i truly don't know how i'm supposed to work on anything right now. i already struggle every single day with finding motivation. and now, in the shadow of this, who cares?
know many of y'all are also going through it. love to y'all. and above all, free palestine.
"The Israel Defense Forces are looking the hospital attack, spokesperson Daniel Hagari said, adding that it was unclear if the cause was an IDF strike or a failed Hamas launch."
right. right. fuck off. "we're all trying to find the guy who did this" but literally evil
The way some governments and the media is tackling this is also so fucking... ugh theres no word for it
It’s infuriating how horrid the world is and how so much of the media/governments are just belittling it. Free Palestine.
Above all, free Palestine.
Your work helps me get through the difficult times in my life. I grew up starved for thoughtful voices and finding Friends at the Table introduces me to so many works, creators and podcasters that brightened my life. In the face of this cruelty we do what we can.
Nothing I can say can really encapsulate how I feel about this, so I am saying what I feel I must and little else. I am continuing to put one foot in front of the other. Free Palestine. Solidarity and strength to y'all.
I keep telling myself that the best things I can do when faced with the sheer cruelty of the world around me, is to keep trying to change it in the places that I can control. But it all seems very useless right now regardless.
At the same time, giving up isn't an option, so I keep doing what I can.
Yeah, I just. I don't know how to keep going day-to-day, It feels meaningless under the weight of seeing atrocity after atrocity, feeling like I can't do anything but bear witness. Wife asked how much of our budget we can spare for helping people affected, we figured it out and I wish it was more but that's all that I feel like I can do that means anything.
I wanted to talk more about my concern about your daily life; gut-reaction was to write a long-winded response about it. But, I feel like I would have messed that up.
Instead I'll just say I live a more richer and clearer life because of all the real world issues you bring awareness to (Ex. Palestine, labor, etc).
I feel like you are like a Jpop music Idol in that you give a lot to the world (on the spectrum from the serious to leisure subject matter) with all that you do. Even though doing this could be at your own cost (mental, resources, situational, etc -well being).
Thanks for doing all that you do.
These are dreadful times and like many I feel as though I'm only able to bear witness- for what it's worth your work is a beacon, we'll be needing voices that don't flinch away from describing the truth of empire more than ever. Coming from my depression nest this is laughable, but please do not give in to despair.
