I am the tiniest puff pastry in the bakery of life.

OH MY GOD… tonight I thought my baby Qais had died after his body suddenly stopped moving in my arms, and I screamed his name while begging him to open his eyes again.

The doctor told us that because of severe bleeding and malnutrition, Qais fell into a complete coma, and his tiny body may not survive much longer without urgent treatment, blood units, and proper nutrition that I cannot afford alone.

I beg you as a devastated mother in Gaza watching her child disappear between life and death. Please, don’t leave my baby Qais alone in this nightmare—donate now and help me save his life before it is too late.

Donations have completely stopped, and today the hospital administration warned they may expel us because I cannot afford my baby Qais’s treatment anymore. Please, I beg you through my tears, donate now before my child is abandoned without care.

all cops are bastards because all cops are just doing their jobs

He uh, skipped awful quickly to “stealing gold fillings” didn’t he?

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

Promethean task: opposite of a Cassandraean task. You have the right information, and SOMEONE has to share it. But it's all in the delivery and if you're the person to identify the problem you WILL be hated forever.

Oedipal Task: (1) Attempting to avoid an unspeakably awful outcome and in doing so creating the circumstances that will bring it about. (2) Trying to solve an problem and discovering that you are in fact the problem you are trying to solve.

Odyssean task: you’ll complete it but it’ll take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini-adventures

Ah feel 'sif an Odyssian task is basically a poor sod mid ADHD

A Pandorean task - just the act of starting it unleashes all manner of disasters.

a book should be $5 a little drink should be $2 and museum access should be free and all hours

a truly disturbing idea

There's a somewhat-unstated division in social progressive circles that goes "being socially inept for autism reasons is fine, but being socially inept for regular reasons is bad and mockable." And then in practice everyone assumes it's for regular reasons when it comes up

Gods help you is you have a personality or schizospec disorders. You’re no longer “quirky” socially inept you’re a child up until they want to persecute you

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.

I am burning the candle at ends I didn't previously know existed.

This shit's like a hydra, every time I burn an end, two more grow.

This candle has become some indescribable horror, a visage so far beyond comprehension that I am frothing at the mouth whenever I dare utter its description. A vile conscience that has awoken to discover an insect dares to contain it via metaphor into a constraint it does not desire and it has begun to *thrash*

What the fuck have you people done to my candelabra?

I mean, if you just keep going it will eventually be a sphere and it's fine.

Is that where stars come from?

I don't know, but it sounds like a great opportunity for me to definitely learn the wrong lesson here!

Even in a post-capitalist, post-consumerist world, you still need to produce goods, as a result of this, you need factories because it is more effective to have a few people making a lot of clothes in a factory than every woman being forced to sit down and spin wool all day.

The issue with factories is poor wages, unsafe working conditions and environmental impact, all of which can be fixed through things like regulatory bodies and unions, the issue is not the fact that goods are no longer all made at home

this is why it's so frustrating to see people pitch "make your own x at home!" as a response to poor working conditions in a factory. eliminating one person from the customer base does not fix the problem. "but if everyone would just-" they won't though, nor should they have to,

i think more final girls should be forty and kind of weird and off-putting

real talk tho ive seen ppl talk abt how long hair on men isn't intrinsically feminine & assuming so is racist can we get the same convo going for Black women w short hair can we start talking abt how short hair isn't intrinsically masculine or is that a step too far

bus is my friend. shes no train but shes trying her hardest in a world that hates her
