    I forgot to save that picture of Yahya with a pistol wearing white shirt and black suit. He was pulling the gun out, very much like an action movie still. Now I can’t find it, help?

    Going to do a solo trip for the first time in my life (I think?). It’s only two days and not even that far from where I live lol but I’m excited. I’m going to hike along a river through some valley and sleep somewhere along the way.

    My relationship is fine if anybody is wondering. We were just discussing doing stuff like this alone the other day and figured I might use my days off in a good way since I’m banned from entering Paris for unrelated reasons.

    I want to start a co-operative, tbh.

    For a fictional series…

    But idk, seems unethical for me as a Marxist-Leninist.

          as far as i know a co-op is a model where all the employees share profits based on the work they do so it shouldnt be immoral. But also even if it was we live in a capitalist society we cant really help but participate in immoral systems to some extent if we want to survive. As long as your doing your best to be fair to people, and everything i dont see a problem with it. A lot of people will also just do stuff like that on their own tho so idk if you need a co-op for it. Like self publishing online is doable by yourself.

            I guess.

            I’m more worried about doing a small business that’s NOT a co-op.

            Like, if a co-op isn’t possible, will I resort to just a small business model?

            And is that right, even if it’s necessary for me to survive that way?

            Idk

    Should I text former classmates to tell them how I didn’t like their ableist behavior towards me? I feel like I have to do it in order to move on.

      It finally dawned on me that I had heard about him elsewhere… here:

      To demonstrate how wide the findings are going into the depth Palestinian society we mention here that almost the entire high‐level politicians of the PLO, as well and the majority of Hamas leaders, are of a Jewish origin. This includes Mahmud Abbas (Abu Mazen — a descendant of a family of Rabbis), the late Dr. Saʻeb Erikat, Jibril Rajub (Argov), Maruwan Barguti, Nabil Shaʻat, Khanan Ashrawi, from the Fatah movement, […] Khanin Zuabi, and late sheikh Akhmad Yassin, Ismail Haniʻya, Dr. Mussa Abu Marzuk, Muhammed Def, Dr. Aziz Duwek (a Cohen), and above all Yikhyeh Sinuar from Hamas.

      How could I have forgotten?

      Only recently did I learn that the Palestinians have a word for their Maccabean spirit: sumud. Learning about how Sinwar perished in combat, I was reminded of something as I was doing research for this thread:

      A transport of prisoners from Bergen‐Belsen Concentration Camp arrived at Gas Chamber II of Auschwitz. In the undressing room, one of the Jewish women seized SS man Josef Schillinger’s pistol and shot Schillinger and another guard, Wilhelm Emmerich!

      You can see that sumud runs in the family.

      Unfortunately, not all Jews choose to harness their gifts; some try to imitate their conquerors instead.
