i think one thing that gets missed in discussions of like. “okay depiction of abuse/problematic dynamics” where the person is on the side of “it's fine to depict problematic things as long as the victim is clearly traumatized/not enjoying it” is that a part of the way in which abuse functions is by changing what intuitively feels good or bad to a person, that is to say, why people stay in abusive relationships is bc your brain can be wired, as a result of sustained trauma, to only feel comfortable or at-home in such situations, and to not recognise that anything is wrong in the first place. that is how conditioning and grooming work, it's how people stay in awful situations for years... and how do you depict that? an abusive relationship is still a relationship, real victims have loved and continue to love those who perpetrate intimate violence against them. you can, from a distance, see and say that the love is wrong and should not exist. but when you're narrating a story from close quarters, you can't effectively differentiate without context, an author depicting as romantic a manifestly abusive relationship and a victim and perpetrator whose inherent sense of themselves, of right and wrong, of boundaries, and acceptable forms of intimacy, has been warped through abuse.

'Scholasticide' refers to the systemic obliteration of education. To deprive a people of education is to deprive a people of a future; it is to deprive a people of the chance to rebuild their society; it is to deprive a people the ability to express and assert themselves. Ultimately, depriving a people of education is to deprive a people's existence.

Source: All universities in Gaza have been destroyed. What does this mean for Palestinians?

With all universities in Gaza destroyed, students are turning online to continue their education. Yes, they are still studying even while surviving through a genocide. After all, education determines their future, and also the future of Palestine.

However, continuing their education online is difficult. With the frequent attacks, students often do not have reliable Internet, and electricity, the necessary equipment, or even the space for them to continue their online studies. And thus, Ihyaa (@ihyaasociety) is born. Ihyaa is a Gazan youth-led initiative that aims to provide a space with Internet, electricity and study equipment to help university students continue their education.

However, Ihyaa needs your help. Without enough funding, Ihyaa cannot electricity and Internet costs to help students access their online lessons, nor can they provide stationary and a place for students to study!

Help students in Gaza continue their education, and with that, you can help them rebuild Gaza's future! Please share and donate if you can.

Ihyaa is started by the vetter Mohammed Ayesh (who vets the fundraisers on this list). It has also been promoted by @/gaza-evacuation-funds (also see x, x, x), and promoted by nabulsi

You can enter my necklace raffle (2.0) if you donate to Ihyaa (deadline: 15 July!)

iris by goo goo dolls really is insane though. I'd give up forever to touch you? you're the closest to heaven I'll ever be? all I can breathe is your life? and I don't want the world to see me cause I don't think they'd understand? when everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am? does anyone hear me.

Episode 33 of The Untamed starts with Wei Wuxian driven to suicide by the consequences of his own decisions and also circumstances beyond his control, and ends with him mugging for the camera as he runs like a cartoon character away from the cutest dog I’ve ever seen. Truly the pacing of all time.
