you might not think it’s hard to be a soc fan artist on tumblr, but let me tell you about the time I called someone out for drawing inej with light skin, so they blocked me and then wrote a long post about me that I couldn’t see, along with colour samples taken from my art as examples of how inej is “too dark” in them, and then they end the post with “I’m disappointed in you” 💀
#girl 😭#inej ghafa#book accurate crows#mine#post contains g slur#the g word is a racial slur for romani people and a word used against them during the 500 years of chattel slavery they endured#which wasn’t even that long ago#english isn’t this person’s first language and so it was google translate who automatically used that word#but they have decided to stand by it#for a lot of my family their first language is greek#that isn't an excuse for them or me to say racially charged english slurs and if I did so by mistake I would correct myself.#you sound like someone who took an ancestry test discovered they had a#minimal percentage of a particular ethnic group in their genetic makeup#and then assumed they could speak on and represent that group without understanding its history or culture.#my racist right-wing aunt has a non white grandparent but that doesn’t give her the right to talk on matters from that ethnic group#we are all very mixed if we examined our genetics very closely#but that doesn't mean you can decide whether or not that word is a slur if you haven't lived openly as a romani person#and been called that while you were denied jobs education and even being allowed to go into stores.#you are undermining the lived experiences of individuals within the roma community.#my friend's ancestors have been saying that is a slur call us roma since the 1930s. that was only one or two#generations after the abolition of slavery.#and like any ethnic group of people they have varying skin tones?#it's actually stupid to say they all have light skin when they were in fact ostracized#dehumanized and forced into racially segregated ghettos on the outskirts of society#because of the very dark colour of their skin.#inej ghafa is romani coded#she happens to have dark skin#tw racism#tw colourism#tw g word

My music taste is so jumbled that whenever somebody asks me what I listen to i’m like wow nothing
#rock#jazz#whatever genre fairuz is#i used to be a lana girlie but she’s dead to me now as a z word#Arabic jazz has a chokehold on me#Lik is such a banger#Al-Sham by Elyanna is a good one#ive been loving Maghrebi music#the maghreb has such a cool culture#the maghrebi and Levantine fusion also has a chokehold on me#mashrou’ leila has sooo many good songs#anyway Faraj Suleiman#في اسئلة برا��ي عنك عن الحارة#عن كيف مرق الوقت عن شو اعملتي ع السمت#اذا جد نشف الوادي اذا بقيت حجارة#be still my diasporic palestinian heart but this song encompasses being from a garden that turned into a concrete ghetto#the chokehold palestine has on me#a huge part of me will always be bitter that I never lived in my homeland#that i only go for visits#i feel im somehow less palestinian than my family who live there#and im full palestinian#it’s guilt and jealousy eating me alive#id love to die and be buried in its soil#any Levantine soil is fine to be honest as long as the motherland hugs me it’s fine#anyway back to music#fairuz#ive been getting into abdelhalim hafez a lot recently#and george wassouf#i still havent gotten to the umm kalthoum stage but im getting there#7elef el amar is a banger

Also I think white ppl forget that we’re people too, like even the anti racists at times. In the sense that do u know we know when we’re the black friend? Like the reason I talk about the WAY y’all include black characters is bc that’s how y’all do it irl too and it’s sick lmao
#thinking about this in fandom perspective as usual#like the way white writers write white characters treating nonwhite characters#say that 10x fast#anyways do they realize they act like that irl and that it’s bad and that we notice#do u realize we know ur waiting for us to make the ghetto quip or be the mammy or bodyguard#do u realize we see u get upset and confused when we don’t do that#Idk like I keep hearing about that Kevin can go fuck himself thing#and that but about black characters in fandoms#white character living their life and having a fun time#black character dealing with the ramifications of casual racism every single day from their best friend#but It’s ok bc at least we had the racism episode where our truamas educated them :)#and they got to jump in at our defense and beat up the racist#for every episode after that they continue to only call when they need advice or affirmations

