tumblr friendships are hard to maintain like im sorry i know i havent talked to you in 5 months but you’re still super rad and i still consider us friends im just dumb
I’M SO SORRY I DIDN’T POST ANYTHING FOR HALLOWEEN OR DÍA DE MUERTOS, I WAS REAL BUSY THIS WEEK!!! have these VS Impostor doodles i made yesterday and today :3
This is from when Springfield discovered it never lifted prohibition and tried to re-enforce it, so Homer concocted a scheme where he fills fake bowling balls with his own booze and then Moe collects them from behind the scenes at the bowling alley. When Marge found out, she was really just impressed he came up with something so smart and took his side over the cops.
This is Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s lesser-known 1988 painting work ‘Forbidden Colors.’
And here is part of the statement he released to accompany its first outing at the New Museum that same year:
“It is a fact people are discriminated against for being HIV positive. It is a fact the majority of the Nazi industrialists retained their wealth after war. It is a fact the night belongs to Michelob and Coke is real. It is a fact the color of your skin matters. It is a fact Crazy Eddie’s prices are insane. It is a fact that four colors red, black, green and white placed next to each other in any form are strictly forbidden by the Israeli army in the occupied Palestinian territories. This color combination can cause an arrest, a beating, a curfew, a shooting, or a news photograph. Yet it is a fact that these forbidden colors, presented as a solitary act of consciousness here in SoHo, will not precipitate a similar reaction.
From the first moment of encounter, the four colour canvases in this room will “speak” to everyone. Some will define them as an exercise in color theory, or some sort of abstraction. Some as four boring rectangular canvases hanging on the wall. Now that you’ve read this text, I hope for a different message.

[ID: An AO3 author’s note reading, “Sorry for vanishing, I did a little too much research on cults an coercive control for Damian’s arc, and then realized I was raised in a cult, and THEN I ran away to a fishing town cabin on the other side of the country and had to start learning to be a person in the real world. I also forgot how to write. But I’m learning again, so I’m back now! Have some more.” The “I” in “I was raised in a cult” is emphasized by sparking emojis, and the note is ended with heart emojis. /end ID]
Aaaand THIS is one of the many reasons why it’s not only not a bad thing to portray dark subject matter, but EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to do so!! You can learn a lot when writing, and others can learn a lot when reading! This can save lives, dudes.
I am so proud of the author though. That took multiple kinds of courage at once. Good job, author.
Hi! I’m the original author from ao3!
I want to thank everyone for such hilarious and kind additions/replies/tags on this post, they’ve been so amazing to read. They’ve meant more to me than you guys know. ❤️
I also want to add some information for anyone who wants to know more about recognizing the signs that you might be in a high control group.
High control groups can be small or large, religious or not, clubs, schools, online servers, friend groups, etc.
No human is invulnerable because we all have brains and emotions that can be played like a fiddle. Knowing the red flags can help us all keep ourselves safer!
Crisis Text Line (highly recommend, especially if you’re not in a safe place to discuss things on the phone)
Please always protect yourself as best you can and never be afraid to reach out for help—even if you’re just wondering, even if you’re not sure about something.
No safe group or person will EVER be mad at you for being cautious and taking things slow, or for changing your mind at ANY point. You’re the one who gets to decide whether you join or stay with a group, no matter what they threaten or love-bomb you with.
If you’re not safe, there’s help.
If you feel trapped, there’s help.
If people are being actively hurt, good people want to listen, understand, and help.
We all deserve freedom. I’m grateful every morning I wake up that I get to live it now, even though it’s hard and I have a long way to go. Thank you for walking this journey with me, for one brief moment or for years, and helping me—and others like me—not be alone.
Take care, stay safe, and happy fanfiction reading!
““The Great Pacific Garbage Patch can now be cleaned,” announced Dutch
entrepreneur Boyan Slat, the wonderkid inventor who’s spent a decade
inventing systems for waterborne litter collection.
Recent tests on his Ocean Cleanup rig called System 002, invented to
tackle the 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic pollution, were a success,
leading Slat to predict that most of the oceanic garbage patches could
be removed by 2040.
Intersections of ocean currents have created the massive floating
islands of plastic trash—five slow-moving whirlpools that pull litter
from thousands of miles away into a single radius.
