Whiskey Peak is interesting to me because of how not united the Straw Hats are. And sure, Nami blackmailing Zoro into doing her dirty work for her, Zoro’s fight with Luffy, and Nami’s decision to quit the crew are all played for laughs but it is a pretty big indication of how far they have to go as a group. You don’t see this kind of dysfunction again until the Water 7 arc.

"It might be hard to believe that this video was taken today after 155 days of genocide and war and continuous death and bombing even though Gaza still astonishes me because every single day I walk to a new place I find places that are full of beauty and life, its like the land itself is resisting to be killed to be demolished and to be wiped from the planet earth, long live Palestine and for God’s sake ceasefirenow🇵🇸"

The first step to resistance in any way, shape or form is to have hope. When you learn about this, it's easy to realize that half the efforts being put into crushing any attempts at fighting back against systemic opression are all about making you feel hopeless.

Change is possible. It's already happening. Humans care about each other and they are good at working together because we (quite literally!) evolved to be together. There is no inherent evil or good about us, but we have to power to do both. Choosing to do better is an everyday decision, and you and I can do it.

We can change. We can fight back. But first, we must have hope.
