it took the ocean, the greater opponent, to just hold me under and say, it’s really horrible. and sons have been losing their mothers for thousands and thousands of years, and they will continue to, and you’ve just been initiated into that awareness and into that reality. some illusion has been lifted. you’re in a realer version of the world now, and it’s painful. (—andrew garfield)
THIS!!!!!!!!!! most of us feel like we aren't doing enough because we can't physically stop a genocide but speaking helps!! pressuring helps!! boycotting helps and protesting helps!! please don't give up on Palestinians not when the entire world has turned their backs on them
here is how YOU can help Palestine

*lebanese journalist | could not find date of martyrdom
spent the whole day confirming all of these names and looking through multiple resources. the ones with dates are journalists who’s date of martyrdom and/or exact cause of death is stated by sources besides the government media office official list.
When I separated myself from my brother, I left my kindness for bitterness. And my gratitude was traded for ambition.
When I split myself in the womb, my brother inherited my sanity. And I, his sarcasm.
you're laughing. The umbrella academy's final season destroyed every character's personal growth and semi-healed traumas, left huge plot-holes, completely abandoned some of it's most beloved side characters that were crucial in previous seasons and you're laugh-oh. You're crying. My bad. Go ahead. Let it out. Understandable.

PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS 1.07 • "We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of"
To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.
And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.
Saint Porphyrius Church, built in 1150 and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.
It's not an accident.
Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.
Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.
It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.
Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.
But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.
There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.
Traditions they've carried for centuries.
So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.
Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.
I think it applies to mostly East Asians, though, I could be wrong.
In the Philippines, the wife takes the husband's surname, as well as her children. In India, in 'patriarchal tradition' the woman is supposed to take the husband's surname in order to be apart of his family. In (South) Korea, the women does not take their husband's surname, although their children will have it at birth (this may also involve the country Malaysia).
If you're a writer, your own research would be appreciated if you strive for realism and accuracy. :)
Hey, I read somewhere that Asian/ some Asian wives don’t take their husbands name, does anyone know if this is true and can anyone point me in an appropriate naming character resource?
