i watched a romcom movie i hadn’t seen before this afternoon (book of love) and it reminded me how much i typically freaking hate the “oh no, we’ve had a misunderstanding and we’re breaking up!” beat in a romcom narrative -- i’m just so tired of it, it’s just so exhaustingly inevitable and they’re always being stupid, i hate it -- and then also how much i love literally every detail of how it’s done in ideal home
so i guess i don’t inherently hate that story beat, just how routine and dull it feels unless you’re really earning the right to do it

important to remember that many many countries, 120 countries, voted for a ceasefire and that the international community is not just the global north. the world stands with the palestinian people. those of us in countries who voted no to a ceasefire or abstained (and who actively send military aid to israel) must continue to pressure our representatives to end the genocide & occupation. that means protesting, calling, emailing, boycott, divestment, sanctions.
if you're in the us and you're looking for protests — look for your local jvp, samidoun, or psl chapter on instagram. they are usually organizing or co-sponsoring events.
as always with protests, remember to wear a mask for community & personal safety <3

tbh y'all get too caught up in the idea of like. whether someone is ""genuinely"" experiencing a certain -ism or -phobia aimed at them if they are not genuinely part of that group. as if it matters. as if a guy getting attacked for holding another man's hand has actually ever had sex with another man or if he actually is married to a woman like it literally does not make a difference. he is a victim of homophobia in actual reality in the actual world. stop being pedantic and drawing little circles around words and realize that people are getting fucked over regardless.
