I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

Saw someone say the aesthetic and color grading of early seasons SPN was horrible. Never speak on early seasons SPN and her bad bitch aesthetic ever again.

there's nothing that aggravates me more than performativre activism. than people who act like outrage about celebrities and pop culture is some type of praxis.

so many tweets and tiktoks about the "blackout" campaign to block celebrities who haven't talked about Gaza have hundreds of thousands of views and yet zero impact, because it's all performative shit designed only to gratify the people engaging in it. and the most annoying part to me personally as a Palestinian, is that they do these stunts under the excuse that "if these people posted there would be many more donations!!" yeah well, if you used your outreach and large followings to spread fundraisers yourself, that would've also increased donations. moreover, i think anyone who solely donates to important causes when a celebrity tells them to is stupid and has no independent thought or an actual moral compass but i digress.

on top of all that, watching the internet turn starbucks and mcdonald's into the poster children of the boycott movement has been so frustrating. sbucks is not even on any BDS list, and mcdonalds is on the "organic boycott" list but has never been an essential consumer target. the BDS committee is composed of lawyers, activists, humanitarians, economists - people who know what they're doing. all you had to do was listen and follow the very simple guides they provided.

so much more benefit would come from focusing on the consumer targets like HP, siemens, AXA, sabra, etc. but noooo, y'all had to go perform Online Praxis and bully and threaten the hell out of anyone seen with a starbucks cup, therefore forever turning them away from any pro-Palestine action in the future. sbucks doesn't even have shops in occupied Palestine. meanwhile, companies like siemens and HP design the surveillance systems used at every checkpoint in the country.

would it kill you to listen to us? to actually amplify Palestinian voices instead of this reactionary liberal bullshit?

These are the actual colours I painted with, but I played around a bit with gradient maps to get a few variations... I like them all, and cannot really decide which I prefer. Ref is from this.

Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.
