This Ramadan make sure you’re not breaking your fast with the taste of apartheid. All you need to do is check the label to avoid buying dates from apartheid Israel. This includes dates labelled from Israel, the West Bank and the Jordan Valley or if the country of origin is not shown. Ramadan is a time of reflection and self-improvement. During this month we are more conscious of our actions and how they affect others. Israel is the world’s largest producer of Medjoul dates. Let's be conscious of not buying dates that support Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and apartheid regime. * Major UK supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco, Iceland and Waitrose all sell dates from apartheid Israel as well as local grocery stores * The UK is the second-biggest importer of Israeli dates in Europe 50% of Israeli dates are exported to Europe, where the UK, Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy import huge quantities of the dried fruit. In 2020 the UK imported over 3000 tonnes of dates from Israel, worth roughly 7.5 million pounds. There are two peaks of date consumption in Europe. One is during the month of Ramadan and the other is during New Year’s Eve and Christmas. Boycotting Israeli dates in Ramadan is a concerted community effort that can show we are not powerless. It would be brilliant to see all Israeli dates still left on shelves across the UK and Europe at the end of the blessed month. This would reflect our strength as a community to stand together with a very important message: We will not support the oppression of Palestinians and we will not be complicit in Israeli apartheid. So, this Ramadan #CheckTheLabel and boycott Israeli dates.
With Ramadan approaching, please consider sharing!
If you're in the UK, they also have leaflets available for order on their webpage. These tie into their upcoming campaign #CheckTheLabel, with a national day of action on the 16th of February.
Again, check their webpage for more info.

You suddenly switch bodies with your icon. On a scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the highest value) how well are you coping with that change?
If Time as a personification exists, then time itself, its power, is constantly working like a passive ability inside of the stories, right? so when Time goes into the stories to fuck around, time doesn’t technically stop immediately? right? so then, time keeps on moving, since Time is very much out of practice, never started really on controlling it. But keeps on moving forward, like a waterfall! so then it doesn’t stop unless made to by Time.Â
Times power works in that she,. i’ll just make her take on a feminine form for the sake of convenience., can reverse it, speed it up, and slow it down. She technically has a deal with Space, Mass, and Gravity (the science nerds) where she can use a form of slowing down a persons inertia through space, along with the fact that gravity and mass is being controlled, and mass wouldn’t exactly exist without gravity, I think? so then theres that, which calls into question when that deal got brokered and why. That should be when the big bang happened right? [wow im just starting to realise what a hole ive dug for myself. keep digging i guess]Â
So then thats how the power kind of works as a basis at least. then powers obviously don’t work outside of the stories due to other personifications technically exist outside of time, even though she happened first, outside of chaos, so shes the older sister figure, even though she acts like the youngest and is pretty much treated as such.
Nothing can really exist without a perception of time. You wouldn’t know how long you’ve been alive, nor really know if you’re dead. without a perception of time, everything loses meaning. while yes, everyone lives in the present and that is unchangeable. to completely understand anything about yourself, you have your past, your perception of your self, and what you think of the future. everything is based off a sense of perception. on how you perceive the world. and that leads from a sense of time. a perception of it.
So, when Time goes into the story, time continues ticking and doesn’t stop. Unless I wanna write it in that time skips for a moment, to give the villain a tip off. but that calls into question why the villain would be unaffected by a primordial deity know as Time itself. Probably scrap that. So time continues uninterrupted. pushes the guy out the crows nest. and onto the story.
Now, it probably makes more sense to have some kind of human form that she usually keeps on hand, every personification would then to make more sense for the Death scene, so then she pops out of nowhere in front of the pirate and confuses the hell out of him and, pretty much makes him go splat on the deck. No witnesses ya know? right after that, she discorporate her form and disappears into thin air, nothing but a floating consciousness.Â
The poor little guy was part of the original captains crew, just got the job actually, and had magic sticky feet that made it so it shouldn’t have made it possible for him to fall. he falls right in front of his original captain, almost falling on him. The original captain, protagonist #1, is currently tied to the mast of his own ship after being commandeered by a pirate. That pirate then got the ship commandeered by another pirate, dressed in a blue royal fleet coat, who is our second protagonist. Yada yada yada, banter happens that oh so conveniently tells us that this is the second commandeering. Little mishaps will now happen on the ship due to Time wanting to see what they will do.
Maybe a mishap should be that Time pauses time to find out where she can procure a sea monster to mess with the boat and solidify the protagonists places as protagonists in the story.

Every time I see another ibuprofen post on this site I'm like STOP
STOP
Stop.
Take that after a meal. Take it with a big glass of water. Don't take it on an empty stomach EVER. Don't take it with alcohol. You will destroy your stomach. You will end up with an ulcer. You will vomit blood. I'm not exaggerating.
Yes, you. Yes, it will happen to cute little you. With your cute little bottle of miracles. Ibuprofen really does that to your body.

She/They I'm using this blog to write down my thoughts on what I could write for books, it more so for me to throw ideas into a void and kind of wait for an echo or response. Just really a way for me to see what sticks and have a vault of all of it. (Don't know the artist of the pic;pls tell me if known!)
