actually speechless watching the way eu leaders are carrying on about supporting israel completely off their own bat
#like declaring the eu will cease all aid and VISITING AND SHAKING HANDS WITH ISRAELS PRESIDENT#to make those king of pronouncements they need the consensus of the member states they haven’t even met to discuss it yet#like when LEO VARADKAR is one of the only european leaders speaking publicly about this you know it’s bad#support for palestine is fairly normal in ireland across the board so i think i was naive in assuming that leftish people would at least be#sane about this#sorry i don’t even want to post bc i hate making things about me but like i feel like i’m going insane#thankfully the aid thing didn’t happen bc it was literally just some guy pronouncing it on twitter but like the fact he thought he could#get away with it

Thinking about the time i commissioned an artist i rly liked for something and the result was kind of really catastrophic just from the preview image in the email so i just. never opened the actual image
#i dont even know where it is#honestly ive had such bad luck commissioning art of adri that ive completely given up its like an anomaly#thunderclap#fan art my lovely followers and friends have done for me for free: literally the most swagful things ive ever seen#actual for real honest to god art i have paid real money for: worlds most inconceivably off model take#the only exception to this is when ive commissioned my friends themselves#i know this is a mean spirited post usually i dont mind like creative liberty I usually say yeah feel free to interpret my characters freel#but like. sometimes its not remotely the same character#thinking still about the uh. the art i got from [popupar twitter artist] in exchange for one of my adopts instead of them paying money#and they like. did it so off model they just made a whole new guy. the art? yeah it slaps obviously. but thats not my oc 😭#congratulations thats the worst anyones ever done it!!#this is something i personally try not to do when i do commissions too unless very explicitely stated. 'do your own take'#and also i make sure that the sketch is on-model and the client is happy etc etc#i dont know what it is about some artists where they just go ouuhhh what if i . redesigned ur oc for u. HUH#anyway thats all i gottta say this is a weird post but i think about it a lot#before you ask no im not gonna name names. this is my own personal beef

i'm so sick of my fellow iranians being cringe as fuck on social media and simping for the state of israel out of some insane the enemy of my enemy is my friend mentality like i know this is crazy but you can hate the iranian government without deciding to go full monarchist and act like israelis are liberators of literally anything or anyone
like i'm sorry if the best you can envision for iran is trading one authoritarian for the son of the previous authoritarian (who was literally overthrown bc he was an authoritarian puppet of the united states) solely bc of his name then you hate the iranian people more than i can image
#like why are they somehow hitting the same level of insane cringe as indian nationalists#also stop parroting these dumbass slogans that don't make any sense like iran isnt islamic republic like ok what does that even mean#it makes as much sense as hamas is isis#yall are just saying words that you think sound catchy but are ultimately meaningless#like yeah iran hasnt been an islamic republic for most of its existence#it currently is#that has clearly not worked out and it can and should change but like that's literally factually what it is rn#and it's dumb as shit to act like there ARENT people that do support it#you are never going to gain ground if you accuse literally everyone of being a paid state actor who disagrees with you#or if you see the world in so black and white that you think bc the iranian government is bad israel's government is good#or act like the actual revolution in 1979 WASNT born out of legit grievances#like obviously that went incredibly sideways but like#what is with this insane whitewashing of the shah all of you are so embarassing#sorry i cant rant on twitter bc of the Job so i gotta do it here i am so fucking tireddddddd#i wish the most outspoken public facing iranians weren't all wealthy as fuck monarchists playing activists#while sitting in beverly hills mansions contemplating their next nose jobs and doing absolutely nothing of use like wow you are so brave#it's the same energy as those rich cubans who moved to miami after castro took over#you can argue that the motive for the iranian regime's defiance of israel is not ultimately out of any desire to help palestinians#and frankly i would agree with you#but like in this specific instance i don't actually think their motive matters if it is materially helping palestinians#will it? that remains to be seen#and acknowledging that it could does not suddenly mean you support the regime all of you are so braindead i am tiiiiiired

