verso books has made books on palestine, mass protests, and student rebellions free to download on their website

i hope that the discussion about student protests does not get reduced to "privileged rich kids faffing around at an ivy league school." setting aside that tenuous claim, over the last week, protests have erupted over the entire country. a few days ago, riot police beat, pepper-sprayed, and arrested NYU faculty shielding students; protests started at the university of southern california when the admin cancelled the valedictorian's speech; encampments appeared at the university of southern carolina, UT dallas, the university of maryland, the university of new mexico, IUPUI, virginia tech, the university of virginia, the university of illinois, the university of north carolina — chapel hill, the university of pittsburgh, uc berkeley, the university of michigan — ann arbor, MIT, emerson, tufts, the university of rochester, rice, swarthmore, the new school, vanderbilt university, with students arrested; students protested or walked out at miami university, northwestern, temple, the 5 claremont colleges: pomona, pitzer, scripps, harvey mudd, and claremont mckenna, stanford, washington university in st louis, students were arrested at ohio state, students were confronted by riot police at cal poly humboldt, after which they occupied campus, students were arrested at the university of minnesota — twin cities, after which faculty walked out; and yes, there are protests at the other ivies, most notably yale, with students facing mass arests after encampments, but there is also an encampment at brown, protests appeared at cornell, princeton faculty issued a statement of solidarity while students are preparing an encampment, and harvard banned the undergraduate palestine solidarity committee. there are thousands of students who are protesting for palestine across the entire country, facing harassment, arrest, and suspension in return

dear skin-pickers, nail-biters, people with dermatillomania/trichotillomania, people with any kind of skin condition or BFRB:

you are not dirty. you are not gross, disgusting, or unclean for it. you are not less worthy of appreciation or affection. you are not less beautiful. you are not weird or disturbing for it. you deserve every bit of love there is to give. i see you, i know you, i understand how hard it is to stop. everybody who has, i'm so proud of you. everybody who can't, i'm on your side, and you will get there someday. every single one of you deserves all the love in the world and i am sending as much of it as i can to you now <3

I will open the fucking TikTok app just to watch this video multiple times

at the end of the day i'll always have the time we went on holiday to a national park and i counted 37 stars which was more than i'd ever seen before that night. it was heartbreakingly beautiful and i had this moment of deep sudden grief for all that's been lost to light pollution

literally fuck everything i'm going to go and read wikipedia articles about the first tikal-calakmul war

vaguely feverish empty of energy and rapidly emptying of blood through the nose with a feeling that something is tremendously wrong with you that everyone will find out if you don't make valedictorian and that's how you know exam season is finally here friends & companions

actually your characters should be pure wish fulfillment and your writing should be entirely self indulgent and it should all be very, incredibly, undeniably horny.

having edgy ocs is soooo embarassing like yeah this is johnny... he.. kills people... yeah with a knife and theres blood and stuff yeah... sorry i know...

what if you lived in a society with strict and sometimes absurd rules regulating what behavior was honorable . and your perfect older brother was so good at it the best at it even but you just didnt get it because the rules dont make sense and theyre stupid and its not fair that he can play the game so well and you cant. and everyone hates you and calls you a piece of shit because you arent good at following the Rules like your brother and his stupid piece of shit boyfriend. and then you find out that the boyfriend is Breaking The Rules really seriously and you tell your brother and hes like shut up about it, just let him break the rules and get away with it. but your younger brother agrees that its fucked up and you should expose him so you do and everyone forever is like youre evil for this and everyone that died as a result is because of you. and you deserved to be killed by this guy for showing that he broke the rules. this happened to my buddy agravaine

holy fucking SHIT

In case the esim process confuses you or you aren't able to buy them yourself for any other reason, crips for esims for Gaza is collecting donations, they've almost met their goal of $150,000 raised. Donating allows them to buy esims in bulk which allows them to obtain more than individuals would be able to. I just donated and it was super easy as you can use paypal.

i am going to reach out and kill the past paper with my own two hands
