semi-hiatus

i have mixed feelings abt the ICJ hearing, mostly angry that they did everything short of calling for ceasefire. but I am a little relieved people haven't taken this as a sign to take what we can get and stop calling for immediate action. ceasefire or no ceasefire, being familiar with the measures put in place by the ICJ can still make it difficult for Isr*el to downplay or get away with their genocide in the meantime

anyway

support for Palestine can't start and end with international law and ceasefire alone. It also means uplifting Palestinian voices, refusing complacency and ending the occupation entirely. from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free

need to be held for a whole week straight

showering:

pros: you get to feel clean. you get non greasy hair, non oily feeling skin, it just in general makes you feel better, more energised, refreshed.

cons: there are so many steps. oh my god are there so many steps. before getting into the shower there are steps. during the shower there are steps. and once youve gotten out of the shower? guess what!!! more fucking steps!!!!!!!! UGHHHH

awards shows are ridiculous and asinine and are everything wrong with the entertainment industry. that is unless my favorites win in which case awards shows are wonderful and objective and are arbiters of merit and justice in a world devoid of true talent recognition

I was thinking "oh but I can't be autistic, I'm so good at eye contact and small talk! I know all the right ratios for looking/not looking and asking/answering questions! I even know the best posture to communicate low-stakes friendliness (about 15 degrees from facing them. weight on one leg. 70% eye contact. still hands.) everybody says I'm great!" before realizing I may be refuting my own point

Yeah, my one-question autism screening is "how do you make eye contact". If you can comprehend the question, you're autistic.

"see, I have the eye contact nailed down, I have a system"

you see a movie

you write a fic

someone else writes an au fic of that fic

I don’t understand why people who cannot accept any moral grayness or complexity decide to join fandoms for the most emotionally complex stories and then try to shame everyone there who actually is able to understand the material.

People say “phase” like impermanence means insignificance. Show me a permanent state of the self.

holy shit this quote changed my life about four years ago. so crazy that this just resurfaced. i’m really happy.

cant stop thinking about this