sometimes me and my friend that also got badly fucked over by my ex will recall crazy shit that my ex did just to like, cope with humor about how absolutely unhinged they were/prob still are and how much mental strain it all was BUT OH MY GOD after our talk last week, I remembered how another glaring red flag should have been how ace/arophobic my ex was??? literally would rant and vent to me about how they don't belong in the queer community cause they don't face the same kind of oppression as "actually lgbt" people or whatever and like, whether the struggles they face are different or not, that's not a valid reason for them to be excluded? And you wouldn't be able to understand their struggles unless you experienced them urself anyway?
I still feel kinda gross for going along with them when they would say shit like this, but as I've said before, disagreeing with them was always too risky for my own well-being.
ANYWAY I KNOW I'M ACE NOW so thanks for helping me figure that out at least lmaooo
#SORRY I KINDA JUST SHOW UP HERE TO VENT#it feels more “screaming into the void” here than on twitter which i like#also looking for a new therapist since i moved out of state recently so this is kinda how i'm getting feelings out till therapy starts loll#i think some followers know who my ex is so like don't name names ofc i am just venting#vent#i don't feel too bad talking shit tho cause they would literally say awful things about me on their blog#WHILE we were dating#to get sympathy from their followers :p

#dude do you have any idea how fucking awful it feels to go on a social media site and have your favourite character just be constantly#shit on? like I’ve gotten attached in an autistic way to this fucker and now it’s legitimately made my mental health for the past few days#TANK. I used to go on twitter and see people be normal instead of being bombarded with hatred from every angle#and not to get me started on the fact that bad refuses to fucking say anything#like okay man! just let the hatred fester and let people who actually liked you turn on you because you made a stupid ass decision#it’s literally just a hostile fucking environment on one end and the other is in radio silence#im still so attached and I fucking hate it#I hate the motherfuckers on twitter and I hate bad being so goddamn silent#I hate the people defending him in places where he’s wrong and I hate the people who take every chance to twist his words#I love my mutuals who are sensible people#but I cannot fucking stand everything else#and sorry for being so upset when im shamed out of a special interest and what used to be a safe place for me#you motherfuckers have EVERYTHING. you have the numbers. the popular ships. you have people who will defend you#literally cannot have shit in this place#our fav is treated like shit and yours is praised to the high heavens#in and out of game he’s constantly fucking disrespected#can you even imagine how that feels to someone who gets so attached to a character and his dynamic that it influences their mental state#or is it just easier to play the Saint who is never wrong and will never be#I fucking hate what bad did and I’m disgusted that he’s still friends with that fucker#and I am still attached to his character and story#the shame is legitimately overwhelming#fuck it all. really and truly#and most of all fuck qsmptwt I cannot stand you motherfuckers#my mutuals and oomfs are obviously exempt from previous statement

I hate that my former friend ( who I cut ties with for incredibly rational reasons) is spending so much effort complaining about me online that I no longer find Twitter useable
#she’s like angry I convinced her to read Saezuru because it’s triggering#except I actively discouraged her from reading#she talks about me like I’m an unfeeling mega bitch robot#I’m just fundamentally not that expressive like it is literally just how I am as a person#like she can’t accept any symptom of neurodivergence from other people#and she think I’m an irrational bitch for no longer wanting to be friends with her#when she threatened to sexually assault me#like I really don’t give any resemblance of a shit how bad her mental state at the time was#there are lines you don’t cross#so I just can’t let myself have Twitter because it’s too distressing

you know what's so funny. i used to write exclusively fluffy ship stuff. like cutesy first date shit. mind you this was in middle school (you can dig around in the DGR tags i orphaned it all but if you stumble across something and think i wrote it you can ask. i won't lie i promie) so it's not terribly good. but thinking about telling that kid Yeah you write body horror now. yeah there's significantly less cute shit now. is so funny
#in the nicest way possible i was horribly twitter brained 'if you have X in media it must mean you condone it!!' at this point#i would've adamantly denied it but if something wasn't like. literally stated in a text as Bad i would've called it problematic#i was in middle school yknow? kids shouldn't be exposed to most of fandom discourse#not in a like 'kids don't understand racism' way in a ' a kid does not have the nuance of knowing even if something isn't explicitly labeled#bad you can look at how the text handles it/has others react to it' to understand the messages behind it#sage talks

