My job interview is tomorrow and they'll probably review my documents in the following weeks. If you could spare a second, check out my art acc @little_blue_cup on insta and leave a like/follow if you see something you enjoy, I'd be super grateful. Its rough out here for small artists and its my dream job.

Plus there are tumblr appropriate bad puns in the captions 9/10 times.

Anyways, have a nice day and thank you for all the support I got on here!

Consider this scenario: Suppose you wake up tomorrow and there are two timelines, they are exactly the same- exact same external stimuli, people will say and do the exact same thing at the same time, and everything will happen as prescheduled- with the exception of you having free will. You can decide at any moment to skip work, what clothes you choose to wear in the morning, make or pick up a coffee on your commute. You are the only free agent in this scenario, but you are unaware of the separate timeline. With your external stimuli being one for one in both timelines and you starting at the same emotional/physical/mental state when you wake up:

If anyone ever saved this mashup to their computer and has this file... I have been looking for it for years. I am desperate. I sing it every single time I sing both of these songs. It haunts me in the night. This mashup is TOP TIER and I cannot cope with a.) the amount of hours I have spent unsuccessfully trying to locate it, and b.) the idea of never hearing it again.

I don't think there's a way to make it work on the internet itself (I have tried), but I know someone out there must've downloaded it to their iTunes and may still have it.

This is amazing! (x)

BOOK ENTHUSIASTS PLS HELP ME

I have been trying to find this one book I read back in middle school and I cannot for the love of everything remember anything besides part of the plot. I would love to find it before I cannot remember a single thing about it (SPOILERS UP AHEAD)

I am pretty sure it was about a young teenage girl who’s father was unalived by these men who broke into their house (I think they were soldiers? And also she had lived in a very fairly big house too) and was to be sent to live with her aunt. She didn’t want to leave but was forced to. The person who took her to the train station had lost her in the crowd and she ended up meeting a slightly older teenage boy who had hopped into the baggage car on a random train. She ends up following after him and ditches the idea of having to live with someone she didn’t want to live with for a homeless boy who played the harmonica. He’s a bit rough around the edges, but he takes care of her as best he can and teaches her how to live in this world. (I think they had a 3rd companion as well, but it’s been a few years and I’m not sure) As time goes on, he gets more and more sick. The winter cold finally getting the best of him and he (SPOILER) ends up dying. She stands over his grave and brings his harmonica up to her lips and begins playing Amazing Grace bc that was his favorite song. Soon after, she ends up traveling to the town where her aunt lives and she sees the life she could have had if she had stayed to the original plan. Her aunt doesn’t know who she is and she never tells her and she goes on to live her life just as the boy she met taught her

Please please PLEASE tell me I didn’t make this book up! I remember having the book in my hands and reading it during my English/Literature class! I’ve been dying to find this book just to reread it all over again and get those feelings back! Please help me find this book!!!

Hello again and a big thank you to everyone who liked and reblogged my last post!

My instagram art account (@little_blue_cup) is now up to 545 followers!!! I'm super grateful to ya'll and will post to let you know if I got the job or not, thank you for your support either way!!!

~Though if I could make it to 1k before October that would actually be incredible~

[i-wuv-kaz]

Why not let them?

Wouldn’t it be fun if the internet did its thing like goncharov and made trump supporters believe if enough people write trump on their voting ballots he will be president even if he’s not officially a candidate and even if he’s in jail (presidential immunity jadda jadda).

Then all the nutcases would throw away their votes instead of giving it to the asshole next in line for republican candidate.

[its-all-down-hill]

This is the saddest, most fucked up thing I’ve seen on the Internet. If that woman in the profile really did this then I hope the Internet serves it to her right and proper!  What a selfish bitch. She’s a horrible mother.

What I learned on Tumblr today is--

[elodieunderglass]

is PCRF still where you recommend people donate, or do you have another recommended group? I would like to donate but haven’t had time to do research.