The largest one sits between California and Hawaii, and
27-year-old Slat has been designing and testing his systems out there,
launching from San Francisco since 2013.
GNN has reported on his original design for the floating device,
but his engineering team improved upon it. System 002, nicknamed
“Jenny,” successfully netted 9,000 kilograms, or around 20,000 pounds in
its first trial.
It’s carbon-neutral, able to capture microplastics as small as 1
millimeter in diameter, and was designed to pose absolutely no threat to
wildlife thanks to its wide capture area, slow motion, alerts, and
camera monitors that allow operators to spy any overly-curious marine
life…
Slat estimates
ten Jennies could clean half the garbage patch in five years, and if 10
Jennies were deployed to the five major ocean gyres, then 90% of all
floating plastic could be removed by 2040.” -via Good News Network, 10/19/21
RECONNECT PALESTINIANS IN GAZA TO EACH OTHER AND TO THE WORLD: you can buy an eSim card on Simly (look up Palestine in their search bar on the app) and then send it to gazaesims @ gmail dot com. mina el helbawi is coordinating a team of volunteers on the ground to reconnect all people in Gaza so that they can communicate with each other
screenshots courtesy of @mariadogahe on ig (her story also has a video that shows how to buy the eSim card)
This post is for the anon who sent me that video asking me to debunk it’s claims so they can be better equipped against accusations of antisemitism.
Sorry, I won’t post the video since I refuse to have that man on my blog but I can give you common Zionist talking points and the illogicality behind it.
To preface: most of the questions Zionists will ask you are a trap, and will make you fall into a “rabbit hole” (as I was once told when I was younger), as we try to apply their reasoning. My advice is to ALWAYS center the humanity of Palestinians. For example, when a Zionist says:
“Don’t Jews deserve a homeland to be safe?”
It fundamentally ignores the core issue: Palestinians are being raped, murdered, and expelled from their homes so that the establishment of this so called “homeland” may exist. When people ask this to you, I personally advise saying something like:
Why must Palestinians suffer for the establishment of this homeland?
Always recenter to the issue at hand—the inhumane removal and treatment of Palestinians.
“Palestine belongs to the Jews and Not Muslims”
The whole premise of this claim is flawed—there is a weird tendency to equate Arab/Palestinian=Muslim when it just is like. Completely untrue. There are Palestinian Christians, Bethlehem is famously a Christian city, who have been there for centuries. There are Palestinian Jews, who have been there for centuries. There are Palestinian Muslims, who have been there for centuries. My grandpa told me stories of how he would turn on lamps for his Jewish neighbors in Al-Khalil (or Hebron) during Shabbat.
To claim that Palestine is EITHER Islamic or Jewish doesn’t make any sense and completely neglects the fact that dissemination of culture has occurred for centuries, as well as the intermingling of people throughout generations. To somehow assert that for some reason, Jews and Muslims did not have ANYTHING to do with each other—did not create together, did not build families together, did not build culture together, all while being PALESTINIAN—is incredibly racist and nonsensical. “Palestinian” is not a religious identity—it’s a cultural and ethnic one.
Also, it does not negate the core issue—Palestinians are being killed, removed, and tortured so that others can live on that land.
“Well what about [something about partitioning land]?”
Honestly like, who cares about the partitioning throughout the 1900 and early 2000s. Sorry, I’m not going to list the whole “partitioning” history nonsense. The whole reason “Israel” exists is because of a Mass Exodus, murder, and rape of Palestinians. Everything after that is rendered obsolete.
“Well, I heard Palestinians allied with Hitler”
I don’t know how to tell you this but Palestine was under British Control. No they didn’t.
“Israel withdrew from the Gaza and left them to themselves and they put Hammas in charge”
Oh yeah, Israel totally left Gaza, that’s why Gazans’ water, electricity, internet, and food is completely controlled by Israel (this is sarcasm, Israel still controls basic life in Gaza).
Go back to centering the idea that no human deserves to be shoved into an open-air prison, starved, and controlled. Did you know that the Zionist Entity controls the amount of water Gazans receive, as well as counting their calories to ensure they don’t have enough energy on a day to day basis?
“I heard Israel asked Arabs to stay”
Show them these papers and videos when they say this:
If you can’t show them these videos, check in the next point what to say.
