see the problem with analyzing Orientalism in music—besides the fact that in 2026 the critique of Orientalism has never been less widely accepted, is in fact widely ridiculed—to the point it’s insane to me people allude to it as a granted fact—or that even in text or visual art where the analysis originated and thrives it has always been highly contactable for a variety of reasons—no the real reason is that if you like look at it in video games, typically the orientalist tracks are the bangers. that’s where people get to go fun with drums and [lutes]. it’s why exotica worked too

What I am about to say is the hardest thing I have ever written. Five days ago, three missiles struck the place where we sheltered. Screams and dust filled everything; I awoke injured in a hospital.

When I regained consciousness, the first thing I did was search for my two children. My heart raced with terror as I called their names, fearing I might never hear their voices answer me again.

Every day, I open my messages hoping to find a sign that someone still cares, and every silence feels heavier than hunger, pain, or fear. The hardest part is watching baby Qais suffer while help feels farther away. Please, don't let silence decide his fate—Donate and save him.

cow tipping is such a top tier common misconception. "yeah there's this fun activity people do sometimes and in order for it to sound possible you need to not have enough experience with cows to have ever seen one sleeping before. but uh yeah I know a guy whose cousin does it." and somehow this became a thing everyone knows about

it's sort of like. imagine if people said "out in the country people break into farms to steal chickens to use them as flashlights. you know, because chickens glow in the dark" and for some reason most people didn't question any aspect of this concept

most underrated item in earthbound tbh it's both a perfect "quirky mother series item" concept and it serves a practical purpose. your inventory space is tiny and we keep throwing items at you but what if (!!) you could sell any item in your inventory at any time without needing to go all the way back to a shop? all you gotta do is dedicate a whole inventory slot to an item that lets you summon an NPC at any time who will show up out of nowhere buy one (1) sellable item from you then leave. 10/10 no notes
