I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either

[andhumanslovedstories]

Cutting something out of your life because you think you don’t need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let’s say public health and the social safety net and vaccines

I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said “there’s gonna come a time, probably when you’re a teenager, where you’re gonna think, ‘I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I haven’t needed it in years.’ and you’re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess what’s gonna happen then? You’re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and you’re gonna be dying again, and we’re gonna have to find you another liver. So don’t do that.” And I said “why the fuck would anyone do that?” and he said “people are stupid.”

every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or don’t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think “ugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?” and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid

I keep thinking why 7,980 yen? It’s such a specific number? At least to me, and we know that twst loves to hide cute facts and trivia in everything they do.

And then I noticed the “7” and wondered…what if that meant book 7 episode 98…

Oh… 😭😭💞💞

It’s when Malleus hatched, Lilia’s happiest moment. 🥹💚

What if?? I cry?

Edit: I forgot to mention, but every time Hikaru Midorikawa (Lilia’s Va) held Baby Malleus; he said he wanted to cry from the feelings he got 🥹🥹💞💞

Every time he held him, the soundtrack from that scene would play 😭😭💚💚 when’s hes happily holding Baby Malleus.

here’s your reminder that israel has indeed violated the truce. their warplanes have entered the sky space of gaza (reported by hind khoudary & muhammad smiry)

and oppressive forces have also shot at a palestinian man and left him to bleed. then opened fire on anyone who approached the man to help (reported by motaz). there are also testimonies from palestinians that the israeli forces themselves encouraged the people to go help the injured man and then opened fire at them (motaz).

israeli forces have also blocked the entrance of a hospital in jenin, and have killed 3 people and injured 6 others in an open fire during their raid of jenin in the west bank (QudsNews)

meanwhile, israeli hostages that have been released had been forbidden from giving interviews (QudsNews) and there have since been reports that the hostages confirmed they were treated humanely and were not assaulted (source 1, source 2, more healthy israeli hostages)

this ceasefire truly didn’t mean anything. and israel and palestinian resistance clearly do not operate on the same field nor with a balance in power. even during a “truce” they are still oppressing victims.

keep speaking up. contact your reps. protest. boycott following bds guidelines. publicly condemn israel. start conversations and raise awareness. educate yourself and educate others. listen to palestinian voices.

amplify palestinian voices.

"you should be at the club" I can't go to the club I'll be in there saying shit like "perchance" and "thrice"

[tieflingkisser]

it is so disgusting watching other white people reassure each other about taking breaks from social media and "prioritizing your mental health" when literally the one thing Palestinians are asking for more than anything is that people do not look away from what is happening to them

[tieflingkisser]

shockingly on the no reading comprehension site, people have no reading comprehension

did i say "fuck you and your mental health" or did i say that it's disgusting to watch white people reassuring each other about not paying attention to a genocide being enacted in real time (with direct contributions from their own governments in many cases) when that's exactly what the victims are asking for?

[tieflingkisser]

sometimes bad things happen and you will feel bad about it! that is normal and does not mean that you should just ignore them happening! of course you feel sad, it's fucking sad! of course you feel angry, it's fucking horrific and unjust! none of this means you should should look away to remain comfortable and undisturbed

also no one expects you to ignore your own life and be glued to the news 24/7 so stop pretending this is what people mean by "pay attention"

article from 2022, just to put things into perspective:

Over half of Palestinian children in Gaza contemplated suicide, report finds

Save the Children study finds that 80 percent of youths in besieged enclave live in emotional distress amid Israeli blockade and repeated mi

Over half of Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip have had suicidal thoughts in the past year, according to a report published by Save the Children on Wednesday. [...] Around 55 percent of children have contemplated suicide, while three out of five children have self-harmed, Save the Children revealed. [...] A report from Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor last year found that nine out of 10 children in Gaza suffered from some form of conflict-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). [...] Around 59 percent of caregivers documented an increase in youths experiencing difficulty in speech, language and communication, while 96 percent said they themselves felt unhappy and constantly anxious. “The children we spoke to for this report described living in a perpetual state of fear, worry, sadness and grief, waiting for the next round of violence to erupt, and feeling unable to sleep or concentrate,” said Jason Lee, director for Save the Children in the occupied Palestinian territories. “The physical evidence of their distress – bedwetting, loss of ability to speak or to complete basic tasks – is shocking and should serve as a wakeup call to the international community.”

It's also worth pointing out that Ukraine has a population of 43 million, while Gaza's is only a little over 2 million

And yet...

I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.

And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 227-228.)

“This Belle Epoque opal and diamond choker was made at the turn of the century, in 1900. Four incredible rows of glimmering, pastel-hued opals alternate with three rows of sparkling diamond-set flowers, each centered with a lustrous natural seed pearl. These are bordered at top and bottom by a row of pearls. The flowers are set in platinum, the opals in 18 karat yellow gold.”

layu

mungkin memang aku sudah layu. karena merasa telah banyak berupaya namun belum mendapat. meski besaran upaya lagi-lagi tergantung sudut pandang.

mungkin memang aku sudah layu. karena merasa telah banyak waktu terlalui namun belum melangkah maju. meski besaran waktu sebetulnya hanya penilaian manusia.

mungkin memang aku sudah layu. karena merasa telah banyak meratap namun belum dikasihani. meski besarnya ratapan tidak menggambarkan kepasrahan.

mungkin sebenarnya aku belum berserah.
