Do not fall into despair. Continue calling your local officials, attending protests, boycotting companies that fund open genocide. Because of this media blackout, we are now Palestine’s voice - please do your best for them.
This is not a war; what Israel is doing to Palestine is genocide. Do not sit idly by and do not stay quiet. Now more than ever is the most important time to not look away.
@Marxozoic: We Palestinians haven’t lost hope, and you shouldn’t either.
@Marxozoic: Yes, it’s tough. It’s the moment where “the heart has reached the throat” as we say in Arabic. But remember that it was always going to be like this, and that the Resistance is ready.
do you guys ever think about what sort of insane shit pliny the elder would be saying if he lived in the pokemon world. like we know he thought that asbestos was good protection against magic and that basilisk venom could travel up a spear and kill the man who stabbed the basilisk that way. i want to know what he’d think about a slug made of magma that’s as hot as the sun. i want to see his protections against electric type attacks made of rhydon horns. i want to see how many remedies he could concoct for every day maladies from sitrus berries and mudbray pee
I haven’t seen this linked on here so: this is an awesome resource for how you can help the people in Palestine. It has donation links, helps you figure out how to contact your representatives, and a regularly updated list of planned protests. It is USAmerican centric but the list of protests is international.
If you are American this site has a tool that sends an email for you. All you need to enter is your name, email address, and street address so they can auto-find your senators. It will take 30 seconds.
i must not cringe. cringe is the creativity-killer. cringe is the little-tedium that brings true boredom. i will face my cringe. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past, i will turn the inner eye back to my path. where the cringe has gone there will be nothing. only fun will remain
it’s actually so funny how challenging it is to write bona fide graphic, horny smut. like people don’t give smut writers enough credit. you are constantly running out of words to describe the same 2-4 body parts and same 4-6 motions. you are constantly attempting to do interesting and dynamic things in the prose with this extremely limited set of words. you are looking at your prose for the nastier bits and wondering if it actually sounds hot or if it just sounds goofy. you are then toning down your prose and then wondering if it now sounds tasteful or if it’s just boring. you do ctrl+F for the word “cock” and there are 37 instances of it in the doc but you hate the 1-2 acceptable synonyms so there’s nothing much you can do about it
Exchange “damn, I didn’t do that thing I wanted to do for two whole weeks, I’m such a failure I might as well give up” with “now that I’m finally feeling better, I’ll return to working on that habit again” and you’ll get a whole lot further in life!
AROMANTICISM AND ASEXUALITY ARE INHERENTLY QUEER AND DO NOT NEED TO BE PAIRED UP WITH ANOTHER LGBTQ IDENTITY TO BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH AND YES THIS INCLUDES CISHET ASPECS
