Man I feel like a lot of leftist activists would do a lot better to just use common fucking language to talk about things rather than dense academic shit that's only understandable to people with PhDs and people who spend 95% of their waking life on Leftist Twitter lmao
Like, you're talking with other academics? Great, use academic language. You're a social media account trying to interact with the general public? Don't say "decarcerate", say "find alternatives to imprisonment". Don't say "collective liberation", say "freedom for all". By GOD don't say "bodymind autonomy", say "the ability to have control over our own minds and bodies".
Yes it takes a little more effort to explain shit in common language but I promise you people will stop looking at you like you have two heads and dismissing everything you say as Woke Bullshit if you like, actually get on their level, goddamn it. Not everyone has the privilege to have a graduate-school level understanding of this type of language or spend so much time reading leftist theory that they can perfectly understand this stuff.
#being a public health student has made me even more passionate about this too#like. You want to make a change? You have to make sure the general public UNDERSTANDS WTF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FIRST#Like for example I think Project LETS is a great concept and is doing great stuff#But my god their public outreach needs some MAJOR work#By using this type of language you are isolating the type of ppl who can benefit from your services to 'college educated Twitter leftists'#Social justice is a MAJOR INTEREST OF MINE and even I struggle with making sense of some of the shit y'all say!!#Like I have to translate it in my head to normal speak#And like. These types of spaces constantly talk about accessibility for disabled people? Bullshit man#What about those with intellectual disabilities or cognitive impairments who struggle with this shit?#What about people who are just learning English? What about people who work full time and don't have the time to learn this terminology?#Goddamn#It's all performative!!!!

ngl im kind of panicking rn my throat is sore and dying and i have three choir events this week which includes around one hour of singing straight PLUS my choir director randomly slammed upon me that i am soloing All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey tomorrow, which is an INCREDIBLY vocally challenging song, like, she fucking BELTS, and her fucking VOCAL RUNS. so anyways it’s gonna be a hell of a week on my voice wish me luck
#our biggest show of the year is tomorrow— singing and dancing for around 2 hours total (+ mariahgate)#and since it’s SHOW CHOIR we’re dancing and i am. NOT READY. we only learned one of the group numbers ON SATURDAY#and it is NOWHERE NEAR READY for public consumption. we have our biggest show of the year tomorrow night. we are performing the exact same#show on thursday at our sister school. I am fucked#and then my friend wants me to carol downtown on wednesday…. hhhhhh#like. I love it i love show choir i love singing and dancing it’s my favorite thing ever#Im just so vocally tired and i had the flu last week and im still not fully recovered from that i only really got my voice back today#and it’s already kind of disappearing#fuck. FUCK!!!!#vent. kinda#toby speaks

I can imagine the LOV trying to figure out what else Onigiri is opinionated about. Textures… colours… tv-shows.
Then they try out rock music, and suddenly they have a cat head banging hard enough he is practically vibrating as hard as a car engine.
Lol, that would be funny!
#tanco speaks#ask#asks#i headcanon dabi as the kind of guy who sits in silence eerily and isnt a big music fan because when was he listening to that?#my man was not rocking out in Endeavor's house or in a coma#and he damn sure didn't have a phone or other listening device while he was penniless and living on the street for years#at best he maybe saw like some bands performing at like public festivals and idk about you but where i live#that's mostly like cover bands country folk and pop but nothing hardcore just at public free festivals

i know I've said it before but I'll say it again. i want to study jared padalecki like a specimen. he's fascinating. why is he Like That.
#yk if i met him just as a guy in the world id not give a shit#each thing he is and does makes a kind of sense if you consider it separately from the fact that hes a public figure doing these things#publicly. i have no doubt other celebrities get up to weirder things often but they dont do it PUBLICLY.#they dont ADVERTISE IT#they dont TALK ABOUT IT MULTIPLE TIMES AT PANELS WHERE THEY DO OTHER STRANGE PUBLIC THINGS#like i have Theories. hypothesis. thats why i want to study him.#not even dissecting the. strange physiognomy.#a parasocial relationship thats not positive or negative but a third far stranger and unpleasant thing: mad scientist#i want to perform unethical experimentations on him. not in a sexy way in a malpractice way.#this is a truth i need to speak. sorry you all must hear it.#im gonna stop now#jared padalecki#spn#raspberry rambles