Everybody acknowledges fatherlessness as a huge problem in ghetto communities. Nobody acknowledges how many women prioritize their boyfriends over their children.
#i have a friend right now who suddenly has her sister living with her#because her mom#who is in her sixties#is bringing dangerous boyfriends over#i dont know a single ghetto person where this isnt a factor

spoon. for sender’s muse to pull receiver’s muse flush against them, spooning them. | ashton/noah. sleepy ashton ahoy
@gerrykecy
When Noel deposited Ashton in his room, he was fairly certain the worst of it was over. The party itself had been bad: Ben had showed up, of all people, and then Ashton got involved in some sort of game that resulted in him getting plastered. Then the cops showed up to break it up or whatever bullshit they got up to, and that was worse. They had to leave in a hurry, but since they'd gone right from the library, it was a very long walk home.
A long walk for Noah, who'd had a couple beers but was fine, but altogether too long for Ashton, who seemed like he could barely walk. He'd wrapped himself around Noah almost immediately, whining that he couldn't balance and still bitter over losing his game. And, like fucking always lately, the moment he'd draped his arm around Noah, that feeling began pulling inside Noah's chest, making him feel like he couldn't breathe. Not a convenient way to have to carry your roommate's drunken ass home, for sure.
But they'd made it home, and Noah deposited Ashton back in his room, and it was over. Or so Noah had thought, until he heard banging on the wall. "Noah," Ashton whined, loud enough that there was a chance he'd wake the neighbors. "Noah, c'mere."
There was no way this was going to end well, but neither would getting kicked out over noise complaints. So, reluctantly, Noah threw off his covers, took a moment to brace himself against the chill of the apartment, and trudged into Ashton's room. He found Ashton curled up in bed, still dressed, under a heap of blankets. Their landlord was a cheap-ass, and even though it couldn't be more than 50 inside, the heat was still off. Noah had been nestled very much the same way until someone had demanded his presence. "What now?" His tone held very little patience for Ashton, though the other man didn't seem to notice in the slightest.
"'m cold. C'mere."
"What?"
"I'm cold," Ashton repeated, articulating like maybe the problem was that Noah had misunderstood. "Come here and warm me up." Noah sighed like the entire world was against him, which kinda felt true in that moment, and wheeled around to return to his own bed and his own heap of blankets. It had to be after 3am. He was done. "I'm cold," Ashton repeated, stretching the last word like a child. "We'll be warmer if you stay."
This, unfortunately, was a fair point. Noah looked up, like he was asking for divine advice, weighing his options. If he went back to his room, his bed would be colder, because he'd be alone. And Ashton, drunk as shit, would keep whining. But if he stayed... His chest tightened again. Then again, if that was the worst of it, it was survivable. With another world-weary sigh, he turned back around and made his way to the bed. He peeled back the covers, and an invitingly warm spot appeared as Ashton scooted over.
"You're such a dick," Noah muttered as he settled into the spot. He and Ashton hadn't exactly been distant from one another but ever since he'd been having that feeling about him, Noah had been trying to keep a little bit of space between them.
Ashton, evidently, hadn't noticed and had no such qualms. He reached around, pulling Noah's back flush against him, pressing his face in between Noah's shoulder blades and letting out a contented sigh. "Thanks," he whispered back, before seemingly instantly falling asleep.
Noah froze. His heart was beating so hard now that he felt like it must be enough to wake him. And that feeling inside had seized up the rest of his organs into some ridiculous twist that was somewhere between nauseous and exhilarated. This was a mistake. A horrible mistake.
Moving in what he hoped was slow motion, Noah slid his arm onto Ashton's, hoping to pry it off. The moment he touched it, though, Ashton's tightened, pulling him somehow even closer to his chest, where he could feel Ashton's slow, steady heartbeat. Ashton snored, and Noah could feel it against his skin, through his shirt, like the weirdest and least effective back massager.
Eventually, even as his mind continued to race, Noah's breath fell in sync with Ashton's. His eyes drooped shut, and although his stomach never seemed to untie itself from knots, he did somehow drift into a strangely peaceful sleep. His last thought was that even if he might regret the hell out of this in the morning, it wasn't actually the worst way the night could end.
#answered#gerrykecy#drinking tw#i guess?#you know we hate endings btw#otp: noah x ashton#ch: noah#o: ashton#i imagine this being the last apartment they lived in before The Apartment btw#and it's just absolute student ghetto hell#the shittiest worst possible place to live u get the vibe?

