Hey,
Hey,
So someone correct me if I’m wrong (I haven’t read the books in years) but this just hit me...
In the original PJO books they say something like “the reason all Greek demigods are dyslexic is because their brains are hardwired to read Ancient Greek” and my assumption has always been less that the LANGUAGE throws them off and that it’s more because of the difference in ALPHABETS
So if that’s right does that mean that the Roman demigods AREN’T?...
I know that Frank isn’t- but when I read the books as a kid my brain just kinda went- “ah, he’s just an anomaly”
But is that just the case?...

Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.
This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.

When it comes to testimonies of the generations that went through the Nakba, I have compiled a small but very rich list of resources to help keep their testimonies alive.
The website Palestine Remembered has a huge archive of over 600 videos of lengthy testimonies from Nakba survivors that are grouped according to their districts and towns.
The Nakba Archive is a big project conducted by AUB which includes interviews of first generation palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
Almashriq also has voice recordings of testimonies of Palestinian Nakba survivors who were internally displaced and the interviews are grouped according to the area where they were expelled to.
Israeli NGO Zochrot has a database of testimonies including video recordings of Nakba survivors that is regularly updated.
Lastly, written testimonies are equally important and photographer Anne Paq shared her series dedicated to pairing testimonies of Nakba survivors along with photographs of them and their grandchildren.
We all must be committed to keep these stories at the forefront of our discussions on Palestine, despite Israel's constant efforts to bury the truth (both literally and figuratively).

My Mother: It’s not porn... well it sort of is: they show butts
Me: showing butts is not the line we use to define what is or isn’t porn
My Mother: yeah, that’s true, cause they show butts in cartoons...
Me: Something being a cartoon IS NOT the line we use to define what is or isn’t porn...
