#one day I will pay for my crimes

[inadvisablebutinevitable]

I had to add @odetojupiter’s tags bc these are a masterpiece

I live for additions like this. I can’t wait for the 2006-2007 foxes/ravens lore to go down as one of the pop culture moments ever. I can’t wait for casual American sports enjoyers to watch the 2020 Olympics and obviously cheer for the USA exy team but why are the starting strikers in an interview talking about the mob? About an injury controversy and a lawsuit against some school in West Virginia? About a murder trial involving like 3 of the players? Why is this ancient meme from the late 2000s surfacing again in reaction to this? and then it just becomes rediscovered. All of a sudden skigate is trending on Twitter almost 15 years after the fact, the entire country is buzzing about exy lore from decades ago, emo 13-year olds are watching exy lore deep dives on YouTube and basing their entire personality off of 2010’s Neil Josten bc Edgy. Longtime fox fans are living their best life.

@odetojupiter ur a genius

I’d like to think that when the interviewer is recapping the interview to her cameraman she’s kind of frazzled and just rambling through everything and finally is like, “and then of course there was that random mention that he’s never been skiing, I wonder what that could even be about? The only thing that comes to mind in terms of Kevin Day and skiing is—”

and then she just slaps a hand over her mouth in shock. this interview is live so amidst all the gifs being made of Kevin’s statement, the interviewer’s shock becomes a reaction image and one of the biggest memes in the exy world. For the next couple weeks, whenever a huge announcement is made (USC’s lineup against the foxes, Jean’s transfer, Riko’s death etc…) this image is just all over the internet as a reaction to every news article.

I forgive you. Don't bother.

Her eyes opened and she could feel the sweat beading on her forehead. Will was looking at her with concern, knowing that this was different. “Radio Steve right now. Right now!” she yelled, trying to shake off the pain in her head and get to her feet.

“Nancy? What is it?” Will asked her.

“It’s going to get them and bring them to the Upside Down. It’s going to get them both. Robin and Mike.”

Or, a foe gets even.

Welcome back!

@sweepy-stringbean has worked so hard and put so much time into this incredible piece and this chapter just wouldn't be the same without it. Hell, this fic wouldn't be half as good if it wasn't for all the fantastic art that accompanies it.

Thank you, friend 💜

i kinda love that gavi's return feels a bit like the resurrection of jesus

he heard that as the boundary that it was and nodded, "understood. i will talk to you before i do anything next time." he had long been wondering how best to approach this. approach her. In her grief or pain, Daisuke had never been good at identifying what she was feeling, but he knew how to make her feel it how to make her scream it. They had built their romance on something akin violence, and he would rather lose this for miscalculating then lose her to inaction. he ran his nails likely over the palm of her hand, "you need to stop punishing yourself because you're father doesn't care about you. you just make it hard on the rest of us who do."

literally what i thought when i saw his post like bro IT WAS YOU 😭😭😭

Hi Elp,

So I'd like you to picture Seokmin's arms and those veins.

I have refences for you.

Borrowed yours as well hope you don't mind...ANYWAY!

I'd like for you to imagine missing him for a few days. He's been gone on tour (if we are talking idol au) or he's been on a business trip (non-idol au, I don't discriminate). He comes home and you are still at work. You work so hard. He is so proud of you for that but dammit...he really hoped you be home.

He looks at the time, you'll be driving home in a few minutes. He can wait, right? But the house smells like you. He put his bags down and lays back on the bed and fuck...even his pillows smell like you. Your shampoo and body wash is infused in them. You have been sleeping on his side of the bed. He REALLY missed you.

He feels his jeans getting tighter from just your scent but, then his mind is wandering to all the pictures the two of you exchanged while he was gone to pass the time and to keep you both from feeling too lonely. The jeans were tight and now they are busting.

By the time you walk in the house you are exhausted but also thrilled that Seokmin is home. You have missed him so much. You call out his name but he doesn't answer. Instead you head a soft muffled groan. Following it to the bedroom, all you have to do is push it lightly with your fingers to find your boyfriend laying back with his nose pushed into the pillows. His hand wrapped around his thick, hard cock. His forearm bulging, veins on display as he stokes himself whispering your name.

You don't even want to disturb him at first, just watch him because he looks so good like this. So desperate to finish but, Seokmin arches off the bed and locks eyes with you whining your name and you have no choice but to go to him. How could you refuse those puppy eyes? How could you refuse wrapping your lips around the head of his cock as he strokes his shaft under your mouth?

