“no matter how badly you think you’re doing it, someone else has done it a lot worse and been fine” is applicable to a wide, wide range of things and i say it to myself all the time
when it comes to cele and bezz is there something that you especially want to explore in their dynamic or personality? i always feel like you have such fun interesting viewpoints and since these seem to be the guys of the month i got curious
omg i love this q it is so sweet and flattering!!!!!!! i learned literally everything i think from @baking-soda @f1vegas @restacks and @yekoc first of all lol. including italian translations and guided video watching of who each curly haired italian man is.
that being SAID, i am like. soooooo crazy into cele and bezz. their dynamic is like, what fanfiction was MADE for!!!!!! the broad strokes of what makes me feel so insane is it's like, yeah it's childhood best friends but there are so many layers and so much like CONTRASTS. like cele is a WEIRD NERD who wears SUNHATS and recounts all the different things his cool bros make fun of him for ("my hair, my socks, my sunglasses, and even my performance on the play station). bezz is a HOT BRO with a NIPPLE PIERCING and a BUNCH OF TATTOOS ABOUT HSI OWN RACES and a PITBULL. but also like cele loves clubbing and bezz has a lil rubiks cube luggage tag his aunt probably bought him!!
like i just think the three year age difference is so rich bc it's like, they became friends in minimoto when they were both babies but cele was like a TRU baby and bezz just liked him!! for no reason!!! and then they joined vale's insane werewolf au training camp and like, cele feels so grounded??? like obviously vale is his idol but cele's also just a spacey honest weirdo who tells vale "i packed my leathers......then i forgot them" while vale is like shrugging in an amused manner bc how did he become a middle school principal listening to a bad excuse for someone's missing science homework. but bezz is like. vale's favorite. literally looks like and has the same name as vale's tragically dead first protégé who he started the academy for. has so much to live up to and be right and is like, really fascinatingly anxious and fidgety and like. wants to be loved SO bad wants everyone to know how HARD he works and how much his SHOULDER HURTS but he's racing ANYWAY bc he's SO STRONG!! and then cele is a place where he can just like. be himself!!! be marco!!!! not try to be cool or a moto gp rider or vale's favorite, because he has such absolute trust in cele.
and i just am like, sooooooo invested in and emotional about how bezz wants/NEEDS to hug cele and touch him and hold him when he wins, how in these moments of insane adrenaline and emotional release he's just grabbing cele however he can, barely letting cele even hug pecco because he has to keep holding on. like what else does he want to do and not let himself do??? how's he gonna feel when someone ELSE realizes cele is like, the best and coolest person in the universe and has the most striking face and never is anything but himself??? i think bezz loves how stubborn cele is and how he has a steadiness in his core. and cele loves bezz because bezz is his cool hot best friend and because he can always make bezz laugh and because how could you not love someone who has loved you since you were a tiny nerd. and also bezz was like so hot (in a teen way don't cancel me) at like 18 and cele was still this insanely awkward 15 year old and you know cele was like, hopeless hopeless crush!!! but now it's not HOPELESS it's REAL!!
700 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours and the airstrikes are more violent each night. Gaza's hospitals have fuel left for two more days. Israel only allowed aid into Gaza on the condition they didn't carry fuel. The Indonesian hospital has shut down already, because doctors have no supplies and no choice but to let the wounded die. They're calling it a collapse but the term doesn't do it justice.
Over a 100 incubator babies are at risk. There are 50.000 pregnant women in Gaza right now, and 5.500 due to give birth this month. Menstruating people are taking pills in order to stop their periods, because they do not have pads or water to maintain hygiene. Surgeons are operating without anesthesia. Water is not reaching Gazans because there's no electricity or fuel for water pumps.
There's no excuse for this. Israel justifies the airstrikes by saying they want to destroy Hamas infrastructure and release the hostages, but they have refused to negotiate for their release. Hamas informed Israel they wanted to release two elderly women without anything in return, and Israel refused. Netanyahu said they wouldn't take their own civilians back because it was "mendacious propaganda." When the hostages were finally released, Netanyahu prohibited the hospital from giving press releases. Yocheved Lifshitz went behind their backs and talked to the press anyway, saying she was treated very well by Hamas, but the government abandoned them. They're being used as straw men. Israel is conditioning the entry of fuel to the release of hostages and yet, according to The Wall Street Journal, when Hamas proposed to exchange 50 hostages for fuel they denied. IDF officials have said they fear the release of more hostages because that might withhold the order to their ground invasion. They do not care as long as they can use the hostages as a pretext for their slaughtering.
There's a turning tide for Palestine in public support. Support for Israel was built through decades of propaganda and we are making a dent into it. Zionists are desperate, holding zoom meetings to promote zionism, but we have to do so much more. We have to shame people in power into supporting the Palestinian cause.
Keep yourself updated and share Palestinian voices, looking to inform yourself from the sources. Palestinians have asked of us only that we share, tweet and post, over and over. Muna El-Kurd said every tweet is like a treasure to them, because their voices are repressed on social media and even on this very app. Make it your action item to share something about the Palestinian plight everyday. Here are some resources:

Take action. You can participate in boycotts wherever you are in the world, through BDS guidelines. Right now, they are focusing on boycotting (don't be overwhelmed by gigantic boycott lists. Only boycott additional brands if you can):
Carrefour
HP
Puma
Sabra
Sodastream
Ahava cosmetics
Israeli fruits and vegetables
Push for a cultural boycott - pressure your favorite artist to speak out on Palestine and cancel any upcoming performances on occupied territory (Lorde cancelled her gig in Israel because of this. It works.)
If you can, participate in direct action or donate. Palestine Action works to shut down Israeli weapons factories in the UK and USA, and have successfully shut down one of their firms in London. Some of the activists are going on trial and are calling for mobilizing on court.
Call your representatives. The Labour Party in the UK had an emergency meeting after several councilors threatened to resign if they didn't condemn Israeli war crimes. Calling to show your complaints works, even more if you live in a country that funds genocide.
