NEW ACTIVITY NOTICE ! on top of what’s mentioned in my pinned comment, i will no longer be 24/7 available or responsive. i used to lurk & comment on everything so even when i’m not writing i’m interacting - but now i’m going to be taking multiple days of just staying logged out ( incl. logged out of discord! ) in between one day of being online. or smth like that. it’s that ✨mental health management✨ babeyyy. convoluted explanation but i wanted to explain the change for ppl who might notice & misinterpret it.
& also vent a lil :joy:
i’m not less interested. i just literally could not sleep any more. logging out everywhere instantly solved that problem lmfao. i’ve spent the last 3 days working on my original novel & just, chilling & shit... the fear draining from me. #nice. but then also this is what i love to do & what lets me be creative & explore & learn new shit, & despite having social phobia i am still a social creature. so. a new routine! i won’t let it steal joy from me :muscle:
social phobia does affect irl life ofc jfdjdf it’s wild. real life reminds me i don’t need to be scared of tumblr, & tumblr reminds me i don’t need to be scared of real life :joy: that works. guess that means i’ll do both uwu oh it’s just what the doctor ordered.
anyway! #rambling. rattles my cage HI it’s nice to see u again 3 days of isolation can be a lot LMAO ❤
not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

The thing I keep coming back to, with all the *gestures expansively* is that real life doesn't have peaceful epilogues.
Every single win has to be defended. Forever. I'm sorry. It sucks. The Nazis lost until they stopped losing. The US had abortion rights, and then 50 years later it didn't. Empires fall, and then they invade other countries again. Oppressive regimes are overthrown and replaced with other oppressive regimes. You will never finish the work etc etc etc. Which is why it's so fucking important to be able to acknowledge and celebrate progress, when it happens. The people who came before you didn't put in all that work for nothing, and you aren't, either. You can't save it all for the Ultimate Victory because there is never going to be an Ultimate Victory. There's no such thing as a time when everything is good, and ours shall not be the commune of Heaven.
percy being told that you burn what you'll miss the most and immediately burning his blue jelly beans to talk to his mom. i don't think anyone understands how much of a big deal this is to me
an ex-zionist jewish man recently went a bit viral on tiktok for sharing exactly how he sees zionism tie israel to the jewish identity and his personal experience with breaking away from it - I think it’s a really great watch.
He also made a follow up talking specifically about how he learned to humanise Palestinians, and a really integral part of it was his school, which would often bring in Palestinian speakers who’d share their perspective (here’s a link to it).
