wHY DOES THIS HAVE JUST 308 NOTES???? THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD BE SHARING THIS. CHINA IS LITERALLY COMMITTING THE HOLOCAUST, ONLY THIS TIME ON MUSLIMS AND Y’ALL ARE SILENT?

i have 495 people following me right now, including several mutuals. i better see y’all reblogging.

[metrotitans]

People might not be reblogging this because the first tweet makes unnecessary (and untrue) Holocaust comparisons. Taken from @nat_slay on Twitter (I don’t know the original source):

The “ways to help” info seems good afaik but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong there too.

[rainbowlack]

As a Jewish person, I appreciate those saying that this is not okay and that it is misinformation. No, 6 million Uyghur Muslims have not been murdered.

And, as a Jewish person, I know that 6 million very well could be murdered. This is not another Shoah, but it very well could become another. As a Jewish person, I feel we must say “never again.”

Never again.

“Never again” does not mean “this event was so uniquely horrible, it could never happen again.” It means “this event was horrible, but not unique. We have to make sure it never happens again.”

Never again.

The Uyghur death count isn’t 6 million, that is misinformation. But “never again” means we have to make sure it doesn’t become 6 million.

If you are not Jewish or Romani, do not draw comparisons to the Holocaust. All that provides is shock value and misinformation. What you can do is support Uyghur Muslims.

It is important to reblog this version, with the commentary from metro and rainbow

If you say "never again" but consciously choose to ignore what's happening to the Uyghurs in China then you've missed the point.

If you say "never again" but turn a blind eye to the genocide, ethnic cleansing, concentration camps, rape, stolen children, torture, destruction of mosques, harvesting of skin and organs from living detainees, and religious persecution happening in front of your eyes to the Muslims in China - then don't bother saying it at all.

Because you don't mean it.

Guys as a study blog, i wanted to share with you something that keeps me from focusing on my studying, or literally anything other thing that i wish to do. This is keeping from reaching the potential that i know i have in me and I'm sure many of you can relate so keep reading 👇

MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMING

It is also something which isn't considered an actual issue and you wouldn't find a lot of help for it on the internet. Which is why I'm sharing with you, for people that relate to it, but find no sources to help them regarding this, and to educate others :)

It means that you spend a lot of your time in your head making up scenarios. All of us do that but in this extreme case it starts disrupting your life.

Maladaptive daydreamers often have trouble concentrating on any task, they have trouble falling asleep, tend to stay in bed for long periods of time after wakinging up, and generally spend hours inside they heads without doing anything productive.

A huge issue for me and many other maladaptive daydreamers is that they get awfully lonely.

I make extremely detailed scenarios in my head of made up people with properly thought out personalities. And everytime i come back to reality and realize that these people with the great personalities that I've created are not real, i feel horribly alone. And i also end up adapting my real life problems into my daydreams instead of sharing them with people around me. This contributes to the loneliness. YOU might be doing it too, without realising it.

Daydreaming in itself is not wrong but too much of it will cause problems. So im sharing this with you to make you truly understand the drawbacks of maladaptive daydreaming.

If you relate to this, drop it down in the comments. I'll soon make another post of ways to deal with or control maladaptive daydreaming. And if you have any tips, please drop them by so i can share with everyone. And if you need help, just know that im always here. Much love♥️

when parasite said the rich can afford to be kind, when parasite said global warming is most catastrophic for those least responsible, when parasite said the rich are the ones with access to sunlight, when parasite said the efforts of the working class are invisible to their exploiters, when parasite said water only ever flows from the rich down to the poor and never in reverse, when parasite said the rich are the real parasites for leeching off of their workers' labour

a lot of children - especially mentally ill children - end up traumatized not because someone was specifically hurting them but because their needs weren’t being met, or because their problems weren’t being seen, or because they were rendered particularly vulnerable by other aspects of their identity, like queerness or race. 

and it can be hard to look at your childhood and go “I was hurt” and also know that the hurt wasn’t deliberate. it’s uniquely painful to not have someone to blame. 

you do not have to excuse the people who hurt you, even if it was unintentional. & acknowledging your own pain does not necessarily entail blaming them for it.

you are allowed to do what you need to do in order to recover.