My favourite things about the whole OceanGate disaster, in no particular order
That the vessel was originally named Cyclops II but the CEO renamed it to Titan, so it’s even BETTER than the Titanic
He also called it indestructible
The guy piloting the vessel is an ex-naval captain who has been on several titanic manned trips. But the guy is 77 rn
The billionaire from Pakistan is apparently friends with King Charles. You’d think for someone who’s besties with a guy whose job was literally being born, he’d care more about protecting his bloodline. Instead, he brought his 19 year old with him
Meanwhile, the stepson of one of the other billionaires (I think the British one named Hamish) went to a Blink 182 concert. When questioned about this, he basically went “my family would want me to go to the concert”. Today, minutes after posting about asking for thoughts and prayers, he @‘ed an OF model on Twitter, asking her to sit on his face
Bc it’s part of the safety demo & music track list for the trip, there is a VERY good chance that if there’s still some power left in the sub, it’s playing an instrumental of My Heart Will Go On on loop
Also, the vessel is a submersible bc it doesn’t meet literally any of the safety regulations to be called a submarine. Which the CEO knew, because he’s blatantly said that safety regulations get in the way of progress
The CEO once stated that he thought the future of humanity was not in space, but in the ocean when the surface becomes uninhabitable
Apparently the controller he’s using has REAL bad reviews because the connection always fails
These idiots paid $250k EACH but they had to pack their own lunch. Not even a damn charcuterie board
The pilot’s seat is on the toilet. So whenever someone needs to go, the pilot needs to move
There’s 1 window looking out. That’s it
It’s about the size of a minivan
The sub uses texts (but only to the CEO’s phone) to communicate, as well as StarLink, but they can only access that if they surface
The door literally cannot be opened from inside
There is a decent chance that at least 1 person has been cannibalized (my bet was the pilot since he’s not rich, but bc of the banging sounds, he’s probs not dead, so it may be the CEO)
They’re supposed to run out of oxygen tomorrow (22/06/23) at 7 am est, but tbh, the CO2 scrubber system will probs fail before that
The toilet is a plastic bag
This is only the 3rd time in 3 years the vessel has gone to the Titanic. Every other time, there’s an issue and they gotta turn back within like 4 hours
A lot of major news networks are trying to remain positive, but it’s a HILARIOUS comparison when you go to social media and every single person is like “yeah that shit is built like a cardboard boat, they’re fucked”
The company’s name is literally called OceanGate

just engaged in discourse on goodreads im sorry
#context: someone reviewed a book saying the author was a SWERF because they said the phrase sold their bodies on One page and said that#the books history of white supremacy didn't condemn it enough??? when the book LITERALLY DID outright many many times#it was a fucking history of white supremacy in oregon and how white supremacy is embedded in the states history and how it remained -#prevalent in modern culture due to people treating nazi skinheads as misguided youth instead of fascists#how dumb r u im sorry like#u read that and think the author takes no stance against white supremacy? do u need it written at the top of every page?? bozo#bad faith argument + bringing twitter discourse to a book that covered nuanced themees +#+ not responding if they comment back + die#.r

re: ohio chemical disaster
OP of the post I reblogged earlier regarding this turned off reblogs (understandable have a nice day) but I got a request to put the information in its own post, so here.
First thing: PLEASE be careful about claims that "The Media" is suppressing something as part of a malicious agenda, or that an event has been purposefully manufactured by "The Media" to distract from something else.
Not only is this a really common disinformation tactic (not only urging you to share/reblog quickly, but discouraging you from fact checking), treating "The Media" as a monolithic entity with purposeful agency and a specific, malicious agenda—particularly one that manufactures events to "distract" from other events—is a red flag for conspiracy theories.
There's already a post in the tag attributing the supposed lack of media coverage to "reptilians." Please connect the dots here.
Second—"the news isn't focusing on this as much as I think they should" is not a media blackout. Every major USA news source is reporting on the Ohio train derailment. Googling returns at least 4 pages of results from major news media sources. Even just googling "Ohio" gets you plenty of results about it.
This is an unusual amount of media attention for a U.S. environmental disaster.
Because this kind of thing happens all the damn time.
The "media blackout" narrative gives the impression that this is an unusual event that isn't receiving wall to wall coverage only because it's being suppressed—when the reality is that similar disasters happen a lot, and hardly ever get the attention the Ohio disaster is getting.
Consider this example, not too far from my local area: A few years ago, almost 2,000 tons of radioactive fracking waste were illegally dumped in an Eastern Kentucky municipal landfill, directly across from a middle school. Leachate from that landfill goes into the Kentucky River, which is where most of the central part of the state gets its drinking water. As far as we know, the radioactive waste isn't leaking yet, but it could start leaking at any time.
Zero national news sources covered this. Why? If I was to hazard a guess, I would say "because it's business as usual for the fossil fuel industry."
Consider also the case of Martin County, KY, which has had foul-smelling, contaminated drinking water for decades. Former coal country in Appalachia is poisoned and toxic, and laws have little power to punish the companies that created the destruction.
What happened in Ohio is just a little window into a whole world of horrors.
The Martin County coal slurry spill that is still poisoning the water 20 years later killed literally everything in the water for miles downstream (a book Mom read said 70 miles of the Ohio river were made completely lifeless). It was 30 times larger than the Exxon-Valdez oil spill, and it was in some sense "covered up"—in the sense that the Bush administration shut down the investigation because the Republicans are buddies with the fossil fuel industry, and proceeded to relax regulations even further.
Seriously, read that wiki article to get pissed enough to eat glass.
Hopefully the Ohio chemical spill will inspire real action to institute regulations to prevent shit like this from ever happening again. It's not the end of the world. It's not radically different from what industries have been causing the whole damn time. It is pretty bad.
I would urge everyone to actually search up information about it instead of getting news from Tiktok or Twitter, because the more false information gets distributed, the less momentum any effort to respond with improved regulations and changes to prevent future disasters will have. Plenty of facts here *are* public and being publicly discussed and pretending that they're not is actively detrimental.

