if christopher nolan was really the visionary and ground-breaking director everyone claims he is he would have cast ben affleck as penelope

I should be doing more to appreciate the lack of marvel movies in today's popular culture. I once yearned for marvel movies to have this level of irrelevance. They used to feel almost ozymandian, like an empire that had no beginning and no end. and now tony stark iron man is naught but two vast and trunkless legs of stone.

Was trying to make a joke about TV writing to my friend the other day and had to pause and go "...does the phrase 'surf dracula' mean anything to you?"

One of the most important critical texts of this century imo

Amnesty International backing down (hiding its report) when threatened with JKR's lawsuits just shows how weak the liberal human rights framework really is. It never seems to flinch when governments criticize it, but the moment an influential Westerner pushes back, it suddenly loses its nerve.

Inaction is their core philosophy

"Amnesty's position, emblematic of the human rights movement as a whole at that time, was that since human rights violations were a universal evil, wrong in and of themselves, it was not necessary to determine why abuses were taking place but to document them as meticulously and credibly as possible."

ahmed-gaza-celiac

We are "The Noor Shams Team", a grassroots local initiative in the Gaza Strip founded and run by the families of celiac children themselves. The team representative is Ahmed Sabah, a devoted father whose own child is one of these patients battling the disease every day. As parents and relatives, we live this struggle daily. Our mission is strictly humanitarian: providing safe, gluten-free food and essential medical aid to children suffering from Celiac disease.

Under the current catastrophic conditions, access to regular food is nearly impossible—but for Celiac children, eating normal flour or contaminated food is literally life-threatening. It causes severe intestinal damage, malnutrition, and excruciating pain. Gluten-free products are completely unavailable or unaffordable in local markets right now.

Every single donation goes directly to procurement and distribution:

Purchasing certified gluten-free flour and grains.

Preparing and distributing urgent food baskets to registered families.

Ensuring these children survive this crisis without medical complications.

🌟 How you can help:

Even sharing this post helps us reach more hearts!

This blog is new, but Noor Al-Shams Celiac Team has been fundraising on instagram and tiktok before coming here. Their chuffed campaign links to google drive folders with many photos documenting the distribution of gluten-free food purchased with previous donations.

I am not qualified to vet fundraisers, but I think there is more than enough information provided to establish this grassroots group supporting Gazan children with Celiac disease. Please check their documentation for yourself (here and here) and help them out!

Save the children of Gaza suffering from celiac disease

working with kids and one of them says “you know you eat 8 spiders a night on average right?” and another goes “no no no those statistics are actually skewed by people who like eat spiders recreationally for fun and stuff” and my head snapped up like a fucking sleeper agent

it's kinda comforting to me when my friends are a little annoying or longwinded or abrasive or tired and inarticulate, or they don't do the exact politest thing in every interaction, and stuff, because I know I'm sometimes annoying, or take up a more than my share of conversational space, or forget to ask them questions, etc etc, and... like, I'm always working to be nice to my friends and to get better and better at friend-ing, but it just makes me feel more human about it :}

anyway I love you friends plz know I'm not counting, in fact I feel great affection toward you even (especially) when conversations go less than Perfectly Ideal

I'm not proud to say it but this line from a 60 year old detective novel made me re-think some things about friendship

The thing about a good character flaw is that it has to be the same thing as their greatest strength just turned up too high. the person who loves deeply and therefore controls. the person who sees everything and therefore trusts nothing. the person who is so loyal they lose themselves. there are no clean villains and no clean heroes and once you understand that in fiction you can't unsee it in people. everyone is just their best quality at the wrong volume.
