"The Notion Of Palestine Being Arab Emerges, Really, Only In The 60s. Because... What Did Israelis Do?

"The notion of Palestine being Arab emerges, really, only in the 60s. because... what did Israelis do? the colonial era is over; the Ottoman Empire is gone, finally the British are gone, and the Jewish people finally, having outlived all these empires, going back to the Roman Empire, finally restore their sovereignty. What do they do? they do what every self-respecting people in history did when the colonial people were gone- they call the country by their name, right? so Siam becomes Thailand, and the Gold Coast becomes Ghana, and Palestine becomes Israel because Palestine was the colonial name and Israel is the original, indigenous name.

Once the Jews call the land Israel... in order to present the Jews as foreign, [...] thieves, interlopers, Arabs began to hijack the name Palestine, to say, actually we are Palestine, whereas previously everyone understood it was Jews. and I love it, because sometimes you see on the internet, oh look Palestine existed, and they show, like, the Palestine football team and if you look closely all the names are like [...] all Jewish [...] because this was the Jewish football team of the Jewish state in the making, and the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra was the orchestra of Jewish exiles that became the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. So, this is a classis [...] hijacking of the Arabs of something that was very Jewish, in order to present the Jews as thieves, rather than the original owners."

וואו קיבלתי את כוח 12 באירוע לבני ובנות מצווה בעבודה של אבא שלי והייתי כזה: מה אתם מנסים להכריח אותי להיות דתיה?

אז תרמתי את הספר ושכחתי מקיומו עד לרגע הזה עכשיו

Yes, you have to except what's happening now, but not what will happen in the future. You can ask the wind to blow your way tomorrow, and sometimes it will agree. You can make plans, prepare stuff for your task and hope it will let you do things. You can also prepare to the future. Tomorrow you will go north, so do some things in the north. Maybe you can't work, but you can go for a walk. You don't have to suffer because you can't do the thing you wanted to do. Tomorrow the wind will blow in your direction, but today you can enjoy the view.

Having ADHD is a lot like being only able to travel with a hot air balloon. When the wind is right and the weather conditions are ideal, you can effortlessly go wherever you could possibly want, with almost no energy seemingly spent. And when the weather just Will Not Do That, there's nothing you can really do about it. Advice from people telling you to just fucking Grow Up And Learn To Steer don't believe you when you say you've got no steering wheel. Your explanations of navigating different wind directions at different altitudes make no sense to them.

So you just gotta accept that some days the wind goes your way, some days it won't. You can either exhaust yourself fighting the wind, accept that you're going nowhere at all today, or that the direction you are currently going is not the way you planned to go. Why am I in Uruguay.

יש לכם הצהרה על זה בצד של הקליק! זה אחד ממצבי ההתגבשות של שוקולד (אם זה מעניין מישהו אני יכולה לעשות על זה הסבר כשיהיה לי יותר זמן) ואין באמת איך למנוע שזה יקרה. זה פשוט אומר שהקליק בן כמה חודשים לפחות. זה השומן של השוקולד שעולה לפני השטח

כן כן, מוצרי אוכל בארץ בחיים לא יגיעו לרמה של יפן, שהמוצר שבתמונת האריזה נראה כמעט אותו הדבר כמו המוצר האמיתי

אבל אני מוצאת את זה מצחיק שמוצרים בארץ לפעמים זה כזה;

הדבר היחידי שמציאותי בתמונה (כשאין לה הרבה מאוד משתנים מתחילה) זה הגודל של הכדורים

You basically have four options:

1. What most of my non binary friends do, change. One sentence uncle, one sentence aunt. דוד/דודה if you prefer Hebrew

2. Use plural. That sounds unnatural, but I guess works. דודים in Hebrew

3. Use the male version. The male version is always the default one, so you can you that. דוד

4. I have heard some people use things that are in-between, like דודֶה (dode) but the can only refer to you as aunt/uncle in a gender neutral way, and of you say "my aunt/uncle is great!" The great part will be gendered

Question for nonbinary jumblr:

I’m nonbinary & need a gender neutral alternative to aunt/uncle for my nieces & nephews to call me. I know English has “auncle” & “pibling” but both sound uncomfortable to my ear. My instinct to construct an at least natural-sounding equivalent would be to go back to the etymological root for aunt & uncle to reconstruct a version that isn’t gendered. The problem is, aunt & uncle don’t share an etymological root, so this isn’t really possible.

On the other hand, דודה & דוד in Hebrew clearly do share etymology & seem like they would relatively easy to make gender neutral (besides the obvious that “gender neutral” isn’t how Hebrew typically works lol). However, I’m aware that there’s a project/movement to Queer Hebrew / introduce non-binary gender to it, and I’m curious if anyone knows what would be a way to make דודה / דוד gender-neutral?

My favorite thrift store is separated by color. So if I'm next to the yellow aisle I don't look, because I don't look good in yellow, but the red and blue aisles? I definitely look on both sides.

But usually thrift stores are separated by type of clothing? Like dresses, skirts, pants, shirts...

No Nuance. If You Don't Go Thrift Shopping, Just Answer Whatever You Think You Would Do, Whichever Option
No Nuance. If You Don't Go Thrift Shopping, Just Answer Whatever You Think You Would Do, Whichever Option

No nuance. If you don't go thrift shopping, just answer whatever you think you would do, whichever option feels more logical to you. If you are incapable of contemplating what you would do in hypothetical situations, please turn off your device and go sit on the floor. If you have some third, alternative foraging method, please share in the tags.
