one of my housemates is so fucking sensitive it turns me into a person I do not like
#like i always thought /i/ was 'overly' sensitive but my god. you cannot say ANYTHING around her#every little thing is too much for her everything is a trigger everything makes her tell you it wasn't okay for you to say around her or not#warning her about first like my sister in christ how the fuck should i have known this was a problem for you#maybe print out a trigger list and send it to all of us or something#but breathing is probably on there so#truly i hate how i sound i don't want to be like this but she's just playing the victim so severely it makes me aggressive it's like. primal#and I don't care when she flees from the room all the time when we're just having normal conversations because honestly I'm glad when she's#gone but she projects her issues onto everyone and everything around her like she cannot comprehend that maybe she has a fucking problem and#should maybe learn to deal with the fucking world#people aren't horrible for simply existing around you being themselves like. ny god it just makes me so furious#like i am AWARE that i have deficits; things that are easy for other people or come natural to them that i have issues with and that's fine#I'm learning to live in my way#and i can still love myself and not blame myself for having these problems without turning everyone around me and the whole fucking world#into the problem instead#i don't know if I'm even conveying what i mean#it's just this fucking victim complex that's driving me up the walls#she sees herself as so innocent and actually she's treating people like shit#man do i wish i could smoke about this

idk theres something in "the bolter" by taylor that reminds me of toph
Hi Anon, thank you for the ask!
Tbh I haven't given Taylor's album a proper listen but I put on "The Bolter" and I can see some character traits of Toph in it! (although I'm not the best at interpreting lyrics I just listen to songs and if I bop with them, then I'm good)
I feel like it's representative of Toph in the canon story line of TLOK from what we know. Her running around, having kids with different fellas, running off to the Swamp to become enlightened...
Feels bolt-y of her lol.
Also I suppose her running away in ATLA is bolt-y of her lmaoo.
Maybe I'm taking the title too literally...
Would love to hear your thoughts on how the song fits Toph! :D
......
Send me asks about ATLA or LOK!
#what's the stitch#my asks#thanks for the ask!#anon#toph#toph beifong#atla#lok#send me asks!#i do think i headcanon toph to be a bit more steadfast and wouldn't run from things#even her flings. if anything she'd make them flee lmao#but yeah kid toph she literally ran from home. a bit of a problem child for that ope

Warning- this is a very petty post, but I think I'm entitled to at least one petty, pissed-off reaction every time I finish a classic novel that hit harder than I expected so take this as my quota for the year.
Also spoiler warning for a book that came out over a century ago but still, I didn't know the plot going in so don't want to ruin it for anyone else, if you haven't read it shut your eyes. (Also Local Tumblr User Going Wild Over Book Published a Hundred Years Ago That Everybody Else Already Read should probably be categorised as akey part of indigenous tumblr culture at this point).
Anyway I just finished the War of the Worlds and in between studying I've thinking about Themes and Motifs as you do, and idly looking for further analysis. I then accidentally ran into an article called 'A Quiet Place II Succeeds Where the War of the Worlds Failed' and:
Now I haven't seen any of the Quiet Place films, this is not a rant against them and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But re: the ending of The War of the Worlds, I have to ask, did this guy somehow miss, uh, the entire point of the book or am I just utterly insane?
#You're right it's not very satisfying for humanity that the invaders are foiled by a bacteria and not human action! Maybe that's the point!#Maybe it's supposed to be FRIGHTENING and make you ask questions about what humans will do under extreme stress#Not be a morally uplifting tale about Humanity Heroically Defeating the Martians in a Glorious Hollywood Ending#Maybe it's MEANT to be unsatisfying because this is not a straightforward fairytale#I mean I've only read it once and don't know much about Wells' work so I might have misunderstood the point of the book too#But at places it is a very pessimistic view of the human condition and that's partly WHY IT'S SO POWERFUL#That doesn't mean there aren't moments of individual acts of heroism (the Thunderchild for example)#But the question is not just 'how will humanity beat the Martians and prove that we're still the masters of the universe'#Rather 'a) why is humanity so confident that it's ultimately in control of its own destiny#And b) here's lots of scenes of societal collapse and of people pushed to the brink and what would YOU do in those circumstances?#Would YOU feel remorse about silencing the curate even if it did lead to his death?#What if it rather than a foolish adult it had been a small child?#And even if they were weak did they DESERVE it? Yes it might have been necessary but should it be policy going forward?#Would you also be attracted briefly by the certainties that the artilleryman's (rather fascist) plan seems to offer so humanity survives?#But what sort of humanity would that be if it DID survive and is it worth it? The narrator feels he needs to justify the curate's death#The artilleryman would have probably never have thought it was anything OTHER than justifiable or indeed laudable#Under strain and stress would you start to turn against even your loved ones and become brutal?#Is that the only hope for human survival beyond complete surrender? And was the destruction of London maybe even 'cleansing'#In the eugenics sense or in the sense of a natural horror of dirt and germs?#And the vast exodus of six million people fleeing headlong in panic - we might not have seen that exact phenomenon#But didn't the twentieth century subsequently go on to show us unprecedented scale of slaughter and refugee movements and communal strife?#At the end of the day what really separates humanity from other animals? And what separates us from the Martians?#It's not an uncontroversial book- it was written over a hundred years ago for goodness sake and there are questions worth asking#about the way imperialism and arguments about eugenics and population control and all sorts of other dodgy areas operated on Wells' mind#But dear God I really don't think the problem with the book is that 'Humanity didn't save the day!'#Unsatisfying ending? Yes. A FAILURE? No not in my opinion- looks like it was exactly what Wells set out to do#Humanity didn't win the war of the worlds they had a narrow escape and though it might not be martians next time#Why wouldn't disaster return in the future? Sure we've studied their flying machines and even preserved a martian in a jar#But for all our science what have we ACTUALLY learned that will enable us to avert future human catastrophes? Ethically or socially?#Alright rant over- as usual my opinion is not universal nor necessarily well-informed this take just really got my goat

