The Reason Carcinisation Happens Is Because Crustaceans Are The Ocean Residents With The Greatest Awareness

The reason carcinisation happens is because crustaceans are the ocean residents with the greatest awareness of what happens beyond the veil of reality, and are therefore the most fervent "worshippers" (fans) of The Great Old Ones, gaining their favour.

I attended a writing seminar online and a few of the attendees were from Gaza, some of them told us they were joining from their tents.

I wish I can summarise everything that we talked about but one topic kept coming up and I think it's really important for us to keep in mind while talking about Gaza and Palestine.

It's true that sometimes it feels as though we have created an image of this Gazan Hero who has endured and fought to survive on the land time after time, reemerging victorious each time - not considering that this supposed hero did not have a say in their fate; without considering how thoughts like this strips Gazans from their basic human traits.

It was like a punch in the gut to hear the words of this emerging author talking to us from her tent in Gaza, almost begging the listeners to understand that she is unable to write because she can't stop thinking about her embroidered dresses she had to leave behind. Or the other displaced man who chimed in to say that he can't write because he can't reason with the fact he's still alive.

Another person from Gaza told the story of how when the news of American soldiers aiding in the massacres in Gaza came out, he overheard a man say something like "they can bring in all of the US military, we are not scared" and he describes how angry that phrase made him, and how he ran home and wrote and wrote and wrote nonstop.

So this is a reminder to you and me that when we talk about Gaza, to remember their humanity and to put it at the forefront of our discussions; Gazans feel scared, they feel hate and love, they feel ashamed, jealous, angry and even defeated.

To create this image of the Gazan Hero is truly harmful when you realise that it's in fact part of the bigger issue of dehumanising Palestinians as a whole.

Also, vote. It might just kick the ball down the road a bit, but that gives people more time to organize a concerted resistance (in no way on any social media platform) to the fascist creep happening in America. It is possible to take this country from the bastards who control it, it will take work, effort, and occasionally going offline and talking to humans though.
