FREE PALESTINE
Hey, Devon here. In our home, we talk a lot about how insane everything feels, and agonise constantly over what can be done to best help the Palestinians trapped in Gaza facing the full brunt of genocidal violence. My partner Rebecca has put together a list of four fundraisers you can contribute to- all of them are at work on the ground doing what they can.
-Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine

-Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla
https://www.waterislifegaza.org/
-Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also

-Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches

2025-10-18 19:45:17 +0000 UTCThis is all very meta(tron) in that the studio head is an [4 letters] the Small. Not unlike Enoch becomes A lute or a lyre? Bc a lute is...very Petrarch As to the changing the image gives some "Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham" vibes & this is during PEAK Hays which was a solitary heir to Heinrich Kramer taking the hammer to film The humor of a rabbi scoffing at *ehye asher ehye*

2025-10-18 18:20:47 +0000 UTCIdk if I'm reaching a bit here, but the setup of making a movie/play about Jesus from a Roman perspective and having to justify it to some kind of moral authority felt VERY The Master and Margarita to me