im not gonna link it cause im not interested in getting into shit tonight but i really hate that post thats like “as a jew i dont think jesus was divine or the messiah or anything but i think he was still a cool guy” bc i dont. i think he sucked actually
#sasha speaks#and its not just me being bitter about modern day religious xtianity & cultural xtianity pervasiveness either#dude was first of all not unique; there were a lot of messianic offshoots of judaism around the first century#(cause one of the key features of the moshiach is liberating the jewish nation from foreign powers ie rome)#(which. yknow. jesus didnt do)#but also a lot of the shit people point out that jesus supposedly did as being Good and Sticking It To The Man. kinda sucked for us actually#no the money traders in the temple courtyard were not corrupt they were performing a necessary public service in a central location.#yeah the teachings about being kind to your fellow man and the immorality of obscene wealth i vibe with but like#jesus and his cult were hellenized jews in a cultural context where hellenization (as opposed to non-assimilated judaism)#was a big and uncertain divide at the time#and jesus' cult going so far out of its way to not only accept but embrace hellenization and assimilation for the sake of proselytizing#and growth#directly and actively goes out of its way to divorce itself from the rest of judaism; declare the rest of judaism to be bad/wrong;#and eventually seek to 'replace' it in some way#(maybe other hellenized judaic cults could have survived if the jewish revolts hadnt failed in the first century and the romans hadnt#effectively forced us into diaspora 2 electric boogaloo but speculation doesnt change the fact that non-hellenized judais#m is what survived to the present day as judaism)#also talking about jesus by applying modern sociopolitical labels is just dumb.#the concepts of 'people or color vs white' or 'socialist' or 'anti-capitalist' or whatever. none of those existed in the first century#and it's disingenuous to sincerely call jesus an ancap person of color icon or whatever.#anti imperialist (anti roman empire anyway) was certainly an existing political position back then#but lets stop pretending jesus and his cult were anti rome. they were hellenized. they were hellenizers.#they actively changed their religious and cultural practices to embrace hellenic culture and make itself more attractive to hellenic culture#if jesus and his cult were really anti roman imperialism then maybe jews wouldnt STILL be harassed for being 'gd killers' today#but we are. so. guess they weren't lol#anyway. jesus sucks. hate that guy

I’m a bit late to speak on this but you know, publicly and loudly calling out someone who has a major role in your career and money-making takes guts no matter how nasty and harmful they are. Rina Sawayama has always bravely stood against people and groups who hurt and disrespected her and her identity, and her dedicating STFU to Matty Healy in her performance proved this once again. That man and all the Swifties who defend him thinking they’re defending Taylor will all go to hell. Absolutely nobody has the right to speak on Rina’s personal experiences, emotions or how she should behave in this situation.
#Mimi.txt#I could not give two shits if Rina’s situation is incomparable to Taylor’s or whatever because this isn’t even remotely about the latter#obvi that fandom is offended bc any implication of that would make their fave look like a performative hypocrite (which…)#The 1975 and Matty were the main push for the founding of Dirty Hit and Matty has a say in many things in the label#and I could not care less if she’s an ‘opportunist’ lol God forbid a WOC gets publicity for speaking against a problematic public figure#and most importantly free Rina from the clutches of that wrinkly douchebag and his ex girlfriend’s diehard fans

I haven’t been on stage in SO long I feel like I’m going nuts hahahah, I think that’s why I’m so keen to take up some form of rp or dnd just to scratch that itch
#you don’t understand I’ve been performing#in various ways#since I was like#four years old#I feel so comfortable and free on stage#with the whole adrenaline rush that goes along with it#and ever since covid? like nothing#it’s only now beginning to itch at me though#and I know I’m craving it badly#when I realised I fucking miss. public speaking LMAO#what’s wrong with me FR </3#rain rambles

