living is not breathing but doing

a weird thing is that we got waves of people going "who cares if its cringe or youre annoying! have fun!" but no one really learned how to accept the fact that some people will find you annoying or think your art or your work or posts or anyrhing sucks and thats ok. rather it just became a weird "if people think youre annoying theyre just morally bad. let people enjoy things!". like no i think this yes man only biome sucks and people are allowed to not like artstyles and shows and media and other things

if youre an artist, a creator, or just someone whos involved in hobbies: learning that no matter what you do, some people will find you annoying is extremely important for your mental health, just as learning that not liking things is normal and youre allowed to do it

The situation of the Congo Genocide is complicated because we are all implicated in it. We can’t ascribe it to a foreign policy state interest as we can regarding Palestine. It is something we, as consumers, all have a hand in and given the ubiquity of the resources involved, a lot of us are caught off of guard by this premonition of the type of wars to come. This is that nasty intersection of neo-colonialism and hyper capitalism that pits the Global South against the Global North. It’s a war of sustaining a way of life means imposing slavery and genocide on others. This is an instance of global capitalism and hyper consumption as a lifestyle and convenience is being pitted against the humanity of those we deem expendable.

Btw Israel let Palestinians celebrate not one (1) holiday in peace. They didn’t grant Christian Palestinians access to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, they actively attacked families who were already starving at Iftar during Ramadan, and now there are several reports of families being killed on Eid al-Fitr—a sacred multi-day holiday practiced by lots of Arabs. It breaks my heart imagining the Palestinian families in Gaza right now, most of whom are spending Eid mourning loved ones who were taken by Israeli strikes. Most of us will never understand the sheer magnitude of that pain.

I’m being completely serious when I say I can’t think of anything more dehumanizing than deliberately terrorizing Palestinians on their sacred holidays. It’s saying their culture is not worthy of being practiced with safety and security, it’s saying that they as human beings are not deserving of the luxury of culture and safety, it’s saying that they can do this over and over and get away with it because Arabs are invalids to the average person not directly affected by this. It should make you incredibly angry that every holiday so far has been grounds for a heightened volume of war crimes from Israel. It’s making me incredibly angry just typing this. Palestinians deserve better.

one of the funniest things about becoming an adult is realizing that adults were not being fun-killers when they looked at your favorite snack and went "eugh, too much sugar for me." Your body genuinely just stops being able to process sugary shit as well and it starts tasting super gross and making you feel like you have to puke after a couple of bites. it does kind of suck but the tradeoff is you get more sensitive to complex tastes so all the fancy desserts that never really made any sense to you suddenly start becoming really appealing.

has anyone redrawn the touden siblings as those two ppl in that car w the huuuuuuuuuggge gigantic titty knockers.

it's kinda weird how like jontron was suddenly like "i'm really racist. rich black people commit more crime than poor white people! have i mentioned the great replacement theory?" and lost like a million subscribers or whatever. and then suddenly now he's still making videos and still has a lot of subs and whenever you bring it up someone just says "oh so you're mad that he had an opinion" well i mean yeah i think he should've been killed and died and rotted and died for that one

I have. Mixed feelings because like, dismissing the rok feminist movement because it has been coopted by radfems is like dismissing the american feminist movement because it's been coopted by radfems. Unless 4b was designed and created as a terf/radfem movement ...? Am I being crazy? Someone let me know if I'm being crazy?

This Isn't Me Saying the Movement Isn't Transmisogynistic; It's Me Wondering if It's Inherently So

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

Biden did not call for a permanent ceasefire. He called for Israel to “put more effort into protecting civilians and aid workers.” He did not give any specific steps as to how, nor did he specify what the repercussions would be if Israel failed to meet those standards. We have been here before.

Btw we probably also shouldn’t be ecstatic about any resolutions until we see them in action. If you forgot about the ICJ’s resolution for Israel to pass aid, it’s because they didn’t follow it altogether. Please don’t fall for lip service—and don’t let it be a reason to take heat off a genocidal entity. The US signed off billions in weapons to Israel like not a month ago. All of this means nothing. These updates are all strategically planned to make you feel like something’s really happening, when nothing actually is. It’s all smoke and mirrors. And Israel is still avoiding taking any accountability for the genocide it has been enacting.
