sometimes when i see y’all post ao3 tag submissions i get confused because i forget that’s what this blog’s originally for. so like i just scrolled through your blog because i was like “they never actually post stuff from ao3” but no, you do. i think i just only get All The Other Stuff on my dash. so every once in a while im like “why are the shitposters/f1 fans/delaware experts posting ao3 tags?” and then… i remember
israel can kill innocent Palestinians, they can bomb their homes, destroy their cities, tear apart their families, cut off their food and water, and dehumanize them all they want,
but theres somethings they cannot destroy:
they cannot destroy the solidarity that Palestinians and non-Palestinian activists have together
they cannot destroy the hope and determination we all have to fight and make this genocide end
they can NEVER destroy the compassion and love that our palestinian siblings have for eachother
i have seen hospitals being bombed, yet the doctors refuse to leave their patients to die
i have seen people being arrested and harassed online, yet activists refuse to be silent about this genocide
i have seen children, who are younger than me, fight for kids their age who cannot fight for themselves
i have seen millions of people, who are not from palestine, rally in support to end this genocide
and that is something beautiful we shall NEVER be silent until the people of palestine are able to live in peace without the fear of dying
btw, if you used the term “human shields” seriously when talking about palestinians and referred to “hamas stealing aid” then you manufactured consent.
just really want to drive home that any person who talked about either of these two “topics” as if they’re serious concerns are culpable in participating in this genocide. im not joking. you should feel incredibly guilty over this.
if you’re focusing on hamas “using human shields” rather than israel indiscriminately bombing civilian areas, then you’re part of the problem.
if you’re focusing on “Hamas stealing aid” rather than israel deliberately depriving Palestinians of food, water and other necessities, then you’re part of the problem.
if you’re focusing on hamas anything at this stage rather than the root cause of these problems facing Palestinians (israel, the occupation etc), then you’re part of the problem.
because nothing says caring about the livelihoods of Palestinians more than tacitly supporting the destruction of these livelihoods.
flashback to when MLK Jr said the worst group in the US for black rights wasn’t the lawmakers passing Jim Crow laws or the KKK but the white moderate. That it was the white moderate who was forcing the country to find a middle ground between civil rights and genocide which allowed the continued systematic mistreatment of the African American community

