All eyes on Rafah. We cannot let this lose traction

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ve seen so many posts of people arguing or being upset over this celebrity or that musician being shitty and supporting a genocide, not to say these conversations of people being held responsible shouldn’t happen, (they should). But if you’re going to spend so much time obsessing over celebrities, the least you can do is spend 2 minutes watching a video of someone who is actually in Palestine.

ALL EYES ON RAFAH

i genuinely hope that boop day inspires everyone to interact more with other tumblr users. because it’s clearly way more fun this way!! even once the boop button is gone, there’s still asks, tag and ask games, comments, dms, fuck it let’s bring back blog rates i don’t care. part of the reason that tumblr is dying is that its way less social than it used to be. let’s fix that!!

They can call us a relic and " dead " as much as they want.

It doesn't change the fact that I interact with actual human beings here whereas half of Twitter is fucking propaganda bots and the other half is desperate wannabe influencers who sound more like bots than the bots. Everyone's always promoting something there.

You might not see a billion verified celebrities here but you see Hookerpissgourmet's slow descent into madness and acceptance as he grasps the rewarding futility of life and embraces that being cringe is his key to happiness.

I love hookerpissgourmet over J Karen Rowling or Matt Walsh or Candace Owens.

I would die for hookerpissgourmet.

A short stranger moves into town, doesn't seem to interact much with anyone, and six months later when there's a scandal about someone's daughter being pregnant out of wedlock, he shows up out of the blue to claim paternity. He says he can't marry the mother - he's got a wife somewhere else, estranged, but a wife nonetheless - but he'll take care of them. Baffled looks are exchanged around the room, but nobody challenges the claim. The child's mother, who doesn't seem to have ever met this man in her life, but has found her options limited, agrees that he is the father.

This, somehow, happens again, and not only several times, but often enough for people to expect it. Each time there's a young, unwed mother with nowhere else to go, she ends up moving in to the shack this man, Jonathan, has claimed for himself and his growing family. The question "do they know who the father is, or is it Jonathan's?" becomes an ordinary thing to ask.

He himself insists that each new bastard is his - if the child looks nothing like him nor the mother, there is always an ancestor he has who had hair exactly like that, or a nose exactly like that, as he himself is constructed of every single recessive gene known to man, a mixture of every kind of ancestry there is.

The village tolerates him. Despite of being quiet most of the time, and rude when he talks, he's a law-abiding citizen, save for threatening to fight other men to defend his growing flock of bastards and the honour and dignity of their respective mothers. There is no winning a fight with a small man, you'll either come out as a laughingstock if you lose, or looking like a brute if you win, and no man is willing to gamble his dignity in order to find out whether Jonathan can actually fight or not.

Nobody is exactly sure what, exactly, he gains out of cultivating notoriety as a man who singlehandedly fathered 38 bastards and continues to do so into his forties and fifties, as a short and angry little man who wasn't even particularly handsome in his youth. He and the family he continues gathering are a problem they prefer to have. And for as long as he continues doing what he insists on doing, nobody pauses for long enough to figure out that he's trans.

No but it’s a much better channel

shoutout to the guy who created a parody account of cinemasins where instead of pointing out every single flaw in a film, he just pointed out things he liked about the movie. you're so right cinemawins its so much more fun to like things

My entire philosophy in analyzing media has been influenced by one (1) single event in my past, and that is this:

In my junior English class in high school, we all had to write a lengthy in-depth research paper on a work of classic literature. We were given a list of possible books to pick from. (It's not relevant to this story, but I picked 1984.)

The student who picked The Picture of Dorian Gray got a poor grade on her final paper, and picked an argument with the teacher over it during class.

The teacher told her that her paper was bad because she somehow wrote a ten-page paper about Oscar Wilde without ever once mentioning that he was queer, which meant she had a limited scope of his entire body of work, and her analysis was perfunctory and limited.

She argued with the teacher in front of the class that being gay didn't mean anything and that it "wasn't relevant," and he had to explain to this fundamentalist Southern Baptist teenage girl that, yes, honey, Oscar Wilde being so outwardly flamboyantly queer that he was put on trial adds a significant amount of context that she willfully chose to ignore and strip out of her paper.

So yeah.

I love it when cities preserve the old cobblestone streets and maintain them instead doing something barbaric like ripping them out to replace them with asphalt. I also love it when city planning includes assigned bicycle paths to keep cyclists, pedestrians and drivers out of each others' way.

But if you do city planning for a living and assign a cobblestone street as a bike path, I hope you get attacked by a chicken.
