I don't know what I'll be posting mostly. Anything that I enjoy, find disturbing, makes me think, that I feel strongly about or support, horror related, etc. Basically whatever I want. Be warned.

In all of the living world, to every other single living creature on this planet, we are the things that go bump in the night. We are the monsters. We are the destroyers. We are the things to be feared. Humankind are the ghouls that feed upon this planet and all its creatures. There is no scenario in which humans are wiped out that doesn't benefit the remaining life on this planet and the very planet itself, assuming we didn't take the planet with us. Nature has no need for vampires, werewolves, zombies/ghouls or whatever to be the monsters, because we are the worst monster possible on this planet. We have filled that role and dominate as the scariest, most evil creatures in existence. We ravage, we pollute, we devour, we hunt for fun and we destroy, even ourselves, all to satisfy our own selfish desires, without restraint or mercy. Humankind as a whole. We are the things that go bump in the night. We are the monsters.
“You are not just here to fill space or be a background character in someone else’s movie. Consider this: nothing would be the same if you did not exist. Every place you have ever been and everyone you have ever spoken to would be different without you. We are all connected, and we are all affected by the decisions and even the existence of those around us.”
I'm just going to leave this here, because this woman said what I've been trying to articulate for ages much more effectively and succinctly than I've been able to
A reminder that israels founding fathers literally weaponized mass rape against Palestinian women and girls and spread their stories to surrounding villages to make them "leave" (flee, intending to come back). My grandmother's left his village in 48 and again in a neighboring village in 67, until they were fully exiled from Palestine. But what do I know about the weaponization of rhetoric to make Palestinians seem like the bad guys?
