I'm destroying my old tablets after rummaging through and ripping out old poems and paintings I like but forgot first, was going to post some here but no then was going to post some there but no, they've been posted at a blog you can find here if you look. Below in my earbuds while I wrote the above hexjeff, strongly recommend turning your speakers to eleven
Yinz need to start thinking about what you're willing to sacrifice and how much you're willing to fight the tide of shit coming down the pike
I've been yodeling since the beginning that while the Israelis (and Americans) may not have know the precise date they knew an attack was imminent and welcomed it
"Democrats can't even say the word "ceasefire," they can't forgive your usurious student loans, can't do anything for abyssmal healthcare but funnel more customers to death-dealing private insurers - but they can always, always mint new money for cops and genocides"

The word came into English from the French gaze. According to the French government's online etymological dictionary, the English form of the word is derived from the French, whose ultimate origin word is uncertain, but is often attributed to the Arabic and Persian word qazz ("raw silk"), which itself was obtained from the name of the city of Gaza. The same source says the existence of "an ancient textile industry in Gaza is not assured," and that it is not known how the word entered into widespread use in European languages, with examples of first usages cited being the medieval Latin forms garza in Bologna in 1250 and gazzatum in Budapest in 1279. Gauze was traditionally woven in the Gaza region of the land of Palestine. The English word is said to derive from the place name for Gaza (Arabic: غزة ghazza), a center of weaving in the region. Despite a prohibition on trade with non-Christians from religious authorities in medieval Europe, a fine type of silk known as gazzatum was imported from Gaza as early as the 13th century. Though members of religious orders in Europe were forbidden to wear it, the fabric won a place for itself and emerged into modern life as gauze.
