some photos i took from emerson college’s encampment for palestine. most of these were taken only a few hours before the boston PD attacked hundreds of protestors and brutally arrested 108 students, most of whom were poc, jewish, and/or queer.

anyone who spent any amount of time in the encampment will tell you just how much it brought us all together—there was always food, music, arts and crafts, and hundreds of messages of support written in chalk.

after the BPD was done brutalising us for peacefully protesting, they power washed down the walls of the encampment—all of these messages are gone. theyre trying to erase what happened, but they’ll never truly be able to. everyone saw, and everyone will remember.

My cousin's face is all over the news as one of the Emerson student protestors and of course the news camera is zoomed and centered on the one brown man in the courtroom. he's indian catholic!! but of course they are gonna put his life and career in jeopardy for clicks!!!!

we're texting now and he says he was doxxed by one of the newspapers. What is wrong with people!!!!!!!

All in the name of shaming young adults gathering on their campus they pay 60k/year to be on, protesting colonialism and genocide???

woke up to my period. devastating

i'm not even a swiftie but i am a country music fan and this is the most bizarre criticism i have seen in my life!

i mean???

it's so mindboggling to think that this time tomorrow i'm gonna be the human sacrifice for my friends' Dionysian sex cult. i have a bachelor's degree from hundreds of hours spent translating ancient debauchery, a major I only pretended to be interested in during my senior year of high school in an attempt to seduce my nerdy Latin tutor, ended up falling in love with the archeological side of things but because it was a blowoff class for me until i was sexually motivated I don't know shit about the language. Still, as we all know my contributions to Ao3's Hugo include my Latin-language erotica hit Grumio Delectat (2014) and a whirlwind romance featuring fellow cultist Pythagoras, Now I'll Never Know If I Was Triangles (2013). i've been inside the ancient brothels of Pompeii, viewed "Pan copulating with goat" with my green and gold eyes, and myself performed cunnilingus on a leather-hard human sculpture—the latter of which I received graphic death threats on tungle.corn herself, as well as the aforementioned ao3. I never really thought that when I made my 2016 new year's resolution "to suck a dick" despite being a lesbian it would domino effect into, well, getting bent over the alter by maenads to the beat of music i wrote for our sapphic pagan transgender sex cult. Which is exactly what is going to be happening to me in <24 hours.

Um.... all this to preface... Does anyone have any advice for being in this situation???

ugh i will upload the lyrics when i get to my computer, Tumblr app hates formatting

btw this is the demo i made last night that i have been obsessed with lol

oops i just realize i didnt include a transcription for my song someone lmk when the video is done processing tyvm

*announcer voice* And now, we’ll hear a few words from our sponsors!

The Sponsor:

Apparently people who don't have executive dysfunction think that actually working on something is the hardest part of doing something. And that's why they get mad that you call the rest of the project "easy" after you've finally worked through doing the plan and know what to do when you're working.

So when you're through with the epiphany of how to make it physically possible to make the thing you're making, and you're sharing the plan with excitement, because the hard part is over, and now you only have to get your hands moving and do it, they get mad at you like

"it's not that easy! It's a lot of hard work! >:C"

they mean it, because

to them, working is the hardest part.

They don't have to fight their brains to get started. They don't have to fight their way through making the choices, making the plan, making yourself make the thing. People who don't suffer from executive dysfunction think that the hardest part is actually doing the thing.

rb for a greater poll size blah blah

God, I'm so happy I could finish this in time for Valentine's Day but take my offering Ocelhira nation, they've become my recent brainrot. I hate them so much (affectionate).

This is my recreation of this image I found on twitter because of the sheer cunty energy radiating off of it

i am skeptical you could do that actually, tiktok user

Anybody want to play hangman with me? Here's the word: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.
