apparently the game loaded the dialogue very slowly so i ended up in a scene with agnes tachyon staring at me menacingly and silently for about 30 seconds

[saturnalorbit]

always get pissed off when agnes tachyon is passionately talking about her research and the only options the game gives me as a trainer are all like "your research can't be as important as racing!" like yes the fuck it can be. stop judging her just because she's an uma that has a passion outside of racing what's wrong with you

in my neighborhood there's an empty plot of land walled off by a fence. philadelphia has a ton of these, they're a staple of certain, usually black neighborhoods but this one always makes my stomach tighten when i pass it. after it rains, a puddle of muddy water collects in a place where kids once played and old people met with their friends. graffiti lines the foundations of what once were homes, inadequate homes but still homes, generational homes, communal homes. two years ago those homes were there. the last holdouts hung graduation signs for their teens and defiantly fanned themselves on hard plastic lawn chairs despite the fence already partially being built and the demolition crew standing idly by. a group of activists built an encampment there to protest the demolition of the homes, local politicians supported the activists and the residents, and yet there would be no victory against the encroaching developers whose plans for affordable housing now feel like an empty promise for a lot that already seemed like an afterthought

when i think of those townhomes i can't help but think of palestinians. children playing in the rubble of their schools, no doubt projecting memories they'd made in those places as they play. i think a lot about teenagers in gaza. not young enough to be seen as total innocents by the west but too old and too experienced with destruction to childishly reject cynicism. there are kids in my city who live like that, but without bombs falling on them. they carry the weight of their families, their bodies a frenzy of anhedonia, resentment, and restlessness. in black philly and in gaza, our enemy is shared. white apathy and supremacy, overlooking our humanity as they seize whatever physical possessions we have whether that is our homes or our bodies.

nader @abdalsalam2000 is a teenager. like all teenagers living under coordinated destruction of their lives, he has had to take it upon himself to fundraise for his family. i've watched his campaign be taken down multiple times. i've seen him through family hunger, illness, displacement, and the destruction of their home. i wish for him what i wish for the kids who live near me: opportunity, hope, and a long life rich with all that makes life worth living. but first, he needs to eat. please give if you can.

ultimately the best way to prevent abuse is to organize society in such a way that everyone's needs are met wothout having to rely on a parent or employer or boyfriend or any one individual. obviously wont stop, like, manipulation or so on, but the ability to dangle basic needs over someone's head is one of the most powerful and consistant tools of abuse out there. if someone is able to just leave, and know that they will have access to food and shelter and clean water and education, that will enable so, so mamy victims of abuse to do just that.

the influencer asks, “$500 or dinner with Chihaya Anon?” everyone picks the $500. suddenly, a brave voice rings out. “I will pick dinner with Chihaya Anon!” all heads turn to see who this could possibly be.

it’s Chihaya Anon.
