You probably didn't know this ( don't worry I didn't too until recently ), but your health becomes a part of your job when you decide to be a writer.
Yeah. You can't rot in your bed with those documents. You kinda have to be healthy. A good brain remains in a good body.
It's an advice I heard from a few authors. The latest is R.F. Kuang, who runs a few miles every morning because it helps her writing.
Your body fuels your brain. Please stay healthy and intact.
“The other side […] are the stories of the effect of war on human beings who take up the call.” HBO has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary titled We Are Not Done Yet, which is a 40-minute short doc that will premiere on HBO in early November. Directed by filmmaker Sareen Hairabedian and produced by Jeffrey Wright, We Are Not Done Yet profiles a group of veterans and active-duty service members as they come together to combat past and current traumas through the written word, sharing their experiences in a United Service Organizations (USO) writing workshop. This looks like a very emotional, deeply moving, empowering film about how important it is for veterans and service members to support each other as a way of coping with the mental struggles that come with war. It looks like it’s worth your attention for their sake.
Here’s the official trailer for Sareen Hairabedian’s doc We Are Not Done Yet, from HBO’s YouTube:
This documentary follows ten U.S. veterans and active-duty service members from varied backgrounds who come together at the USO Warrior and Family Center in Bethesda, Md. for a workshop led by poet Seema Reza and Community Building Art Works. Striving to combat their traumatic military pasts via the written word, they share fears, vulnerabilities and victories, using their writing as a tool for bonding, empowerment and healing, and engaging in a live performance of a collaborative poem at Washington, D.C.’s Lansburgh Theater under the direction of actor Jeffrey Wright. We Are Not Done Yet is directed by Jordanian-American filmmaker Sareen Hairabedian, an animator in addition to a director - see more of her work on Vimeo. This just premiered at the GI Film Festival San Diego last month. HBO will release We Are Not Done Yet streaming exclusively starting on November 8th next month. Who’s interested in this?

THIS POEM IS WANT merthurweek day two —Seema Reza
‘I wish for death’ - Twelve-year-old Alma says. She fled bombing and shelling twice before the third place they sheltered was bombed, She was rescued from the rubble only to find out both her parents and all four of her siblings had been killed. She found her 18-month-old brother in an unimaginable state. Her little brother was beheaded from the rubble after the IOF massacred them.

this ramadan we pray for peace and aid for the people of palestine. this ramadan we remember the previous ramadans, where thousands of palestinians were massacred. this ramadan we honour palestine, and may we see a free palestine next ramadan
In order to show my support for palestine, I thought I would make a post— in typical bird nerd fashion— highlighting some information about one of the many symbols of freedom for the palestinian people: the palestine sunbird.
you’ve seen this bird everywhere lately I’m sure,
so, you may be wondering.. why is this bird so important?
In 2013, Israel campaigned to remove ‘palestine’ from the bird’s name. this failed, however, when the palestine wildlife society (PWS) petitioned to instead adopt it as palestine’s national bird as a direct defiance of the campaign.
in 2015, the palestine sunbird was officially declared the national bird of palestine.
the palestinian artist khaled jarrar designed a border control stamp featuring the sunbird with which he stamped passports as a cry for freedom.
more recently, khaled jarrar has also created these postal stamps for the same message— in defiance of israel’s efforts to erase palestine.
here you can find an incredible, short documentary detailing his work across the years to use his art as a protest against the plight of the palestinian people.
another palestinian artist, rasha eleyan, uses the sunbird in her work as a motif for the strength and boldness of palestinian women:
(source)
the palestinian poet tamim al-barghouti has tied the palestine sunbird’s beauty to resilience, in saying: “whenever you face injustice or roughness, remember to defend yourself by finding beauty… document, prove, and defend it because all beauty is resistance.”
the palestine sunbird is a symbol of hope and strength. It’s a symbol of fighting back against the odds and refusal to go quietly into the night— refusal to be erased.
continue to support palestinian artists.
continue to support palestine.
raise the voices of those who now, more than ever, need to be heard.
from the river to the sea, palestine will be free.
Harm Happening Around the World
Please note that there are actually more humanity crisis situations happening about the world.
Over 100 journalists have been killed in Gaza since October 7th.
There is a heart wrenching video of a father who went to buy biscuits for his son only to return and find out his son and the man's wife had both been killed by an Israeli air strike. He is seen putting the pack of biscuits in his son's hand and saying "take it with you to heaven".
There is an indescribable pain to all of this, and I don't know what Israel thinks it's doing by ripping everyone's heart out like this if not to make the whole world resent the mere mention of it.
I don't think the question we should be asking at this point is "how do you justify this?" anymore, even if rhetorically. We need to understand that it is simply irrational to expect an occupying power that built itself on ethnic cleansing to provide any means of reasoning.
This is genocide, you don't debate genocide and you don't rationalise genocide.
I don't care what you do, but speaking about Palestine doesn't suffice anymore. Speak louder, force people to have uncomfortable conversations, call whoever the heck your representative is, go out to rallies if you can, push others to do the same - this is unlike anything we have seen.