(In reference to fundraising campaign I did for PCRF)

One of the most important things I have learned about conflict and healthcare and devastation, from someone who deals with them for their living, is that it is fractal, each piece of it containing unimaginable complexity, and that as a human you can’t really deal much with fractals that get more complex than, like, ferns. I am oversimplifying here. But the thing is that you cannot get bogged down endlessly in debating the nature of fractals. You decide on the level of complexity you can manage , perform an action and move on. You cannot take responsibility for every mathematical pattern that follows from your action; if you were a sort of cosmic weatherman, affecting the fates of people you’ve never met through some vague alchemy of intention, you’d know about it already. Therefore do not obsess too much over The Good Place levels of ethics and research, spiralling into fractals in search of the perfect. Therefore, also, if you want to give £2 to someone, feel free to ignore people who say “ah but if you give £2 to that guy they’ll spend it on something bad, and the whole fractal is rotten and broken.” You can only ever claim your own actions, a small piece of the fractal: to insist on your power over distant pieces of mathematical patterns is bonkers. It is religious nonsense. This is what I’ve learned and I thought it was pretty good, from someone who’d know.

So I believe the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund is not able to operate in Gaza at the moment, like many non-profits; I believe Medeciens Sans Frontiers aren’t in Gaza at the moment and that’s pretty dire indicator. However, they are mobilised in Lebanon.

The reasons why I selected PCRF to support include the fact that they have been able to deliver material aid, had pragmatic routes to evacuate children, and were reporting some success in providing/stabilising healthcare infrastructure. They have stated from the beginning that their intent was to support, and ideally restore, healthcare infrastructure, without which you cannot run a nation. I have known healthcare professionals who traveled with PCRF to work on complex cases prior to this conflict and I personally know/respect one of their prominent supporters, which helped me to make this choice. I also was hoping in the future that Gaza would have restored healthcare infrastructure and PCRF had stated their commitment to doing so.

I have received and listened to criticism about this choice, and I firmly believe that no matter what choice you make to support a cause, you’ll receive some measure of criticism (the fractal! Elodie you must consider the fractal nature of reality at all times! Scrupulous frantic morality is necessary at all times !), and that this should not stop you. To explain a bit about this, the criticisms I’ve received have mostly fallen into two camps:

- “the wrong sort of charity” - one concern is PCRF are not able to promise that their work will never support Hamas supporters or their families. This has been raised as “PCRF support Hamas”. but genuinely, given the realities of conflict, it is not practical or sane to require that people bring proof of political affiliation when seeking healthcare for their children. I’m comfortable saying that this, like other risks of fundraising/donation, is always possible but not a major consideration for me.

- “the wrong sort of fundraiser” - conversely some people stated they’d prefer I support individual families seeking evacuation through GFMs. This is also fine but my choice in the charity was partly in thinking about families who do not have GFMs, and children who do not have families. I also felt, at the time of fundraising, that supporting healthcare infrastructure was very worthy in a different way - after all, at the time the same people doing GFMs were also using/needing what healthcare was available.

My shoulders are broad, and I’m comfortable with these criticism. I am fully aware that this is not a complete solution but I personally continue to support the charity. I am explaining this to indicate that there will always be criticisms; you must accept that you can only take a small piece of the fractal, and you must accept that quite a lot of the fractal was never in your gift to control.

The situation is constantly changing and with the departure of organisations there is genuinely less hope of materially restoring the infrastructure in Gaza. At the moment donations to PCRF will likely be mobilised to Lebanon. It may be that this speaks to you. It does still speak to me.

Ultimately while it’s important to do research, it is always going to become fractal, especially in conflict situations. Nobody’s ever going to be able to point to a perfect thing that will fix everything and absolve us of criticism, you know? You will always only be able to pick up a piece of the fractal.

Now moving away from “what I personally support” there are many people more informed than myself and I would like to direct you to them as well. @gothhabiba is someone I follow who has posted several very useful posts about this and has been extremely informative, and spent a lot of time and attention on this, so I would defer to the resources and fundraisers they’ve put together. Her response to a similar question has been “pick 1-3 personal fundraisers” - this is a piece of the fractal. At the moment if what you want to do most is “materially help people in Gaza” that seems like the best option.

Also he doesn’t post much on social media, but when you get the opportunity to read a scientific article or anything by https://x.com/sullivanprof it’s worth stopping and processing. To me, Richard’s life work really shows how a piece of the fractal unpacks to reveal the whole world. I think if you have emotional space to research, it’s honestly a good investment to read some of his “manifestos” on intersections of healthcare and conflict.
