i think i just had a regular human experience

like it has to be the amulet

when e.e. cummings said “i’ll live my life if it kills me”

when andrea gibson said “i suppose i love this life, in spite of my clenched fist.” & when ellen bass said “to love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it”

when james baldwin said, “this is why one must say yes to life and embrace it wherever it is found-and it is found in terrible places; nevertheless, there it is;”

when Mary Oliver said “it is a serious thing / just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world”

Fever is a hilarious immune response. Our bodies tell the disease “hey, wanna see which one of us dies of overheating first? No? Too bad.” and honestly they’re not even the winners a decent chunk of the time but it works often enough that we never evolved it away or anything. Fantastic work.

this reply is killing me

take everything i say with a hint of lime

We got one very hilarious win

Help my family survive 🇵🇸🙏

Please read this 🚨👇🏻

Hello, I am Amal from Gaza. I am 28 years old. I am married to Abdel Nasser, and I have a daughter named (Rolan) and a son named (Omar). We live in difficult circumstances. Our lives have changed for the worse. The occupation destroyed everything. My husband and I lost our jobs and our home, and I lost my father due to the delay in receiving treatment and the lack of medicines, as the war has been going on for a year. I now live in a tent with my husband, children, mother, and younger siblings, and I take care of them because my mother is sick and needs treatment and special attention, and I do not want to lose her like my father.

My children grew up in war. They grew up under fear, terrorism, bombing, destruction and food shortages. I hope everyone will look at us with mercy and help us get out of here as quickly as possible so we can live a better life than this nightmare. My children and brothers can live a beautiful life like the rest of the children in the world, and they can be educated. Please help us escape from Gaza.

Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.

This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.

All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.

(I bring to mind this @tkingfisher / Ursula Verson quote about once a week <3)

If you have the time and flexibility, you can also try out libreoffice.

Just did this on November 14th, 2024, so this is very current!

Holy fucking shit of all the possibilities I did not see that one coming.

People are like “it’s so beautiful no clouds at all” it could use a little clouds if I had to be honest.

it literally could use a little clouds if i had to be honest

This is the level of hyperanalystic bullshit I live for

not so fast, in the review of gusteau’s anton ego compares gusteau to chef boyardee or hector boiardi with a tone implying that boyardee is dead and in history

given that gusteau died shortly after this and the will takes 2 years after death

assuming that ego’s review was the same year that boiardi died then the absolute EARLIEST the movie can take place is 1987

and about the incredibles, when looking for the scene with the newspaper i stumbled across this

a headline from 2002, and given that lawsuits generally take a while and september to december is really quick for the banning of supers so let’s say they were banned in mid 2003, at the EARLIEST incredibles can take place in 2018, with ratatouille taking place sometime in between 2003 and 2018

assuming that was a mistake, thunderhead died november 15 1958, a date where superheroes would’ve been illegal if incredibles 1 took place in 1962

and adding onto the impossibility of the date being 1962 his death is included in the shutdown reports of the national supers agency

so the year in which the movies take place is impossible to find because the staff of the incredibles couldn’t chose a date and commit to it

I take it back

This is the level of hyperanalystic bullshit I live for

IS NO ONE GONNA MENTION THAT THUNDERHEAD IS GAY?!?!

OMG OMG OMG

I am Massa and my name means jewel. I am from the completely destroyed city of Gaza. I was displaced with my family to Deir al-Balah in the central region....

My family, consisting of many children, young people and the elderly, live in tents in a very miserable situation with a lack of all the necessities of human life....

The elderly in my family need medication on a regular basis, which is not available, and if available, it is very expensive....

We have been living in tents for more than a year, winter is coming, the tent is worn out, and we are sleeping in the cold and frost...

We are in a very miserable situation. Diseases and epidemics have spread among us...

We are in dire need of donations to get out of this miserable situation and buy food, medicine, winter clothes and prepare the tent for winter...

We would not have asked for donations if it were not for the dire need. We were safe in our homes before the genocide...

Note : Children need psychological support due to extreme fear

In the name of humanity, support my family.

SUPPORT MASSA FAMILY
