its weird how as israelis, or even just as jews in general, as soon as you extend sympathy towards the people who were massacred on october 7th u immediately get blamed for "supporting israel" and "not holding your state accountable".

when its like. WE are the ones who have been fighting non-stop to make our government and military officials take responsibility for this. WE have been begging our leaders to take accountability while u guys are sitting there overseas typing out shit like "its actually okay to murder babies as long as theyre settler babies"

"...woah!"

(They notice the loud thwack at their doorstep, and rush to open it.)

"Oh! It's you, hey Marko!"

au where fadel has a cooking blog under a fake name where he posts his recipes. every entry has that typical long, oddly personal introduction, except he assumes no one ever reads them anyway so he uses it as a diary of sorts. like, "growing up, mother would often be gone for weeks at a time, unless it was time for my younger brother and i to train to become assassins, so i was the one to cook in our household most of the time. this is the dish i would make on the days when i had no energy to cook after spending them at the shooting range" or "i developed this recipe for my late boyfriend a few years ago. he was the love of my life, so it really hurt me when i had to kill him on mother's orders, and i haven't made this dish again since then, but it's honestly a really good recipe and it would be a shame not to share it".

at some point, someone posts about it on twitter and it goes viral. people think it's just a very good bit and the author is extremely committed to it, because through the pieces of information you can actually piece together a full story of his life since childhood to most recent events, and it's so bizarre that no one considers it could be anything but a creative writing exercise for a bored housewife whose name he publishes under. that is, until someone accidentally remembers that a recent recipe on that one cooking blog had a story scarily similar to the assassination they're just hearing about on the news now, and people start connecting the blog posts to other unsolved assassinations. in the end, the consensus is that this is either a very dedicated expert in politics who is coincidentally crazy enough to cosplay as a killer in a niche cooking blog, or someone who knows enough about the mechanics of political killings to accidentally predict things. anyone who thinks the infamous assassin who's managed to escape dozens of times is writing about this on a public blog in his free time is treated as a conspiracy theorist, because, really, you have to be stupid to think that.

Excuse me?? What do you MEAN my country won't be getting the movie until January 2nd!? That's two whole weeks after everyone else!

So much of the fun comes from being able to discuss it with others, I'm going to be late to the party and no one will care. Not to mention I'm totally going to get spoiled. This sucks...

[Suddenly, behind Ford, a Gardevoir--to him, he'd likely say that it looks like an ethereal woman with green hair and a white dress--teleports into existence, her arms folded disapprovingly.]

Hello there. [Her voice rings telepathically through the area.]

(He immediately straightens up, whips around and stares at the Gardevoir with a mix of confusion and surprise.)

"Where did you come from?"

(He really does look exhausted, his stance unstable no matter how many times he tries to adjust.)

I am constantly torn between sharing myself, my art, my thoughts on the internet and between going completely offline, dumb phone, no apps, hermit style.

i am craving the community of likeminded people that social media has started to offer me but with gigantic companies, ai, no privacy and also no chance to be discovered or actually connected it feels useless to try to share.

i wish the internet was different. i know there are good aspects about it but i think the whole industry is getting more flat and uninteresting because it becomes increasingly difficult to find real peole with stories and things that interest me.

and that whole crisis is besides what social media is doing to my brain. i have been online for over 13 years now, i have been using instagram for 8, tiktok for 3. and i can FEEL the difference every single of these social media apps has been having on my brain.

now i have been off social media for 3 weeks, except work related stuff i had to post/communicate the last two days. my brain has never felt happier (even though i had a little depresso episode) than while not being bombarded with content all the time. the last two days interacting online have been exhausting.

and not to say that i have been completely offline in these 3 weeks. as you can see i scream into the void on here and check my notifs for 15 minutes and reblog some stuff but then I GET OUTTA HERE and i love that. i have been watching youtube and it feels like all those years ago when i started watching videos on there: it feels new and like i actually benefit from what i am seeing. it doesn't send me into a spiral.

the problem with all of this is this: everyone is using xyz because everyone is using xyz. everyone is using whatsapp instead of more secure messaging apps because everyone ELSE is already using it. how can you stop being online if everyone else is always online? deleting instagram makes me lose contacts, snapchat that one friend...?

it's a dilemma that i feel like i cannot work throug atm. i am conflicted and feel like retreating from the world would benefit me while it also feels like an unhealthy response. what is your take on this?
