It’s True Oh what a hard time I have loving you as I love you. On account of your love I have an air ache, a heart ache, a hat ache. Someone please buy this hatband of mine and this fine-spun white sadness perfect for kerchiefs! Oh, what a hard time I have loving you as I love you.
and this fine-spun white sadness
Federico García Lorca, tr. Christopher Maurer

Perfection.
Su querida, lo lamento mucho sobretodo por tu critura. Muchas emociones que no se identifican, la confusión de lo sorpresivo del hecho y tu hijo querido.
Otro abrazo más y los que se necesiten.
Te quiero.
Te mando un gran abrazo. Apretado apretado, de esos que reconfortan.
Please God let this be true.
Please God let the rebuilding begin.
Please God let there be accountability & justice.
Please God may everyone still alive be brought to safety & care.
Please God may those with power now choose a more whole, more healed future for all the human beings in the region.
"... whoever saves one life, it is as if they had saved the whole of mankind"- Quran 5:32
"if one destroys a single life, it’s as if they destroyed an entire world, while if one saves a single life, it’s as if they saved an entire world..." Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5
sticks and stones may break your bones;
words can crush and break your soul.

When you see this video pop up, you must watch it. And share it
Two black and white photos of a soldier who has received a facial injury during World War I. In the first photo, his injuries are on display. In the second photo, he is wearing a facial prosthetic (mask) that covers his injuries.
Facial prosthesis, c.1917. THREAD🧵
From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed.

people were so grateful for the polio vaccine he invented that they kind of ruined jonas salk's life for a while. he couldn't eat at restaurants without being interrupted. hotels upgraded him to the penthouse suite without asking. airline pilots would announce when he boarded so people could clap
Krampy got the Latin at him.

En 1935 se convocó el concurso "el bebé ario más hermoso"
Ganó una imagen de una niña, cabello claro,un gorrito, ojos grandes, piel de porcelana.
Era Hessy levinsons, una niña judía que el fotógrafo explicó que la había enviado a los nazis como manera de ridicularizarles.
Christmas is in no way secular. One can celebrate a religious holiday in a secular fashion (like not fasting on YK but having a break fast party anyway) but that doesn’t make the holiday itself not religious.
Please keep me in your thoughts today. Everything's fine I am just incredibly needy.
People are a lot like books except I look forward to books showing up at my front door unannounced
The holiday season is approaching, and that means warm drinks, cold rain and plenty of time for reading.
Today I bring you a list of some beloved festive classics.
The original draft of "Bohemian Rhapsody" was a Thanksgiving song.
"Mama,
Just killed a bird.
Baked his wings, his thighs, his breasts
Mixed up Stove Top now he's dressed."

(this is NOT a nazi bar)
amplify good folks
cheer ppl on
we're glad to cheer you & your work on
you are not a brand
be a human being
No, you don't know me. I'm not *that* interesting, but I do follow you in other plataforms and... well... tha's it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you want to think about history for a little bit - today on Gone Medieval I talked to Nora Berend about Rodrigo Díaz - or el Cid - about how we use historical figures to explain our world, and how Franco is a bellend. You can check it out here, or wherever, really:

Martha Stewart's recipes on her website always have low ratings but if you read the reviews it's because for some reason the demographic of people rating the recipes are always confused and can't figure out how to use the website or actually assign stars, which is objectively hilarious.
The biggest reason I believe in Gd and Torah is bc I believe the stories we tell about ourselves and each other are just as potent (sometimes more so) than the Actual historical record, and while I understand why many consider this a fatal flaw w humanity I consider it to be our greatest strength
