want to climb the ranks. He just wants to be enthusiastic about like... NASA and stuff. He likes space a lot, and sometimes him and Annabeth work together to combine the magical world they live in with modern space theory. Malcolm is moderately liked by her mom.

Despite annabeth being the youngest, she isn't treated like it. In fact, she's treated like an equal, which is great for her ego and self-esteem but not very good for her child development skills, which are lacking

Thalia:

Oh gods, that one is complicated. If anyone asks, it will be 'I hate her because she was a traitor, who hated the gods and I'm happy she's out of my life', and partially, that's true. And she does hate thalia for that, and she blames thalia for Luke being turned into a tree. She hates thalia because her mother does and because she denounced the camp that basically gave her a home. But there's also another reason which is one she'd actually never say. She hates thalia for leaving and running away and letting her deal with her mother and not saving her, for just leaving and not dragging annabeth with her, for being just like the mother she despised because she's never here to save annabeth from her camp which she hates. She hates when thalia begged come with me, she did it in front of her mother to prove a point and never realised annabeth was scared to say no, never came in thw night to slip her away, and left. Because now annabeth is all alone. But she also still adores thalia and feels bad that she didn't have the courage to leave, which she hates herself for because leaving is bad. So yeah. Complicated

Parents:

Father: hates. Plain and simple. Hates her stepmom and little brothers, too. There's no rules binding her to loving them like her mom, so she just despises them. And she does that until the end bc I think Fredrick Chase doesn't deserve redemption:)

Venus: COMPLEX! As you have seen! Honestly that needs a whole separate post bc my sleepy mind cannot WRAP MY MIND AROUND IT ALL.

Friends:

Grover: she loves the guy. He was one of her first friends, and while she was sceptical about him at first, she's grown to really like him. They are just kinda besties. They only really clash on Thalia, bc Annabeth would rather die than process that trauma and grover really does miss her.

Luke (currently a tree):

She misses him so much. Every annoying thing he did melts away bc she misses him. She sits by his tree a lot to do tasks her mom sets her or does architecture stuff when she has free time. She misses him a lot and loves him like a brother

malcolm laughs, partly from amusement and also from nervousness. he didn't know where the question was suddenly coming from. nor did he think it'd be very wise to answer honestly. "do i like someone? come on, are we in the third grade or something?" he did though, and that person was right next to him - close and yet entirely out of his reach. "nah, i'm not really feeling anyone right now. why, is there someone you've been crushing on? 'cause ift here is, i bet i can guess who. i think i know your type pretty well."

Play for Today: Bavarian Night (BBC, 1981)

"These bloody middle class parents, ooh, they do get up my nose! You can work yourself blue in the face for them, go out of your way to accommodate them, but it's no use! They're just out to carve and criticise and try to make a fool out of you! Oh, I felt like - I'm ashamed to tell you what I felt like."

"Giving her a good hiding?"

"Yes, somebody should have done, I don't mind saying so! Oh, they make me sick! Always had their own way, always had the best of everything; she should have been brought up in our house, my dad would've had her sorted! I'm sorry, Estelle, this isn't like me, I know. Well, that's my evening spoilt for a start!"

"But what about the sausages?"
