In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful… We, the students of Gaza, salute the students of Columbia University, Yale University, New York University, Rutgers University, the University of Michigan, and dozens of universities across the United States who are rising up in solidarity with Gaza and to put an end to the Zionist-U.S. genocide against our people in Gaza. As we remain under the bombs of occupation, resisting Nazi genocide, grieving for our martyred colleagues and faculty, and witnessing the destruction of our universities, we welcome the examples of solidarity offered by students facing arrest, police violence, suspension, eviction, and expulsion in order to demand that their universities end their complicity in the Zionist-U.S. genocide and renounce their support for the occupation and the war profiteers that arm it. We have seen hundreds of students arrested across the United States as they work to transform their universities into “Popular Universities for Gaza.” Students, faculty, and staff are disrupting university operations and making clear that while universities in Gaza are being bombed, university business cannot continue as usual in the United States. These actions come as university administrations collaborate with members of Congress to discredit conscientious student activists and faculty, expel students, ban events, shut down student organizations such as Students for Justice in Palestine, and condemn activists working to end the Nazi genocide. At the same time, these same universities invest in the same companies that profit from the continued sale of weapons to the Zionist regime to continue its genocidal offensive. Our students – and our educational system as a whole – in occupied Palestine are subjected to ongoing genocidal aggression: our universities destroyed and bombed, our student organizations banned, and our student leaders subjected to torture, assassination and mass imprisonment. However, in Palestine and around the world, the student movement has always been a driving force of our struggle for liberation. When we see videos and images from American universities today, we are reminded of our history of student struggle as well as the student uprisings of 1968, which challenged imperialism from Vietnam to Palestine and reshaped the face of Europe and the United States. Now, in 2024, the student movement is once again leading the way. From here in Gaza, we see you and salute you. Your actions and activism matter, especially in the heart of the empire, in the United States. As members of Congress agree to provide $26 billion in additional weapons to bomb our people and continue the Zionist-U.S. genocide, you are taking meaningful action to shut down the war machine on your campuses. It is clear that a new generation is rising that will no longer accept Zionism, racism and genocide, and that stands with Palestine and our liberation from the river to the sea. Your global student solidarity is breaking boundaries, and it is time to smash the US imperialist war machine. From Gaza to Columbia, to Ann Arbor and Berkeley, our hands are joined to end Nazi genocide and achieve our collective liberation.

exceptionally thick cut bacon, egg, havarti cheese, pureed chipotle, and habaneros en escabeche
How do you say "escabeche" in English? Do ... Do they know what it is?
Google translates is just using generic terms like "pickeld" or "marinaded" 🤨
No, we (I) do not.
I tried googling for recipes, to understand the main ingredients.
Most results were for a Filipino version, even though they mostly say it was adapted from a Spanish one. All the Filipino ones seem to involve fish prepared with a sweet and sour sauce, bell peppers and onions.
The Spanish version seems to be more of a technique than a dish, where you let meat soak in a vinegary or citrusy marinade after cooking instead of before, but often also includes peppers and onions.
Do I have that right?
To be honest, I've no idea of what escabeche is exactly. It's a method to conserve food, with a very specific flavor, but it's not that I've done it myself. Like, when you buy a can of something (tuna, olives, eggplant, seafood, whatever), "escabeche" is one of the options (like, olive oil, natural, etc)
It's the kind of thing that it's hard to explain because it's so extremely common and has been there all your entire life if you live here, that's it's some basic flavor, you know? Like trying to explain how mayonnaise or chocolate tastes like to someone who doesn't know them.
loving both beer and malted milkshakes, i've had the same trouble trying to describe what "malt" tastes like - it tastes like malt?? the best i've gotten is finding something else they've tried with the same flavor "you know that other thing? it's like that" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Consider the god of salmon.
There is a god of salmon, somewhere in the gravel and the pebbles of the spawning redd. All salmon are aware of it as soon as they are born, in their own, private, fishy ways, and remember their god of salmon when they leave the spawning grounds and journey into the saltwaters beyond.
Theirs is the god of journeys and returnings.
Eventually, every salmon is struck by the urge to return to the holy lands of its ancestors. They pray to the god of salmon, asking for protection against bears and other predators on the journey.
“Deliver us from eagles,” the salmon pray.
All animals get their own gods, and those animal gods get their own prayers. The gods of mice and rabbits and other small, squeaking, hunted things usually get prayers along the lines of, “Oh please, oh please, oh please…”
Unlike those fickle gods, parishioners of the god of salmon get results.
Salmon get miracles.
A salmon returns to freshwater and discovers that it can breathe.
A salmon swimming against the current watches its spine curl, its teeth lengthen, sees grey scales turn red.
A salmon comes to a waterfall and discovers that it can fly…
Eventually the salmon complete their pilgrimage, and return to the holy lands of their ancestors.
Many raucous orgies are held.
Hallelujah.
And then, exhausted, the salmon die. The land flourishes as residual nutrients run through creeks and estuaries.
And the god of salmon continues, buoyed on the souls and prayers of millions of martyrs.
i love when a pretty girl who’s obviously weird as fuck follows me
Here are some of the donations for Congo
grape hyacinths are one of my favorite spring ephemerals. not only are they adorable, but the flowers can be used for making syrup that tastes faintly and sweetly of grapes.
and if that’s not your thing, they can also be used for making color-changing ink. the initial ink might look purple in color, but as it hits the paper and begins to dry it will turn blue. and if you add an acid, it will turn pink. and if you add a basic it will turn green (you can do this with the syrup, too!)
this happens because of naturally-occurring pigments called anthocyanins – the same pigments found in purple cabbage, violets, and blueberries!
COLOR SCIENCE 🧪
I made both this morning so now you guys can see the COLOR MAGIC 💜✨

adding on to prev's tags:
it is a sign of the rapture and the end times. But I cannot stress enough that the end goal is to collect all the Jews into one place, where they will be coerced into converting to Christianity or slaughtered in a bloodbath. And then, depending on your perspective on eschatology, there's 1000 years of global christofascist tyrrany before there's an uprising and God burns the world and we all die, or there's just a massive war between christians and nonchristians and God burns the world and we all die, and the ninchristians get sent to eternal torture yadda yadda yadda a lot of people have a lot of opinions on the order of events.
Even still, I reiterate: the point of Christian Zionism is to collect all the Jews into one place, to be deliberately genocided if they do not convert to Christianity, to kick off the glorious Christian apocalypse wherein we all die.