I was at a Palestinian solidarity gig last night & the one Palestinian artist who was going to perform had COVID so the organisers asked around to see if there were any Palestinians who'd like to say a few words instead.
A local guy who was born & raised in Gaza offered to speak. He started with "I'm an engineer. i'm not a poet or a politician. I don't... do public speaking… I had no idea what to say when I came up here. So i'm just going to tell you about the street I grew up on."
And then he did! He went down the street building by building. He told us about the ice cream shop on the corner, the grocery shop, the charity that supports people with intellectual disabilities. He told us about the people who he knew growing up, the families who still live in the different houses. He told us about the university buildings and about his friends who quit being accountants to start a band together. All on that street.
All of which is gone now, by the way. Bombed to dust.
#Gaza#Palestine#I talked to him a bit afterwards but god what do you say!!#he said he found the gig helpful anyway. Supportive. So that's good.#I'm gonna see if I can find his friends band and share some of their songs#Me Fein

As a loud introvert, I want to meet a quiet extrovert. We would be the most powerful duo ever.
#introvert#extrovert#I feel the energy drain around others but I am very friendly and not shy and love public speaking and performing#I assume my opposite is someone who loves helping people but is quiet and gets confused for being shy#but they like being near others#I get called extroverted sometimes but I’m not#I’m just not SHY

currently Going Thru It with my emetophobia and falling down a seminar rabbit hole. one of them suggests, as Exposure Therapy, making gagging and wretching noises in public bathrooms and like...there are many things id rather do than v**** but i don't think Therapeutic Community Bathroom Theater is one of them. having to explain to a concerned stranger that "no actually i'm fine i'm just doing exposure therapy"...that's literally just a circle of my personal hell
#ipj speaks#like i get for some people its specifically about doing it in public but that is Performance Art#but fr its ruining my life like im legit considering dropping out and finding a remote job#or at the v least changing course AGAIN so that im not stuck in classrooms for the next however long

