I AM DOING A HUNGER STRIKE FOR GAZA
It has been almost 200 days of genocide in Gaza, and during this time Palestinians have been in the worst stage of starvation and famine. Children have begun dying from starvation and malnutrition, and more and more photos of Palestinian children are coming out where the child is nothing more than skin and bones.
Personally, I know I take the food I eat for granted every single day. I am no more deserving of a meal than the children of Gaza, so for that reason me and a few of my friends will be doing a minimum of FIVE day hunger strike in solidarity with my brothers and sisters in Palestine.
We will be starting on 1 May, as to hunger strike safely there is preparation needed. I making this post now in case anyone wants to join me and will want to prepare. I am not doing a dry hunger strike, I will be having fluids and I also don’t believe I will be able to hunger strike safely for more than 15 days for health reasons.
“Sponsor me” on my hunger strike!
If you send me proof of a $50 USD donation to Anera (the equivalent of feeding 180 Palestinians), I will add ONE day to my hunger strike (a maximum of 15 days)
Join me on my hunger strike!
If you think this is something you would be able to participate in, I encourage you to participate in any capacity that you can- as long as you’re doing it SAFELY
Here is a resource I have been following to prepare ***YOU CAN’T JUST START A HUNGER STRIKE BY CUTTING OUT FOOD COMPLETELY AND NOT PREPARING***
If you want to participate, please do your research and do it safely. I am doing this for the Gazan children who don’t have a choice right now, and I know in my heart I owe it to them. There is so much we consider a basic right and take for granted that people in Gaza don’t have access to. This hunger strike is solely in solidarity/raise money for Anera, there is no specific end result.
More information on hunger strikes (and why they needed to be prepared for if you’re choosing to do one)
#in case anyone gets weird about it I am Palestinian#this is important to me#I also am not kidding a hunger strike can go very wrong if not done properly#so if you actually want to do it properly you need to be preparing and doing research#ask box is back open for proof of donations#🦢

