🇵🇸 From Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA):

This Ramadan make sure you’re not breaking your fast with the taste of apartheid. All you need to do is check the label to avoid buying dates from apartheid Israel. This includes dates labelled from Israel, the West Bank and the Jordan Valley or if the country of origin is not shown. Ramadan is a time of reflection and self-improvement. During this month we are more conscious of our actions and how they affect others. Israel is the world’s largest producer of Medjoul dates. Let's be conscious of not buying dates that support Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and apartheid regime. * Major UK supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco, Iceland and Waitrose all sell dates from apartheid Israel as well as local grocery stores * The UK is the second-biggest importer of Israeli dates in Europe 50% of Israeli dates are exported to Europe, where the UK, Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy import huge quantities of the dried fruit. In 2020 the UK imported over 3000 tonnes of dates from Israel, worth roughly 7.5 million pounds. There are two peaks of date consumption in Europe. One is during the month of Ramadan and the other is during New Year’s Eve and Christmas. Boycotting Israeli dates in Ramadan is a concerted community effort that can show we are not powerless. It would be brilliant to see all Israeli dates still left on shelves across the UK and Europe at the end of the blessed month. This would reflect our strength as a community to stand together with a very important message: We will not support the oppression of Palestinians and we will not be complicit in Israeli apartheid. So, this Ramadan #CheckTheLabel and boycott Israeli dates.

With Ramadan approaching, please consider sharing!

If you're in the UK, they also have leaflets available for order on their webpage. These tie into their upcoming campaign #CheckTheLabel, with a national day of action on the 16th of February.

Again, check their webpage for more info.

some enemies to lovers kiss prompts

this one was requested to me… it was a little harder since enemies to lovers kisses are a little more plot specific but i did try! feel free to use <3

enemies to lovers post here.

“listen, let’s just forget about it.” “you mean forget about when we k—” “STOP.”

that split second before they kiss and they mentally ask themselves if this is about to happen but whoops their brain checked out hours ago and they’re about to kiss the person they hate more than anything

they haven’t talked about the first kiss they had— it was a small mistake, won’t happen again, the heat of the moment caught up to them and they still hate each other— but then suddenly there’s this moment for whatever [plot] reason and they’re gravitating towards one another and suddenly their lips are slipping over each others’

they’re teasing each other when one character goes “then kiss me” and is surprised that the other character actually does it

they’re playing a competitive game, whether it be a sport or for gym class or whatever, and while hiding, the sexual tension rises n boom they’re kissing

blurted confessions before the kiss

“yeah and it’s my fault for liking someone who—” cut off by a kiss

they’re alone in a room together in general because whew this makes for some incredible sexual tension

alternatively, they’re in a room full of people and somehow only register each other’s presence… one character sneaks away and the other follows and after a little banter they kiss in seclusion

“oh God.” “[name]…” “we just— kissed, oh God. i’m gonna be sick.”

“did you just…” “kiss my mortal enemy?… i think yes.”

“what are you thinking?” “i’m thinking i want to ask to kiss you. and i’m thinking i just did.”

ARGUING!!!!! then a heated “kiss me.” and suddenly their hands are all over each other

ALMOST KISSESSSSS!! its #that moment when they both know it’s about to happen, and God they don’t even care— but then they hear footsteps, or hear someone call them, or the phone buzzes, and the moment is gone like it never existed

“i… your lips.” “[unintelligible noises].”

that specific moment when they’re both stunned at the kiss, not only stunned that they let it happen but stunned that they don’t regret it at all

the aftermath. you as a writer need to decide if they’re going to acknowledge that it happened or going to pretend it didn’t and create more drama!!

tips

it doesn’t really matter the kiss as long as it shows not only their past and pent up anger but pent up sexual tension. it shouldn’t be something they’ve been thinking of outwardly, but something they’ve been actively trying not to think about, something they’ve been trying dearly to avoid. after all, they hate each other. so that moment when they first kiss should really solidify that “oh, i’m totally screwed” thought because they realize that the overwhelming urge to kiss their enemy didn’t just “come over” them, it was there all along.

most of all just have fun! silly kiss scenes or ones that give us second hand embarrassment are very very fun and unique. make it specific to your characters, to heighten their relationship as well!
