Trapped in Oklahoma

alyibnawi:

دعما لإخوتنا ورفاقنا في سجون الكيان الصهيوني، دعما لصمودهم الاسطوري من أجل كرامتنا، لنقم بتغيير صورتنا الشخصية على الفيسبوك الى أن ينتصر الإضراب.

اللون البني هو لون الملابس التي يفرضها الكيان الصهيوني على أسرانا البواسل، الشعار الموجود على يمين صدر الاسير يعني “شاباص” و هو اختصار لـ “مصلحة السجون الإسرائيلية”

In support of our brothers, sisters and comrades in the Israeli prisons, moreover in support of their legendary hunger strike for our dignity, let’s change our profile pictures on Facebook.

Brown is the color of clothing enforced by the Israeli prison service on the Palestinian prisoners. The logo on the right means “Shabas” and it is an abbreviation for the Israeli Prison Service.

Lawwwwlzzz. Suddenly I live next to the ocean? Oklahoma doesn’t have a coastline but it does have more shoreline than any other state! Thank you, man-made lakes.

Things I did today:

-I drew a map of the United States from memory. Like… 5 states are missing… And Oklahoma ended up with a coastline… But it’s better than I thought it would be? You can’t fully appreciate it in this crappy cell phone photo. But this is why I trace maps, usually.

-I went rock climbing! It was pretty cray. I can’t even

-Now I’m reading a book set in the Midwest and I keep thinking it’s set in like the same time period as The Grapes of Wrath but it’s not, it’s supposed to be fairly modern, so I just get super confused.

-I feel like the dress I wore today was really short but whenever I wore it in Italy it honestly wasn’t a problem and I felt fine. America and it’s different standards for attiring one’s self… These conflicts come up so often. And then in the car to rock climbing, Cecilia and Denise forcefully trying to teach me 90s music and trying to get me to shout out random portions of the choruses I did not know…
