John Cage, A Year From Monday

[hypokeimena]

image: photo of text reading: Once when I was in Ann Arbor with Alexander Smith, I said that one of the things I liked about botany was that it was free of the jealousies and selfish feelings that plague the arts, that I would for that reason, if for no other, given my life to live over again, be a botanist rather than a musician. He said, "That shows how little you know about botany." Later in the conversation I happened to mention the name of a mycologist connected with another Midwestern university. Incisively, Smith said, "Do not mention that man's name in my house." /end ID

it's such a sadness to me that kids eventually lose that 'no filter' thing when they grow up. my niece asked what 9/11 is and someone explained it to her and her unfiltered conclusion was "bro. is that it"

I hate when I open a drawing app and try drawing something and then it looks bad. to solve this issue instead of opening my drawing app I simply lay down, do nothing, and feel a combination of guilt/shame. this is a skill I am much more practiced at

[kaiseaya]

[i-am-a-fish]

wait, so it's like gambling?

[crazydoodlez]

it appears so!

[i-am-a-fish]

Lmao fun for all the Czech tumblrinas

hornet... girl... come on

[wordwizards]

You go into a creepy mansion and there's a cloaked figure learning how to play the organ from a YouTube tutorial on their phone. You leave them to it.

[bloggerihardlyknower]

I want this to be an Easter egg for speed runners in a video game. You normally find the boss playing the organ if you play for the normal like 20+ hours that you would be required in a standard playthrough, but if you horse tilt noclip through the castle in BK mode you find the boss taking a piano lesson.

never thought i’d be saying this as a nepali person but the rest of the world has a lot to learn from nepal when it comes to revolution lol

[seongpinkhwa]

young people literally spent two days showing the full force of their wrath against a horrific, corrupt system run by politicians that embezzled away every single cent of citizen money. they protested, and when the cops turned to violence, they did too. many of the biggest and most corrupt politicians (including the prime minister) were forced to resign, had their houses swarmed by crowds of furious people, were beat within an inch of their lives, and had their money thrown out onto the streets.

real, actual change is on the way in a country plagued by exploitation and poverty and corruption for DECADES because the population rallied together behind the sheer force of the young population and their anger - so much so that it’s being called the gen z revolution. THIS is how revolutions come about when every attempt to use peaceful means is met with bullets and suppression and social media bans in an effort to shut people up. and i think the west has a lot to learn about what true revolution and true progression is, because the way that our political discourse is so weak and watered down and pushed to be ‘friendly’ and ‘understanding’ is so pathetic at times. THERE IS NO NEGOTIATING WITH YOUR OPPRESSORS.

[seongpinkhwa]

'all forms of political violence is bad' read it and weep losers

[somesecretpie]

Played a bit of Silksong last night and I’m noticing some pretty big plot holes already. In Hollow Knight, Hornet is a self-assured badass who is very handy with her needle. But in Silksong, her character totally changed into a fresh idiot who loves jumping into spike pits.

Me when i run straight into lava for the 10th time, still not used to the controls: "sorry hornet this is all a fever dream trust pls"

"you don't need to go on hormones to be trans" is true but not an appropriate thing to say to someone who is seeking hormones. "asexuals can have sex too" is true but not an appropriate thing to say to an asexual who doesn't want to have sex. etc etc etc. idk why it's so hard for people to get their head around this one. read the room dude.

[balaclava-trismegistus]

"An insult to practically everybody with any point of view at all" one of the most beautiful sentences possible with the English language.

[ghoulvalentines]

nothing could have prepared me for the context

Gaza Soup Kitchen is still running and feeding people in Gaza City!

Right now we have 7 kitchens running in and around Gaza City, 5 water trucks delivering fresh water every morning, and our health clinic is still seeing patients. Sadly, our classroom was bombed—but we’ve pivoted to something bigger: Delivered 4,250 food parcels so far; another 2,550 parcels ready to go; in the middle area, we delivered 600 parcels and opened a new kitchen; we keep showing up for hospitals with meals. Each food parcel = 40–60 meals. It’s not just about helping one family—it feeds whole networks of relatives, neighbors, and displaced people. In doing this, we’re also showing the world (and the bad actors watching us) that you can give away a lot of food in Gaza without harming Palestinians. Our signage makes that crystal clear. One moving moment: we’ve been operating from inside an Orthodox and Catholic church. Families shelter there, and they benefit from the food too. Our young team—many who had never met a Christian before—are learning about unity and friendship in real time. Feeding people from a church feels like something Jesus himself would have blessed. We hear the drones above us, and we know they don’t like what we’re doing. But we’ll keep feeding as long as we’re allowed. Our system works: families sign up on a link, we close it when full, assemble the food, and text pickup times. No chaos, no exploitation—just neighbors helping neighbors. Each distribution serves 500–1,000 people with dignity.

Help Mais Family in Gaza

 

[ahmad-ziyad]

You may have heard about what’s happening in Gaza right now. The occupation is bombing towers and homes endlessly, forcing families to flee. The sound of explosions never stops, and fear surrounds us everywhere. There is no safe place left, and we don’t know where to turn. We are told to move south, but the cost of displacement is far beyond what we can afford. All I want is to protect my family, but I don’t have the means. Please, try to feel what we are living through — this reality is harsher than you can imagine.

Your donation could be the reason my family survives and finds safety. Please don’t turn away; we truly need your support.
