SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO STILL TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AFTER DEPRESSION HIT THEM HARD. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH RECOGNITION FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO LOSE INTEREST AND MOTIVATION AGAIN BUT PUSH THEMSELVES TO DO STUFF ANYWAYS. YOU ARE FIGHTING A DAILY BATTLE WITH YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND YOU’RE STILL COMING OUT ON TOP, YOU’RE ALL BRAVE AS FUCK

Many people misunderstand the nature of the struggle for Palestine. They consider Palestine to be contested land between Israelis and Palestinians. The facts about the struggle are simple:  1. There was no entity called Israel before 1948  2. There was no Israelis before 1948  3. There is no meaningful verifiable connection between modern Israeli and the Israelites of the Bible. Modern Israelis are not Semitic and came to Judaism through conversions.Also, the Hebrew Bible, the only source of the mythology about Israel and the Israelites, is unreliable.  4. European colonial settlers transported mainly from Europe settled and colonized historic Palestine by force and without the consent of the indigenous population, the Palestinians.  5. The settler colonists established Israel in Palestine in 1948 by Jews of Jews for Jews with the active support of western colonial powers after ethnically cleansing the majority of the Palestinians, destroying more than 530 Palestinian towns and city sections, and committing scores of heinous crimes against Palestinian civilians to bring about their expulsion.  6. Since 1948 Israel created an elaborate apartheid system that favors Jews, discriminates against the Palestinians, and is designed to maintain control and dominance of Israeli Jews over Palestinians by using genocidal methods and preventing their return, equality and normal living conditions.  Palestine is not a contested territory. Palestine has its rightful owners, the Palestinians.Palestine is settled, colonized, and occupied by a foreign population..!

Speak with courage, with substance, with sincerity. Speak with a tone that demands respect, a tone that respects, a tone that is sure of itself.

http://www.gofundme.com/Kristyn_Morocco To study abroad in Morocco I need about $3000. Let me tell you, EVERY dollar counts. If you can’t spare a dollar, please repost this. Maybe someone out there can. There are many reasons that I want to go to Morocco. First and foremost, to be honest, I NEED to graduate on time. When I graduate, I will, hopefully, go abroad to teach English to Arabic students of all ages. This is my dream. Secondly, since the summer of 2012, I have been engulfed in the Arabic language and culture. I. Absolutely. Love. It. Before 2012, I had never seen or talked to an Arabic speaking person. Since being immersed in this culture I have grown in so many ways. I have now realized how horrible it is to be ethnocentric. In July 2014, I converted to the religion of Islam. I have found a since of peace and fulfillment that I couldn’t get anywhere else. It is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have never gotten the opportunity to travel abroad. If you can, help me reach my dream, and complete my goals in life. I understand if you can’t, But, please try to pass this on to someone who can. The deadline is April 15, 2015. I am truly grateful for anything you can do.

The secret to getting away with lying is believing it with all your heart, that goes for lying to yourself even more so than lying to another

My 5 Star Review

I will admit I was scared to go into this. As excited as I was to read it I was not sure how Aleatha was going to top Tony...

Reading Consequences by Aleatha Romig:

I am just like:

I don’t want to read it anymore!! But I have to know the ending!!

[the-protagonist-of-my-story]

Claire once read time doesn’t pass at normal speeds with a black hole. If one were to travel into a black hole for only moments and return again, centuries would have passed. That explained the sensation she felt, once again peering into his dark gaze.

Has anyone else read Consequences by Aleatha Romig or am I the only one writhing and convulsing in confusion, angst, and tears?

Consequences

I just can't get over the Consequences saga. I can't get these characters and their world out of my head. I would really like to talk about this series with someone. I spend the entirety of last week reading these books, and they just won't go away. How can I come back to reality??