from Is deep brain stimulation a treatment option for anorexia nervosa?
#ok well#this is weird and interesting#in some cases whatever works is worth it i guess but i can just see them rolling this out for everyone like they did with SSRIs#you say they want to implant electrodes in my brain? hm. this will make me no longer mentally ill you say? hm. ok yeah#there is definitely no way this could be misused or go awry. definitely drill some holes in my skull and mess with shit you half understand#sure that's fine. but drugs are bad. make those illegal. can't have people altering their moods with substances. better to let them run#the risk of altering their personalities permanently from brain surgery (a real risk) rather than allow them effective drug treatment#drugs that work are likely to make citizens poor consumers! studies show satisfied people buy less junk! oh no! enemy incoming#foe detected. use weapon LAW to attack threat to power DRUG USE. direct hit. foe sustains damage. foe flees battle.#foe will now proceed to transform into a variety of societal problems that show up for the rest of the game in different forms#things like OVERCROWDED PRISONS and PREVENTABLE FENT EPIDEMIC accompanied by ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE that could have been defeated with a simpl#LEGALIZE AND REGULATE spell. maybe they'll get it right on the second playthrough.#i swear i wouldn't be half this annoying if i could ever achieve regular sleep#z#workmoronal

Liberals will deadass be like "ah yes the three great evils: the British Empire, America, and Jews" and then wonder why Jews don't feel safe lol
#solitaretalk#this isn't an exaggeration#hell it's not even paraphrasing#hmmm I think about this a lot#when I was studying early on my rabbi explained why and how conservatism got so popular in Israel#esp when Jewish ppl are statistically more likely to be liberal#and he explained it well but honestly I'm embarrassed I didn't get it right away#most of the organizations spending money to help Jews are right wing evangelical ones#and yes their reasons are insane but does that matter to you when you grandma needs to flee her home?#when you have a lot of groups trying to kill you and one says 'what if we give you all the guns so you're not the ones getting murdered'#you can see why that would be tempting#and if you can't you've simply never been in enough danger to get it#us vs them is very easy when you've been the them for thousands of years worth of discrimination and genocide#idk man it's long and complicated but I'm so tired#I don't think the American left has ever had my interests in mind#and as they get increasingly violent towards Jews alongside increased violence from fascists#I feel like at that point you should stop wondering how it got here#and start realizing ur part of the problem

one of the most awful parts abt the Situation for me is seeing how many ppl that i like and trust are just out and out spouting antisemitic rhetoric without any question. i understand some of you are young and super attracted to Really Radical Violent Politics but please consider reading abt this rhetoric and actively avoiding it.
and accusing jews of "pulling the antisemitism card" to avoid culpability for your antisemitic rhetoric is not actually a progressive move. you are just being antisemitic.
#seraph speaks#if i see one more online leftist gentile use holocaust inversion i am going to lose my mind#on god some of you think that jews just sprouted from germany's soil like little curly haired flowers#i also do not want to see a single one of you calling all (((israelis))) white (we know what u really mean when u say 'israelis' btw)#esp if you think they can just ~go back~#esp if you cannot name a single non-european group of jews#that photo of ppl leaving israel via the airport... i hope u understand that the massacre happened on one of judaism's major holidays#those were almost certainly not majority israelis. those were tourists visiting for the holidays fleeing to go home.#honestly i do not want to hear the opinions of non-palestinian goyim ever again atp#you do not know how to fucking behave#and it's exhausting#..... and obligatory disclaimer that if u think this is in any way excusing israel's war crimes u are the problem#i do not fucking feel safe on this goddamn site anymore.