i also learned that being top ranked in your class does not make you very smart..a lot of these kids were either just so out of touch from things outside of academics, they grew up in honor roll and would look down at people who were in normal classes and i think having friends and classmates with those kinds senitments really harmed me when i started to be in normal classes, and some of the dumbest things ive ever heard have come from peers who were top ranked in our class
#like hearing transphobic things coming from a kid everyone thought was so sweet and kind and won all kinds of rewardw#a friend telling me that people choose to live in the ghetto#a friend who had a record of saying things to other friends in our friend group that were pretty mean id need a separate post for him tbh#a friend who was messing around with this guy who threatened to kill her and ignored all our warnings from us#all top 10 students that im no longer friends with but i feel better for it#not saying people with 4.0 gpas are evil and im jealous. i am jealous but#with all the drilling into ur head the ed system does you lose yourself and start to think its the world#when it really isnt ik someones gonna care about my shitty grades but i know its not the end of the world for me#now that ik that is probably why i dont have gray hairs anymore#im still a little dumb but that has nothing to do with it hehee

There are people out there telling people that the crux of South Africa’s case against Israel is the claim that Israel started bombing Gaza “out of the blue” and “without reason.” And I’m just sitting here like… “did you even watch their opening remarks?” The answer has to be no. Because I explicitly remember hearing South Africa acknowledge Oct. 7th. And I remember them saying that the scale of the violence and death and destruction is unacceptable as a response.
These people are also claiming that South Africa praised Hamas during their testimony and I just have no idea where they are getting this. Did someone tell you this and you’re just uncritically repeating it? Do you lack reading AND listening comprehension? Or is this a purposeful mischaracterization to spread misinformation? Because South Africa literally said that what Hamas did is unacceptable and that it constitutes war crimes, but they are not a state and not a party to the convention and thus they cannot bring case against them.
#You wanna try Hamas at The Hague?#You’ll have to give them legitimacy as a government and governing body#in a shocking turn of events that no one saw coming#Zionists begin arguing that Hamas should be given international recognition as a government#so they can argue *we’re* hypocrites for treating a state that incurs obligations internationally disparately from an NGTO#(non-governmental terrorist organization)#I declare that ‘horseshoe theory’ now refers to how ‘either side’ will argue whatever the fuck they want#no matter how ideologically inconsistent it is with previous statements#just to serve an expedient political gotcha#‘cuz what the fuck are y’all on#Hamas incurs no international obligations and bears no international responsibilities because it is not a sovereign government#that rules over a sovereign nation#but admitting that requires admitting that Palestinians live under a defacto one-state solution#and that Palestinians in Gaza have been subject to life in a ghetto under defacto Israeli military control

i think that whole "never felt safe growing up and most of my life" thing did real damage to my psyche lmao
#......... whole damn childhood of not feeling safe. i think... the one place i can even think of where i was truly comfortable was my aunts#house. and id see her rarely and not get to stay w her that often/long...#.... apart from that?.... just constant fucking fear and wanting to escape and be left alone#... when i got older like middle high college id feel somewhat safe at friends houses. but i always dreaded having to go home#when i lived at college was... the first time i actually lived somewhere where i felt kinda safe and at home. but my parents made sure to#remind me that it wasnt my actual home lmaoo and that they could take it away at any moment#just like how after we moved from romania i had to hear all the time. while i was stuck in a foreign country as a kid. that my room isnt my#own nothing is my own i owe them everything privacy wasnt allowed etc etc#...... after college i lived w my partner in the ghetto. like shots outside 7+ times a day sorta ghetto. i literally felt safer and more#comfortable and vibing and chill than i did at home with my parents?? lmaoo jfc i actually miss it#apart from that... probably the second time i was in the psych ward lol#and after i come back from romania its gonna be months again of having to stay alone w my stepfather whose like. weirdly sexually attracted#to me and loud and agressive and it just. triggers me so fucking much. god. i hate all this. i hate all this#twenty two fucking years of knowing little else than fucking fear and loneliness. i just. want. to feel safe.#for fucking once#so often i just wanna curl up in a borrow and never come out. thats all i want. im so tired. im so tired of this

I worked so hard on my old rich people's favorite young person persona, I cannot go back anymore...
#i just had an interview for a library in a suburban town that’s not the ghetto but not rich either#the kind of town i've lived in my whole life#and after 2min i thought nope...#just to be clear i don't hate poor people and i have the most respect for people who work in poor neighborhoods#they should be paid a lot more than business people#but i personally just can't do it#my parents are middle class and on the poorer side of the middle but since i was a child i noticed old rich people liked me#and i leaned into that a lot#i literally got an apartment in a rich town with a balcony even though my salary is a joke because i ran into the owners when i visited it#and they thought i was a very nice and respectable young lady#like that's my whole thing!!!#anyway it used to be kind of a joke in my family but now it's just who i am i look like i've never known any struggle in life
