i have a small fire of happiness inside me that nobody can extinguish. it grows and shrinks of course but it will always remain lit. nothing can ever make it totally dark and cold inside my chest

[oudandleather]

i haven’t thought about you for months but the thought returned. and so did i

[oudandleather]

i’m yearning so bad tonight goddamn

[oudandleather]

buildings all around me are being bombed but don’t worry girl i’m nonchalant to the end. ahaaaaaaha 😌

[oudandleather]

the building beside mine was hit by falling debris and a few surrounding buildings were evacuated for fear of a spreading fire. sorry if i’ve been absent. considering my options currently

i’m alive. not today iran

[disc90s]

Do you want to belong to me?

[professionallyunstable-deactiva]

there's not a single nonchalant bone in my body. I care so much I could literally vomit.

okay so we all understand that sexual attraction doesn't always lead to sex. are we ready to consider that romantic attraction doesn't always lead to romance.

[saveyourhelplessspite]

and i dont mean this in a "its for your own good we dont date" way, or a "they got turned down and are still friends" way, i mean it in a "there is romantic attraction present but the one experiencing it doesnt want to do anything with it" way. am i making sense. are you hearing the words im saying. it wont fucking kill you if you dont act on it. like obviously you should probably communicate it someday but you dont have to let it dictate you or consume you. its just a feeling.

[absolutelynotclassicusernam-blog]

Can I add that you don’t have to communicate it? If you need to personally, then by all means. But it’s also okay to just feel it as long as you feel it and then let it pass. Attraction comes in many flavors and sometimes it’s just something to feel inside yourself and that’s okay.

[oudandleather]

it’s true. a had a colleague who admitted to another colleague that she was interested in me romantically after i left that job but never initiated because she was married. i’m sure the story was sensationalised but the concept of omitting romantic attraction is definitely real and necessary for daily life

[oudandleather]

unfortunately it’s true. i suffer from the curse of romance 😔

[oudandleather]

dry brined this ribeye for 36 hours and now that i’m home it’s time to prepare to eat this monster

[oudandleather]

saw this lil guy outside a random masjid

[oudandleather]

Wtf how are you wishing death on people? Just because they go to war. Not like Iran is being invaded. My brother is in the army and he’s a good person

if your brother is deployed and steps foot on iranian soil i hope he and his team are captured, starved and flayed to death. if he survives and makes it back home i hope he gets ptsd and hangs himself

the united states military go abroad to only do 3 things: steal resources, destabilise peaceful nations and rape women and children. that’s the whole plan

fighting for the red, white and blue in foreign countries exempts you from being considered a “good person”

and guess what? it’s totally optional btw

[oudandleather]

i hate to be that guy but the reason i love history so much is because someone has to remember this stuff. i talk to people all the time and some of them don't even know about the 2008 recession. they're so clueless about past events it shocks me and i wonder where their minds are at in this regard. history might be the most important study, literally, of all time

[oudandleather]

i also hate the iranian regime btw. just saying. it has its own evils associated. but iranians don't believe they can launch a full scale invasion of the united states- their goals are much more aligned with the real world. but the united states believe, somehow, that they can launch a full scale invasion of PERSIA. yes brother. PERSIA. famously impregnable persia. and for that they deserve to lose. it's not wishful thinking or regular optimism. it's not 'we have faith in our troops! 🇺🇸💪🏼' it's believing that somehow the branches of your military are omnipotent and that belief deserves to be punished

[oudandleather]

after what they did in iraq, genuinely, and i say this with no asterisks. i hope with all of my heart that united states soldiers who step foot in iran are besieged, their supply lines cut off and ultimately used for what they actually are- hostages. to constantly be left to believe that an evac is coming when they know well that the iranians will never let them go. i want nothing more for them than preemptive ptsd, it's what they deserve for the hubris of their leaders

[oudandleather]

i am not one to speak about political subjects because i hate politics but what i do love is HISTORY. history and geography are my chosen subjects from the humanities and unfortunately this war between the united states and iran is both unprecedented and totally a tale as old as time. it's both. it's so sad though because these powers all believe they are god. unfortunately for them though, god himself and by extension history- has not been kind to those who behave like they're god. thinking you're god has only gotten people into trouble in the past and will continue to forever. a bit of humility in the fog of all this hubris will go such a long way

this will end so badly for, literally, and i mean this literally, everyone. literally everyone

[oudandleather]

i have a dead man’s switch on a web server that will send notifications/posts to everyone i know and love if i did die though so you guys will definitely see me say goodbye from the grave 😅