Fallout 4 companions when you use med-x to treat a shattered limb: I cant BELIEVE you. I TRUSTED you. Drugs will DESTROY your LIFE and honestly it hurts me, so much to see you throw it away like this. Do you realize how much you have to lose? Do you understand that people are COUNTING on you to be better, than abusing drugs like this. I’ll never look at you the same way again. This isnt the end of our friendship but I hope you realize how hard itll be to trust you again. Please promise me, no more betrayals. I cant go through that again. I know you dont want to hear it but Im saying this because I love you. We’ll get through this together.
New vegas companions when you huff 5 jet inhalers to use VATS on a bloatfly: oh goddamnit you fucking stoner do you know how bad that shit stinks. I can make moonshine out of battery acid.
I mean, don’t get me wrong: Netflix is just as shit as Disney, as corporations go; but there’s just something about Wish–seemingly so safe and soulless and focus-grouped with its generic, Rapunzel-faced, Disney Princess™ heroine and its paint-by-numbers plot and its Whedonesque, hang-a-lampshade-on-it humour, and its bland, inoffensive, Lin Manuel Miranda-pastiche musical numbers–losing a nomination to fucking Nimona, which is about as anarchic as mainstream entertainment media can be, featuring a protagonist who is about as far from being a Disney Princess as anyone can be, and which we all saw evolving organically in real time from someone’s sketch on Tumblr. One of them feels like extruded film product; the other one feels like art.
The irony of this being that the Nimona film was originally a Disney project, being originally produced by Blue Sky Studios until Disney shut it down in 2021. Like…Disney doesn’t know what’s *actually* good any more
Tangled kind of marked the point where Disney started acting self-aware of the whole Disney Princess™ trope and by the time Frozen hit, they were acting self-aware and embarrassed by it. At that point it’s like they started knee-capping themselves out of their own sense of cringe.
Their movies were already focus-group tested to hell and back and with being a corporation who mainly profits off of nostalgia for their older works, they’re increasingly unwilling to take any risks by exploring new directions in both storytelling and animation.
And being unwilling to take risks + succumbing to cringe leads to just rehashing the same shit over and over again while not standing behind it. It’s weak. It’s boring. How I am supposed enjoy a story if it acts embarrassed of its own self.
Yes, it is kind of ironic that Disney, a company whose entire corporate brand was originally built on earnestly presented children’s fantasy, is now associated with self-referential, immersion-breaking bathos and a refusal to take its own subject matter seriously.
*Gets there and every audience area is perfectly wheelchair accessible but the stage itself is either impossible to access or only possible to access from the outside*
It fucking sucked that all the other kids were able to jump up from their seats straight to the stage and one kid had to go all the way around through the wood shop.
It fucking sucked that (different building) I was calling kid’s parents to the stage and one of the kids’ dads had to sit in front of the stage. There’s a whole elevator for the small set of stairs outside the auditorium but no access to the stage at all.
I’m not a wheelchair user so wheelchair users can tell me if I’m way off base but sometimes it seems like when people make a space accessible they’re thinking “how can we get gramma inside to have a seat” and not “how can an otherwise healthy young person who happens to use a wheelchair get themselves inside and use this building for all of its normal functions.”
[ID: A video clip showing a Black person in a green coat interviewing an elderly white person holding up a flag, with more protesters in the background displaying Palestinian flags.
The interviewer asks, “Why is it important for you to be here today?”
The protester responds, “Well, uh, I’m Jewish, I’m Israeli, my parents were the only survivors of their families from the Holocaust. They both survived Auschwitz. I’m not going to support genocide am I?
"I’m here with the Palestinians, and we are here with Palestine, because we don’t believe that what the British government is doing is correct. The British government is supporting this genocide! It’s arming Israel, it’s financing Israel.
"BBC and the other media here is supporting genocide. This is illegal. This is immoral. We don’t agree with it, we will never agree with it, and as Jews – and myself as Israeli – I am totally against it, and we will continue to be against it.
There are now more than 60 such events in the whole of Britain, uh, people don’t want to support this. They are against this government on so many other issues, but especially on this one.”
Another elderly white protester next to the first joins in, leaning forward to add:
“And, also, this didn’t start on October the 7th. In 1948, Palestinian villages, hundreds of them –”
Another elderly protester interjects specifically, “500 of them”.
The second protestor nods and continues, “were demolished, thousands of Palestinians, innocent men, women, and children were slaughtered, and seven-hundred and fifty thousand Palestinian refugees were created. That’s when it started, and it hasn’t stopped since!”

It is impossible to achieve the goal of the war of eliminating Hamas by leaving four Hamas battalions in Rafah.
On the contrary, it is clear that intense activity in Rafah requires that civilians evacuate the areas of combat.
Therefore, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the IDF and the security establishment to submit to the Cabinet a combined plan for evacuating the population and destroying the battalions.
So just to recap, the area in question, Rafah, was meant to be the absolute last safe zone for Palestinians in Gaza where now over half of Gaza’s population has been forcibly displaced to.
We have been screaming that this is genocide and ethnic cleansing. At this point there doesn’t need to be any further evidence of it being both of these things.
There is literally nowhere else for these people to go to. They will either be pushed into the sea or be killed in the process.
What’s more is that not only does everyone know this, but Israel is aware that they know this. So what this announcement amounts to is their attempt to see if anyone cares enough to stop or at least challenge them.
The day after the US and UK launched deadly airstrikes across Yemen, killing five, millions rallied across the country to affirm their support for Palestine and readiness for major war.
“This brutal aggression will not sway Yemen from its supportive stance for the plight of the Palestinian people,” the Yemeni Armed Forces declared.
That one person who it’s like idk what our relationship is but you’re you and I’m me and that’s the whole thing
Is our relationship familial? Romantic? Platonic? Queerplatonic? Do we even know each other? Does anyone know us better than we know each other? We don’t know. But we’re here aren’t we? We are a we. Some form of relationship exists here. My friends and family ask what your relationship to me is and I tell them that it’s you and that’s all there is to it.

Creature that looks like it was made by a tumblr poll where 40% of people voted “eye” and 5% voted “leg”
It’s a mouse-deer, the smallest hoofed mammal in the world. They live in tropical forests in Southeast Asia.
We call them ‘Kancil’ in Indonesia and Malaysia. They’re the main character of many of our traditional fables (typecast as clever/sly lil bastard)
So, so gratifying to know that the ecological niche and the folklore role are shared for both rabbits and mouse deer. Guess you gotta be slick to be a tiny thicket herbivore.
