urania im so sorry honey you deserved better i love you

So I am going to give everyone a guide on how public transit gets built in America using the example of the 2 systems undergoing the largest expansions currently, Seattle, and LA.

How to build a Metro System in the US

Organize transit advocacy groups (your city is probably currently here)

Elect pro transit leaders to a city council

Make transit an issue by talking to people about it, speaking at local government hearings and in general showing how it is neede

Get the city government to begin a study on the Environmental impact of a metro system

During the study make your voice heard by planners

Have the City council vote to hold a transit levy ballot measure

Vote in favour of the ballot measure

Stay informed on the transit project to insure it stays as what was promised to voters

Wait for construction to finish

Ride the new metro system

Art vs real☺💜

Messing up with csp tools

I was asked why there's a zionist claim that the Palestininian identity is not legitimate. And I think it's important to understand why Palestinians as a whole are seen as a threat by Israel. To understand why it's not about Hamas.

The claim is that the Palestininian identity was made up in order to push us out. Palestinian existence is a threat to the legitimacy of Israel as a country.

I was taught in school that Palestine was empty when we got here. They used a Mark Twain quote. It was a barren land full of swamps and some nomadic people (Beduins) but as soon as we wanted to come here, the awful antisemitic Arabs sent people to settle here before we could to take up the space. I was in school in the settlements though. I was taught the most extreme version of this.

Another version of this is that Palestine was never its own thing, they're just Arabs the same as all Arabs from the surrounding countries. So they could just... scooch over and give us the space, please and thank you. In Israel no one uses the term Palestinian. If I do, people roll their eyes and dismissively go "Arab." An Arab is an Arab. It's a way to strip away their unique identity and blend them in with the rest to say they could always move to Jordan, or Syria, or Lebanon, and it's all the same to them.

It's a way to make Palestinian existence by itself into a malicious plot to deny us a homeland.

Because if Palestinians exist as a distinct group of people, we aren't the only ones with a connection to this land. And you don't create an ethnostate by sharing.

I see other forms of this mentality. Why won't all these Muslim countries take the people of Gaza as refugees? That's asking why they won't help Israel make its ethnic cleansing more neat and convenient. Yes, refugees should be taken in and given shelter. But this question shifts responsibility away from Israel. Palestinians shouldn't be forced suffer either ethnic cleansing that leaves them as refugees, or a genocide.

for most characters, their character color is the same as their hair color. for some characters, such as hajime and niki, it is their eye color. there are only five exceptions to this rule — yuuta and hinata, whose colors reference the colors they've chosen to differentiate themselves; midori and chiaki, whose colors reference their roles as ryuusei green and red; and rei, for no obvious reason. why purple? if anything, wouldn't it make more sense for his color to be black or dark red? on the surface, rei appears to have no connection to the color dark purple. however, looking deeper, the answer becomes obvious. otogari adonis—

I know someone who calls herself a feminist, puts her pronouns in her work email signature, donates money to women’s empowerment funds, and thinks we should deport more refugees. I also know someone who calls people ‘pussies’ when he plays video games, who doesn’t know what a pronoun is, and, for his defence of low-wage women workers in a highly-exploited industry, is a better, more strident defender of the rights of working-class women than almost anyone else I know. Of these two people, I know who is on my team, and who I want on my team, yet the standard liberal feminist calculation would have me chose the woman who loves a little deportation over the man who is occasionally uncouth, solely because the woman knows to keep her language civil, and the man doesn’t. Liberal feminists get incredibly caught up in the politics of language, because language is all they have. They don’t have a revolutionary programme for overthrowing patriarchy, so they’re forced to tinker around the edges of it, quibbling over word choice and jargon instead of building the coalitions necessary for destroying patriarchy.