“ive been persisting for a year and my 3d still hasnt conformed!” 𓆩✧𓆪
stop TRYING to get shit in the 3d! trying will not get you anywhere but experiencing more trying! remember the 3d reflects self! if you are assuming/being the one who is trying and waiting for shit to conform then what do u expect? more of that will reflect…
𓆩★𓆪 if you have been “persisting for a year,” i can assure you two things:
thing 1: you were persisting in what you dont want/fears/doubts & identifying w them
thing 2: you were not being the version of you who already has it / you were not being in the state of the wish fulfilled
thing 1: persisting in what you dont want/fears/doubts: you can have all the doubts you want, but when you identify w them / persist in them, then you flop. when u assume/do techniques, you are choosing to identify as another version of you. key word = identify ->
if i identify as the version of me who is living my dream life, does it make sense to look at a doubt and identify w it? or assume the doubt has bad meaning? no. it makes sense that i move on from it bc i already identified as the one who has it. the doubt is just there, neutral.
continuing to identify w the version of you who has it regardless of the 3d
= persisting
= applying the law
persisting = continuing to hold an idea or identity as true even when you manifest it, you will still be persisting in it because you will continue to hold it as fact. you are always persisting in something.
𓆩★𓆪 “how to not identify w a doubt?”
1) move on from it. focus on something else. ur only job is to assume it in the 4d only. if you feel lack, dont panic, feel the doubt & when ur ready, change self/states theres no need to push urself into anxiety. ur desire isnt going anywhere. relax.
2) identify as the one who has it. when u truly identify as the one who has it, any doubt would seem worthless.
𓆩★𓆪 “how to identify w it?”
assume that is ur identity already in imagination. its a simple decision. techniques are there to help to so use them to satisfy yourself in imagination, not to see 3d change. i say this because you need to get out of this 3d trap ->
3d trap = you assume you have something & feel good and then when you look at the 3d, you let that make you feel like shit
solution: know the 3d is always neutral and only you add meaning to it + know the 3d literally reflects imagination + focus on satisfying ur inner self only
sweet gentle reminder: STOP TRYING AND START BEING! YOU DUMBASS CUNT
thing 2: not being the version of you who already has it / not being in the state of the wish fulfilled. state of wish fulfilled = you know you have it already (in imagination); nothing in the 3d can change that
there are infinite versions of you (rich you, broke you, sexy you, business woman you, 100k followers you, annoying you). your job (or should i call it privilege) is to choose one version of you and identify with it in imagination and boom its done.
1. choose the version of you that you want to be
2. identify w it in imagination (via techniques to satisfy your inner self)
3. know its a fact because you just experienced it in the real reality (imagination aka inner self)
4. know any fake illusions of reality (3d) are neutral
𓆩★𓆪 in summary, if you are aware of it not reflecting after persisting for 100 years, you are saying that your senses & 3d mean more than inner self (even tho the 3d is a reflection of inner self). stop forgetting that it is all neutral. it is all inner self reflecting! CHANGE SELF!
𓆩★𓆪 the 3d is a form of inner self so it makes common sense to go to the source and change self (imagination). idc about how long youve been persisting bc if you were rly doing ur job and assuming it in imagination, you would know you are god who has whatever she claims in an instant.
from my sexy twitter thread (click da rainy cloud): 🌨️
kisses, jani 𓆩★𓆪

