“I think you lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you’re living a different kind of life there. In a world inside you.”
— Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
June 3rd 2021 update on Palestine:
Please reblog!
139 Is*aeli settlers lead by Rabbi Yehudah Glick and protected by the IOF stormed into the courtyards of Al Aqsa mosque.
A group of settlers protected by the IOF stormed into an archaeological site in North West Nablus.
The IOF and a group of settlers chased Palestinian villagers after burning their olive trees in West Ramallah.
The IOF is targeting fishers during fishing season which is when fishers focus on compensating the damages done to them.
The IOF detained a Palestinian 14 year-old girl in Sheikh Jarrah upon her return from school because she painted Palestine's flag on her classmates' faces in school.
An 11 year-old Palestinian boy was detained upon his return from school and the IOF won't allow neither his family nor normal citizens to see the boy.
Please spread awareness. I post updated on Palestine and I urge you to reblog so we can amplify Palestinians' voices. We need to keep speaking up. They're detaining innocent people (children included). We need to keep speaking up.

Since once in a blue moon I actually discover a decent rule for adulting, and since I know I have followers a few years younger than me who are just entering the workforce, I want to tell you about a very important phrase.
“I won’t be available.”
Imagine you’re at work and your boss asks you to come in on Saturday. Saturday is usually your day off–coming in Saturdays is not an obligation to keep your job. Maybe you were going to watch a movie with a friend, or maybe you were just going to lie in bed and eat ice cream for eight hours, but either way you really, really don’t want to give up your day off.
If you consider yourself a millennial you’ve probably been raised to believe you need to justify not being constantly at work. And if you’re a gen-Z kid you’re likely getting the same toxic messages that we did. So in a situation like that, you might be inclined to do one of three things:
Tell your boss you’d rather not give up your day off. Cave when they pressure you to come in anyway, since you’re not doing anything important.
Tell your boss you’d rather not give up your day off. Over-apologize and worry that you looked bad/unprofessional.
Lie and say you’ve got a doctor’s appointment or some other activity that feels like an adequate justification for not working.
The fact is, it doesn’t matter to your boss whether you’re having open heart surgery or watching anime in your underwear on Saturday. The only thing that affects them is the fact that you won’t be at work. So telling them why you won’t be at work only gives them reason to try and pressure you to come in anyway.
If you say “I won’t be available,” giving no further information, you’d be surprised how often that’s enough. Be polite and sympathetic in your tone, maybe even say “sorry, but I won’t be available.” But don’t make an excuse. If your boss is a professional individual, they’ll accept that as a ‘no’ and try to find someone else.
But bosses aren’t always professional. Sometimes they’re whiny little tyrants. So, what if they pressure you further? The answer is–politely and sympathetically give them no further information.
“Are you sure you’re not available?” “Sorry, but yes.”
“Why won’t you be available?” “I have a prior commitment.” (Which you do, even if it’s only to yourself.)
“What’s your prior commitment?” “Sorry, but that’s kind of personal.”
“Can you reschedule it?” “I’m afraid not. Maybe someone else can come in?”
If you don’t give them anything to work with, they can’t pressure you into going beyond your obligations as an employee. And when they realize that, they’ll also realize they have to find someone else to come in and move on.
IMPORTANT!! PLEASE READ!!
Just like with many other parts of life, learn to say ‘no’ to people. You are important. Don’t kill yourself for another person, esp. if they are your boss.
The beginning
Or maybe you have to work for you hopes anddreams.
Sometimes you have to just hope everything will work out., sleepless nights..
Sometimes my life is cloudy
When do you start believing in you?
Sometimes life feels like a vortex sucking up everything in its path.

Why does this happen to me constantly? I do not attract or even attempt communication with the opposite sex. Well I’m very selective when I do. I do not portray myself as easy, yes I am compassionate and friendly. I do to others as I would like to be treated. Sometimes I'm not emotionally able to comprehend certain situations but I will always do my best. But this is right here is completely ridiculous. I'm so confused as to why this man-child would contact me after over a decade of never speaking after a disgusting first interaction. He literally tired to get me to give him head in the parking lot of OUR job! After three weeks of meeting each other, like are you sane sir? Why would I ever do that? But now in 2021 finds me on Facebook asking if I would like to hang out tonight. Sir we are in the season of plagues, why would I do that to myself? Why would I trust myself alone with you? In what world do you live in? I know the world toxic masculinity that’s the world. You know what this has got to end, I do not owe you a penny of kindness. How forceful and manipulative you were frightened me. I was nineteen or years old and you were late-twenty's I believe. While now at the age of twenty-eight I began expressing my discomfort in that entire situation. That I had completely forgot about and/or suppressed that entire encounter. I forgot you threw you in the lessons category of my life journey and never looked back. You tell me, you have been through worse situations that were far more uncomfortable. Who are you to invalidate my fucking feelings you disrespectful inconsiderate parasitic narcissistic demonic energy sapping worthless soul. You should feel ashamed of yourself. But I will not allow myself to clasp on to the past, you will exit my life because I will it. You and your parasitic energies have no place in my life.
BEWARE OF ENERGY LEECHES
Honestly, in my work as a therapist, I’m seeing this A Lot, and tbh I still don’t have a satisfactory approach to it. A heavy dose of Existentialist “create your own Purpose” tempered with “when the plane’s going down, put your own oxygen mask on first”, but… yeah, there is no ethical way to work on individual emotional distress without acknowledging the systemic socioeconomic, geopolitical fuckery going on at the moment, and the sheer grief that comes with it.
I’m a guidance counselor/psychologist for teenagers and it’s getting really hard to motivate young people to work for a future they don’t believe in.
They look at ther future and see global warming, wwIII, unemployement, political unstability, poison in everything they eat, the earth and animals dying all around them.
I saw this video where someone was asking french teens in the 50s how they imagine the future would be. The war hadn’t been over for long and yet it was all positive with like peace and flying cars and such. Then they went and ask the same questions to nowadays teens and hell that was depressing. Some still had hope, but it was just that “well I hope I’ll have a nice house and maybe some kid” but there was such a hesitancy to it, like they didn’t dare to hope too much.
People mock Greta Thunberg but what they don’t get is that when she said “you stole my dreams”, it was the truth.
Young people don’t get to dream like they used to. They don’t dream anymore, they grief all that won’t be anymore and that’s just so fucking sad.