Your post about art vs content got me thinking about the differences between the two. To me there is no difference besides the mindsets. One is of creator and the enjoyer, the other is content and consumer it removes the personhood, the joy/emotion, from the equation. Like a writer or video creator may not see their work as art so content creator maybe a way to refer to themselves comfortably but it sounds so machine, emotionless and lifeless, like a cookie cutter recipe mass producing something verses people lovingly crafting something...then again Disney uses a cookie cutter recipe for the most part and it brings out bangers cause people lovingly make it their own so maybe I'm thinking too hard on this
Does my long-winded rant make sense?
see, I get what you mean, but I still feel like the willingness to entertain calling art of any kind "content" reduces it to the facet of consumption where in reality, the experience of consuming art is not the sole defining trait of it.
Reducing arts like music, writing, painting, dance, voice acting, theater, etc. to the role of "content"- a thing created to be consumed, measured and valued by how pleasant or easy it is to digest- I feel that it was our biggest red flag to herald the incoming tide of AI "art".
Because if art is "content", if arts are nothing but consumable matter, then obviously the key to success is to produce as much soft, tasty, edible paste as we possibly can at the lowest possible expense.
It's the same issue I have with "meal replacements", diet culture, nutrient slurries, twenty-step skincare routines, 24/7 body padding and shapewear and laxative teas and "grind culture". It's not a cause, but a symptom, of the disease that is late-stage capitalism.
Things must be produced at low cost and remain in high demand forever. Things must be perfect and palatable and the new hit trend forever. People must pay hand over fist to consume without asking anything in return, and if they start dropping like flies at the unending unrewarded thankless demand of it all, then that must be treated as a weakness. We should all take pride in how much we can spend, pay, give, produce, and think as little as possible about what we ask for ourselves.
So, who cares if, of two identical paintings, one was made by a person and one was made by a computer program? It's the same work, so what does it matter? What does it matter?
I am an artist. I make art. I ask a question, make a statement, declare something horrific or challenging or upsetting or wrong or grotesque, and when you respond, we are together experiencing a conversation. We are existing, two people living one life and reaching out and touching across time and space. No matter the work, you're at the barest minimum saying, "I'm alive, and you're alive, and at one time or another we shared this same world, and at the end of the day we aren't too terribly different. My heart is worth sharing, and your heart is worth the struggle of understanding."
An AI-generated piece, a computer-generated voice, a CGI puppet of someone long since dead and gone, they cannot speak. They have no voice. Ay best, they are the most chewable, consumable, landlord-beige common denominator possible that you can sit and listen to like the lone survivor of a shipwreck listening to the same three songs on a broken record, and at worst, they're the uncaring vomit of an empty, unloving, value-addled hack wearing the skin of someone I know over their own.
When you abandon art to say that you make content, that should not be a point of pride. That's an embarrassment. That's not sitting down for an intelligent discussion with an equal, that's kneeling at the feet of the crowd and saying, "what do you want to see me do? I can be anyone you've ever loved. I can be them, I can be anyone, as long as you love me."
I can make content. I can be consumed. What do you want to consume? I'll make myself consumable. I'll make myself just like anything you like. And I'll make so much of it that you'll never have to go anywhere else, because it'll all be right here, and under all the cut-and-paste schlock you've seen before I will sit alone in the dark and the silence and I will know that I am safe, because I am valued, because I am desired, and I need to be desired or else I am worthless like a factory that no longer churns out steel or a hen that no longer lays eggs or a cow that is too old to make milk.
Content, the most literal meaning, is something which is contained inside a container. What it is doesn't really matter, and the best it can hope to be is something worthy of being scooped out and used.
Art is an experience that transcends value. Art is something you can eat without paying for. You can make it out of anything and anyone can do it. It can be crude and vulgar and bad, and that's a strength because it means something. It always, always means something, and it doesn't matter if you like it or not. It's not content because it doesn't fill anything. It's a living, breathing thing, and whether you want to birth it or eat it, then you're going to have to be willing to put the fucking work in
#I want to apologize but I'm not going to#This is important to me#I do not want to create content#I do not want to be universally loved#I do not want my existence to revolve around being used#I'm not a machine I'm a person and I'll do what makes me happy#Even if that isn't good or useful#I don't want to be pretty I want to be alive#Don't look at me#I'm breathing#I'm screaming#I'm ugly and sharp and painful to hold#And that is not a bad thing#To come back to

The ace community doesn't just want characters who can be "interpreted as acespec" we want characters who loudly and proudly proclaim their ace/aro/aroace/acespecness! We want characters who are both introverts AND extroverts. We want characters who wear green and purple, and wear black rings on their middle fingers. We want characters who make cake and garlic bread jokes and ace puns for the five hundredth time. We want ace characters who say "gross" and "eww" and make faces when their couple friends are making out and flirting, and are completely unashamed to say it. We want ace characters who are comfortable in their own skin!
But most importantly we want to be seen!

fyozai + pet names is like.. dazai calls fyodor the most obnoxious cringe things known to man, and he stacks seven pet names on top of each other just to make it worse. meanwhile fyodor uses sophisticated, genuinely sweet things like dear or darling or russian terms of endearment. but 80% of the time what he really means is "i am on hour twelve of my fantasy where i poison you and then proceed to watch you writhe in agony and refuse to put you out of your misery and then eventually force the antidote in you just so you won't get the satisfaction of dying even after all that pain"
#dazai: hello my little schnookums pookie bear babygirl pumpkin pie nightlight starbright first star i see tonight. how are you ^.^#fyodor: i am fine dear (said while vividly imagining dazai being pecked apart by birds and bleeding to death)#fyozai#bsd#this is important to me#dazai can only show affection ironically so he says these things like theyre a joke#but what he really means is please for the love of GOD let me hold your hand#hello grace here

