Hello

"The native intellectual, at the beginning of his career, tries to give proof of the fact that he has assimilated the culture of the occupying power... The native intellectual who goes back to his people wears European clothes, and in the way he speaks, in his mannerisms, he shows that he has adopted the very forms of the colonizer. The colonizer is right, he says, the colonizer has conquered and we must take his place. We must prove to him... that we can do as much as he can. The native intellectual, in short, wants to be recognized by the colonizer." — The Wretched of the Earth, Chapter 4: "On National Culture"

Just found out I was thirsty not by receiving a signal from my body about it but by dozing off and dreaming about cold water from different alluring angles. This is great. I think all my wants and needs should be revealed to me this way

i HAVE [remembers that suicide jokes are bad] no choice but to revolutionize the world

i think when u clean your house it should stay clean forever. what do u mean i have to do it again

the thing about phone in bed is that it's so awesome. almost makes you feel like betraying & destroying yourself for nothing isn't all so bad

Why is it easier and more comfortable to sit in a position that actively damages my joints than it is to just sit with okay posture. Why does my body crave its own destruction

one of my favorite hobbies is not being a parent

There's always a moment of intense cultural whiplash whenever I realize I'm talking to someone who thinks "legal" and "illegal" are meaningful categories and ascribes innate goodness to following the law. It's like meeting a space alien.

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

the genocide in Gaza is still ongoing. Israel has directly killed over 900 Palestinan people in Gaza since the ceasefire was declared, and is still only letting 150-200 trucks of aid through per day out of the 550-600 that UNWRA says is necessary to meet their basic needs. in other words, Israel is still killing Palestinians with guns and bombs, and by denying them adequate food, clean water, medicine, and sanitation. at the same time, Israel has only met around 30 percent of its obligations for the first phase of the ceasefire, and is trying to increase the amount of Gaza it securely holds from 60 to 70 percent, while insisting that the resistance disarms before moving onto the next phase of the peace plan. the "ceasefire" is just another phase in the genocide
