I read a couple of books and now I´m completely obsessed with Leia Organa again, so here´s my new Star Wars side blog: @leia-organa-fics
As a Jew, telling us that we shouldn't expect you to stand for us and condemn Hamas while also expecting us to stand for you and fight against Israeli apartheid is gross. We should be standing for each other.
And don't whine about 'transactional activism.' I have no reason to support you if you want me dead or at the very least powerless and silent.
to be clear, i have no opinion on what you want as a jew. hamas also has no interest in you as a jew. hamas is explicitly an islamist, militant liberation movement that is borne of and focused on the israeli occupation. broadening it to "jews" is israeli propaganda, which has consistently declared all jewish people the enemy when hamas has not, and held palestinians responsible for (very real) global anti-semitism when they are not. the issues of global anti-semitism and jewish safety are the responsibility of their respective european, north american, african and asian governments. they do not rest on palestinians, the victims of zionist ethnic supremacy.
but if you are an israeli jewish citizen who supports the occupation and the idf that is currently enacting a genocide, then you have no right at all to demand anything of palestinians nor their allies. you have missed the entire point of saying "palestinians understand that condemning hamas is a dogwhistle for justifying their own death" and are attempting to imply that palestinians and israelis are equal parties who just don't get along. you are also (incorrectly) equating not condemning hamas to supporting violence. you are attempting to imply that ending israeli apartheid is a favor to us, when it is in fact the only way to end hamas. it is for your own good before it is for ours, because i don't think you as a human being should believe that only a genocial, fascist, apartheid regime can keep you safe.
this is not about transactional activism and the fact that you think an occupation can be reduced to transactional activism is worrying. your apartheid regime has just killed over 8700 people, including 3000 children. take some responsibility for yourself and time to reflect. you do not have the currency to ask for transactional activism.
INTJ: *wanders around city in the night while dreaming about living the life they read in books, lays on sofa with candles all around and theater music on, stares at a painting for ages because it reminds then of something important*
Also INTJ: *has their life in an excel sheet, knows when dreams are too crazy and scale then down into achievable format, and wants to make sense all the time*
this picture my mum gave me out of an old calendar is so funny to me bc
for an image that has nothing to do with skulduggery pleasant, that is straight up chinduggery. At the very least, that is china sorrows 100%.
but oh? What's this? In the background, is it-? Yes it is!
That's fuckin Obi-wan Kenobi!
ya know like….you always hear about the classics™ authors having stupid wild shenanigans with each other. they all banded together to be dumbass chaotic english majors together. the stories are great and they’re all considered timeless genius writers….we don’t have that with modern age authors? where’s the goddamn sense of community? where’s the saucy tales of jk rowling, stephen king, james patterson and nicholas sparks locked up in an orgy cabin during a hurricane and having a writing contest. no one’s ever gotten in a fist fight with stephanie meyer. rick riordan didn’t cry face down in george r r martin’s garden after no one liked blood of olympus. jodi picoult doesn’t have a single damn calcified heart in her possession. cassandra clare and suzanne collins never had sex on a grave. neil gaiman has never gone on a week long sex-binge that would have killed him if r l stine didn’t intervene. john green has never written a book in two weeks while snorting massive amounts of cocaine. where’s the drama!!! where’s the scandal!!!! where’s the intrigue!!! modern day authors have to step it UP a notch, God dammit.
a character you think isn’t appreciated enough?
I actually really like Militsia?? She seems really sweet and I like her interactions with Val (although sometimes they can feel a bit one sided)
Like she actually raises some good points early on when they first meet + genuinely cares for Val (so far..) rather than using her as some weird ego boost and entertainment unlike a certain scamdullery pheasant
Okay, but can we all just appreciate how fluffy and soft Sanguine looks even though he´s drawn in red and black only?
I doodled Billy-Ray and Dusk on my to do board
Please please please I know we all love Friends and Chandler was our favourite character and Matthew always put a smile on our faces and that’s all amazing but can we please please please talk about this:
“I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I'm still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me?' I will always say, 'Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can't always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one.
And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me.
When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web...
but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.
I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.”

Apparently Grace Kelly used to call Stephanie her wild child or “enfant terrible”
So I just found out that one of Grace Kelly´s daughters is named Stephanie… Coincidence? After all Skulduggery is weirdly obsessed with Grace Kelly.
“Ride it. Put a saddle on it and ride it. Wouldn’t that be cool? Wouldn’t that be the best thing to ever happen in the world?”
