All I want is to save our children from this famine, can you bear this cruelty ?

If your child was your sister or brother, would you let him die of pain ?

This is my daughter's meal these days, she is six years old, and because of the high prices we can't buy anything, the price of flour at this moment exceeds 200 dollars.

Remember that we are living in a tent in the winter now⛺⛺😔

As the winter draws closer and closer, please remind yourself that the people of Palestine will be enduring it in their tents while still under siege.

This is not a hole that will never be filled. It's a hole being filled slowly. Do not let your resolve be shaken, as your strength is both for you and for the Palestinian people relying on us.

I hate buses so much. Trains are easy, reliable, straightforward. No nonsense. You can trust them. Buses are evil, deceitful creatures who delight in your suffering

thinking about the time a professor said the phrase “it’s just like the judeo-christian concept of turning the other cheek—” to which i immediately said something like “you mean the christian concept? it doesn’t appear in judaism” and he looked at me like a startled slow loris.

there's a little all-ages display board they put up at the library for november that's about kindness and empathy and getting along. it's really cute, they have little facts and passages from books and quotes and pictures and all that.

one of the quotes is something like "the most basic litmus test for if someone is an asshole is order a well-done steak and see what their opinion is" and i think it was up for maybe 25 minute before we got our first of many "heh, i agree with everything... but the steak thing, amirite!! heh!" type.

a well-done steak that you paid for with your own money to enjoy to your own personal taste really is like catnip for a certain type of buddy-buddy "i'm just kidding, i'm just saying!" asshole who doesn't realize they kiiinda suck to be around. it's irresistible, they have to comment on it. fascinating

grad school is weirdly psychologically straining. idk how to explain it. But my advice is basically. If you're considering something drastic, also consider things that are less drastic. If you're considering quitting, then also consider threatening to quit. If you're considering suicide, consider quitting. Whatever drastic thing you're consdiering because you're about to fail a class or a candidacy exam, also consider just failing and continuing anyway. You know? It's not waht you wanted, but if you're already considering something outside of the sapce of stuff you wanted, consider all the stuff less drastic than it too
