Isa: I Have All The Money I'll Ever Need – If I Die By 4:00 P.m. Today.

just learned that you can't have a happy ending without beginnings, so rest assured i will pour my heart out in sad scenes and write dumb comedy shit for funny scenes.

Jake: Are you busy today Isa?

Isa: I’m busy converting oxygen into carbon dioxide.

Jake: I thought trees did that.

Isa: That’s photosynthesis.

Jake: So I’m thinking a spring wedding or maybe summer. I don’t want it to be too cold.

Isa: Jake, we’re not even engaged.

Jake:

Jake: thAT’S WHAT I FORGOT TO DO LAST NIGHT.

Kai: I hate my future self. I wish I was someone else. Jake: You are you. No one can take that away. Isa: Except maybe your mom.

Jake: Last week, Isa tried to flush a live lobster down the toilet "because it worked for Nemo".

Jake: 2032 is going to be my year, you just wait.

A Reminder

Palestine is not over. Palestine is not dead. Gaza, the West Bank, the entire region between the river and the sea, and the various countries across the world where refugees have fled to, house a surviving people and surviving culture. Palestine is not dead, and WILL NOT die.

I'm seeing a lot of very valid despair online, but if you're someone like me, living a privileged life in a Western country NOT under active bombardment, and which is actually COMPLICIT to some degree in that bombardment: we don't get to give up. Not now, not ever.

You can still get involved in protests or direct actions (e.g. blocking supply), you can still donate eSims or fund UNRWA on your government's behalf, you can still hassle the crap out of your local MP. No, it won't roll back the harm that's already been committed, but all of those things are STILL WORTH DOING. PEOPLE ARE STILL ALIVE OVER THERE. PALESTINE IS STILL WORTH SAVING.

If you've bothered to read this far, you're probably already aware of what's going on over there right now. If not, check out Al Jazeera's fantastic coverage. But also remember that Palestine, and Palestinian culture, is more than just death and despair. Examples below:

Long live Palestine, from the river to the sea.

Jake: We had fun! Didn’t we, Isa?

Isa: I have never been more stressed in my life.

PALESTINIAN KUFIYA RAFFLE!!

I am raffling off TWO authentic kufiya’s from Palestine!! I know they are almost always sold out and I was generously sent 2, so I figured I would try to raffle them off and help a Gazan family at the same time 🤍🇵🇸

HOW TO ENTER:

Donate the equivalent of €10 (or more) to Hani’s gofundme! This is a vetted gofundme (and a friend of my dear Elios @fallahifag 🤍) and Hani needs help getting his family out of Gaza.

Once you donate send me proof of your donation and I’ll enter your username into the raffle.

EVERY €10 DONATED COUNTS AS AN ENTRY (so if you donate €10 that is one entry, €20 is two entries, etc)

My possibly out-of-reach goal is to not choose a winner until Hani’s gofundme reaches at least €10,000. I will reevaluate if that goal isn’t being reached in a reasonable amount of time. I will use a random generator to choose two winners- you must be comfortable enough to give me a name/address to mail it to if you win. It’ll basically just be first come first serve for who gets which kufiya.

Please keep donating and FREE PALESTINE 🤍🇵🇸

thinking about all of the palestinian mothers who have been suffering miscarriages due to malnourishment and lack of access to prenatal care, all of the palestinian mothers that have had to watch their sons be taken to modern day concentration camps, all of the palestinian mothers who’ve seen their kids die as they run for water or an empty promise of a care package, all of the palestinian mothers who have had to throw birthday parties in the middle of rubble to give their kids one normal day in a war, all of the palestinian mothers ALWAYS. but especially today. 🤍