when tommy and buck inevitably break up (because as much as i love them and have hope for them i don't think it'll be super long term) i want him to become the ex that we never get rid of because he and buck become really really good friends
like i need him to be super supportive of buck just all the time and they still lowkey flirt but in a totally platonic way and i need them to just like make fun of each other like "jfc i cannot believe i ever dated you" but be besties who love each other and i NEED tommy to be the one who has to sit buck down and tell him "dude you're in love with eddie" and then watches from the sidelines in utter amusement as buck trips over himself trying to date eddie
#911 abc#I JUST WANT TOMMY TO STICK AROUND OKAY#he needs to be an ex we can't get rid of but not in the way taylor was#nah i want them ro be BESTIES#and tommy never lets go of the fact that he was bucks bi awakening or the fact that he called himself an ally on the first date#and buck is like “being friends with you was a mistake i hate you so much” because hes embarrassed of his baby bi phase#this is important to me#i need it#abc im begging you#give me exes buck and tommy who are besties and get beers at least once a week

POTTER FAMILY HEADCANNON TIMEEEEE
So, imo, Fleamont was for sure a Gryffindor but Euphemia was a slytherin, and they were like the first generation of the potter boys falling for slytherins trend. BUT!! Fleamont did have a best friend in Gryffindor, one Minerva McGonagall, so when Monty and Effie had James, Minnie was actually his godmother and was around all the time and yeah
#he would yell ‘auntie Minnie!’ and run up and hug her#this is important to me#james potter#ao3#fanfic#the potters#euphemia potter#fleamont potter#james fleamont potter#minerva mcgonagall#hogwarts houses#gryffindor#slytherin

James and Sirius have each other's animagus forms as tattoos and you cannot convince me otherwise.
#prongsfoot#bambibelle#james potter#sirius black#james/sirius#and when they touch Padfoot and Prongs get to play with each other#because magic tattoos#I yelled about this in this discord#and I'm yelling about this here too#because tattoos#James also has Canis Major constellation on his back#and the dog star glows in the dark when Sirius is near#this is important to me

Thinking about pro hero bakugo having a full busy day of saving lives just for him to go back home an take you out to dinner and fuck you senseless after. As if it’s a casual 9-5 job. The best part is that you’re the only one who sees him like this. The only one who gets to taste his cock after he’s taken you out for dinner, and treated you like royalty. Just you. It fills you with so much pride knowing girls are out there going crazy for their chance to do exactly this with the pro, but he’s too busy with your tongue around his dick 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
nonnie... the way i think about this so frequently... like just the concept of dating pro-hero dynamight... he is so popular. he's SO popular. the pro-hero equivalent of a heartthrob (a title he shares with deku).
you'd like to BELIEVE that you're down to earth about dating someone so famous, but sometimes, seeing the way people treat him gets under your skin. journalists flirt with him in their tv interviews, batting their eyelashes and touching his biceps, laughing too hard at his relatively unfunny jokes. of course, he always finds a way to bring you up. my partner, this— my partner, that.
but of course, you're a civilian, and when his fans find out, they get a little irate. he could do better. why isn't he dating a pro-hero like so and so?? well, im better looking than them! it feels good when he takes you out to a nice dinner and parades you around a little. when he tells you to wear something nice and walks you into the upscale restaurant on his arm. hell, even grabbing food from the food truck by your shared place feels good. it's like getting to mark your territory a little bit.
and then there's the end of the night, when you're swirling your tongue around the tip of his cock, or when he finally starts bullying the tip between your legs. yeah, maybe the waitress flirted with him all evening. maybe she made goo goo eyes while the other servers giggled at her boldness to do it in front of you, but you've got him occupied. and there's something sort of sweet about having what so many others want, even if it started so far removed from those sorts of ideas.
i think about it often and frequently.
#cal care package#this is important to me#bc in my self ship#i am a civilian and he's the head of his agency#and it's important to me. it is#i love him#ANYWAY#tw.jealousy#gosh i have to get used to my new trigger tag format

chrome grey minimalist interior design is my arch nemesis. refusing to write dooku permanently residing in castle serenno. it's very funny that he lives in a default catalogue home or like he kept up with the kardashians and wanted what they had in technogoth or whatever.
but ultimately i am gaslighting myself into believing that this old money asshole owns a hunting castle by the sea or in the mountains or both and it's made of wood and stone and stained glass thank you for listening