You're with your S/O in a western England village when the pandemic appears and they seal the entire village shut, leaving you and them alone there for an unknown and incomprehensible amount of time. You walk hand in hand, the cobbled roads that are all rain soaked and empty as everyone's hiding in their houses. The large victorian mansions, too, are all empty. There's a small stream of water nearby and flower fields spread as far as your vision goes. It's winter so it's cold. And in the small motel you're staying there's a fire place. As you rest your head on the window, the sound of light drizzling rain can be heard muffled by the fire crackling. You have a large supply of coffee and books that you read together. And a bathtub. And scented candles. And nothing in the world to do for now. And nowhere to go. Just you and them stuck there for no-one knows how long.

So Quartine forced me to start a studyblr. I didn't plan on studying during the time off but remembering my dream of getting into Oxbridge motivated me.

I open my world history books and read the French revolution. I think about Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, mostly just her. I didn't get a lot done. I mostly just sat on my study table and daydreamed. But it's a start and Im glad I opened my books again and I believe I'll get there.

If the Multiverse Theory is true, than there’s at least one universe in which the Library of Alexandria didn’t burn down, and that is one of the loveliest things I’ve heard today.

Thank you. Guess I can change my username now

There’s no picture of any Bodleian reading room big enough to fit all of its subjects in one place but cramming them into a ‘mind palace’ is easily done.

I think that when it comes to language-learning massive progress occurs by the time you start feeling the language—the vividness of words rather than the mere acquisition of them by heart; you just sort of enter this different, dream-like dimension in which you slowly begin to perceive words as images rather than as a deaf assembling of morphemes you cannot make sense of and all that follows just continues getting simpler and simpler with time and this is unarguably the most marvelous step within the entire process, in my opinion.

hogwarts house aesthetics: stress

gryffindor: heavy breathing; taking long sips of whiskey, neat. fingers pinching the bridge of your nose, eyes squeezed until grayscale zigzags appear behind your eyelids. fidgeting with the closest object, braiding and unbraiding hair/string/shoelaces/anything you can get your hands on. smiling through pressure; a false bravado of “of course - nothing’s wrong!” and sagging shoulders when watchful eyes look away. angry outbursts at those trying to help; a snap in reply, a hard sigh, and a muttered sorry through pursed lips.

ravenclaw: long walks to the library; putting down the textbook to pick up a fantasy and losing yourself in the success of someone else. willfully falling down a wikipedia rabbit hole; a preoccupation with learning something that doesn’t mean anything right now. talking in your sleep; dreams providing clarity you need and only sometimes remember. making a list of pros and cons, rambling through decisions until you arrive at the one that makes the most sense (or does it?)

hufflepuff: the comfiest sweaters, with sleeves too long balled up in too-tight fists. cup after cup of cocoa; a sugar rush to keep a smile on your face. at the breaking point, a wicked smile and a need to party - or dance, or drink, or cry, or scream, or fuck - and a sheepishness the morning after. avoidance, and you’re damn good at it, a master of white lies and excuses from thin air. calling your best friend to rant and talking through tears; “am i laughing or crying?”

slytherin: running in the rain, meant to make your stomach hurt; pain feeling better than despair, and throwing yourself into work you don’t need to do just to feel productive in the face of failure. shutting down the frantic beating of your heart; slamming a padlock shut on the nerves, the tears, the sadness, the worry. telling a wound to stop bleeding and expecting it to listen. showering only as often as you need to to wash the grease from your hair, forgetting to eat and surviving (thriving?) on a liter of coffee a day, but dressing like the media follow you wherever you go.

Okay but imagine it's the winter solstice. You're in england watching the Sun align with the stones at the stonehenge. The guide tells you that's probably when the neolithic people slaughtered their pigs. You turn around and yell at the crowd in an oldish English accent. 'who was supposed to bring the damn pigs this time!?' you get ignored pretty much by eveyone. You're embarrassed. Then one person raises their hand and says 'ah shit sorry sir that was me'. That's your soul mate. You run to the nearest church and get married right there right then.
