To combat the rise to fascism & purity culture. I want everyone who sees this to take up to 10 minutes and write the most messed up poem, micro fiction or draw the most unhinged doodle or put together a truly absurd collage with what you have on hand.

Don’t censor yourself. You might feel it happening. Like this invisible critic keeping you from going too far, being too strange. Keeping you boxed into what’s acceptable, morally correct.

& just keep practicing - until you can shake that little morality police free.

And for bonus points spend some time getting to know surrealist artists and activists who were doing this during the rise of fascism in the 1930s

And if surrealism isn’t your style- if it’s too serious & you like things a little more absurd check out Dada

while not an actual action item for the general strike, you could also find some Palestinian recipes to cook. Part of the attempted erasure of Palestinian identity has been Israeli appropriation of recipes/foods. (And some pan-Arab foods too)

[tunameltd0wn]

if anyone wants to know where to look (and who to follow & support), here are some places posting Palestinian recipes:

mxriyum (link to her website, also on youtube, tiktok, instagram, and twitter as @\mxriyum) is Palestinian herself and has many Palestinian recipes up!

Palestine in a Dish (website link here) is a Palestinian recipe blogger who is also on instagram I think!

Falasteeni Foodie (website link here) is another Palestinian recipe blogger who can be found on tiktok and instagram under the handle @\falasteenifoodie

@najia-cooks has posted a lot of Palestinian recipes, I think everything is vegan as well so if you need dairy-free, egg-free, meat-free recipes it's a great source. everything is very thoroughly researched as well

moribyan (link to her website, also on youtube, tiktok, instagram, and twitter as @\moribyan) has a Palestinian food series, though she is Moroccan and Libyan herself (hence the name).

these are all the ones I personally know of, but I'm sure there are more out there so please share them if you know of any others :)

I totally recommend the YouTube channel Middle Eats. They make all sorts of middle eastern food including Palestinian and it’s very well produced

[ID/ four photos of the side of the shoulder of a worn black leather jacket decorated with different abstract silver chainmail like ornaments. The first one resembles dragon scales, the second one is a smaller patch of dragon scales with six dangling from the bottom, the third resembles a snowflake with three teardrops dangling, and the last one is a chainmail inverted spearhead shape with four dangling points in the middle and more bordering the point of the spearhead shape. /End ID]
