this i feel is the best time to reblog than any. my best friend in the whole entire world is kashmiri.

he is okay, for now, thankfully. just messaged me/our groupchat a few seconds ago.

i really don't want to worry, i want to stay calm. but i can't. instead im fueling that worry into action. read this post. reblog it. share it. no time like the present

A note: The list of readings is not exhaustive. It is only an introduction to the history of the occupation. I know annoying "Desis" are going to see this and bitch and moan about how Kashmir is actually integral to their country out of a sense of colonial entitlement. Kashmir belongs to Kashmiris, the natives, no matter what religion they belong to. Neither Pakistan nor India get to decide the matter of Kashmiri sovereignty. The reasons given by both parties as to why Kashmir should be a part of either nation are bullshit. The United Nations itself recognises Kashmir as a disputed region, so I will entertain neither dumbfuckery nor whataboutism. I highly encourage fellow Indians especially to take the time to go through and properly understand the violence the state enacts on Kashmiris. I've also included links to learn more about Kashmiri culture because really, what do the rest of us know about it? Culturally & linguistically Kashmir differs so much from the rest of India and Pakistan (also the way Kashmiri women are fetishised... yikes). It's not just a bilateral issue between the two nations over land, it actually affects the people of Kashmir

big ol update thingamajiangle

so first of all big news im doing pretty well and im mostly studying/going to art school and having fun which is keeping me nice and busy

second of all - ive completely lost interest in any gacha game for now. you would have to pay me actual money to play any hoyogame title. i still love stupid little guy my beloved sampo but even if they make him into a 5star i don't think i could force myself to go through... all of that again. plus i probably wont have time for that now. i got into these games when i was taking my gap year, and Wow they require a lot of time and investment. bonus round! infinity nikki and wuthering waves are on thin ice, i play them very rarely.

thirdly, ive been doing fine with my dormant/forever fixations for a few months and now... and finally. fourthly. bigger news. and a warning. dont look up trending tags on tumblr when you know the media vaguely because it Can evolve into a hyperfixation within an hour. and dear god did that happen.

soooooo....

i am into team fortress 2 now.

expect art because MY god do i have ideas. my god do i have ideas. i dont know when exactly because. gestures at school. im trying to let go of being cringe and letting myself be free or something. posting this is the first step lol to that i feel

anyway. old friends who i haven't talked to in like half a year HELLO!!!! HIIII I LOVE YOU HOW ARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!! slide into my dms and give me an update!!!!

[rice-enjoyer]

edited my pinned. insecure freshly genderqueer rice ramblings is no more. i am older and wiser to be weird now.

going to bed goodnight :wave:

big ole update tomorrow

[rice-enjoyer]

[rice-enjoyer]

HI IM STILL RICE I JUST PUT MY BLOG THROUGH A TRANSFORMATION TO FIT MY CURRENT INTERESTS MORE THAN WHAT I HAD

kept the purple pfp though i think that will stay with me forever

[rice-enjoyer]

what i thought would happen on my second rewatch of better call saul: general hyperfixation time just as last time. im gonna release enough dopamine when i see my faves on screen that i explode.

what i got instead: crying SO hard at the tiniest things (i can never listen to certain songs the same way ever again AND oh my god the foreshadowing.... oh my god...) and blorbo brainrot so severe i only experienced in animated media. what? ONE favorite character? maybe two??? half the cast is my favorite character at all times

[rice-enjoyer]

got into the uni i actually wanted to get in and not just the guaranteed one!!!!!!!!! HUGE!

also my paintings were so sexy and good awesome that lead painter teacher offered to change my course from graphic artist to painter, "to not waste my painterly potential because i am very good with colors"

okay tldr i applied for one course and could have gotten two bc i am just so skilled at social situations B-) weaponized charisma fr

[rice-enjoyer]

The best way to keep the fash off your blog isn't having a dni banner or whatever you just have to bang pots and pans together every so often like "I love trans women and jewish people" and they scuttle away like roaches when you turn the lights on
