The cuts, the slow ramp-ups, how it matches his dance moves.

And then when the IDF gets through murdering the people of Gaza, they will say, "Umm, actually, most of the deaths were from disease and malnutrition, not bombing," as if disease and malnutrition were just things that randomly happened and not intentionally engineered by cutting off the power and blockading the port and bombing the hospitals; as if the whole entire point of this "war" wasn't to make Gaza so unlivable that the people there either have to flee to Egypt or die so that you can bulldoze their homes and put up some fucking strip malls in your tacky, illegal, suburban US-style settlements

maybe its just me, but i feel like theres something threatening implied in genocide joe saying that isreal is the only safe place for jews

[deqdyke]

The inverse of the Zionist talking point that Israel is necessary for Jews to be safe is that no where else will ever be safe for Jews. Israel has a vested interest in the continued existence of antisemitism against diasporic Jews. That's why Biden said that in the context of describing himself as a Zionist.

Zionism is an answer to the Jewish question. What do you do about Jews and antisemites both being in your country? Deport your fucking Jews. Or at least make life miserable enough for them that they leave.

Zionism confronts the age-old canard of dual loyalties and Jews' inherent incompatibility with their diasporic homelands and answers that by saying "You're totally right".

This is what antizionist Jews mean when we say Zionism is inherently antisemitic. Just look at how Zionists talk about Diasporic Jews. Menachem Begin, to distinguish himself from the 2000+ years of Jewish ancestors who'd survived and persisted for his sake, that he was "not a Jew with trembling knees". Tiff tiff tiff

A fawn curled up beside a fake deer which is used for target practice. 

[beowulf22121]

Please note the calm looking fawn.

It’s mother has most likely used the fake deer as cover for the fawn to sleep near. I’ve personally witnessed a doe direct a fawn to lay in a patch of tall weeds and go lay on a hill where she could see me and the tall patch of weeds. That’s what they do, find something bigger than the fawn to sleep near so they’re hidden while they sleep.

This isn’t a sad child looking for something mother-like, this is a kid getting put to bed.

[potholefullofsoup]

so the mom just managed to find the most haunting large object behind which to hide a child

Volunteers Needed

Hello again music side of Tumblr! I have come back from the dead to announce that I am conducting a survey into Hozier fandom and internet aesthetics, and would be very grateful if you could spare 5–15 minutes to fill it out. Please also share with anyone you know who likes Hozier and his music, or who is into internet aesthetics!

More information and survey link below:

"No Other Version of Me I Would Rather Be": Social Media and Self-Identification Through Popular Music

This survey will form part of a dissertation on how social media users use music as a way of shaping identity both on- and offline. It will focus particularly on the relation between pop music, vibes, and internet aesthetics such as cottagecore and dark academia, as well as the inclusion of song lyrics in online personality quizzes such as those found on uQuiz.

There will be a special focus on the music and fandom of Hozier, and his popularity among LGBTQ+ communities, especially online.I am looking for volunteers, aged 18 and over, to fill out a short online survey about their internet experiences. Anyone who is familiar with, or a fan of, Hozier, internet aesthetics, social media, or all of the above, is invited and encouraged to participate.

The survey should take about five to fifteen minutes of your time, and can be found on https://forms.gle/Xin11iBVXvonwqW76 .

If you are interested and would like more information please contact Samuel Thyr at the Faculty of Music, St Aldate’s, Oxford OX1 1DB on [phone] or [email protected]. There is no obligation to take part. Thank you for your time!

Vivaldi on his deathbed in 1741: please, put it into my will that the first movement of my Spring concerto can only be used to indicate fancy settings in cartoons or as hold music for the absolute worst call centres.

If you make a verbal agreement with someone, send them a follow-up text, email, letter, fax, telegram, carrier pigeon message… literally anything that you can have a duplicate of for the record so they can’t “accidentally forget” later on.

[vaspider]

Do this with everything work-related. Seriously.

Do it if you’re a parent having a meeting with your child’s teacher, especially if it’s a meeting about an IEP or an issue.

Do this if your manager asks or tells you to do something unethical, or asks you to break labor laws.

“Hey, Brian, thanks for the policy refresher today. I just need to confirm that you want us to clock out and keep helping customers if we get to our scheduled hours but there are still customers in the store?”

“Hi Mike! Thanks for your time today. I just want to summarize our most recent meeting to be sure we’re on the same page. [Summary]. If I’ve misunderstood or missed anything, please help me out! Thanks so much.”

“Hello, Mr. Thomas, Thank you for meeting with us today to discuss Cat’s IEP. I appreciate you bringing your concerns about implementing her IEP to us, and as I understand it, you’ll be reaching out to support staff to ensure you’ll be able to provide Cat the accommodations detailed in her IEP. When should I expect to hear back from you with an update?”

“Hi Jessica, thank you so much for helping me file for FMLA today. As I understand it from your explanation, the first 5 days are regular Paid Time Off, and after that it’s FMLA with short-term disability coverage. Did I understand you correctly?”

“Hey Dad, thanks for helping me today. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow to finish up the job.”

“Hey Mark, thanks for switching shifts with me, I’m working your 9-4 and you are working my 2-10 tomorrow. I cc’d Britney just to make double sure that she knows who to expect!”

These little notes will save your ass.

[specificfuckery]

Also, check email communications and add relevant people back into the thread if people reply only to you. In my experience it’s usually just people being bad at email or responding too fast, but sometimes folks are trying to pull a fast one on you and don’t want your friend/parent/boss/other to catch on.

[softness-and-shattering]

Also, do this with real estate agents and landlords. Make sure everything is in writing, make sure there’s a paper trail. They will attempt to do as little as possible, and screw you over however they can. Especially if there are relevant laws - including your lease, which is a legal contract (I assume everywhere, but double check for yourself) - about what kind of upkeep theyre required to do in what time frame. Also look for local tenants orgs, free legal help/advice etc. re holding them to the contract if they refuse.

I dont think Ive lived anywhere where the owner was happy to just fix things, and if something is verbally promised you want that paper trail for evidence. You want evidence that they’re breaking laws by leaving you in a messed up rental situation.

You always always want evidence to cover your ass and expose others’ iffy- or wrongdoings.

[darlingknave]

If you have forgetful relatives or (especially or) shitty gaslighty relatives, do this with them too. the receipts may save your ass someday, if only to confirm for you yourself that it didn’t go down the way they say it did. This is why I prefer text > voice to this day
