Displaced children have been forced to seek makeshift shelter in chicken coops after their tents succumbed to flooding. This tragic reality evokes painful echoes of history, reminiscent of the deplorable conditions endured by Jews during the Holocaust, confined to horse stalls and sleeping on wooden shelves never intended for humans.
The phrase “never again” lost its meaning shortly after World War II, as the world witnesses a disturbing repetition of past atrocities. Despite solemn vows, the world’s involvement in supplying arms only exacerbates the suffering of the oppressed. It serves as a stark reminder that complacency and inaction pave the way for history to repeat itself.

saw a teenager in a TikTok comment section asking what it was like “being alt in 2012” and I was like what the hell and I left like 8 comments talking about how it was the same as it always is. You find your niche & friends & carve out a space for yourselves & some people will love what you do & other people will hate it and it is what it is.
but what is super funny is how what is considered alt continuously changes, like what is considered “the karen cut” today—staple of middle aged women—was edgy when I was in high school. A lot of emo and scene kids had asymmetrical stacked bobs.
When I got an undercut, nobody in my town had one. Only me. People reacted like I got a face tattoo and my principle actually tried to figure out whether I could be suspended for it, but there was nothing explicitly against it in the school handbook (and in fact tapers and fades were protected to allow Black students to have certain hairstyles so my haircut ended up being covered by rules fought for by Black parents. Thank you).
So it’s so funny to see elementary schoolers just walking around with half their heads shaved now.
Idk I remember when I was a teenager and adults who were teenagers in the 90s would tell me I didn’t know what “real emo” is and my trends were stupid, I promised myself I would never lose my sense of wonder & whimsy at evolving & emerging subcultures.
And I haven’t. I love seeing what the kids cook up and how the trends I loved at their age are discarded and rediscovered and recycled again and again.
Anyway the kid in the comments said “thank you for educating me about 2012” and I felt like the laziest funniest anthropologist ever but the truth is that historians are always starving for primary sources & it’s funny to think we are all a primary source for a little pocket of time.
People today are deeply obsessed with the 2000s emo scene, mosh “culture,” etc. etc. & I just think of it as the life I lived so it’s cute to think I have important insight on something that simply happened while I was there.
And y’all do too. I like humanity idk.

When you’ve been cooking for long enough, you stop making recipes and start making “shit in a skillet” and “whatever soup”

do you call it 'soulmate' or 'I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.'

apparently people are now purchasing thick water to make slimes with because of a trend on tiktok
thick water is for disabled people who can’t swallow properly. stores usually have extremely limited supplies of it.
please don’t buy thick water for fun or to make slime with. it’s literally the only way some disabled people can drink anything. It’s not a fucking toy
