gonna write a whole thing someday about how characters of color who clearly have a history of trauma or mental health issues aren’t given consideration or acknowledgement in the fandom imagination

last night when my mom called me, we talked about the upcoming election bc all our recent conversations circle back to that lol (what a year this month has been!), and she brought up a personal story related to voting which ig explains the reason i am the way i am.

her first major election was the presidential election of 1984 (and yes, she still hates reagan). she's like 20 and was talking to a pretty close, 18 yr old work friend about it (they were also friends outside of work). my mom casually asked her "who're you voting for?", but her friend goes "actually, i'm not voting". and my mom's all "wtf???" and gets an "i just don't care about it" in response. my mom goes, "you know that people Died to give us the right to vote?" bc it's 1984 and the '60s basically Just happened. it's all w/in graphic, living memory and the voting rights act of 1965 is younger than She is! and her younger-than-the-voting-rights-act-of-1965 friend replies, "no, they died to give us the Choice to vote", like that was a mic drop or something.

important context: my mom is black and from the deep south, born in very late 1964 (like a month after VP harris). she's a cusper, straddling that baby boomer/gen x line, so major events of the late '60s/early '70s happened during her early formative years. things like being a little kid during the tail-end of the civil rights movement, growing up w/ the cultural memory of freedom summer, negro history week -> black history month, being integrated into a white public school in '71 once that wave finally reached louisiana (she was 7 at the time), and so on. these are her formative childhood years.

my mom tells me, "i just got so angry at her that i couldn't talk to her for the rest of the day", a cold shoulder that lasted until she eventually got another job.

hearing this, i just thought it was so funny, that my mom (who isn't super political at all) was so immediately off-put by a friend's refusal to vote in The Midst of the hell that was reagan's america that she Literally never talked to her again. personality-wise, we are Not that alike lol. but somewhere along the line, ig she instilled in her kids this complete lack of patience for non-voters. she made me like this! so like. "i'm not voting bc–" are you stupid? the voting rights act is younger than My Mom, people Died for that, even felons today (especially in the south, Especially minorities) who really Want to vote often Can't, and you're like "who cares?" that's so embarrassing. sure ig you have the right to choose Not to vote, but i reserve the right to think you're an idiot.

[your-thighness]

i think ego death is the most beautiful thing we can experience.

to be completely vulnerable and have absolute no control of this......thing kill what you thought was you

AND manage to continue to live YOUR life and go through so many transformations is just so breathtakingly beautiful

losing my MIND over this image they look so much like summer campers. this is on the front page of the camp halfblood website until theyre all 22

Wait, so you do think I'm a little stunning? That's a word choice. Not my intention to rub it in, I'll endeavor to avoid that.

That's very impressive. However, my sister and I only occupy our apartment. Just twenty-two rooms. The rest are other apartments, some of which are occupied and tourist areas. We just stick to our parts. I've cut food before so yes, I think so. I hope so. I don't want to look like an idiot in front of you.

[Attached: Richard smiling because Grant is smiling and Grant finding him even just a little stunning is a thing.]

Certainly looked better in the pictures.

Well if you are a little stunning its just because you're a fucking James Bond/Prince Charming hybrid, no need to rub it in all our faces.

It's not me you need to apologize to. But really, how can you live in a place like that and not know how many kitchens it has? I had the whole White House mapped out in my head after, like, two weeks. And all you need to qualify to be my sous chef is the ability to slice a vegetable without cutting yourself. Please tell me you can manage that? Destroying the kitchen is half the fun.

[Attached: Grant grinning back]

Good, you won't be disappointed.

❛ i wonder if i’m doing the best i could. ❜ DJEETS responsibilities to responsibilities communication

𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐘 𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐊 & 𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 

She stays silent for a moment, looking out at the great blue yonder. How at ease she felt, staring at the endless sea that was the sky. How much she had longed to dive into it - or, the better analogy, fly into those great heights and get lost in the mountains of clouds and forever-stretching horizons. Even at her worst, looking at the sky she kept blue...the beauty of life brought her back from any stump she was in.

She was hoping it did for Akira too, but she knew how different their lives were. The connecting countries are nothing like the islands that she flies to. The magic systems are vastly different, and with how many promises she's made - including the ones she had broken, both on purpose and accident - now weighed more heavy on her mind with how the describe them. How they had come from another world, falling into their family of wizards, and then...falling again with them in tow. Everyone seemed to fall into Phantagrande, and barely the other way around...

But they were similar, too. Kindhearted leaders. Partially forced into many roles they didn't want; partially growing into them to protect the new friends and family they now cherished. They were much more mature than her, she could tell, but she could feel a bit of a kindred spirit with them on some level. Maybe that's why they seeked her out - or, perhaps, they both just happened to come up to the deck for some fresh air, of course. And maybe that's why they say what they did, wondering what Djeeta would say to it. How many times had that thought crossed her mind? Now more than ever.

"...You care about them, right?" She doesn't look at them, but grips the railing a bit tighter. "You want to do your best by them. Even if things never work out perfectly, you want to be by their side no matter what, and help them through whatever they're going through. You're thinking of ways to make them happy, or to satiate their curiosities, or to help the hearts and minds heal, in any way you can. Sometimes you can't...But even then, you're still there for them and try your best." She pauses as the wind whips her hair, tucking a strand behind her ear. "I think...That's all we really can do. Try. Care for them and protect them - " or die trying " - a-as best as we can."

She chuckles to herself, before she finally turns towards them, her usual goofy grin replaced with a mature, warm smile. "I think you're doing great, Akira. And I'm sure the wizards appreciate all that you try and do for them." And, as soon as it's there, it's gone - her usual grin as she leans against the rail. "Of course, I know that probably doesn't mean that wondering won't come back. It always does, no matter how much you remind yourself. But that just means you need someone to remind you again - and you conveniently have plenty of people that'll do just that!"

A Shooting I Don't See Many People Talk About.

Michael Peter Slobodian, 16, from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. He died by suicide on May 28th, 1975 after injuring 13 people and killing 2 at Brampton Centennial Secondary School.

He used a .444-caliber lever-action rifle and a .22-caliber semi-automatic rifle during his rampage.

One of his suicide notes read:

"To whom it may concern, my life is now gone to pot. I am going to eliminate certain people from this world. Those people are:

Mrs. Wright

Mr. Bronson

And any other sucker who gets in my way. I am then going to kill myself so as not to be imprisoned. I am not insane but just strictly fed up of life. I am not getting myself anywhere and it's my fault.

I love my parents and my family and I know that they love me.

Michael Peter Slobodian."

He also wrote:

"When I die, I hope to find a little peace upon my mind."

Al-Shifa Hospital is a ‘big prison’, says director

Nov 17th, 12:25 GMT

As Israel continues its raid of al-Shifa Hospital, the director of al-Shifa says the medical compound has become a “big prison” and a “mass grave” for all those inside.

Muhammed Abu Salmiya tells Al Jazeera that there are 7,000 people in the hospital and staff are still working to help patients but they “lost all those who were in the intensive care unit”.

“We are left with nothing, no power, no food, no water. with every passing minute, we are losing a life. Overnight we lost 22 persons, [and] for the past three days the hospital has been kept under siege,” Salmiya said.

He added that they have appealed to leave the hospital but are being denied by Israeli forces.

“It’s a war crime. A full-fledged war crime,” he said.
