I want that sickeningly sweet type of touchy love. I want to love like we’re always holding hands, like, put our arms around each other. Love like I can’t be in the same room as you without touching you. I don’t care how long it’s been, 2 months, a year, 10 years, or even more. I don’t want it to wear out. Love shouldn’t wear out to quick kisses before work. Holding hands should never grow old. I want to grow old with love. With my love.

Pictures from the Palestinian Naksa, 1967

Today, June 5th, commemorates the 50th year of Israel’s illegal occupation of Gaza, and the WB (aka Palestinian Naksa)

In 1967, Israel occupied Gaza, and the West Bank, where 280,000 to 325,000 Palestinians were uprooted from their homes, 10 Palestinian villages were destroyed, and 2 Palestinian refugee camps destroyed.

This event is known as the Naksa, the second Palestinian exodus.

(not be confused with the Nakba, the first Palestinian exodus.)

‘Men are taught not to be emotional’

Pal men are taught to throw tables across the room if they’re angry and punch people who mildly disrespect them— all of these things are emotional responses they’re just incongruous with what we consider emotional to be i.e. a sniffling teenage girl. Men are super emotional. They’re selfishly emotional. They’re so emotional that they *have* to let any living creature around them feel the pain they feel inside even for a sec.

[smitethestate]

Men are taught that anger is the only valid emotional response and it’s okay if that anger is violent.

Hmm. How about erase the colonial view that the Americas were simply available, undeveloped, uncultivated lands before the arrival of white settlers. Indigenous people live(d) on that land, engineered it, and had highly complex interactions with it. Large-scale environmental destabilization, deforestation, and pollution as we know to did not begin until the period of settler colonialism. Capitalist exploitation continues to destroy the land and the indigenous peoples on that land. Maine, for example, did have set territories of indigenous communities (Miqmaq, penobscot, etc.). Modern borders of settler nation-states do not correspond to these original territorial bounds.

What I’m saying is that people need to stop thinking that human occupation is responsible for the disastrous environmental situation we have today. There are specific cultural views of land, land use, and production that cause it. These views are not universal to human societies. Indigenous communities are more than capable of occupying land without laying waste to it, and did so for thousands of years.

[syngoniums]

All of the above, plus wtf @ the bizarre implication that a huge chunk of North America was homogenous New England-style forest, and not a tremendous diversity of vegetation well suited to their respective climates! Loving nature is not a replacement for thinking critically about how colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism have shaped how you conceive of wilderness, humanity, and the relationships between them!

[riverofmolecules]

throwing some stuff out:

european colonial settlers marveled out how the trees were conveniently wide apart enough for humans to travel through easily and all the fruits conveniently grew along these ‘natural’ paths.

at the same time, they wrote journals about how when approaching the american east coast, the skies above the forests were often black with smoke, without connecting the controlled wildfires to how humanly convenient the forests were

the amazon is as human-made as it is ‘natural’. we have evidence of its cultivation, with indigenous folk building islands of rich soil to stand over flooding waters, like the chinampas of aztec agriculture. we no longer have the knowledge to recreate terra preta, which is the uniquely rich soil created by indigenous agriculture that makes cultivation possible in the amazon

maize and potato, two crops that basically saved europe from starvation, are the result of long artificial selection by central and south americans

the idea that indigenous peoples did not cultivate the land or act upon it was a way of removing their agency and history and justifying the seizure of their land from them. adam smith wrote that the americans were hunters with no agriculture because the small maize plots they grew did not count (???) vs the advanced economy of britain