States:: Creation is finished
How to manifest literally everything you want in life.
What is a STATE?
A state is what you identify as. Example: poor, rich, pretty, ugly, master at manifesting, bad at manifesting etc. There are infinite realities and whatever reality you can think of, that state already exists. You are always identifying yourself as something.
Creation is finished is a basic concept of the law of assumption. What this means is that whatever state you want to occupy (desire you want to have) already exists. There is absolutely no work to be done. There are infinite realities that exist RIGHT NOW. This means that all you have to do is to start identifying as the person who has it!
Because creation is finished, you are not creating anything. This is why I don’t support methods like affirmations which is mostly focused on “say this affirmation 1mil times to get your desires.” BUT you can use methods to your advantage! Just not the way you were taught. Since creation is finished, you don’t need to do anything to get your desires. You don’t have to force your subconscious to be impressed… you don’t have to listen to subliminals all day. You don’t have to affirm robotically all day to the point you do it in autopilot. Tell me, does it make sense to do all that when you have your desires? Does it make sense for you to battle your negative thoughts if you have your desires?
Here’s all you have to do: Accept your desires as a present fact. Identify as the person who has it already. Occupy the state in which your wildest desires are yours. You cannot accept your desires as a present fact if you view it as sth you have to create or summon into being.
HOW DO YOU ACCEPT IT?
You remind yourself, creation is finished, the state already exists, your desires are yours. Relax in the knowing that you have your desires. The feeling that Neville Goddard spoke about, means KNOWING you have your desires. You are **not** forcing a feeling. How does it feel to have your desires? Ask yourself that question, please ask yourself that question even if you think it would not do anything for you.
METHODS
I said earlier that you can use methods to your advantage. You would not be doing anything method to GET anything. Because remember, creation is finished- what is there to get? It is already done. You use methods to simply remind yourself that you already have your desires. Manifesting is not work, you don’t have to lift a finger to manifest. Whatever you desire already exists. It already is. The state is finished, all you have to do is mentally accept the fact that you are the person who has their desires.
UNWANTED STATE/CIRCUMSTANCES
Stop paying attention to the state in which u don’t have your desires. That state is also JUST a state, mentally view it as insignificant. Neville Goddard viewed the 3d as a dead state, which is how you should be viewing the 3d. Whatever happens in the 3d is none of ur concern.
“Will it happen?,” circumstances, how it will happen, timing- none of that bullshit is your concern. The person who has their desires already does not concern themselves with timing and being worried about the 3d. You are the creator. The creator does not ask such questions.
Note: this is just my thread on twitter that im reposting here! (@nyxcreate)

Fun upside of rats and spambots fleeing Twitter for Tumblr are all the new fucking, uh...
They're not TERFs this time, they're "not feminists" because "feminism is cancer", they're, uh...
"Violent Misandrists"?
Like, huge use of Judith killing Holofernes vibes. 15yos posting "Kill all men (except my male mutuals lol!)" and insinuating that banning pornography will end child abuse forever.
(deep breath)
Look.
If you are a teenager from the USA, and your parents are Republicans, please consider that EVERYTHING you were ever taught about media, politics, gender, sex, feminism, and the advisability of mass murder as a political tool
has been carefully tailored to make you feel enraged with the state of the world, which is full of Good People and Bad People (groups it is very easy to sort everyone you meet into) and the way to Fix Society is to criminalize, incarcerate, or brutally murder as many Bad People as possible. You have probably seen several different sorting systems proposed, and may not have seen much political discourse beyond debates about "Which PART of society are Bad People who should be punished?"
And yes, I realize you've also been taught that people like me insisting on bullshit like "nuance" and "tolerance" and "educating yourself" are literal Satan and probably in favour of ritualized child abuse and puppy-kicking.
We're not. I'm not. I'm like a lot of people you wouldn't think are Good People, who nevertheless work to make the world better in what we understand to be the best methods available.
I don't know why I'm saying this. I'll probably end up a target of vitriol and regret ever speaking up. Just.
You are not smart for coming to the conclusion that the world is full of Bad People who just need to be killed. You did not figure out (or find the true prophet of) The Secret Truth of the Entire Universe. You haven't figured out how to fix the world. You just followed the fucking breadcrumb trail laid down by people who want to recruit you to commit atrocities in their name.
The world is so much more complicated than you've been led to believe. Fixing its problems is so much more tedious and difficult. Cruelty is so much less useful. And you've got so much more learning to do.
