Remember the first Flour Massacre? Well, CNN has finally dropped the official Israeli story to give you an investigation that basically repeats what Palestinians have been saying all along

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

there's something about cauterising a wound that fascinates me. it's not like stitches or plastering, where you hold the damaged parts together until they're strong enough to stand on their own again, or even amputation, where you sever the damage completely to allow the rest of the body to heal. instead you burn the wound shut, sacrificing a little flesh to the fire in order to save the rest. you feed the snake its own tail until it forms an unbroken circle. it's like a low-level type of pyromancy to me.

i am so desperately concerned with some people on this website.

I don’t know if it’s my phone that does it automatically, but this “translation” of the darter Wikipedia page calls ray-finned fish literally RAY-finned fish, as in the flat pancake-shaped cartilaginous fish, and also translates “-the members of which are commonly known as darters” as “-its members are commonly known as darts/woodpeckers”

One of my favorite little facts about history is that the Mexican peso was functionally the everyday unit of currency in China in the 19th and early 20th century. Silver was one of the few western commodities that Chinese merchants were willing to trade in at rates that made shipping it to China (an expensive, arduous process) profitable; this trade became so voluminous by the 19th century that large everyday transactions even far away from port cities were conducted in pesos, in large part because Mexico's large domestic silver supply and existing transpacific trade links meant that the currency was stable (a known quantity to merchants in a time and place where relatively pure silver coins were otherwise uncommon) and readily available for use in trade

The smell of cauterization is nice to me, not sure if you considered it.

YEAH it's always described as a "nauseating smell of burning flesh" but like... it's just barbecue innit
