i could probably write an essay on the topic if i really wanted to but that takes energy

something i really think is interesting with 10, 14, and donna is that 10 and 14 are defined so entirely by the running, by how they run away from everything and never ever wants to look back, never ever wants to face the trauma and the hurt

and donna Never Ever Lets Them

donna will not pry when she thinks she shouldnt, but she also never lets her doctor run away at the first sign of vulnerability, and shes so very human where r t davies' doctors arent even though they really want to seem like it, she thinks about the ood, she kills a wasp that was a threat but 10 wanted to at least attempt to save, she makes him save at least one family at least four people from pompeii where none Should have survived

donna is like 10 and 14s moral compass where rose and martha were love interests, donna doesnt think the doctor is hot shit which also means that she doesnt treat them like theyre on a pedestal, and when theyre at the same level as everyone else... well... the trauma is much more visible isnt it, and if theyre at the same level as everyone else then they also need equal compassion and help as everyone else

10 and 14 will always want to run away, donna will never let them, and she will at the absolute least ask the question of are you okay and do you want to talk about it, even if its not those exact words

Babygirl once I became conscious at like 6/7, learned about The Transatlantic Slave Trade, the horrors of slavery and racism as a whole, right then and there is when I stopped caring about god.

Worst take I have ever seen on tumblr about anything.   “Making fun of 9/11 is okay because America is an evil empire.”  Excuse me?  Like it wasn’t civilians in those buildings?  Innocent people?  Non-government people?   It’s okay that they die and you can make fun of that because they’re Americans and being American makes you somehow irredeemably evil and deserving of an early, fiery death, I guess?  I bet the take was written by an American, too, an American who doesn’t want to be an American (and probably doesn’t have enough money to expatriate).  It seems like most of the anti-America takes are by Americans.   Context was how Americans are pretty immune to 9/11 jokes because we’re pretty sick and twisted.  (Personally, even as someone alive at the time watching it right on TV, I’ll enjoy them for reasons “The Republicans really milked this one,” the much grimmer “we’re measuring casualties in 9/11s now (Covid pandemic)” and juxtaposition humor (Barbie / 11).  Do people just not get “It’s funny because of the juxtaposition of two polar opposites” and are really dumb enough to think humor is in “the right people dying?”   I fear for the future.

You know what's kinda fucked up?

Having your cutesy book about Christmas time saints feature a story about three girls in danger of being sold to a brothel because of their father's debts. (St. Nicolas, whose myth of saving those 3 girls from being forced into prostitution by giving them money has turned into the story of Santa Claus)

I mean, it's accurate to the supposed story, but also, looking back at it, it was kind of a fucked up thing to have your kid (like 8 or 9) read out loud to your other children (6 or younger), when you're trying to learn where your names came from.

You know, i was glad my bro delayed moving out for the time being because it means I don't have to live alone with my parents, but with his friend spending every single weekend at our house and my bro hanging out with friends meaning he plays music all day all weekend, I am forced to reconsider that sentiment

A piece about survivors guilt.

This comic isn't perfect. I started it back in October 2023, and every time I picked up my pen, I wept.

I bring this to you today, on 9/11, in hopes that you reflect on this day a little differently than how most Americans would. Let it move you to continue to boycott, protest and challenge your family, friends and colleagues. You have a bigger impact than you would believe.

Thank you for reading this with an open heart.

From the river to the sea...

I'd like to bring to attention the fact that the figures depicted above are a gross undercount of the actual number of deaths. I scoured the internet high and low to source my findings and not a single one could break down the devastation that befell an individual ethnicity. Instead, they lumped a bunch of ethnicities together, provided a general timeline, and called it a day, reinforcing the sheer scale of dehumanization propagated in the west. The only consistency between all the articles I looked up was the 4.5 to 4.7 million figure I've included above, and even then, they were all published by western media news outlets... the very same that have been so unreliable and complicit in the genocide of Palestinians today. So I have to take everything they say with a grain of salt.

We are not just numbers.

All of us have ambitions and desires and lives worth living.

With that said, this is your friendly reminder to:

Donate an e-sim

Donate to PCRF to provide Palestinian children aid

Donate to Pious Projects to provide woman with feminine hygiene kits

Donate to CareForGaza to provide food to displaced families in Gaza either through their Gofundme or their paypal

Donate to any of the vetted gofundme campaigns on GazaFunds to help Palestinians trying to flee Gaza.

And if you or someone you know sees or experiences a hate crime and can afford it, SUE. This is a more effective use of your money than most realise. The reason zionists act with impunity is because of the normalization of white supremacy and oppression of ethnic minorities. Challenging that in any capacity tells them that there are consequences to their actions and makes them think twice before engaging in hate crimes and helps raise all of us up against the systems currently in place that let them get away with it.

If you can't donate or spend any money, you can:

Do your daily clicks.

Boycott targeted companies on the BDS list (if you're like me and you don't want a single dollar to go towards anything supporting Israel right now, you can use Bdnaash to double check what products are okay to buy, but the BDS list is sufficient as it is a strategic attack and proven very effective thus far)

Flood your representatives emails and voicemails with how you won't be voting for them unless their politics align with an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Attend a protest, be LOUD.

Challenge your circle of friends, family and colleagues with conversations about Palestine. (THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED AND MOST EFFECTIVE THING YOU CAN DO)

and if you're really up to, be disruptive in any capacity that you can think of towards major corporations benefiting from this onslaught. (i.e. halting military manufacturers from production + shipments, sticking boycott stickers on products at your market etc)

And finally, if your country wasn't mentioned in the above excerpt, it was no deliberate omission on my part and I encourage you to come forward and tell your story about the suffering of your people so that this may be a learning opportunity for everyone.

You are seen.

You are not alone.

Thank you again if you've read this far.
