To This Day People Will Cry Over The Knowledge And Works Destroyed When The Library Of Alexandria Was

To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.

And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.

Saint Porphyrius Church, built in 1150 and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.

It's not an accident.

Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.

Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.

It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.

Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.

But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.

There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.

Traditions they've carried for centuries.

So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.

Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.

Mcr is so funny bc it's like what if you took essentially the greatest guitarist of the 21st century who is a weird film major, the self appointed reincarnation of Joan of Arc if Joan of Arc was like. really into batman, a scene queen who looks like he's being puppeted around by the ghost of a dead Victorian child with a hunger for britpop, and the guy who showed up to every single one of their gigs until they just forgot he wasn't in the band and also couldnt go a day without maiming himself or someone else. And then what if they made some of the most gut wrenching gorgeous music I've ever heard in my life

laura jane grace is such a legend. she burned her old birth certificate onstage, waved at it, and shouted, “Bye-bye, gender!” into the mic. she worked with Food Not Bombs after dropping out of high school. she refuses to transition in ways people would expect her to, because she’s comfortable with certain parts of her body and refuses to give into pressure to look or act as cis as possible. this woman is so badass, go research her right now please.

You either die begging the homophobic TV network to make your character gay, or you live long enough to see said TV network beg you to make yourself bisexual.