I was going to link to Standing Rock Institute of Natural History’s gofundme, but it appears it is no longer active. Here’s the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s general donation page.
The Standing Rock reservation has an astonishing wealth of fossil remains, and a relatively young paleontology program, but not much in the way of resources. Here’s the program’s Get Involved page, and here’s a really cool video talking about the subject from PBS’s Prehistoric Road Trip, if you have six minutes to spare.

this has almost 11 million notes what is this
I’ve never seen this post once in 10 years on this site
@hellsite-hall-of-fame
I’ve never even heard of this before tho??? Wtf??????????
oh my god, I didn’t think there were any surviving versions of this post left
For those who weren’t around in the Deep Lore times, this is one of the relics of the editable post era. This post has THE SINGLE HIGHEST NOTES of ANY post on this site, bar none, but with more than a dozen variations. Every single post you’ve ever seen with more than 3 million notes has been a different version of this one.
This is the “Dean’s Gym Shorts” post. This is the Flubber post. This is the original “Reblog if you support gay people” post. it was ALL of them. before half the site got nuked, it had even more notes than it has now - at one point, well over 15 million, and that was years ago.
This, with no exaggeration, is the ONE TRUE heritage post
This website truly is bizarre

Since 1990, a devastating genocide has been unfolding in the heart of Africa, claiming millions of innocent lives- several of whom have…
You know what breaks my heart more than anything? Palestinian children are trying to describe the atrocities they're witnessing using English instead of their native tongue to try and get their message heard globally. Palestinian children are also describing the scenes in Gaza while sounding like grown ups and not children because they've witnessed too much at such a young age. These children were deprived of their childhood. Their circumstances forced them to mature and be able to talk about watching their loved ones die. They are literally trying to speak a second language to try and call world leaders to stop killing them and their loved ones. World leaders cannot even utter the word "ceasefire" while a Palestinian child had to explain on camera that she recognized her friend's body only by her coat because her friend's body was beheaded in the bombings.
It's not a conflict; it's ethnic cleansing.
It's not a conflict; it's colonialism.
And if you're somehow convinced that any of this is about religion or antisemitism, I recommend you read this.
News Attention to Deadly Conflicts Since Year 2000, measured in pages published per fatality.
One of these things is not like the others
While I know that the big outlier that people are focusing on here is Gaza, I just want to quickly point out how incredibly low the coverage ratio is for Congolese deaths, especially given that that genocide has been characterized by extensive cannibalism. The Congo region mines, processes, and exports huge amounts of tin, copper, gold, diamonds, lithium and, crucially, over 70% of the world’s cobalt. In all likelihood, spoils of that specific genocide are powering the very device that you are reading this post on. There are political reasons why people are making disproportionately more noise about Gaza, yes. But if we’re going to be making these comparisons, then we need to state this outright as well: that there are equally vile political reasons why people are making disproportionately less noise about the Mbuti genocide.
