Hanif Abdurraqib, They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us

ive been thinking about you a lot lately
i wish i could crawl inside you and forget everything like i used to
wrap your entirety around me and hide in the feelings
that i always run from
do i want to know you?
be you?
become one with you?
i wonder what your heart looks like when youre not looking
when youre alone, vulnerable, raw
ribcage split in half
ive seen you more these days
im not happy
my mania could only last so long, its never long enough to pretend
i can pretend with you though, a little,
enough
but it's still not enough
nothing is
you seem happier
i wonder what you talk to your therapist about
is it your imposter syndrome? your denial of connection? your hesitancy to know yourself, be yourself?
your fragile ego?
lack of self esteem, self worth?
you're always hiding
it's okay, i like to hide too
i have a lot of bad thoughts lately,
but nowhere to put them
i wish i could tell you everything
have you understand me at my core,
look at me and see me wholly,
for the everything and nothing that i am
you want it, too
don't you?
“well, the chat gives a lot of feedback: some of it’s extremely unwelcome, some of it’s very good. [..] sometimes they can be extremely informative, sometimes they can be really nasty, sometimes they can be extremely malicious. [..] you kinda have to take the good with the bad when it comes to a giant chatroom, so it can be challenging until you learn how to deal with it and then you have to let the criticisms bounce off of you. that takes a few years. [..] be yourself, or be a character, but do either one exceptionally well.”

Chil is so completely desensitized to the weird shit that comes out of Laius's mouth
The encampment students are basically constantly at food shortages and don't have enough to eat and they're being kicked of their campuses where they literally live... all while being violated by cops and stripped of their educations.
Interesting how he sees the spiritual and physical strength of protestors in the face of this as a threat.
Israel has done what we all predicted and warned about. Simple, pure evil. They pushed Palestinians by carpet bombing everywhere till they all had to go to the least bombed place (No, Rafah was never completely safe. They were bombed there, too, to a horrific degree), and then, after cramming what nears a two million civilians with about 600 thousand children, they are asking them to leave... to where?! Nowhere. They are just saying leave. So then, when they kill them all, they can say 'Oh, we warned them'
It was all predicted, and no one did a thing
Rafah is now the most densely populated place in the world, with a population of about 1.5 million and prehaps more in 64 km2. About 25 miles squere.
25 miles squere
A marathon is 26 miles straight. You can at least run through Rafah in length once and in width twice and pass the 1.5 million Palestinians. That's how crammed it is. With no where to run
