there's no shame in continuing to live with your parents as an adult, but it does have an undeniable poisoning effect on your brain that you can't start healing until you live somewhere else
You should be able to rot in bed for 2, maybe 3 hours after waking up before it starts affecting what time it is. If I wake up at 8:30 and lie in bed for 2hr it should still be 8:30 when I get up
if you’re more angry and distraught about paralyzed dysphagics and nursing home residents using single use plastic straws then you are about Taylor Swift’s 104297th private jet flight I’m just going to assume you don’t actually care about the environment and you just really like yelling at people
"Stop bombing Gaza"
Train graffiti in Rome
Dozens of women were arrested from their homes and refugee centers, taken to Yarmouk Stadium in Gaza, their hijabs were removed from their heads, blindfolded, and they were searched. Many of them were subjected to sexual harassment, beatings and abuse. [@/mhdksafa on X. 12/28/23.]
I won't forgive ANYONE who calls themselves a feminist -for remaining silent about this genocide -you ARE complicit. During any and all instances of institutionalized and systematic violence, oppression, and abuse being executed by all imperial and colonial forces around the world -for you to say nothing -shame on ALL of you for cherry picking your 'issues.'
Twitter/X user states: Israel has wiped out over 900 bloodlines in Gaza since October 7th. As in, killed every single living member of the family, in every generation. As in, no survivors of that family name. As in -genocide. [by: @ shailjapatel]
Twitter/X user was originally responding to a post made by @ MahaGaza, who wrote: Wateen Monir Abujummeiza, the last member of the Monir's Abujummeiza's family, succumbed to her wounds today in #Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli attack.
[Image description: there is a picture of a young girl in a dark green, sleeveless dress with an attached belt into the design, and a blouse; most likely a buttoned up long-sleeved collared shirt, which is light purple. It has also fluttery sleeves. She carries a backpack, and this picture was most likely taken before school.]
Reasons I have seen webcomic authors publicly cite for cancelling their comic mid-storyline:
Too busy
Lost interest
Increasing age gap between characters and author made it difficult to relate
Did the math and figured out that completing the planned arc with their current update schedule would take 150 years
Ostensible author actually a fictional persona that’s now being retired, and they didn’t want the comic linked to their real identity
Realised that the way they’d written the central relationship wasn’t emotionally genuine (note: this was a hobbit porn comic)
The comic’s readership contained too many lesbians
Converted to a religion that regards all representational art as a form of idolatry
Broke up with the person the protagonist was based on
Outed as not actually Japanese
Imprisoned for manslaughter
Aliens
If you tag your pro-Palestine posts as #important, it's not helping the content reach more people
#free palestine does not take any effort
It is your voice that is likely to reach people who have not considered what Palestinian occupation really means.
And realistically, it is your solidarity that can help shift public opinion in the west.

friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:
change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot
this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
you can set your likes and follows to private
checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!
tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
be nice to the reddit refugees, they're our friends <3
Business wants to flatten human-online engagement for business aims. This is the algorithm's prime function—not delivering you the content you want, when you want it.
So, the solution is to up the ante. Send backwash chaotic metrics. Do big loud gay throttle. You can literally choose to go against the online grain anytime you want.
Example: You love tea. OK. Identify indie tea brand that's super ethics. Put them on blast as hard possible online and in search. Get 5 friends (who get 5 friends) to do this. This helps them.
But also, bidnid ppl do competitive analysis. big shitty tea brand says "huh, why is trending?" big tea brand go "how can i do that. wait."
and if you picked the right indie tea brand, only logical answer for bigboi is "consumer like ethical tea. i...oops." and when big brand tries to only LOOK like tiny tea brand, you call bullshit no buy
you do not give social media signals to big bad mean tea brand. you screencap if you gotta and use asterisk or whatever. all the while, applying pressure to uplift cool indie tea brand and cool little guys like them.
this is legit how online commerce and digital analytics works.
1 person uplifting cool indie ethical brand becomes 2. then 10. then 100. then 1000. then 100,000 until big bidnid fucks have to go "and i oop." if they want market share, they will have to evolve or you will ignore them like an annoying bug.
pls prove to me that normies are able to grasp what im saying: you have all the power. you're just not using it.
I hope that everyone who was hurt through religion , finds comfort , And safety . Whether that be in a new religion , finding peace in an old religion , or fining peace in a lack of religion .
Sometimes you’re gonna have access needs that are incompatible with another disabled person’s and that’s valid.
Neither of you are ableist for not being able to accommodate each other’s needs.
As a disabled and chronically ill person "Thank You G-d, who has made me in Your image." is infinitely more affirming and comforting for me than the variation that goes, "...who has made me according to Your will."
It's not that G-d intentionally gave me a body that causes me to suffer because They will it to fulfil some greater purpose.
It's that my body, even as sick and weathered as it is, is a living breathing reflection of the Divine.
Reminding me that my disabled and chronically ill body is sacred too.
you! random leftist! can you spread awareness about oppression being enacted by non-white/non-western people without either getting wildly bigoted, trying to force the situation to be a carbon copy of American racial dynamics, or just ignoring the whole thing entirely?