“Well the Palestinians left of their own will in 1948”
Palestinians in 1948 didn’t “leave.” They had heard of how the Zionist Entity was slaughtering Palestinians en masse. Women especially heard stories of rape and sexual violence. They fled from *violence*. Again, from an earlier post, that this was a calculated effort on the Zionist Entity’s part to try and get them to “leave” on their own and “abandon” their houses so that they can come in and say “hey, they left on their own so, we can come in and take their houses now.”
Anyways, the idea that once you leave your house you can’t ever come back to it is incredibly odd to me as an argument on Zionists’ part. Like if you leave your house right now to go to the grocery store and you come back and see someone in your house and they’re like “sorry dude, this is my house now, you left so that means you can’t come back,” you’d be like, “what the hell!” It would be even weirder if everyone agreed with the guy who took your house, which is what happened to Palestinians.
In Al-Khalil, or Hebron, Palestinians always have to have someone stay in their house or else a Settler will come in and take it from them. So it still goes on today as well.
This is not a point, but when that one person in the video said “Arabs lived under Israeli rule” and showed a clip of a bustling city with mountains, I’m pretty sure that was Amman, Jordan, not Palestine lol. Those buildings in the mountains look like how downtown Amman builds the residential areas. Could be wrong tho.
“There are no Jews living under Palestinian rule in Palestine”
What is this, some sort of gotcha argument? What are they trying to prove, the racist (obviously false) notion that Palestinians hate Jews as a whole? How do they know no Palestinian Jew lives in Gaza? Also, Settlers in Palestinian Territory exist??? I had never heard this claim before, its incredibly stupid lol. You’re automatically a citizen of “Israel” if you’re Jewish, whether or not you live in or outside of Palestinian Territories. So of course technically they don’t live under Palestinian rule, they’re granted full rights as an “Israeli” citizen automatically!
Go back to talking about the inhumane treatment of Palestinians, I wouldn’t bring up the above counterpoint unless they really won’t let it go since the main point is mistreatment.
“Why are Christians supporting Israel then, if it’s a secular issue rather than a religious one?”
Well actually for a couple reasons:
Oil interests and regional control of goods (White People Supporting White People).
Weird fundamentalist ideology where they want to enact the second coming of Christ.
And finally because they are racist and don’t think Arab Christians deserve to live. They literally bombed a 1500+ year church the other day. Why would (White) Christians cosign that.
Anyways, its a stupid argument again, because it forgets the core issue of Palestinians dying and being displaced.
In summary, always go back to the point of centering the Palestinians being displaced, tortured, and murdered, no matter the argument a Zionist gives you.
related to the bizarre “no jews in palestine” argument (🤪)—the Zionist Entity also literally does not allow Palestinians to convert to Judaism (and thus obtain “Israeli” citizenship)
The head of Israel’s religious Conversion Authority has said that applications by Palestinians to join the Jewish faith will be automatically dismissed on grounds of ethnicity.
Yeah no, I’m sure the country using tiktok thirst traps to legitimize it’s military has nothing nefarious to hide.
A casual reminder that while Israel is pumping out propaganda through tweets and tiktoks, they have simultaneously been killing journalists at an unprecedented rate. The IDF has killed over 25 (most likely an underestimate) Journalists since Oct 7th 2023 (Source).
Kinda fucked up and nasty how vampires drink blood, imo. Like. Pepsi costs a dollar seventy five
Hospital
Not me I’m paying a dollar seventy five. At the hospital

Because it’s only a dollar seventy five
Why in God’s name would a vampire drink pepsi
Why would anyone drink Pepsi?
Huh?
That’s why I’m not a fan of the sexy vampire trope.
1. It’s overused and supports the current status quote of typical vampire supremacy:worshiping rich folk.
2. Vampires prey upon humans and therefore symbolize capitalists preying on the working class.
3. Werewolves are much sexier imo.
am I having a stroke????
you might want to go to the hospital then
I hear the Pepsi is cheaper there

Alright that’s it, we’ve got the Shakespearan translation too, this post is complete now.
barring that palestinian queers have and will always exist and to deem an entire group of people as being inherently homophobic is a fucked line of thinking, i do not support palestine because i happen to agree with their politics or because i expect palestinians to lay their life for me. i support palestine because genocide is, and will always be wrong, because i do not need a reciprocation for me to fucking loathe oppression and colonialism, and it scares me that many of you do not truly believe in liberation of the oppressed.