#I keep having these low-key frustrating conversations with people I respect about anti-trans laws#one of my favorite profs was asking me the other day what I want to do after my degree#and I mentioned that I might leave geology bc while I like my work and think it's useful#there are problems in the world that are way more pressing than [natural hazard] in [location] and matter more to me#also that it's kind of a bummer/difficult to plan for a long term future here#when I don't know what laws will look like here in just a few years from now...#I live in a pretty safe state but I'm worried about national laws#like to be clear I think a 'need to flee the country immediately' kind of situation is a long long long way from where we are now#but not so unlikely that I can readily put down the daymares about it#anyway I say this to the prof#and he says 'where will you go??'#and like I get what he meant and it's not a bad question exactly but that phrasing sure makes things sound globally hopeless#like 'if you need to leave where would you prefer to go?' would have been so much better...#and then today my advisor asked how my 2024 is going so far and I said that as of this morning#280 state level anti-trans bills had been filed and 38 national ones#and her response was 'why haven't I seen it in the news?'#how tf am I supposed to respond to that?? do I look like the fucking new york times to you????#first I was like 'there are people covering it like I could send links'#and she was like 'I'm not talking about whether I go looking for something... I meant why haven't I seen it In The News'#I ended up saying something about how similar bills are filed in many states so it would get repetitive on npr etc.#and how often do state level bills make it to the national news anyways?#and then I said that even here there had been one filed though I don't expect it will be passed#and she was like 'oh yeah I saw that one in the news'#and I'm like '?????????' so you DO see it in the news hmmmm?#and while I agree with the point that more national coverage would be good part of me still wonders#would she even notice if more of those headlines passed through her universe?#anyway to be clear these are both good people that I like a lot#something is just a little off and maybe it's that they don't quite get it#or that my sleep schedule went to hell in a handbasket so things bug me that normally wouldn't#or both

TW: I accidently vented woops. Long amount of text ig.
serious note: I feel like I'm losing myself lately because of how much of my time is consumed with college. my sleep schedule is fucked and I'm lashing out at my loved ones. My grades are tanking, I'm procrastinating and yet doing nothing I like. My mom just recently got a job after being a stay at home mom for 20 years and she's been complaining constantly about not having the time for things anymore; but like all I can think about is how I've been forced through the same experience for the entirety of my life. I don't want to think like this but I just feel so fed up with her. And yet she's probably accomplishing more than me in her daily life since I literally am in the process of procrastinating.
I feel so fucking dumb.
All my life I'm told that I was gifted and smart and now the only way I survive is by cheating. I just wanna disappear, but I can't even do that cuz i'm broke. Since when did society decide that u literally cannot have any semblance of success if u don't conform and waste thousands of hours running on their hamster wheel test of endurance??
#losing my mind#can it end already???#humor turned serious#oof#why am i like this#but basically i am so done with school and i wish that it could end by me fleeing#side note: why does everyone make “running from your problems” a bad thing?#like bish at least I'm smart enough to run

Hello
my name is Aya, I am 26 years old, currently living in the northern part of Gaza City, and I am a mother of two children. My oldest is my daughter, Sana'a, who is 5 years old, and my youngest is my son, Wasfi, who is 3.
Since the morning of October 7th, 2023, our lives have been turned upside down. We have lived through the hardest days of our lives, facing displacement and homelessness. We have been forced to leave our home more than ten times since the war began. We would leave without knowing where to go.
We sought refuge in schools and relatives' homes, hoping we could return home and that this nightmare would end. But our house was bombed, and our dreams were destroyed. We became homeless and displaced.
Every day, we wake up to the sound of bombs and rockets. I lived in constant fear and terror with my children, especially when my family's house was bombed while we were taking shelter there.
We are experiencing a real famine in Gaza. I’ve gone to bed with my children many nights without dinner because there is no food available. We have had to eat animal and bird feed due to the high cost of flour just to fill the hunger of my young children. Even after eating it, we all suffered from diarrhea and severe stomach pain. My children developed rashes on their bodies due to the spread of viruses and the accumulation of garbage. There is also a severe shortage of water, and even when we find it, it's not safe to drink.
My children cry, asking for vegetables, fruits, and eggs, but we can’t afford them because we have no income. The gas shortage has forced us to use fire for everything—cooking and baking—using plastic and pipes because firewood is so hard to find.
My children also developed jaundice, and I struggled a lot to get them better because there was no access to vegetables, fruits, or medicine. I even feared that my son might have developed polio because he already had leg problems before the war, and they worsened due to malnutrition.
Winter is coming, and we have nothing for it. I need clothes and shoes for my children to keep them warm, but I can’t buy them because they are so expensive.
For this reason, I beg of you and hope that you can support me, even with the smallest contribution, so I can provide my children with the most basic necessities of life.
I was displaced with my children to my family's house, tears in my eyes. On the way, Salah Al-Din Street was bombed, and the Israeli occupation committed horrific massacres. By the grace of God, we survived for the first time. We lived in terror and fear. A few days later, my family's house was bombed, and we were pulled out from under the rubble, miraculously surviving for the second time.
When my husband heard the news that we had died, he came to bid us farewell, only to find us alive by God's grace. We returned with him, but as the situation worsened and the fire belts in our area increased, we started to flee again and again, not knowing where to go next.
I beg of you to share my story and help me continue to live.

