the famously non-religious mandate of heaven

mcdonald’s is franchised, so locations are technically owned and operated by independent owners. the franchisee that owned all the israeli locations gave the free meals to the IOF and in response corporate is buying back their locations from the franchisee. corporate shows no intention of stopping doing business in israel.

early “christian” (at this time they did not self identify as christians, only much later did it become a term they used for themselves) communities organized together in house churches, pooled money/resources together in a communal fashion, and ate vegetarian meals after church service in the morning. i wonder what the first christians would think of modern day christians.

parachute cargo pants look really cute! and yeah madewell is expensive but they do have good looking stuff, so its worth it i guess? thanks for the recommendation

i’m pretty short (5’4), so finding pants/jeans is always a pain in the ass. but i’ve had success with old navy and their sizing which has short leg sizes that i dont need to cut or cuff. but thanks for the jewelry recommendation! i’ll be looking.

that does sound really awesome. i do know some local places with vintage clothes, they just hike the prices up a little because its trendy or whatever.

thanks, i’ll try looking at more places for that. i took a peek at a local goodwill but only found a bunch of really awful looking and low quality fast fashion stuff. but it’s not the only second-hand store out there.

Biden supports a two state solution, Trump supports a one state solution. If you want peace between Palestine and Israel you would vote Biden. If you want war, feel free not to.

“biden is doing genocide, but have you considered trump will do genocide too? so naturally, to stop genocide, we must vote for biden”

so many against me songs are depressive yet really beautiful. joy, searching for a former clarity, i still love you julie, and especially paralytic states. that song is like a knife in the heart for my dysphoria lmao.

i’m so tired - fugazi. this song has accompanied almost every depression breakdown i can remember.

if you get onto their mailing list, they send out emails when the distributors receive shipments of them from palestine. i got one immediately after getting an email about a restock of a few of them.

wendy carlos. an early pioneer of synthesizer music (she was a part of creating and popularizing the moog and even made a few synths of her own). she has lived out as a trans woman since 1968 and did the soundtracks for a clockwork orange, tron (1982), and the shining. i also own a copy of her album switched-on bach on tape and vinyl and it’s a masterpiece of synthesizer work. her website is also visually unchanged since the 90s.

beth elliott. a lesbian trans woman who was a folk singer in the 70s and made a lot of awesome songs. she was a huge part of her local lesbian/feminist organizing in her area in the time, serving in the leadership of many orgs. but in the orgs she served with, she was consistently harassed and attacked mercilessly by TERFs from within the orgs. i think her story goes to show that we have been, since the early days, instrumental in organizing these spaces with other feminists and lesbians and yet even back then they’ve attacked us for it.

i don’t know much about her life, but there’s a trans woman named linda phillips who wrote a little section about her life that ended up in feinberg’s “trans liberation: beyond pink or blue”. in it, she wrote a sentence that i think about every single day and one day i’ll get tattooed somewhere. “i have actually had the best of any life i could dream of”. in the face of medical professionals and transphobes and all saying how much it must suck to be trans and trying to define our existence by suffering, it is a bold statement that out of any of the lives she could have lived, this one where she lived out as herself was the best one she could have lived.

i’ve been wearing mine every day (which, by the way, ones made by hirbawi are unbelievably soft and beautiful) and have gotten quite a few hostile reactions to it. even people outright saying its “disturbing to see” and one guy yelling “fuck you”. and they call the left snowflakes… they’re offended over a beautiful scarf.

something like this integrated with space exploration would be super cool as well. im thinking: you can travel to different planets and collect plants from them and they have different genetic traits that you can bring back to your farm and crossbreed them with your plants with a somewhat accurate replication of mendelian and non-mendelian genetics. or maybe this is just my own fantasy as a biologist lmao.

yeah, from what i remember, they pioneered a form of it called double-barrel shotgun sequencing, where both ends of the sequenced DNA fragment are analyzed for overlap instead of just one.

shotgun sequencing predates celera and the HGP, but yeah

don’t make me bring up the mountain of grease-soaked fried foods that brits find acceptable as a meal. even as an american, i haven’t seen so much fried food in one place. and i’ve been to the southern united states many times.

i have yet to see a dish touted as “israeli” that hasn’t been stolen from one of the many existing cultures in the region. couscous, hummus, its all stolen.
