shannon i don’t think he wants to be home for the holidays. in fact he’ll probably run farther away. somehow

it's weird to me that online content on foraging and camp/ bushcraft cooking never seem to overlap, at least not that I've ever found?? foraging recipes are always like 'wild mushroom risotto with chardonnay and arborio rice' and bushcraft cooking is always like 'first, unpack your ribeye you brought from home--' like what is going on here, surely 'guy who wants to camp out and cook over a fire' and 'guy who wants to eat some plants they found in the woods' cannot be completely separate venn diagram circles

the dark evil wizards have afflicted me with a hyperspecific interpretation of killuas "moral conflict" which leaves a lot of fan content that tries to engage with it unsatisfying. a wicked and foul hex indeed

I love psychology actually

but doesn’t mean I have to love everything done in that field or even see it as good or ethical

or assume everything done under that label is well thought out

Every time I see anything about Europeans not having screens on their windows I remember that one post “this is why you got the plague”. I cannot read anything about Europe and window screens without remembering that post, and honestly, I am still confused as to why people there don’t have screens

the mixture of "body has always hurt and heart has always been a little too fast with exercise" and "quarantine which meant i didnt go anywhere or do anything" and "my friends are all in college so i dont have anyone to hang out with and i Hate being Outside Alone" and "mentally illness" and "its been a really hot summer and the heat makes me feel like im gonna keel over and die on the sidewalk" has really ravaged my body. but they dont know. i dont know how to start slow about it like the people say

Also a lot, and I mean a lot of people supporting Palestine aren't overprivileged (in fact many against it are powerful figures- look at how many rich celebrities are anti Palestine). Genocidal bootlickers write off supporters as upper middle class whiny little white kids when so many aren't- not to mention there's a strong history of black and Palestinian solidarity. Malcolm X was a well known supporter of Palestine in the civil rights era and personally visited Gaza, and also met with the The Palestinian Liberation Organization. Black activists supported Palestine so to continuously write off supporters as bratty stupid white kids hopping on a trend erases that history. Which is what colonialism is best for, hence the unity in anti colonialism and anti racism. It matters to me for the same reasons it mattered to my ancestors and relatives. Not that it needs to- plenty of people can be decent without those historical ties. But to reduce it to a trend and erase that history is deplorable and very much racist. These communities have a strong historical solidarity

Many poc know the immense weight of the racist reblogs in most posts like this (its even in the reblogs here and its not like op cares to comment on it so i can only imagine they agree. i wouldn't be silent on that shit idk) calling Arabs things like goat/donkey fuckers- which is how all of you sound btw. And you can't go "oh they're just saying that about Hamas!" because where are they getting that generalization from? Pretty sure it's the racist stereotype that Arabs all partake in bestiality. And there's also a lot of weight in calling them things like animals, children of darkness, beasts, and savages, more weight than some realize.

Painting a group as sexually predatory and deviant to dehumanize them is something very often used to justify killing them. Gay people, trans people, black people, Native Americans. Maybe you don't think about the claims of black people being "super predators", don't think about people like Emmett Till or events like the Duluth lynchings when you hear that kind of shit and see that image painted of a people, plenty of us do though. The language we hear every day by people on this side of history is language we've never heard from people on the good side of history. Never.

Do the good guys use words like savages? Goat/donkey fuckers, beasts, animals, people of darkness, inhuman, monkeys, sand people (or sand n*ggers if you're feeling spicy), pigs, bloodthirsty, collateral damage (in reference to human lives)? You got anything like that for me written by the good guys in history? The ones that weren't the oppressors and aggressors? Did the oppressed need to "defend" themselves by committing crimes against humanity?

The justifications for occupying Gaza and the actions taken against innocents mirror stories I've heard passed down from formerly enslaved family members during WW2. How Hitler and other figures spoke of them, treated them, dehumanized them, assaulted them, tortured them, exterminated them. The atrocities I see coming out of Gaza are often similar to events I've heard out of the mouths of people who survived genocides. So yeah it's not like there aren't white people who also see what's going on and can't help but think back to injustices their people have faced. So again even though it's not like that generational trauma is required, you can't generalize white supporters as all performative or stupid. And plenty of Jewish people recognize what genocide looks like for obvious reasons and stand by Palestine

Also if protesting were pointless they wouldn't be trying to illegalize boycotting businesses! They're shitting their britches actually! Look at all the Starbucks closing down and all their new "holiday deals". Look at the prices of Squishmallows right now. Public protests get a lot of coverage and show just how many people strongly advocate for the liberation. People on your side of history are no different from the people who have told my people (from multiple lineages) to shut up, obey, be good, accept the lynchings and the injustice and the slavery, they're all bad and all the oppressors are doing is putting them in their place and/or defending themselves against animals. Savages unworthy of dignity

You also can't dismiss all criticism of the Israeli government's actions against Palestine as antisemitism. Any government deemed exempt from criticism deserves the most criticism. You can't dismiss criticism as if it's all coming from a place of ignorance, ignoring the context of so many people's advocacy. I don't support Palestine for followers or praise or whatever, just the right thing to do. When I see what's happening I do this crazy radical thing called having some fucking humanity. Try it sometime, it's free

I'd make sure another October 7th doesn't happen by not occupying Palestine anymore, personally

My last post on this didn’t get a ton of traction so I’m trying again. The latest budget proposal for NYC includes a $58.3 million cut to public libraries.

Previous cuts forced NYC public libraries to close on Sundays, and this further round of cuts would likely force libraries to end weekend service entirely. Additionally, it would mean further cuts to programming and the indefinite delay of reopening libraries that have been closed for renovation, which would leave entire neighborhoods without a library.

There is a preliminary budget hearing on May 21, and until then libraries are asking people to sign a letter here to urge the mayor’s office and city council to reverse the cuts.

I know things are terrible in a lot of ways right now and people probably feel overwhelmed and burnt out, but signing this letter (or reblogging this post) is a small, quick, concrete way to make a difference.

Susan's what if scene in s6e11 makes so absolutely sick, nauseous and angry.

I'm sorry I don't get why it matters if my team dusts the tops of the platforms the orchids sit on when no one can see the tops of the platforms unless they're stupidly tall, and especially when the stupid floor polishers and general maintenance literally push dust and dirt and debris down from the Cafe area onto those platforms every single day. 'It should be easy to do' okay then, you do it then. I said 'we're trying' because it is impossible to keep up with bc if we haven't done that day's dusting yet when store leadership get step stools and peer at the platform tops to see if we've cleaned they obvs will look dirty, and bc ive either been out sick, doing inventory, or HELPING YOUR DEPARTMENT for the past 2 weeks. Sorry yeah I have '3 full time tms' in floral but even when all 3 of us are here u don't LET ME HAVE ALL 3 OF US! And if a day is me and one tm, and I'm sick/unable to come in,then it's just the one tm doing everything, or if they call out and it's just me, etc - how is one person supposed to do EVERYTHING and Not go overtime or take their break late??? Ffs. And again, recently I've been in produce more often than floral. Yeah 'helping' ok but if I said we couldn't bc we have to dust the p.o.p areas u'd be annoyed to say the least..........
