weighted blanket isn’t enough today, I need to be compressed into a .zip file
people like to bring up things like "all your loved ones would die before you" as a concern re: immortality. But the real danger for me would be that i'd literally never get anything done again. I'd adopt the elvish lifestyle immediately. Not doing anything in a week that could be done in a century. Not getting anything done in a century that can be done in 10 centuries. Spending the next 100 years reading 1 book very slowly because i have infinite time and don't care.
"sounds like a tomorrow problem! :)" - me several centuries in a row.
I don't want my cellphone to have AI I want it to have 3 days of battery time. I don't want my computer to have AI preinstalled I want it to have seven usb ports and high ram at affordable price. I don't want my games to have AI built levels I want them to be so optimized I could run them on a nokia.

yeah, you definitely want to make a lighthearted remark
Haha, yea, I suppose you-
OH SHIT that is hilarious
i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.
there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.
a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.
please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), emergency unity fund, southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,
This too shall pass but like holy fuck
“Okay here’s the list of chores I want to get done today” I tell myself before having sudden full body fatigue from seemingly nothing
I love saying "This would fix me" about things that would turn me into a brainless slut
Palestinian girls and women are forced to use tents as pads. People boost. Donate if you can
LUCRETIA; LUCY LAWLESS
Lucy Lawless as Lucretia as seen in STARZ: SPARTACUS (2010 - 2013) Seasons — "Blood and Sand", "Gods of The Arena", and "Vengeance"
She is a Roman woman of moderate standing in Capua and lives with her husband, Quintus Lentulus Batiatus, in the villa above his ludus. Lucretia is a fairly conflicted person with great depths of love and deception, she can be just as malevolent as her husband, deceiving and twisting words to her (and often their) advantage. The wife of Batiatus is equally as cunning and shrewd; Lucretia sees every angle and wields power behind the scenes.
" When [..] love dies for Lucretia, and she starts to come back from justifiable post-traumatic stress disorder, she is going to have her revenge on everybody. So it's just a matter of staying alive until that golden moment. " — actress Lucy Lawless on playing "Lucretia", and her character.
it really hurts me to see so many gazans asking us for help, though that's through no fault of their own. they've been forced to use a social media site that they're probably not familiar with (because tumblr has kind of faded out of popular consciousness), to interact with us in a second language, to distinguish themselves from the scammers who are taking advantage of genocide, and to ask strangers for help. i don't think there are any cultures where it's easy to ask for help like this, but i'm intimately familiar with how humiliating it can be in arab culture. please be kind, gracious and helpful to the gazans in your inbox. this is a desperate time for them, and in addition to the physical danger inflicted by "israel", the prices of basic resources in gaza are extremely high due to scarcity, and those that manage to escape to egypt are financially exploited by landlords there and have an extremely difficult time finding work due to their unofficial status as refugees. these families will continue to need our help and i hope we can all continue to provide it to the best of our ability.
But how can I tell if they are real:
Any advice?
Yes! Use tumblr’s search feature to look up their URLs. If they’ve been vetted by Palestinians, there will be a post about it. The users el-shab-hussein and nabulsi made a vetted fundraisers spreadsheet that comes up in a lot of search results too, I’m on mobile and don’t have it on hand presently but it’s easy to find!
Palestinian men should not have to repeatedly hold up pictures of their family struggling through a genocide, for us to care about them. Fundraisers conducted by/for Palestinian men, should not have to repeatedly refer to their mothers, sisters, wives and children, to make us realize their humanity, their vulnerability. Enough. Isn't it enough after so many months? Hadn't it always been enough?
It makes me feel so fucking scummy when everytime I answer a fundraiser, I have to exclusively talk about their children, their wives or their elderly parents struggling. Do Palestinian men not struggle? Do they not get injured? Do they not suffer from chronic illnesses? Do they not get terrible rashes in summer? Do they not get dehydrated? Do they not get hungry? Do they not fall sick with hepatitis? Do they not despair? Are they not bombed? Are they not shot at? Do they not get rounded up like animals and stripped and blindfolded and tortured and assaulted? Are they not thrown in solitary confinement? Do they not have IOF dogs sicced on them? When will it be enough? What will be enough?
