From Palestine in Pictures : A Byzantine-era mosaic floor that was uncovered recently by a farmer in Bureij, central Gaza Strip, is seen on 18 September. The farmer said he stumbled on it while planting an olive tree last spring and quietly excavated it over several months with his son. Experts say the discovery of the mosaic is one of Gaza’s greatest archaeological treasures, which are threatened by a lack of resources and the constant threat of Israeli violence.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. I’ve got a few posts from my side blog I’ll be reblogging here tonight, but tomorrow I probably won’t talk to much about it. It pains my heart.
The effects of this overthrow and later annexation have stained my home with blood. They’ve stained my own life.
I cannot afford live on my own sacred land. My people cannot afford to live on their own scared land. And the worst part?
Hawaii was overthrown to keep sugar tax low.
My people die for sugar.
My people, my ‘ohana, we suffer and die because Americans were so greedy for sugar. And in the end? Taxes went up anyway. Sugar got more expensive.
It pains me in ways I cannot even express.
Please reblog posts relating to Hawai’i, please keep Hawai’i and my people in your thoughts. Please support us and please listen.
I don’t want to write emails, I want to gather a long skirt in my hands and stand with my feet in the river.
