while not an actual action item for the general strike, you could also find some Palestinian recipes to cook. Part of the attempted erasure of Palestinian identity has been Israeli appropriation of recipes/foods. (And some pan-Arab foods too)

I would love to hear ur wilbur niki thoughts if ur willing to share
ok i got like 4 asks instantly so i may as well. this is rambly and sooo poorly worded but i dont have time to be flowery lmfao. here goes.
c!niki is allowed to be angry. she’s allowed to be pissed. But uh. c!wilbur does not deserve to be ruthlessly berated and accused of manipulation when the real issue that nobody seems to acknowledge anymore is that she wanted his attention. and I think that’s what makes her and c!jack so tragically drawn to each other as well, feelings of abandonment and betrayal and whatnot.
niki's anger is misplaced but not unwarranted. she feels the need to direct all that malice she's been stewing in since Manberg towards him, and almost exclusively when he was dead. but I think her anger is once again not rly about how he "manipulated"(he did not. manipulate her in any form but ok) and hurt people she cared about. its much simpler and than that.
niki is mad because, like c!tommy, she still loves wilbur. and she hates that he is still so present in her mind, in her decisions, even the decision to join the syndicate. she just hates it.
I think the best direction for the confrontation to go is for her to START screaming at him, START throwing cold accusations and bitter insults at him, until she realizes she's just as bad as him. and i don't mean "bad" as in their shared capacity for violence, or their affinity to isolate themselves away from a lot of people they once considered friends. it's the simple fact that they are both damaged. and they both used this as the cowardly excuse to hurt others. and that is not wilburs fault. niki HAS to realize that.
this is why i like the idea of niki and tommys characters talking as well. they were arguably the most shaken by wilburs death. however, tommy, albeit in a weird spot with cwilbur right now, has seen this shared damage already. he knows wilbur doesn't hold true evil, just like niki, no matter what she might think or how much she plots with jack or who's cape she hides behind like a moral shield. "it's not about chances, it's about not giving up on the people you care about," right?
it goes like this. c!niki and c!wilbur both wanted to die. they both thought it was "never meant to be". but here they are. being. and what is more unifying than that shared contradiction. that despite it all, you are still here together. shouldn't that mean something to them? i dont know. but it does to me.