Locking eyes with him once more is all it takes for Seokmin to lose it. Warm cum fills your mouth and runs down your throat as his free hand slides over the back of your head pulling you closer to him.

So...basically what I'm saying is, Elp. When Seokmin jerks off his veins in his forearms would be glorious to look at.

♥ love you

CLUTCHING MY FUCKING HEAD call me a voyeur but I'd happily watch him pleasure himself he's so pretty *bangs gate of feral jail* YOU'RE SO MEAN TO ME?! I WANT HIM SO BAD THIS IS SO UNFAIR WHY IS MY MOUTH NOT FULL OF SEOK COCK RN?!

[infinitelilith]

Gotta be honest: it's kind of horrifying to see my parents mindlessly watching blatant pro-Israel propaganda made by centrist cowards. To be absolutely clear: what we are currently witnessing is the genocide of the Palestinian people, and to see it as anything less is a crime that future generations will not forgive. There will be a point where everyone realises that Israel is committing unspeakable atrocities; I just pray to god that they'll realise it before it's too late to stop it

I am home from apartment hunting and I would just like to say I am extremely disappointed, as an able-bodied person, to learn only 1 out of the 13 complexes we visited had an elevator.

[shwinlsol]

read my tags, lovely followers. I accidentally wrote a funny idea in there instead of here and I'm too lazy to copy it all down 👍 many thanks

anyways who wants to see a funny TF2 band au sometime in the vaguely near future

[schoolhater]

answering a couple questions i got on this post since i realized ppl genuinely wanna know:

tl;dr:

israel lets very, very little aid get into gaza. even the UN can't get in as much as they want to. funding individual families, gazan led initiatives, and mutual aid collectives operating out of gaza ensures gazans can provide for themselves and pay for the extremely expensive aid that is available.

with all the civil infrastructure destroyed by israel, the situation on the ground has devolved into unrestricted capitalism, driving up the price of aid (that should be free!). this makes it more urgent for people to have funding for daily survival.

the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.

as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.

the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.

ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.

and the municipality of gaza itself is fundraising to rebuild water infrastructure.

all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!

long answers under the cut!

if you wanna donate to a charity that's absolutely fine, but the thing is most charities (and even the UN!) are unable to make it into gaza in the first place, leaving aid rotting at the egyptian side of the border or subject to israeli settler attacks

not to mention, charities and nonprofits also maintain a paternalistic colonial relationship with the indigenous people they are trying to help, determining what aid they need for them instead of returning power to them and letting them make their own choices

i'm not here to say that one option is better than the other, just that they achieve different things and are equally legitimate. there's an attitude among people who question the legitimacy of these gofundme campaigns that somehow the people promoting them are telling them not to donate to charities. nobody is stopping you from donating to charities. we are just asking that you do not dehumanize the very real gazans in your inbox just because their method of asking for aid is more direct and risky.

unfortunately that's exactly what has happened. because israel destroyed all of gaza's more formalized infrastructure, it seems that organized crime and rampant inflation has taken its place. aid is supposed to be free, but in order to save for evacuation or the cost of living, people have started selling them at an inflated price. and aid that is truly free attracts intense, large crowds that are dangerous to navigate.

this was posted on abc a few days ago

it's pure, unrestrained capitalism. i've had multiple palestinians describe this situation to me confidence. that's why everything's so expensive now. why people have to rent out tiny plots of land for their tents to sit on, why my friend @siraj2024 still has to buy tarps to cover the broken windows of the overpriced bombed out apartment he rented, and why a bag of flour can cost a thousand bucks in the north.

even before israel closed and then bombed the rafah crossing, the egyptian hala travel agency was only allowing people to cross the border if they paid a hefty $5000 USD per adult / $2500 USD per child bribe. it denies doing this, but the hundreds of stories from palestinians say otherwise.

with regard to the economy, here in america we saw something similar happen in the wake of hurricane helene and milton. the podcaster margaret killjoy describes how she saw dual economies rise after asheville was fully cut off from the rest of the country - some people offered each other supplies for free in a sort of mutual aid honor system, and some people required payment when they lent supplies because they themselves needed to buy stuff for their families. these dual economies exist in gaza too. and this means they all still need money to survive.

I just had to make so many phone calls today someone PLEASE tell me I'm doing a good job

If you are not on Twitter but are interested in what's going on with Elon Musk's Twitter, never fear, I am back as your Twitter Correspondent.

