My message to everyone who reads these lines is to remember that the most powerful countries in the world are killing civilians in Gaza. Do not believe them when they speak about human rights and humanity. They have no humanity. We begged them over the past 17 years to break our siege. They never listened. Yet they are rushing to kill us.

Keep my stories alive so that you keep me alive. Remember that I wanted a normal life, a small home full of my children’s laughter and the smell of my wife’s cooking. Remember that the world that pretended to be the savior of humanity participated in killing such a small dream.

Remember me, as I prepare myself to leave this world by force and go to a better one — one where the U.S. and Israel do not exist.

The OBSESSION with identity is so crazy like the view that when you do something it immediately becomes part of your identity and all the parts of you have to click together to become “person who wakes up early” or “person who reads” no you can literally just do something without restructuring your whole performance of personhood around it. I don’t know what to tell you except that you will never be able to have an entirely unfractured view of yourself or that you will be able to rationalize all the complex parts of yourself into the phrase “person who x” like you should just be doing things without performing them. Or aestheticizing them. Just try different things on and keep what works for you. Otherwise you will never learn and grow!

if you start identifying as "person who wakes up early" and restructure your entire life and personality based on your beliefs of what "person who wakes up early" should be, the moment you'll accidentally be a human and wake up late you will hate yourself and have an identity crisis

i have genuinely one of the weirdest skills to be able to brag about

i've caught five mice with my bare hands so far. like i've just frozen and pounced on them arms first like a cat. i dropped several of them immediately after my brain kicked in and realised i don't enjoy being bitten by mice but twice now i've just caught and successfully dispatched them after a prolonged moment of losing my shit while holding a mouse. like i joke privately about my beloved pet cat and family member kremen (rip) raising me better than my parents ever did but dude what the fuck. i just go into Predator Mode and pounce on these fucking mice. what the hell

this makes it funnier that when i was a kid i used to do co-op mouse hunting with our current (now old) cat snowbell. like he'd corner a mouse and i'd corner it too and wait until he moved into a good spot and i'd chase it out and he'd catch it. you guys fucking wish you were on the same level of warrior cats roleplay i was on. there is nothing wrong with me
