My kid Kinan trying to stop me from going out because there’s bombing | Gaza [@/ MuhammadSmiry on X. 01/08/24.]
This baby is still learning to talk but he says “قصف”= “bombing” loud and clear. He lost his childhood before it even started. [@/ RudaynaIbrahim on X.]
The IOF continues to steal the childhoods of countless Palestinian children. I’ve seen so many videos of very blatant symptoms of PTSD -seeing emotional and psychological responses to triggers from sudden sounds and movements. You can see stress and anxiousness and fear in their eyes -even when we see videos of them smiling/being hugged and comforted by journalists, doctors, and neighbors/relatives in their communities -they have been robbed -so many of them for decades now and continuously of just being able to be children -to be free from violence and oppression.
I have also seen videos of their entire lives being changed instantaneously with a debilitating injury or amputation due to their communities/hospitals/homes being air-striked, to losing their entire families and being orphaned. I’ve seen videos of them lifeless in their parents arms -something no parent SHOULD EVER have to record and share to get the world to fucking pay attention.
These are ‘experiences,’ and circumstances NO child should EVER have to face in their life. I’d say where the hell has UNICEF been -because aren’t you supposed to be protecting children’s rights ALL around the world? Are Palestinian children not worthy of protection? Over 10,000 of them have been MURDERED by the IOF.
Children shouldn’t have to be worried about hearing BOMBS -they should be talking about their school lives, their friends, how excited they are to go to the beach, to try new foods at a restaurant they want to go to, to travel -to do so many wonderful things but THIS is what they have to live with right now even with glimpses of light and hope…
I will say this time and again -the United Nations is disgraceful.
Creating great and terrible monsters I always run into the problem of them having big vulnerable eyes as a weak point.
Past a certain size threshold the monsters will display a glowing weak point, commonly an eye or a red fleshy growth. My success in inhibiting this trait is limited
Watching a tumblr post I’ve seen on actual tumblr appear in a YouTube compilation or on some other app always feels like how I imagine wild life photographers must feel when they see an animal in the zoo they’ve photographed in the wild.
Can y’all stop reblogging this! I can see where this is headed and i don’t want to be in a zoo!
Don’t you do this to me. the zoo won’t have enough enrichment for me.
Notes are calming down, and I’m yet to appear anywhere (to my knowledge) the wildlife containment people have missed me! Haha! I’m freeeeeee!!!!
You monster! You’ll bring them right to me!
No one escapes the zoo. Face your destiny.
I refuse! I will not be gawked at by YouTube tourists! I shall remain here, in my natural habitat, with plenty of enrichment!

Blackout poetry is wonderful because it can often transform something penis neutral and relatively innocent balls into something rather crass and butt and I don’t know there’s something that just appeals to me about that and furthermore boobs vagina
it’s always “oh i want a sweet ambling boytoy with the clueless and trusting nature of a baby goat” until they try to pass you the blunt and then it’s “what the fuck why would you eat that?” “you just ate it right out of my hand?” “the cherry was still hot how did you think that was food?”
ngl every time i see stuff about like, drugs affecting cognitive development of kids and teens, i think about the fact that it’s normal for kids and teens to have caffeine, even tho caffeine also affects cognitive development. i think about the fact that teens are expected to get up extremely early in the morning to get ready for school, and go to bed real late because they only get free time late at night. i think about the fact that society already puts kids and teens through so many things that destroy their physical and mental health, and yet there’s no serious effort to change the world to be a kinder place to them
Remember that whole strike thing? What the fuck was that for again?
There’s no going back once you open that gate. This is fucking depressing.
This IS good though? This is regulation, which is exactly what EVERYONE anti-ai has been fighting for.
Before, studios could do basically whatever they wanted with AI because it was unregulated. That was the problem. Now, they can use it (which I understand why people don’t like), BUT it has to be an agreed to contract by the voice actor contributing their voice to it.
Before, studios could do shit like record the lines for the game, and then use AI training on an actors voice to have them provide more voice acting without any compensation, in perpetuity. Which was fucking awful and the entire reason this was being fought against.
Now, however, the studios can only do it with the actors permission and only in limited capacities within scope of the contract, putting the power in the actors hands. Stuff like “Hey we changed this one line. Do you want to come in and do another take for 1 line, or do you want us to just fake it with AI?” While people might not agree with the second choice, it is now just that, a CHOICE. A choice the ACTOR can make. THAT IS IN FACT A GOOD THING.
Treating this like the strikes were pointless and absolutely no ground was won is an INCREDIBLY bad faith reading of it.
There’s currently an outpouring of voice actors on twitter at the moment saying they don’t know anyone who was consulted by the union on this decision. They feel like they’ve been fucked over.
AI VA will make games worse. People in the industry are losing their jobs left, right and centre because of it. A few people benefiting from having the choice doesn’t mean shit when loads of people never get their chance because a studio prefers using AI instead.