🚨🚨Hello, my name is Iman, a mother of five children, the oldest is 15 years old and the youngest is two.
I live with my family in northern Gaza. Our life has turned into a battlefield. We lost our home and were forced to flee and escape with our lives. We have been displaced eight times, moving from one school to another, and we are now living a life of homelessness and hunger
. Even clean water is unavailable 💔😭. My children are suffering from starvation and malnutrition, going to bed hungry every day.
I cry for my little daughter, who is two years old, when she asks for milk, which we don't have, and her frail body survives only on flour and stale bread. She has been deprived of everything. My children long for vegetables, meat, and fruit, which we haven't had in One year since the war began. Our bodies have been worn down, our bones are brittle, and my son Mohamed's chest bones are now protruding along with his spine. His body is covered in scabies due to a lack of cleanliness and the absence of medicine. Our bodies are swollen from the intense heat as we live with 40 people crammed into a small classroom filled with displaced people.
I am a mother suffering from health problems and I need many treatments, some of which are expensive and some of which are not available due to the war. I hope for your help 😭💔💔💔
My children have been deprived of education, even though they are all excellent students
. On top of everything, there's constant bombing, fear, and hunger every day 🥺. This is why I am reaching out, as I have no income to provide for their basic needs as we try to rebuild our lives
Your donations will be the lifeline for my children, offering them a chance to survive and live through these difficult and harsh conditions. Even a very small contribution will make a difference in their lives. Every dollar counts in helping them through this crisis. Please, join in lending a helping hand during this tough and challenging time.
😢😢😢💔💔💔We are in northern Gaza, bodies without life, starvation is killing us, from the youngest to the oldest. We need your support, even if it's something

The emotional whiplash of fucking something up but quickly and easily fixing it leaves me with lingering anxiety that could power a small town
#Text#Literally it was just me ordering an electric dryer when we have gas and calling then and fixing it#Took less than 10 minutes from realizing the problem to fixing it and yet my body wants to flee a mile in the opposite direction

Rolan
A Childhood Stolen by War 💔
When I think of my little ، daughter Rolan, the first thing that comes to mind is her innocent laughter that used to fill our home with joy.
Rolan, who is just five years old, was once a lively, energetic child, full of innocence and unaware of anything but playing with her toys 🧸🎈.
Since the war began, everything has changed.
We have been forced to flee several times, each time hoping that it would be our last stop 😔🏚️.
Rolan would watch us silently as we packed our few belongings, her eyes reflecting fear and confusion about what was happening around her 😔.
In the last place we went to, Rolan began to suffer from a problem with her skin, which began to become constantly sensitive due to pollution, insect bites, and germs spread everywhere.
Rolan cried from the pain, and we couldn't afford to get her the necessary treatment😢
Access to doctors or medicine became almost impossible due to the ongoing conflict 🚫🩺, and we now live in a place lacking the most basic necessities.
Rolan would ask us innocently, "Why can't I play like I used to? Why does my skin hurt?" 🥺, and all we could do was reassure her that everything would be okay, even though deep inside, we felt completely helpless.
Our constant displacement has also affected her nutrition 🍽️.
Despite all this pain, Rolan remains a child 🌸.
Even in the hardest moments, she tries to smile 😊, searching for small moments of joy in anything she can find around her.
Her story is the story of thousands of children who have suffered because of the war 🕊️.
Her life has been suspended between pain, fear, and deprivation.
All we want is to give her back a piece of the life she deserves 🎨.
We are doing everything we can to provide Rolan with the treatment she needs and to restore the sense of safety she has lost, but we cannot do it alone 🤲.
We need your support, not only to secure medicine and treatment but to give Rolan the chance to live her childhood as she should 🌸.
Every contribution can help heal her wounds and bring back the smile we’ve missed 💖.
We want to give her a better future, free from pain and fear 🌟✨.
best wishes:
Amal Alhaj
My husband
