Za'tar (زَعْتَر; also transliterated “za'atar,” “zaatar” and “zatar”) is the name of a family of culinary herbs; it is also the name of a group of spice blends made by mixing these herbs with varying amounts of olive oil, sumac, salt, roasted sesame seeds, and other spices. Palestinian versions of za'tar often include caraway, aniseed, and roasted wheat alongside generous portions of sumac and sesame seeds. The resulting blend is bold, zesty, and aromatic, with a hint of floral sourness from the sumac, and notes of licorice and anise.
Za'tar is considered by Palestinians to have particular national, political, and personal importance, and exists as a symbol of both Israeli oppression and Palestinian home-making and resistance. Its major components, olive oil and wild thyme, are targeted by the settler state in large part due to their importance to ecology, identity, and trade in Palestine—settlers burn and raze Palestinian farmers’ olive trees by the thousands each year. A 1977 Israeli law forbade the harvesting of wild herbs within its claimed borders, with violators of the law risking fines and confiscation, injury, and even death from shootings or land mines; in 2006, za'tar was further restricted, such that even its possession in the West Bank was met with confiscation and fines.
Palestine Action has called for bail fund donations to aid in their storming, occupying, shutting down, and dismantling of factories and offices owned by Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems. Also contact your representatives in the USA, UK, and Canada.

I will be yours forever. you’re not mine anymore. you will always be mine. fuck you. let’s fuck, for old time’s sake. did you steal my cd? no, no. keep it.
Exactly! The problem isn’t the hunters, it’s those darn time travelers! Least they can do is carry stuff and maybe bring us some sweet presents from the future.
When Palestinians advocate for a one-state solution and a right of return, we advocate for a better future for Jews too, a pluralistic state with equal rights for both peoples and other minorities. Instead, it’s spun by Zionists that “from the river to the sea” is a genocidal call to drive Jews out, which is nothing more than mere hysteria that ignores that Palestinians are already being removed from their homelands as we speak, even if it’s in a subtle and slow manner.
so so tired of people acting like it’s taboo/embarrassing/shameful to be attracted to a fat person
i am fat and complete strangers have accused people i’ve dated of being chubby chasers, fat fetishists, or have just generally made rude comments about there being a size difference in the relationship
if you find a fat person attractive you really do not need to preface it with a “hear me out” or “this is so embarrassing, but” in fact. don’t do that with anybody. please do not contribute to this weird attitude surrounding fatness and fat bodies
house of the dragon has caused a lot of characters and events that were conceived as in-universe historical precedent for the characters and events of asoiaf to be discussed, increasingly, entirely divorced from the context of ‘guy i invented to let characters talk about their most essential theme’. anyway rhaenyra aegon and the dance in general as a twisted exaggerated precedent for the stannis renly caining abel
‘a lot of the dance characters feel like evil caricatures’ that’s because they were conceived to let asoiaf characters look at the camera and say ‘wow, institutions are fucked! the cycle, right? look at this long horrible history of monarchy/knighthood/usurpation. i’m entirely different from this guy (except that i’m not)’
