Hey there comrades, I'm so tired of trying to find toothpaste that seemingly doesn't exist. It really doesn't feel like I'm asking all that much. All I want is:

1. Vegan
2. Contains fluoride (is toothpaste, in other words)
3. Not "whitening" (abrasive)

I don't care what flavor, how much it costs, what other horrific cancer-causing compounds it might contain. I literally just want vegan toothpaste that doesn't contain hydrated silica or other abrasives and isn't pretend-toothpaste. Why is that so hard?

I just got an email from Hirbawi which reads as follows:

Dear [Name]
We are delighted to announce that all pre-orders prior to the 16th October will now be shipped, and those who ordered will be emailed today with their tracking details.
It was an adventure to say the least.
After many pickups and dropoffs, our drivers were eventually able to pass through the valleys around Hebron by using dirt roads.
Despite being blocked at four different Israeli checkpoints, we kept trying, and eventually succeeded in passing through the fifth checkpoint.

With another section down below:

Next Shipment? We are now working on getting our next shipment across the West Bank border and past the Israeli blockade.
The factory is working flat out to resupply Black & White Kufiyas as these have been the most popular choice for wearing in support and solidarity for Palestine.
We are forever grateful that so many of you were willing to pre-order a Hirbawi Kufiya, despite the uncertainty due to the ongoing blockade.

In other words: They're making it work somehow. Get yourself a fancy handmade scarf for way cheaper than you'd expect, and directly support Palestinians.

If you're a white devil like me and concerned about the optics of wearing traditional middle-eastern clothing, maybe take a look at this article for the opinion of the Palestinians in question themselves. In short: It's a good opportunity to start conversations about Palestine and normalize visible support for their struggle. Go nuts.

Any of the ones that don't say preorder are available for the next shipment they can get out there.

I was pretty excited to see where that comm went and learn some stuff about cultures and philosophies I'm not familiar with. Just curious about two things I guess: Why was it created in the first place, and what changed to cause it to be deleted?

Might be an oddly specific post, but I've seen this recommended, and I'm just not sure I understand how it would be used effectively. Surely an air/water kineticist should be acting as a ranged spellcaster most of the time, in other words, not being within 10 feet of an enemy and especially not of multiple enemies. Furthermore, this impulse doesn't discriminate, so even if you were within 10 feet of all your enemies, you'd probably be within 10 feet of your allies too, subjecting them to a bunch of slippery bullshit as well.

Am I missing something about what makes this useful / not a detriment?
