I feel like this shouldn’t have to be said, yet again, but Palestinians should not have to live in fear daily, not knowing if they will survive to the next day, when Israel continues their assault. They should not be forced to relocate because the Zionists have decided that the land that Palestinians have lived in for generations belongs to them. Zionists have chosen to try and erase an entire people, culture, civilization, country, from existence. Israel will tell Palestinians where they will be safe, and then bomb the supposed “safe zone”. They will shoot people in the street for fun and games. The IOF is a terrorist group, and as a whole has committed innumerable crimes against the Palestinian people.
My stance on this issue should be clear. I am writing this post because I was requested to by someone who is currently trying desperately to flee with her family. She, her daughter, and her husband deserve better than to live in fear. She and her family deserve safety, shelter, food, and comfort. I cannot fathom what it is like to be her right now, and this is all I can do for her from afar. I can share her story.
you can’t support autistic people and support the police. No amount of paint jobs or sensitivity training can stop police from killing with impunity
And fuck the jigsaw puzzle imagery advanced by the eugenicists at Autism Speaks. We’re not a “puzzle” to be “solved“
Half of all people killed by cops have a disability, because cops aren’t trained to recognize or deal with people with disabilities and very few places have people who are trained for those situations easily accessible during emergencies. So the cops come in and do what they’re paid to do - murder anyone who’s inconvenient to the state
Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers
People talk about Lolita like Humbert Humbert is a conflicted and dichotomous character and then you read the actual book and he’s like “I love lying to people for fun and getting lost in flights of wild imagination and making things up and telling falsehoods. Also I look like a bunch of movie stars and every woman in the stories I tell thinks I’m darkly handsome.”
HH: “I was in a mental institutions for reasons that are suspiciously never discussed where my favorite thing to do was lie to the psychologists.”
Readers: “I think he might be lying about being in love with a child but it’s impossible to know for sure.”
The edition I’m reading had a little introduction like “is Humbert Humbert a poet in love? Or a dangerous pervert? Perhaps…he is both.” 🤔🤔🤔
And then you turn the page to the forward and it’s like “Hi. It’s me. Vladimir Nabokov, speaking as a diagetic psychologist. Humbert Humbert is a consumate monster. Don’t trust anything he says.”
you’ve all gotta stop acting like “overweight” is a gentle PC alternative for the word fat and not itself an assertion of the ontological wrongness of being large. Over What Weight Precisely
I think so many people forget making the world a better place isn’t just about having all the ‘correct’ sociopolitical opinions and beliefs and knowing all the theory it’s also hugely about actually being a good person… everyday acts of kindness and empathy, going out of your way to help others, small moments of connection in a cold world, loving thy neighbour all that
i think as adults it’s our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least
Kiddo and I are back home, we ran to a couple thrift/antique stores in the area, now they’re just scanning through my witchcraft library while I vape. In a bit we’ll probably make some jewelry, go from there
being chronically ill sucks cuz its like no i am actually responsible and not flaky and i care about the things i pursue but my body feels like it’s on fire so i have to listen to it and forego every other responsibility i have today please believe me please believe me please believe me
