One of the flowers is plucked from the vase-- she couldn’t really move it very far, just enough that she could still maybe get some work done-- and Xu inhales its fragrance deeply. 

When’s the last time anyone bought her flowers? At all? She can’t remember. 

“Yes.” 

There’s a smile there, hidden behind the rose. She twirls it slightly, and tucks it in the pocket of his jacket. He gets a kiss, too, a lingering one-- one that deeply, deeply implies that this man is going to get very lucky somewhere around 2100. 

“2000 is perfect.”

hey! ik you have a big following, and you’ve mentioned visiting israel and palestine on school trips— i really think your voice would be valuable in speaking out on the injustices happening in that region. you always speak so eloquently on race/gender issues on your blog and i’m really interested in hearing your take! plus i think your platform is large enough to really make a good stand!

i appreciate that you sent this ask, and i appreciate that you thought of me. i agree with everything you’re saying, and i wanted to respond to this immediately because of that, even if i don’t have much of an answer to share.

i’ve studied the conflict for years and, like you said, was in israel and palestine (as in the territories named as such) six months ago; i was at the gaza border in may. i actually disqualified myself from birthright because i wanted to be able to go on academic dispensation specifically (i couldn’t go to the west bank otherwise). i study sociology and jewish studies in my degree program. i’m jewish, i’m south asian, i come from a family of refugees, i come from a family of jains, i come from a family of, like, californians, i come from a family with just as many intersections as any other. suffice to say, i have a lot, a lot of emotions tied up in the levant.

the thing is, because i’ve studied it for so long, and because i study sociology specifically, i also know that saying something before i’ve processed it well enough is irresponsible. this conflict is wrapped up in linguistics; the wording you use is everything. i’m really aware of that, i’m also really aware that i’m not in a place where i feel comfortable enough to articulate myself properly. for my own safety, for responsibility’s sake, and because i’m aware of how nuanced and linguistically fucked discussing this conflict is, i don’t want to make a large statement on it while i’m not in a place to do so.

what i will say for now is that if you’re viewing this conflict as a soccer game between two teams, you are not viewing this conflict in a humanist way. normal civillians, palestinian, druze, samaritan, jewish, israeli arab, armenian, any normal person who lives in the land, should be the only “team” you’re on the side of. listen to people who are from the land, read sources in arabic, read sources in hebrew, read multiple perspectives in multiple languages for every event you want to understand better. understanding how important history, generational trauma, and narrative are in this conflict is essential to understanding why any of this is happening, and if anyone says there’s a simpler way to do it, there’s not. no one tribe in the land can leave, and no one tribe in the land deserves anything less than peace and self determination. personally, my first thought about war is how much i care about people, not which state i feel like backing.

i may post more on tumblr, i may post more on other platforms, i may choose keep my activism in-person rather than purely online. navigating all of this while also being pretty devastated and horrified is complex, and i ask for understanding.

It’s been a long day, Xu thinks. 

His fingers are warm, though, callused and soft at the same time; she is too tired to even move, much less take off her armored vest, much less lift her damn hands and put her hair back in a less disastrous ponytail. 

For a while, though, the battlefield is quiet, a hard-won reprieve for Garden and its clientele, almost all of them still alive. 

Their tent (her tent, really, not meant for sharing but no one’s going to stop her), is silent, save for breath, the creak of the cot, the rip of velcro as she finally gives up and reaches for the straps to take the weight off of her shoulders. 

She lets the vest fall behind her, careless about where it lands, and leans back instead, against him. 

It’s been a long day.
