Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don’t see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It’s so beautiful, the moon. They’re so beautiful, the flowers.

a guy can pass out at the mere thought of getting blood drawn but feel inexplicable fondness and lust towards vampires. It can happen

part of me is sad that armand doesn’t have his beautiful brown doe eyes of the books in the amc show which is especially a shame since Assad zaman has literally the most perfect armand eyes of all time just inherently, but also the other part of me is very very excited by the all the color symbolism opportunities that come with Armand’s eyes literally being red (color that he uses heavily in TVA to represent agony and also to represent marius and sometimes to represent lust/love in the way agony and love cross for him) so like Armand’s vampiric eyes being red is almost like he is always seeing red, which is rlly grim and interesting in a lot of different ways. I’m intrigued as hell I love armand color symbolism more then everything

trees are very 🥺 because sometimes i’ll stand under the shade of a tree and look up at it and it’ll sway its branches about in the wind and i’m like oh my God i’m alive and YOU’RE alive. we are alive together and made up of the same starry stuff and standing right next to each other in this moment on this earth. do u feel it when i reach out and press my hand to your trunk? can you hear me? i think you’re so neat. and then the sunlight filters through its leaves just so and that lovely green color leaves me dazzled. it’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing

the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belonging, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.
