as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.

I bet it feels so good to use all the allotted time for an assignment (of whatever kind in life and work and school) to chip away at it in healthy, manageable portions day by day and finish it comfortably and confidently with time to spare

like it sounds like a joke post or a vent post disguised as a joke post, but it's a real thought I'm thinking as someone who's literally not once ever done that. it's not even that every due date I've ever had has been a procrastinated disaster! I've had lots of projects that went fairly smoothly and were done on time without a massive crunch the night before. it's just that there's always been a heavy skew of workload towards the end and I never have started like the same day/week as receiving the assignment. I really just wonder what it feels like LOL

closest I've gotten to achieving this what I can only assume to be a euphoric high is the time a semester-long, massive group project was assigned in tiny chunks every single week that we worked on in lab and turned in at the end of lab. when we finally had the assignment "now put it all together and proofread it and submit your giant huge project document" we were like. THAT'S IT? WE'RE DONE? IT WAS SO EASY?? and that was awesome but it doesn't count because it was Guided By A Professor With Small, Real Due Dates and not self imposed division of the work over time

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist
