a lot of my teachers this year have randomly complimented me on my writing even when the class largely has nothing to do with it and tbh??!??! it's really nice and it makes me want to write more?!?!?!!?!?!
#i thought i was bad at it but i think it's just bc i had to write so many academic essays that i stopped having time for creative writing#but i was shocked today because i had a one-on-one with my painting teacher which was basically my final#it wasn't even a crit just a talk basically about my painting#and i had to submit a write-up in advance about what i learned through the process of that class basically#so anyway when i got to the one-on-one the first thing he did was thank me for the write-up and he was like 'clearly you love writing'#'you're a good writer'#and i was like what!?!?!??!?!?#BECAUSE#im not trying to brag SERIOUSLY but i wrote it really fast and i didn't think it was that crazy#but it meant a lot coming from him because he's probably the most articulate and insightful teacher i've ever had#and also he like has a degree in english LOL#and he said i was a storyteller... so anyway..... i almost cried in the club immediately#well anyway. top ten moments#also my art history professor who i deeply respect wrote a very thoughtful comment on my work today to tell me that she thinks#that i 'have a true talent for written visual analysis' and to 'take her word on it'#BOTH OF THESE MOMENTS?? IN THE SAME DAY?!??!!?!#sorry for 18 paragraphs of bragging but i was truthfully floored#i am always floored when people compliment my writing because lowkey i am hugely insecure about it and feel like i can't articulate shit#like so insecure i cant even write lyrics for songs im like 'i have nothing to write about' man stfu just make shit up its called FICTION#anyway....#top ten days of my life

HELPGAZACHILDREN!!!!!
Med @fairuzfan’s blog got terminated by tumblr which is obviously unjust for all the people who rely on them for resources on Palestine, but it now leaves Hussam’s helpgazachildren donation drive without a point of communication, and has deleted all previous information Med had shared about the drive.
Please remember to keep donating to helpgazachildren as Hussam’s hard work getting resources to families in Gaza should not have to be hindered while Med is working on getting their blog back 🤍🇵🇸

I have a scar on my elbow to this day because when I was 10 my mom took me to our regular library visit and I was so excited to check out another Geronimo Stilton tale that I sprinted to the door and tripped on my own foot and ate shit on the cement, thusly busting open my elbow, but I wanted to see Geronimo so bad that I wouldn’t let my mom take us home so I just sniffled bloodily in the library while I took a painstaking amount of time to pick out my book and my mom had to tell a million concerned bystanders that I was fine and would actually be more upset if we left

when MY PLANNNN changes due to FACTORS OUTSIDE MY CONTROLLLLLLLL im winning the eyeball twitching competition. no contest. the irrational anger with which i responded to the installation coordinators delaying our de-installation start date by two days is actually astounding. beautiful. i just had a three hour phone call with my mom the other day where she told me i was always bad at adapting to change since i was a wee one <3 so true. im sorry im sorry.... im trying to be better at it but quite frankly if u change the date that has been established for almost an entire year suddenly then i might actually kill you no offense. BECOZ I BUILT MY PLAN AROUND IT!!! I BUILT MY PLAN AROUND IT!!!! i shouldnt be this mad. oh my fuckin.... goddd.d... its ok its ok i will cool down. give me 3 hours minimum

Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.

I went four years of college without basically ever calling my mom or dad because I was scared of crying on the phone, but I just called my mom because I was having a level 10 roommate-induced freak out literally pacing around the block outside over and over in a loop, and the phone call ended up being 3 hours long and I DEFINITELY did cry 😎 but at least ummmm I can focus on my homework now. after struggling to do so all day. at 10 pm