So, on Thursday, 4/20, Elon removed all the "legacy verified" blue checks. That means that if you are, say, Taylor Swift or the Pope, and you have a blue checkmark because you have proven you identity and want to avoid being impersonated, that check mark went away unless you paid the $8 to subscribe to Twitter Blue.

The assumption was clearly that, despite all their blustering, when push came to shove the power users would nut up and pay for it, if only to avoid their fans being scammed using their likeness.

That didn't happen. As of 4/21, only weirdo Elon stans had blue checks. Those stans immediately got mad, because they had intended to purchase access to an exclusive club, and all the cool kids left as soon as they arrived.

To make matters worse for Elon, several influential shitposters began posting about #BlockTheBlue, a movement to block all paid Twitter bluechecks, and some even released scripts that would automatically block all bluecheck accounts for you.

However, some people retained their blue checks who swore they hadn't paid for them -- in particular, Stephen King and LeBron James, who had tweeted that they would refuse to pay.

Elon admitted that he had paid for these users' blue checks out of his own pocket. Is he trolling? Is it a weird simp move? Hard to say.

Now, as of 4/22, a whole mess of famous people have bluechecks who aren't paying for them. This seems to be a move to confound the automated Block The Blue scripts. Lil Nas X is tweeting angrily about how he doesn't want his blue check. People are speculating that a new policy has been silently rolled out to automatically assign a blue check to every user with over 1 million followers. Several people have pointed out that this amounts to false endorsement, i.e. implying falsely that a notable person uses or endorses your product without their permission, which is a crime. Blue checks have been posthumously assigned to Anthony Bourdain and Terry Pratchett, whose estates my money is on to be the ones to actually sue.

dril, famous shitposter and Block The Blue promoter, keeps being assigned a blue check as an apparent punishment for crossing Elon, but you can lose your blue check by changing your display name. (It seems really wild to tie the blue check to the display name and not use the username, but it became necessary after the era where all those legacy verified folks unleashed their inner Jaboukie and changed their display names to Elon Musk. As recently as last month a legacy verified user with 100k followers got banned for impersonating JK Rowling apologizing to trans people.) So dril just keeps changing his display name every time they bluecheck him. Elon and dril have been engaged in this game of cat and mouse all day. The "Elon bans dril and we all throw trash at him like New Yorkers defending spiderman" meme will probably come to fruition today or tomorrow.

Vent: tw su!cide

I dont knownthat what I do has anay pint to it anymore.

If it's always the same.

I'd like to know why I'm even doing this.

Why.

Is it because i.care. just that much. Yes. Clearly.

I cannot control these parts of me. Parts I've had my whole life. No matter how much I try to change they will never leave me

They are at my core.

All this time I could have been enjoying myself. Wasted away to nothing. Nothing of use to life at this moment.

I have to wait years.

But I am so tired of waiting. If nothing comes to me now why wait.

How can I explain how I feel when nothing I say is something I'm allowed to share.

I m not allowed to share my feelings or the truth. Nothing us here.

It always makes so much sense to me now. For

I don't want to forgive anyone anymore and I hate that I do that.

I hate the way it feels .

Ignored

Confused.

It just doesnt make sense anymore.

My methods are all bad. They are all bad. They don't help.

It just doesn't feel like anything anymore. I've wasted my time.

Learning all these things. I almost fully regret that I did it.

Because it's all pointless. Now.

It would have made a difference but it doesnt.

When I matter. It's almost always for a specific reason.

I'm just so nice so kind so sweet so helpful so great

It hurts me

It all hurts me a lot

And no one cares for the qualities . Not really

They say they do sometimes. But mostly they don't. Not a word is shed. Really ever. And I waste and waste myself. To be there.

Hoping that one day I'll get what I want to. But i don't.

I'm to scared to receive it if it happens too.

It's just waste.

I wish I would never try anymore. And that mattered more then this. That it would all just go away.

I wish sometimes that I could just slip away and that youd never think of me again.

I wish I could start over by never doing anything that I've done.

Youd think that with all this I'd be able to do something. But I cant.

I can't do anything.

All this isn't useful in the real world.

No one cares about this.

If I here one more suicide joke

Its just " I'm going to kill myself". Over and over. All day. I here it at school. And it never leaves .

A constant reminder to myself that no one takes this seriously.

An extension to myself. No one takes me seriously either.

They don't care about my problems because they turn out fine. They don't care. I will be ignored. And turned away from.

I will be told things that don't show in action. Or worse do. With the same execution as usual.
