If our life lacks brimstone, i.e., a constant magic, it is because we choose to observe our acts and lose ourselves in considerations of their imagined form instead of being impelled by their force.
Antonin Artaud, preface to Le théâtre et son double (tr. Mary Caroline Richards)
Si notre vie manque de soufre, c’est-à-dire d’une constante magie, c’est qu’il nous plaît de regarder nos actes et de nous perdre en considérations sur les formes rêvées de nos actes, au lieu d’être poussés par eux.
TIME SENSITIVE: HELP MARAM AND AHMED REACH €35K IN 4 DAYS
I'll keep this post shorter in hopes to attract and keep more attention: my friend Ahmed, his wife Maram, and their three children Habiba (4), Kareem (2), and Muhammad (1) have been trapped in Gaza amidst genocide for 11, almost 12 months. Maram and Muhammad have struggled with malnutrition, Maram has suffered from potentially lethal hepatitis, and all have faced relentless bombings, starvation, disease, and 11 displacements. They are fundraising to evacuate Gaza when the border opens, and as GoFundMe has been closing campaigns without warning and the bank is located in an area under the occupation's siege, anything could happen -- making reaching their goal as SOON as possible absolutely vital.
I hope to help them reach €35,000 by the end of the day Sunday, enough to ensure the family has at least the amount needed to evacuate, and then on to their ultimate goal of €40k. I have personally seen multiple modes of verification and can attest to this family's legitimacy as well as the legitimacy of their beneficiary -- Ahmed himself has confirmed multiple successful transfers. They have also been verified by @/el-shab-hussen and featured in a video by YouTuber Ro Ramdin.
Arguably one of the coolest looking nudibranchs is the Phyllodesmium iriomotense, an aeolid nudibranch native to Japan and Indonesia. It feeds on soft corals and gets to be about 2cm long. While it is small, it definitely seems like some alien one would find on an ice-planet!
it's fascinating how modern bureaucracy has given us a sort of astral body in the realm of documents and paperwork, all the documentation that exists on me being almost like a shadow body, an imago of sorts, the movements of which İ have become so used to İ don't notice them anymore, until something about my situation changes and the physical body no longer lines up with the bureaucratic body, the changes are underway but until they are carried out in the bureaucratic dimension it is like İ am moving through the world with a lack of body, like lacking a soul, it is fascinating the way bureaucracy can make one feel disembodied
the collective "work together to block it out signs up to block it out" and urgent "we need help" walkie talkieing from staff for backup to the location while joe in the background is talking about how "democracy has prevailed" and "democracy must be preserved" and how "we're at an inflection point in history where the decisions we make now will determine the fate of our nation and the world for decades to come" before he starts talking about trump fine people both sidesing charlottesville as his personal moral inflection point… unreal
can't embed a second video inline to a reblog but here's the moment he says on both sides. like if you can't see that this is genocide whitewashing propaganda from someone who just signed off on an additional $20B in weapons… this is not a good faith conversation
there are multiple videos from different angles & in this one you see a man reaching across two aisles to hit one of the women holding the banner on the head multiple times with his we <3 joe sign
“Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
While I'm very glad this provided a relief, let's not let it be lost on us that it's that easy for them (or anyone else down the chain) to stop a genocide. Had it happened on purpose it'd be an example of how easy tech (and other) companies could stop this; an example for others to do the same. Instead, it's an example of how greed can convince you to justify, aid, and abet genocide.
None of these rich people or the politicians who pay them have any intention of helping anyone. They could with the literal press of a button. They showed us that. And every single moment since then they've shown us that they made the choice not to push that button.
i really dont understand how you can grow up your whole life hearing stories about holocaust survivors and maps of giant family trees of hundreds of people where only 2 or 3 survived or families that were separated and had to leave people behind to die and not empathize with palestinians and instead have the complete opposite reaction and say none of this is happening and that its not a genocide... i fucking hate the world so much
