The last public appearance of the late Shuhada' Sadaqat (Sinéad O'Connor).
"Let’s just say that, on a human level, nobody with any sanity, including myself, would have anything but sympathy for the Palestinian plight. There’s not a sane person on earth who in any way sanctions what the fuck the Israeli authorities are doing."
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House
This is a very old Islamic tradition, still alive in parts of Turkey. When a white blanket of snow covers everything - people go to the tops of mountains peaks and scatter seeds and food for the birds through the snowing season so as not to let the birds die of starvation. This deed was started by the Muslim caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz and is narrated in various books of history and quoted as “Go and spread seeds on the tops of mountains - may the birds not die of starvation in a Muslim country.”
There are multiple reasons I'm sobbing. 1 could be how gently they are helping this dog w/an injury. Or 2, it's the way the dog is trusting them & patiently waiting while it's being helped, or maybe it's 3, the fact an entire group of Palestinian men are working together to help.4) the bandage is taken from one of the man’s injured leg. He literally took the cloth of his back to help someone else and it didn’t matter that it was a dog who required it. I sobbed whilst seeing it. The kindness of Palestinian men, I’m in complete awe.
As she is leaving, he is yelling: “she’s fine, she’s fine. Come back in 3 days for physical therapy “ ❤️❤️❤️

to anyone out there who’s struggling with having no friends — wondering where you belong in this world, searching for a place to belong — you matter. you are so important. and you will find your people or maybe just a special person who feels like home. it may seem like your loneliness will last forever, but it won’t. it never does.
do the silly thing. if you do not do the silly thing time will pass and it will not be the same silly thing it could have been. it will still be silly, and it will still be yours, but it will not be the same. this is both a blessing and a curse, but so is living; and if you do not do it now when will you? who will? it has to be you, it was always meant for you, waiting for you.

“My fear of being real, of being seen, paralyzes me into silence. I crave the touch and the connection, but I’m not always brave enough to open my hand and reach out. This is the great challenge: to be seen, accepted, and loved, I must first reveal, offer, and surrender.”

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
