greta was time's person of the year a few years ago. she was adored by all liberal world leaders and parties. and when she learnt about people's struggle under occupation and colonialism, she stood in solidarity with them . she now stands with palestine and armenia and kashmir and every oppressed person in the world. she could have been rich as fuck by simply remaining as a climate activist. yet she chose to do the right thing. i love her for her integrity.

Total offense but many people dont respect October 7th as the true militant uprising it is and refuse to learn from it. Palestinians brought a military and technological superpower that is backed by the US imperial government to heel with a lot less manpower. It was obvious that it took years to plan. I blame this all on the humanitarian lens in which people have been looking through at Gaza. Direct action is one thing but militant action is another

when I was a kid I wished I had nosebleeds. I had some friends who had them and I was like. that looks so fucking cool. you're just sitting there and suddenly you're covered in blood. it looks so dramatic. it looks so... and here my language failed me. at such a humble age I did not have the vocabulary to describe the sublime. I just sat in incomprehensible jealousy. I turned out totally normal by the way

see now i am learning guitar i will become a famous guitar babe and surpass my father and be more famous than he was (is?) (which is to say not at all)

just kidding

but u never know maybe i will! kim gordon didnt pick up a bass until she was like 30 and my father well he always played guitar but he didnt make any serious effort to make a career out of it til i think he was literally 30 so if i wanted to i hav plenty of time

every time I mention how many days sober I am I appreciate people congratulating me and telling me to keep up the good work. it is nice. but I also wish that milestones in addiction recovery weren’t still so pinned to length of sobriety/abstinence

yeah yeah I’m 50 days sober who cares. how about the fact that, when I do drink, it tends to be nipped in the bud after two days nowadays instead of weeks or months? how about the fact that drinking has been condensed to a six pack because I’m at the end of my tether, instead of browning out every night? how about my friend who has decided to stop drinking alone, and is actually sticking to that? recovery doesn’t always look like sobriety and I wish it was more normal to talk about that. yknow. when addiction is normal to talk about at all

its like when i was in kindergarten this group of boys (goaded on by their fathers) had like a game of exposing my underwear every day and i tried to stop it by like they pulled up my dresses so i tried wearing pants so they pulled down my pants

so its fucked up that a 5 year old is trying to change the way she dresses to prevent sexual harassment. and also the lesson there is that it never made a difference
