So far, I'm gonna eat my words and say that this antidepressant might be doing some good...

Sometimes I feel like the coining of new terms and microlabels is more about wanting to be the originator of something and getting praise for it than about needing a simple way to express your identity.

GLOBAL STRIKE FOR GAZA 1/21-1/28

Apologies for my delay in using my platform, I found out about this strike yesterday and was taking some time to figure out what to say

Palestine has been suffering long before October 2023 and I need everybody to understand that. There is a genocide happening right now and if people don't use their voices to speak up, then they will become a lost cause in our history. We do not want the stories of their people to be told 50 years from now with a side comment like "oh no I wish someone would've done something" or "I can't believe that actually happened." Our voices can spread like a wildfire, so I hope that everybody joins the global strike this week in support of Palestine and uses their voices, social media, platforms, etc to voice their support.

If you are unsure of where to start, I suggest reading up on the history of Israel's occupation of Palestine dating back to 1948. Here is a free PDF download of this book. To be honest, I have not finished reading this book yet, but it's been highly recommended to me by multiple people. Buying the book from the author would be better, but I understand that it's not within everybody's budgets which is why I included that link.

______________________________________________________________

If you follow this link, this is a great guide on how to participate and support the strike this week. Doing every single thing is not realistic but do what you can and that is enough.

Here are some Palestinian journalists you can follow on Twitter, as they are the most reliable source. Many news sources worldwide have been misconstruing this "conflict" and completely ignoring the blatant genocide happening before our eyes. These journalists are Palestinian people who have been living this their whole lives (there are many more people and the Twitter thread can be viewed here)

Additionally, here are some other Twitter accounts that you can receive information from.

I urge everybody (art blogs, fandom blogs, etc) to put their interests on pause for the week and use that time to educate themselves on what's been going on for the last several years. This did not start in October. Keep speaking up and uplift Palestinian voices!

Espilver Week 2024 day 3: Food

It took me a while today bc I didn't want to make Silver_eating_Dango.png (999) but I also didn't want to make the chili dog from the Silver section of the cookbook (I was lazy) so I went with the good old easy way

Every breath is a prayer of some kind I breathe in, I breathe out, I just breathe And you're so well, blue wonderful Blue wonderful to me

Like swimming in your eyes I dive in, I dive deep, I just swim I lose myself in you, blue wonderful Blue wonderful again

Don't you know where you go? I will follow In your footsteps I find my own feet Addicted like I am to the blues Kind of blue of all the blues I need

Yesterday did someone else's song In sixty-five summertime, don't let go Long before you came, blue wonderful The blue wonderful I know

Ain't just something I just left behind In the past, far away, used to be But your presence, my blue wonderful Blue wonderful to me

Go where you want, when you want to Just don't let the wind tear you free Stick around the light that brings you home Don't ever hang around with the breeze

Don't you know where you go? I will follow In your footsteps I find my own feet Addicted like I am to the blues Kind of blue of all the blues I need

Every breath is a prayer of some kind I breathe in, I breathe out, I just breathe And you're so well, blue wonderful Blue wonderful to me

Like swimming in your eyes I dive in, I dive deep, I just swim I lose myself in you, blue wonderful Blue wonderful again

I lose myself in you, blue wonderful Blue wonderful Blue wonderful Blue wonderful Blue wonderful, again

The difficulties of Aruani secret relationship!

I think they would easily come to the agreement that they want to keep it to themselves. Primarily, I think Annie's the one to bring it up and Armin agrees

It's also Annie who sets up their boundaries, like no holding her hand in public, no touching her, no eye-fucking her from across the room, no flirting in public, etc and really, Armin is keeping his end of the deal, and it's bearable because they get to get together at night and during little pockets of time during the day where they have to be stealthy and quiet. All is good

Except Annie doesn't seem to be following her own rules??!!?

He glances at her and finds her already staring him up and down; she's very casual in reaching out to "fix" his hair after a gush of wind, she sits a little too close next to him, but when he tries to do something Annie scolds him because he's being too obvious!

And she's right, Annie is very stealthy and it took 3 years for Pieck to even begin to doubt them! So Armin, instead, has to just trust her to know when no one's watching, so maybe, if she's got her fingers in his undercut while they pour over some maps, that means it's safe enough to rest his hand on her hip while they work; if she's standing "too close" that means he can press a quick kiss to her cheek and she'll have to conceal a little giggle

They're a mess but they're able to keep it under wraps for a very long time. Besides, if they go on errands or missions alone (because Armin needs stealth protection, of course, of course) they get to act like a cute little couple down the market streets because no one here knows them!

If someone asks me how work has been lately I just reply, "oh, you know, just working on my spreadsheet" and they laugh like I have just made a funny joke about how so much of work these days is pointlessly futile bureaucracy that slowly hollows out your soul but actually I made up a little game where we try to guess the CMYK values of a colour swatch and we're a couple of months in now and I am, on the clock, slowly building out this very very complicated spreadsheet that will work out for us who, at the end of the year, wins a $20 gift card for the bakery next door.

Convinced 6 months old is the worst age for a puppy to be. I don't think the others were very bad at 6 months, but Melis is bad enough to make up for it.
