#its our world

[couldthatreallyhavebeenit]

i would like to make it abundantly clear that in the current state of the world that we live in, food is, sadly, unable to be treated as "just food" without any space for nuance.

yes, it is and should be treated as "just food" in the sense that it is a basic human right and a physiological need for all humans. it is something that all need and all should have.

however, in this day and age, food is used as a tool of control and power. millions and millions of people have no access to it, as much of it as we have. entire families are being starved out, mothers are dying in order for their children to eat, there is violence and atrocities being committed so someone can have something to eat for the week, people are being denied food because of who they are.

how hard is it to see the luck and privilege of being able to go out and have a burger? how hard is it to stop thinking about yourself for one second and use the money you have lying around, whatever insignificant change you have, and do something to help someone else eat? a few cents in dollars or euros or pounds is gold in other countries.

if you think you cant help, than you are so wrong. kindness begets kindness begets kindness, and so on. dont loose faith in humanity so fast. dont loose hope. remember that the food you put in your mouth is the same food that others eat, and, if you can afford it, buy a bit extra, give it to your local shelters, or donate that bit extra to whatever charity you can reach. if you have some to spare, donate your time and energy to helping out where you can; charities, schools, libraries, shelters, wherever.

im going to quote, roughly and translated, the founder of a local non-profit that made one of the most beautiful speeches i have ever heard: we help, with the kindness and the love of a five year old child.

when food stops being just food, when trivial things start being a privilege, thats when you make the biggest difference. dont belittle your own existence, dont think low of your own power.

chocolate hues roll in slight arisen annoyance , but in truth it's more due to the situation itself that bothers her than him . after all , he's trying to help . lana gives him a nod , the smart key waggling in between her fingers that she raises for him to see . from then on she's silent , observing what he's doing in both awe & general curiosity considering she got no idea whatsoever on what's going on . the whole thing looks impossible to do , but then ... a surprise twist of events as they both hear the car unlock . “ wait , “ lips start to form a smile , but she's very much surprised . “ you're serious ? but — “ disbelief is evident on her features as she gasps , hands coming together . “ that actually worked ?? “ now she's smiling big , before picking up the gym bag from the ground . moving forward , free hand moves up to pat his cheek , pinching it . “ you're such a nice boy , kai ! who would've thought you had this in you , “ the dancer gives him a wink , tossing her gym bag in the back before motioning for him to get in too . “ get in , my prince , “ she's teasing him , but genuinely feels grateful for what he's done .

" oh, i'm sure it would, " he retorts with a light air of sarcasm as she mentions her brilliant mind. kai was never a person who took much interest in school, music and poetry his main interests. a lot of his spare time in his younger days spent learning to do what seemed like pretty useless shit. but along the way, he picked up some unorthodox tricks to keep up his sleeve. sometimes they came in handy. " smart key, right ? " he double checks. technology, whilst advance, could still be tricked at times. " alright, let's see, " words are spoken mostly to himself as he digs into his pocket, pulls out his wallet. locates an old card he no longer requires. isn't long before he's wedging it into the small gap between the handle and the frame. there's a few careful swipes up and down, with no result. it's then he begins to move it in a much faster motion, movements rapid. just when it seems like he may have to embarrassingly admit defeat, he hears the familiar sound as the door unlocks. a crooked grin spreads as he stands up, card still slotted between his fingers. " well, shit, turns out i'm not useless after all. my dad'll be so proud. guess this means my chariot awaits ? " though really, he doesn't mind walking home.

no ai generated content will ever compare to the absolutely cartoonishly evil plot to cut down trees to prevent workers from striking to get livable wage.

IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

the interesting thing is that when you say things like 'the united states is beyond saving' people view that as a defeatist statement that is giving up on the hope of a better future, but frankly the thought of a significant number of people on the planet being willing and able to say that there is no place for colonial empires in their vision for the future is, to me, a much brighter and more hopeful political standpoint than the thought of being stuck in a perpetual cycle of choosing 'the lesser of two evils' as the overton window pushes further and further to the right with nothing but enthusiasm from our so-called progressive party.

Based on the Never Have I Ever asks, Corona, you didn't invite Judith to this party???

cameo rundown: judith doesnt like parties. marta however, does a good kegstand when persuaded. silas was not invited. butter/wilson has retreated to take a nap. you, the readers, have officially met pash - but noone particularly wants to hang out with her, and she is not easy to find again. hope you all enjoyed these boats crossing in the night

and if I said that dennis’ insistence on being the breadwinner/provider despite literally being a pampered princess who dgaf about traditional roles of masculinity in every other regard (aside from ego) is because his mom only stayed with/chose frank for his wealth and dennis is highly aware that he’s difficult to love and unable to show his emotions openly so he has to be contributing something to the relationship materially in order to feel like he’s worth staying for… and mac grew up with parents who were extremely ambivalent to him and eachother so he has to overcompensate by proving his worth at every given moment and seeking praise/validation from people (and religious icons) who will never demonstrate the same amount of dedication to him but he has no idea how else to desperately keep himself close to those he loves other than by eroding himself into something they’ll approve of… dear god they’re both exactly what the other needs — someone who can’t and won’t leave them even if they try — and they don’t even see it…

i say this as a buddie and bucktommy shipper but also fundamentally i say this as a performing artist: i cannot imagine being an artist whose breakout role has been an anchor character for eight seasons on a huge network show and the only fucking interview questions i get asked are about which of my colleague’s characters i’m kissing or not kissing. he should be allowed to bite people perhaps maim them a bit

Okay, i have a proposition for you guys

would you be interested in taking part on playing something similar to those choose your adventure type of games but through polls?

me and my friend are planning on making an oc blog based off of that and it's just a slay the princess au but our ocs (and the lore and everything else are different so it's not the exact copy of slay the princess)

you don't need to know everything about our ocs or anything what matters is that you get to have fun choosing and exploring different possibilities on how each routes would go ^^ !!

it wouldn't be in this type of lineless style like you see here it'll just have this more sketchy-like style like STP no release of date on when the blog would be publicly available yet we're still currently working on it!
