If Ratatouille mechanics were real, there would be a whole market of businesses offering the services of operating rats to people who want them, and it'd be like how bees produce honey. People in the rat business would be so exhausted of having to explain over and over again that no, the rats aren't being exploited. If the rats didn't like how they're being treated, they would simply not return. There's no goddamn way to force a rat to be so passionate about playing the saxophone that they'll figure out how to puppeteer a human to do it for them. All that the business does is finding a way to put that specific rat in the hair of someone who's about to go on stage.
The rats 100% think the businesses are being run for their benefit and worry about the humans being exploited.
A rat manager who is a rat and deals on their end of the deal is exhausted of having to explain over and over again that look, an average fully grown adult human being is like 200 times your weight, their hands are very fast and they can throw things better than you want to imagine. If one of them things didn't want you in their hair, you're not going to stay there for long. You'd be yote out the window in two seconds flat.
take figures out of their boxes btw. sew patches on your favorite jacket. go to bed with your favorite plushes. wear the pants you usually save for special occasions. draw something cool on your wall. put a sticker on your laptop. dye your hair and pierce your lips. glass is meant to break, metal is meant to rust. items are meant to be used. that's how the world knows that somebody loved them.
When my aunt died of covid, we had to clean out a lot of stuff that she was saving. Foods she was going to try, she was a great chef, spices she'd never opened or only used sparingly, lotions and bath things she hadn't used. After she died I started making a point of using things up: the good vanilla that has to be imported, that we finally found more of, we'd used barely an ounce before she passed away. Even though we love it. I just got my family new bottles of it for Christmas because we used one up. We enjoyed that happiness. Sometimes I still get the impulse to wait for something special, or awful, to save nice things for celebration or comfort. The phrase that always echoes in my mind is "use the good vanilla". And I have been (burning the candles, squirting the body wash, dissolving the bath bombs, putting the saffron in things). And it's been great. Use the good vanilla.

one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.
I absolutely love it when an order comes in and you can tell what their favourite dinosaur is 🥺💗

does she actually think men are inherently biologically evil or does she think they are empowered by misogyny and have a higher chance of facing no consequence for mistreating her and are taught that its their prerogative to do so?
similarly to how you can say "penis" or "vagina" instead of "male/female genitals" you can also say "testosterone/estrogen dominant endocrine system" instead of "male/female endocrine system" wow. amazing, we don't have to misgender trans ppl who aren't going to or haven't yet medically transitioned when we refer to hormones its just that easy
i imagine if rev!gunter's boss fight had a cutscene it'd be something like this.

“my lady, the peasants are revolting!”
“you know, I’ve always thought so.”
It’s true, why do you think my tower is so tall. It keeps me from having to breathe the same air as them.
My lady the castle is besieged
that's not a nice thing to say :(
I can literally see you attempting to break through the gates

Day 9 - Lilac-breasted Roller
📍 From Gaza to Graduate School —
Day 1 | The Day I Graduated
This photo marks one of the happiest moments of my life. After years of studying Computer Systems Engineering—and after watching war interrupt so many plans—I finally saw these words: "Officially Bachelor in Computer Systems Engineering." It wasn't just a degree. It was proof that even when everything around me became uncertain, I could still hold on to one thing: Education. That day, I made a promise to myself: I wouldn't stop here. Today, that promise has become a Master's admission. But every journey has another mountain to climb, and mine is finding a way to continue. Over the next few days, I'd like to share my story—not just about the challenges I've faced, but about the hope that keeps me moving forward.
Thank you for being here. ❤️ If you'd like to support my Master's journey, you'll find my fundraiser below.

Day 2 — Why I Refused to Give Up
There were many moments when giving up would have been the easiest choice.
Classes were interrupted.
Electricity was unreliable.
Internet access disappeared for days.
The future felt uncertain more times than I can count.
More than once, I asked myself:
"Is it still worth continuing?"
Each time, my answer was the same.
Yes.
Not because it was easy.
But because I believed education was one of the few things that war could not take away from me.
That belief carried me through my bachelor's degree.
It led me to my Master's admission.
And today, it keeps me fighting to protect that opportunity.
Tomorrow, I'll share why graduating wasn't enough—and why I decided to create Isnad to support other students in Gaza.
Day 3 — Why I Started Isnad
There was a time when I couldn't change the reality around me.
But I believed I could help someone continue learning.
That belief led me to create Isnad, an educational initiative that supports students in Gaza through training, learning opportunities, and a community that encourages them not to give up.
Helping others reminded me why education matters.
And today, that same belief is what keeps me fighting for my own Master's journey.
Tomorrow, I'll share the moment I received my Master's admission—and why that exciting day quickly turned into my biggest challenge.
Day 4 — The Email That Changed Everything
There are moments you never forget.
One of them was opening an email that began with:
"Congratulations..."
After everything I had been through, I had finally been accepted into a Master's program.
For a few minutes, nothing else mattered.
Every late night.
Every obstacle.
Every moment I refused to give up...
It finally felt worth it.
But I soon realized something difficult.
Receiving admission was only the beginning.
Tomorrow, I'll share the biggest challenge that came immediately after that email—and why my journey is still far from over.
Day 5 — Getting Accepted Wasn't the Hardest Part
I thought getting accepted into a Master's program would be the hardest part of my journey. I was wrong. The hardest part came after the acceptance letter. I have already invested $600 from my own salary and savings, and thanks to the kindness of others, I'm getting closer to my goal. I'm doing everything I can because this dream is worth fighting for. Giving up has never been an option. Tomorrow, I'll share why this Master's degree means so much to me—and why I'm determined to see this journey through.
Day Six — The Final Chapter
Over the past five days, I have shared the details of my journey with you—from graduating in Gaza and refusing to give up, to founding the "Isnad" initiative, and finally, receiving my acceptance into a master’s program.
Today, I would like to conclude this series with one final goal.
I need to raise $150.
This is the amount I am asking this community to help me secure so I can finalize the registration fees for my master’s program.
We have seen before how even small donations of $5 or $7 can make a difference.
This is where my series ends, and—I hope—where the next chapter of my life begins.
If you have been following my story over the past few days, please help me complete this chapter—whether by donating or simply sharing this post so it reaches someone who can help.
Let’s finish what we started, together. ❤️
We already reached $35 toward the final goal!
$115 left.
Every $5 is genuinely moving this forward. If 23 more people gave $5, we’d reach the goal.
If you can’t donate, a reblog can help this reach someone who can.
We’re getting closer. Please help me finish this. ❤️
🚨 FINAL DAY — ONLY $115 LEFT
Today is the last day to complete my Master's registration. Only $115 stands between me and securing this opportunity. Even $5 can bring me closer. Please donate or reblog if you can. ❤️ Please help me finish this today.