astarion ancunin hcs {pt. 1}
once he's comfortable with you, he adores non-sexual physical intimacy
playing with his hair will calm him down almost instantly
he's protective and possessive, so he'll keep a hand on you at all times, usually on your back
loves when you initiate any kind of physical contact
always asks to do something before he does, in either a sexual or nonsexual context
he's easily jealous and can sometimes get very possessive; for the first time in 200 years, he has someone who genuinely loves him and he hates the possibility that he might lose you
that possessiveness is obvious when he marks up your neck with bites and hickeys
if he feels like his place in your relationship is threatened in public, he will not hesitate to touch, hold, or kiss you in front of whomever is making a move on you; after some bearing of fangs, whoever it is usually scuttles off very quickly
he definitely feels very undeserving of you and your love and has his days when he's convinced you're going to leave him for someone better when you get the chance, or that he's keeping you from; that insecurity lasts for a very long time
constantly buries his own feelings, so you have to coax them out of him and teach him how to set boundaries and stand up for himself
astarion absolutely LOVES bathing together; he can be very vulnerable with you without sex being expected when you bathe together and it absolutely helps him regain some control and bodily autonomy
he loves gifting you things: jewelry, clothes, weapons, little knickknacks he sees that remind him of you
his elven ears are so sensitive and he absolutely will whine involuntarily when you brush your fingers over them (either on accident while you're touching his curls or on purpose)
speaking of which, astarion loves having his hair played with, it's a huge comfort to him (and another form of physical touch that isn't inherently sexual, so it's one of the ways to ease him back into being intimate and physical)
sexually, he's very switchy; some days he wants to be in control and giving you all the pleasure you deserve, but other days he's more than happy to let you take the lead and love on him
he loves staying up late to have deep talks and watch the sky (sun or moon and stars, it doesn't matter which to him)
cuddle this man. all the time. he's absolutely a cuddle bug. if you don't cuddle him while you go to sleep, he'll be very huffy, and you'll wake up to him curled up around you anyway
he also likes to be the little spoon sometimes, once he's comfortable with you seeing and being wrapped around his back
he will sew everything for you instead of teaching you to do it; he likes being useful in some little way for you (inspired by @aethes-bookshelf's post here because I saw it and went "you are absolutely right")
he commonly speaks to you in Elvish whether you understand it or not; it's absolutely a comfort to him, especially when you start picking up words and understanding some of what he says
contrary to the performances he puts on, astarion is a very gentle lover when he can finally be comfortable and genuine with you. he's quieter, softer, he takes the time to learn you and himself, he lets himself enjoy it; he learns to become a taker, not just a giver
he likes to hold you, however he can, and at the very least always be touching you. an arm around your waist or shoulders, a hand on the small of your back, holding your hand or twining your pinkies together. he can't be touching you, he's standing so close to you that he could be touching you if he moved a centimeter more
he likes to hug you randomly; one of his favorite ways to do it is to come up behind you while you're cooking or talking to someone or looking at yourself in the mirror to get ready so he can surprise you by putting his arms around your waist and resting his head on your shoulder
astarion has a habit of kissing your neck whenever he can, sometimes it's a way to let you know he's hungry, other times when he wants to be intimate, other times just to remind you he loves you
on the same hand, he doesn't always say 'i love you' but instead makes it known through his behavior around you (and the fact that he's constantly looking at you like you are his whole world, because you are)
on the nights when you can't sleep, he reads to you until you drift off because he knows you find his voice soothing
he likes tucking his head into your neck and shoulder when the two of you sleep (which he finds out he actually likes doing every now and then)
the first thing astarion does when he wakes up is pepper you with little kisses on your shoulders, collarbones, cheeks, and forehead
when he's nervous and with people he's okay with knowing that, he'll reach for your hand and touch your fingers to calm down and ground himself. if you wear a ring or multiple rings, he'll play with those
astarion loves it when you call him by a nickname, either a shortened version of his name or a pet name. if he's fed recently and had enough blood, his cheeks will turn this adorable shade of pink when you call him "Star" or "my love" or something similar
how he wakes up from a nightmare changes constantly. the worse the nightmare, the worse his reaction when he wakes up. sometimes it's just a little gasp and his eyes flying open, sometimes it's a yelp and tears, sometimes he's crying before he even wakes up; but every time, his biggest comfort is to cling to you until the panic fades and then curl up in your lap (you've learned to light a candle or summon lights with magic when he wakes up from a nightmare; the shadows make him feel worse)
when you fall asleep outside of bed, he picks you up and carries you to bed and tucks you in—all without waking you
if you are injured at any point and there is no certainty that you'll pull through, he panics. he stays at your side the entire time, even if the smell of your blood is driving him mad, and holds your hand and talks to you, often begging you to wake up, to come back to him, to stay with him; more than once, you've woken up to find him with tears streaked down his face
every time you wake up from an injury and he realizes it, either because he's watching you or because you say hi to get his attention, he smothers you in kisses
once he's no longer starving, he likes to feed from you very slowly, to take his time and enjoy your taste; now that he's promised food, he doesn't feel the need to rush. feeding becomes very sensual, intimate, and personal for the two of you after that
he also loves leaving bites and drinking from you in places the others won't see; it makes him incredibly giddy to know that you let him bite you in places only he will ever see
if he's taller than you, he loves to kiss the crown of your head whenever he can
he will sew up your injuries whenever you need his help with it, even if the sight and smell of your blood makes him salivate
he loves touching your body to see how you react and lets you do the same to learn his own likes and dislikes
matching. outfits. he loves it, loves seeing people realize that you wear the same material and colors and realize what it means. he's very smug when people come to the realization that you're together
he frequently gives you his shirts to sleep in
if you are apart from him for any amount of time, expect to be tackled with a hug the minute you are reunited again
when you have the time, he likes to just lay in bed with you and relax together, half-asleep and cuddling and sometimes mumbling to each other
pt. 2 coming soon
