i think its important to remember that if you hate someone, they can probably feel it. and if you keep hating them enough, they'll die.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

“Besides, readers aren’t viewers; they recognize their pleasure as different from that of being entertained. Once you’ve pressed the on button, the TV goes on, and on, and on, and all you have to do is sit and stare. But reading is active, an act of attention, of absorbed alertness—not all that different from hunting, in fact, or from gathering. In its silence, a book is a challenge: it can’t lull you with surging music or deafen you with screeching laugh tracks or fire gunshots in your living room; you have to listen to it in your head. A book won’t move your eyes for you the way images on a screen do. It won’t move your mind unless you give it your mind, or your heart unless you put your heart in it. It won’t do the work for you. To read a story well is to follow it, to act it, to feel it, to become it—everything short of writing it, in fact. Reading is not “interactive” with a set of rules or options, as games are; reading is actual collaboration with the writer’s mind. No wonder not everybody is up to it.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin, “Staying Awake”

i posted this a couple months ago and came across this very illuminating video today that adds to my point about white people’s (everywhere of creeds bc none of you are exempt) antiracism largely being performative.

bc they continue to knowingly destroy/hide/sell invaluable historic documents that could help Black ppl across the diaspora not only trace their lineage, but also point directly to the white & nonblack families that owe our families reparations.

this is really why no white person on this planet wants to really do that work, and give us free access to these resources that are owed to us bc doing so would make them be face to face with the legacies that their ancestors who participated in this system, distantly and recently, left behind for Black lineages who managed to survive here, despite everything to this day, to inherit.

Such documentation would also allow Black Americans & other Black people to actually build concrete timelines of the crimes (such as lynchings, land theft, mob harassment, threats, kidnapping, rape, etc.) that white families & individuals have been able to directly profit from, POST-chattel slavery, in the modern era. Much of the violence done against us wasn’t legally considered a crime or purposely overlooked by law enforcement and the government; & not much has changed.

To be able to trace exactly how your white and nonblack families in the U.S. were able to maintain, lose, &/or gain economic stability pre- & post-Depression era? oh you girls aren’t that brave.

Due consequence is a white person’s greatest fear.

humans should be able to do a special Ultra Sleep after major life accomplishments where you're just out for like 32 hours or something and then you wake up fully refreshed in every way

many people grow up and forget what it feels like to be a child. we must remember this. we have to remember what a joy it is to play. to learn. to build connections. to grow. to experience. we must hold onto the things that awe us. we are changed by what we love
