guys i actually beg of you to not let palestine become an unpleasant flashback, a transient tumblr trend, a hasbeen subject that just faded away. as an arab—and specifically iraqi—girl, i know what it feels like to have family displaced all over the world as a result of western imperialism. i know what it feels like to not be able to step foot into your homeland because it’s no longer safe. as an american iraqi, raised in the us and insulated from my roots, it wasn’t until last summer that i was able to visit iraq for the first time, and even then my family was worried for my safety—in my own blood country. although nothing like what palestinians are experiencing right now, it might be the tiniest semblance of what it feels like to watch your country disintegrate in front of you.

and this is a universal arab experience. i volunteer weekly at a refugee center that serves middle eastern refugees, and every day i see the longing in their eyes when they speak of where they hail from. it’s safe to say that we will be getting a wave of palestinian refugees very soon: just another generation of arabs who can’t inhabit their own country.

arab culture is so rich, so profound, so beautiful. i am tired of being told by the world—through literal genocide—that it doesn’t mean anything. please never let this be forgotten. free palestine. free palestine. free palestine.

Viva finding those stupid finger puppets in the golf course's prize display case and wreaking utter havoc on Clay's daily life

I NEED TO KILL MY SELFFFFF i’m fine im fine it is a beautiful day to be alive on this beautiful earth it’s fine I NEED TO KILL MY SELF I NEED TO KILL MY SELF I i’m so fine being alive is so lovely AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

wish i could go missing for a little bit and no one would freak out and then i could come back and they'd be like "did you have fun going missing" and i'd be like "yeah, thanks" and then i could do that every couple of months or so and it wouldn't be a big deal

And keep in mind when we talk about, "the rich," we're not talking about highly-paid WORKERS (we live in a society that recommends over 2.5 million in savings for retirement). We mean people who control the means of production, and who derive their income from OTHER people's labor. John Boyega, for example, is a highly-paid WORKER who gets paid for the work (acting) he does. Elon Musk, on the other hand, is a parasite who relies on others to perform labor, and pays pays them less than the value they produce, so he can pocket the balance. These are not the same thing. (I mean, entirely aside from the difference between millions and billions.)

learning that people want you in their lives is a skill you can develop if it does not come naturally

anyone else feel like theyre on the verge of insanity in an undescribable way

MASSIVE TW FOR SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

SERIOUSLY I JUST NEED TO VENT

TRIGGER WARNING

Anyways its so odd being an adult rn bc I feel obliged to stay alive for all the bad things happening to others, all the good things happening to me, and not to mention all the people I love who without I would have given up a long time ago. But the more selfish part of me wants to give up, because I can only play pretend for so long.

I just... feel so hopeless so much of the time. And I can't tell anyone because I can't afford to be institutionalized again and I can't live with myself knowing the hurt I would cause to my relationships if I attempted and failed. While I would not hold it against anyone, I know I would lose so many people because they just could not handle that fear of losing me again. And thats okay. But I don't want to be here anymore, and every day that goes by I have to fight so FUCKING hard to be here to fight for better. But I don't want better. I want to be dead.

And I don't know how to be better. I dont know how to want to be better either. So much trauma has become a tidal wave and I just can't handle the pain inside me for much longer. I can't make it go away. And the islands of joy I do have can only do so much when I'm already drowning. And I am drowning.

hell fucking world

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

Hi, I’m glad I could reach out to you and hope this reaches you well. You’re a very popular blog on here and trans gender as well.

So you can understand that people want to stop KOSA, which is a bill that will censor much of this website including anything related to transgenderism and hrt. I know that this seems horrible but we need to spread the word so it gets stopped again.

Thanks so much and sorry if i bothered you.

I’m so sorry if this seems long but I really appreciate it and if you could spread the word, since censorship of the internet will affect every single person on it.

thank you so much for gathering all these sources. to anyone who sees this and is able, I urge you to call or email a senator. we don't have a lot of control in the United States, but this is a way we can have some agency against KOSA. I have the link for the Change.org page below

headcanon that percy wakes up every day, just absolutely pissed about one thing in particular

like sometimes, it's entirely valid. he's mad about ocean pollution or something like that, and he spends a day in the long island sound and tries his best to clean it up.

the next day, he's mad that blue raspberries don't exist.

just like the tide, his anger changes, and he spends the entire day bugging the demeter kids to grow blue raspberries.

they go to annabeth to ask her to stop him, and she tries. she tries by dyeing normal raspberries blue, but he takes a look and notices immediately that they're not blue raspberries. somehow, he knows what blue raspberries look like, even though they don't exist.

eventually, he gets the demeter kids to give in, and they manage to plant the first blue raspberries ever. percy is so excited that he begins drawing up plans to mass produce them, but alas, it's getting late, and he's getting tired.

when he wakes up the next morning, he's grumbling about the poaching of whales when he sees the plans on his desk, and he has no idea how they got there. he thinks he's getting pranked, so he throws them in the trash.

when he walks outside and passes by the demeter cabin, however, he notices something strange going on. they're celebrating... surviving his "stupid" demands for the 50th time?

PLEASE SIGN AS MANY PEITIONS AS YOU CAN AGAINST THE KOSA BILL

IT. MUSN'T. PASS

USE THE TAGS. GET THEM TRENDING. SPREAD THESE LINKS AROUND.
