my box set came in it's so beautiful raahgahgahhhllhlgh I'll post stay later when I listen to it and the live record <3 but I currently must embroider, only 19 days left until my ritual
something i did like about my original story for my ship was the idea of us getting stuck together in a place for an undetermined amount of time being the only way we would actually broach the tension and confess feelings so i'm trying to cook up a way that could happen in my lore now ehe
A collection of Festival of Thrills images! More coming over the course of this month. The lore surrounding this event is Phenomenal and I'm having a fantastic time!
having jewish family from n iraq general area is very strange. n iraq area is a bit of an outlier from its neighbors people group-wise because it’s often kurd = muslim; arab = muslim also; assyrian = christian (or at least an overwhelming amount of christians are assyrian); yazidi = yazidi; but jews are called ‘kurdish jews’? they probably just got that label because they were in the area (some have ‘tribal’ last names if they were from the literal towns the tribes got their names from), but for example syrian jews who lived in aleppo/damascus and spoke arabic are called syrian jews, some people use “arab jew” but afaik most don’t
in that context “kurdish jew” seems a little...misleading? “assyrian jew” is too, they were both religious minorities and spoke aramaic but jews have a separate history (and due to current politics it feels insensitive but idk.) and both of those can be used by israeli govt stuff for propaganda purposes, so looking into sources for this is nigh impossible. tbh i prefer ‘mesopotamian jew’
I hate going to Christian-based hospitals. There's a bible verse slide show on the screens that other places usually have medical information graphics and resources on and I just got asked "Do you have a source of peace in your life?" like babygirl I'm here for neurological pain my source of peace is Lidocaine 4% and a heating pad
So since I haven’t been on tumblr for so long, let me inform you that I got my first full time job in a fashion pr agency, almost got kicked out of uni for my political views, but still got my master’s degree and survived a half assed military coup. How are you spending your early 20s?
today is the day i found out about unit 731. as i scrolled down the wikipedia page - gosh, and to think it all started from a random reference in an instagram reel! - scrolled past paragraphs of paragraphs of testimonies of descriptions of gruesome tortures and experimentation literal tears of shock and horror came to my eyes and when those subsided i filled with a furious, furious, furious rage and i am still fuming.
and my only question is, why don't people talk about this.
like yes! we all know about the Nazis and their horrific gas chambers but this - the experimentation and gruesome killings of almost three hundred thousand men, women, children - how does no one know about? we need dialogue and we NEED accountability and it makes my blood absolutely boil to keep discovering these ugly parts of history that everyone is eager to tuck away bcs it is so, so, so ugly and shocking and i literally cannot comprehend how some humans can be so good and kind and some are ??
how depraved and inhumane must you be to commit such atrocities so coldheartedly and mechanically for "research" (and here i would list them but i'm afraid tumblr will censor) and how disgustingly greedy and self-interested and pitiless must you be to grant immunities and pardons to the perpetrators for the sake of acquiring that research !!!!!
