We love our Honey Bear so, so much! 🍯 🐻 We adopted her almost 2 years ago from the wonderful . Her shelter name was Blair, which we didn’t feel quite captured her full personality. renamed her Honey which became Honey Blair, which became Honey Bear. She loves treeing squirrels and watching TV and sometimes her black coat turns chocolate brown in the right lighting. She also loves being pushed in shopping carts, shaking hands for treats, and swimming. Thank you Nashville Humane for helping so many pets find homes.

Favorite spots of summer part 2 ☀️

🌿 THE OLIVE TREE has deep historical and cultural roots in Palestine, and its branches have been associated with peace and prosperity for centuries.

Olive trees can handle drought, subzero temperatures, frost, even fire, and is prominently found in Palestinian art and literature as symbols of steadfastness amid a life of displacement. 

🍉Grown from Jenin to Gaza, THE WATERMELON — which matches the colors on the Palestinian flag — has symbolized unity for over half a century.

The history of the watermelon as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity dates back to the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel captured Gaza and the West Bank and banned any displays of the Palestine flag in the occupied territories.

🔑 THE KEY is a widely used symbol of the Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic), as many Palestinians kept the keys to their homes when they were forced into exile in 1948, sure they would return.

Almost 75 years later the key remains a potent symbol and reminder of physical and emotional loss and injustice.
