went back to reread my frustrated review of a [highly recommended by people] palestinian history book which does a HORRIBLE job of being a history of palestine and lol:

"The Cana'anites are in fact identical to the Phoenicians. The alphabet of the Phoenicians of the coastal regions of Palestine and Lebanon -- conventionally known as the proto-canaanite alphabet - was given to Greek, Aramaic, Arabic, and Hebrew. However, the Old Testament terms 'Canaanites' and Israelites' in Palestine do not necessarily refer to or describe two distinct ethnicities…" [book quote] [so,] The Canaanites are the Phoenicians all along. And also, the Israelites aren't actually different from the Canaanites, it's an in-group/out-group terminology. (The word "Hebrew" is often used this way too, so no surprises here). But then on another page, we're told "Also, a large amount of Palestinian ("Canaanite") pottery from this period was discovered in Egypt…" and yet another page reads "Like the Phoenicians, the Philistines developed advanced Naval technology…." So now, we know that the Palestinians are the Canaanites, the Canaanites are actually the Phoenicians, the Israelites are [also] Canaanites (but aren't Palestinian?), and also the Philistines…who are the Palestinians (since we're using the Egyptian records of Peleset to identify the Philistines as Palestinians in this book), are similar to the Phoenicians, even though we were just told that they're Canaanites and the Canaanites are the Phoenicians. Are you following? I'm not. Are the Philistines Canaanites? Are they Phoenician? [Both?] How do we know this? When do we know it? Why do we know it? This book doesn't tell us.

deeply infuriating book to read lmao.

maybe an okay exploration of the possible etymological history of the word "palestine" and its cognates. but terrible history book of palestine and palestinians.

not to be a fandom wiki hate blog, but this literally kills me:

that's... look, it's citing the fucking Midnight Star poem for that, completely ignoring the tiny problem that the poem supports exactly zero of what's in that sentence oh my god fuck off fuck off fuck off

No i am not joking, according to Endeavor Dabi being near death allowed him to awaken a whole new ability and he now has ice coming out of his chest.

When there is literally only one reliable biographer involved in recording a guy's life and it's not even the guy himself because said guy was an extremely messy individual and would make wildly contradictory statements about himself when he did speak about his personal life at all

[starpros-sunshine]

I still think the more I think about it that sanctuary at it's core is a perfectly understandable reaction on Eichis part I mean have you read blackbird imagine being Eichi and experiencing that. I would also go insane if the guy that's stuck with me through weal and woe — who's been a main motivation for me to keep on living by being kind of the reason I fell in love with idols in the first place which is a fact about me that proceeded to shape the narrative at it's very core and who I'm so close to it makes other people uncomfortable sometimes, yet I feel like I don't know him at all and like there's this chasm between us still — just disappeared without any notice for a few days at least and then I find out he's hypnotized himself to play around with some boring kid from his theater circle because he wasn't able to do that as a child. Shakes you there are so many layers to the Sanctuary thing when you think about it of course Eichi was being eaten up by jealousy I would be too for god's sake imagine thinking you're getting closer to someone and then they pull a stunt like that. Why would he rather toy around with this boring weirdo who doesn't even know him like Eichi does that should've been Eichi stuck in that construction area with Wataru not Tomoya! It's only logical because Tomoya hasn't been through what they've been through together. And Eichi is petty and a menace and I still think it was overly dramatic and a tad bit of an asshole move to just leave Tomoya there because he was angry with him while Tomoya was just some guy roped into this without his will or knowledge but I get it. In a way I understand it. I think it's over the top but what is Eichi Tenshouin if not over the top and a little (or very) dumb sometimes and you know what they say about how love makes blind yeah I think that also applies to common sense there.

seen people "realizing" their mistakes about jumping to crucify Lando on Twitter, and I'm actually more mad now than when they were yelling about him this morning

Just because two words sound similar does not mean they're related