This isn’t a win by any stretch of the imagination. It boosts the acceptability of AI in games under the guise of VA’s having freedom, and it makes the medium worse.
hey tumblr go eat shit you gormless little sex hating bitch
A big part of the reason I am terrified by anti-adult-content censorship is that for a lot of people, queer people are inherently adult just by existing. Erasing adult content then erases queer people significantly. We’re seeing it not just on the internet, but libraries, too. It’s overwhelmingly queer stuff getting flagged. They’re trying to erase us completely.
yes. we are more than victims of genocide. we are people with culture and joy and history and life and resistance and love and resilience . we will not let all of that be overlooked. talk about our pain and the injustice that we face, but don’t forget our joy too. although these instances of pain and suffering are true and ongoing, you need to recognize that by only listening to stories of our suffering, you narrow the complexities of the full Palestinian person and experience .
a good sign for my ego is that lately when i’ve been having periods of feeling down/perceiving my situation as worse-than-reality i have been very seriously immediately responding to them in my brain with “damn. have i lost the mandate of heaven?”
I love trains with all my heart and I think that we all should love them just as much. And the way we get that is by massively expanding the US’s rail system
middle class america is forever in fear of the seal team 6 of rapist drug dealers murderers breaking into their house to get them specifically. what makes you so special?

Obsessed with them showing all of their security measures that could never be used against them ever at all
I think the Evil Media Bias Against Platonic Relationships is one of those things tumblr loves to get worked up about despite, like. simply not being real.
“men in media are never allowed to have their closest, most meaningful relationship be a platonic friendship with another man!” I’m sorry but I am not convinced that you’ve ever consumed media
“okay maybe buddy comedies exist or whatever, but this is a problem in fandom spaces–” It’s not a “problem” that gay people on the internet like to draw gay kissing. Hope this helps <3
me, shaking the people in the notes by the shoulders: Fandom is an extremely niche subculture. Gay shipping is a niche of that niche. 99% of the population does not engage with it. You do not have to walk into the Gay Romance And Erotica Club and complain about the gay romance and erotica
the people in the notes: I’m being forced at gunpoint actually
I’m not going to include graphic descriptions here, but be warned that they’re in this article. I’m just posting this here as a reference.
Remember: if you cannot condemn violence against women that’s inconvenient for you, you are no better than right-wingers who vehemently defend rapist politicians like Donald Trump. All sexual violence is wrong. No one has to listen to you if you deny or defend rape.
It’s always important to search article keywords to make sure you’re not getting a one sided perspective!
you know what i never understood? that worn out sneakers trend where you buy new shoes (often expensive and designer) that look like they’ve been worn for years
that have fake dirt and fake damage on them
why pay a lot of money for shoes that look like my converse that i have been wearing since 7th grade that are still wearable so i don’t feel like throwing them out but have clearly suffered through wear and tear and time???
To you, he has the (well, a) gender and sex and presentation that you don’t.
You’re a man? she’s a woman. You’re a woman? he’s a man. You’re non-binary? So are they, but in a different way. Whatever you’ve got in your pants, he/she/they don’t.
You met her a few years ago, and she seemed nice. But now you meet him and say “oh, you transitioned… I didn’t know you were trans!” He smiles and says “I’m not. But you are, so…”
when he/she/they have a threesome with two people of different genital configurations (regardless of gender), it’s real weird to see. One of you can see a vagina, the other sees a penis.
if you ask him what pronouns he himself prefers, he says the ones you don’t use.
But you’re pretty sure that’s not the gender-perception magic, he’s just playing along and being coy. you can tell from his smile
He’s got a twin sister, who looks a lot like him, but she’s got the same gender/sex/presentation as you.
Annoyingly, when asked about his pronouns, she says she can never keep those straight, but any pronouns are fine for her.
So, if the original person is the opposite, or at least different gender than the person perceiving them, and the “twin” is the same gender as the person perceiving them, what genders are they when they perceive each other?
the same gender twin says “they’re the same as me” and the opposite gender twin says “they’re a different gender to me” and can’t be nailed down to specifics.
What they actually see, if anything, is between them and God.
People seem to forget homeless people have more needs than food especially to get out of that situation and there tend to be way more resources to get free food than to get things like menstrual products or clothing or hygiene items you have no idea what a homeless person needs money for or how much they have or if they’re saving. And yes, once again, they might NEED drugs. Alcohol withdrawal can literally kill you. You can’t give someone money or assistance with strings attached and pretend you’re doing it for anybody except yourself. That’s to make you feel better, not help them
So Ive been thinking about it and what I want more then anything for my birthday (which is pretty soon) is a comfortable place to sit in and a portable desk so I can properly work at home (as hard as Ive tried I really cant work on my laptop in bed without putting myself in pain). Ultimately what I’m asking for is the money to get a sofa and a portable desk which would be around $250 $200. If you like @rickybabyboy or y232.live or anything else that Im part of (or just want to help a disabled trans woman) please consider helping me out, ty for reading regardless!
Edit: realized I dont really need the desk I can just use my plastic dresser
Edit 2: on second look i think a sofa is more expensive then i thought
$60/$400 raised
Oh well this needs to go on hold, the appointment to get my mental health medication is tomorrow and its going to be about ~$370 more than expected, I dont need to have all the money for it then but Im afraid if I dont raise at least half they might not allow me to do a payment plan, can I please please get some more help?
