Hannibal: If I Promised You To Go Vegetarian From Today On, Would You Promise Me In Return Never To Keep

My Linzin song went from "Mr. Loverman" by Ricky Montgomery to "APT" by ROSÉ & Bruno Mars real quick… 😂

Clearly, I’m unstable… but hey, it is my birthday month, so yeah! HAHAHA

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH~

Ranking of Kings punny names

Ok ok last post I’m making about Ranking of Kings.

I know lots of people picked up on Bosse and Hiling, but I just want y’all to know I see almost every single name as a pun:

Bojji. “bocchi” refers to someone who is alone

Kage. Literally means shadow

Bosse. Boss

Hiling. Healing

Daida. “dai” and “da” can both be written with the character for big. Possibly referencing he is son of Bosse, or the wishes for him to be king.

Miranjo. “Mira no jo”. Woman of the mirror

Bebin. “Hebi” means snake. And “He” with a tenten reads “Be”

Apeas. “Su-pi-a” (spear) backwards

Dorshe. “Shi-ru-do” (shield) backwards

Desuha & Despa. “Desu” is death. That’s all I got. “Ha” with a maru reads “Pa” so their names do look visually similar.

Ouken. “Ou” is king. “Ken” is sword.

Hokuro. Literally mole, like the one on his face.

Domas. Ok this one I was genuinely stumped but I’ve read someone interpreted it as “dumbass” and I love that.

Idk some of these might be a stretch? But I love overthinking pun names.

okay that's so f deep

posting on twitter and getting no likes feels like saying something, everyone in the room turning and looking, then turning back around and ignoring you. posting on tumblr and getting no notes feels like having a conversation with yourself in the mirror in a room full of people who are also having conversations with themselves in the mirror.

Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?

This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:

BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/

Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/

Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel

Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one

You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them

Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture

If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already

Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything

Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything

See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.

Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare

KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.

Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.

Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.

If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.
