i’ve never really watched an anime before except for some naruto (not finished with that yet) and pokémon, which i doubt counts. does anyone have good recs because i love the vibe and have always wanted to start but i don’t know where. i’ll like any genre tbh so please comment your favorites and where i should start.
"People wishing 'happy diwali to all my desis' need to stop cause it is a hindu festival and not all desis are hindus". Shut up. We here in our country are very tolerant of each other and intermingle in each other's culture just fine. I don't need some westerner to safeguard my culture or tell me what people of my own country are fine/not fine with. The way the next door muslim neighbour gives our family biryani every year on eid and their little kid gets excited weeks before diwali cause it's the time when people exchange his favourite soan papdi is not something that will be threatened just because you wished one's festival to an entire population. Go cry in a corner cause your gatekeeping doesn't work here. Hindus posting under the comment section of ayatul kursi how they respect islam, indians cherishing pakistani singer's talent under random coke studio music videos and saying how our cultures unites us, the way my muslim best friend plays holi with me every year cause she enjoys it, you think these people, people like us, feel threatened because some white person wished them diwali? Or even Eid? Fuck this. Say happy janmashtami to all my desis, say merry Christmas to all my desis, say eid mubarak to all my desis, mention every festival every known on the planet and wish it to us desis cause that's how diverse we are
if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do… research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?
Unless you’d consider yourself an expert on medieval history, if it feels easier to get into ‘the mind’ of an 11th century knight than it does a normal 21st century person of a different ethnicity than yours that’s not a sign of ‘being woke’ and you should ignore any weirdo twitblrs that basically wanna reskin racial Othering as a good and moral thing to uphold bc that’s what this discourse amounts to
I would much rather have white people wanting to learn about my cultures through trying to write about them than to have them be so scared of getting it less than perfect that they’d ignore them completely. And even if something is not quite right, there’s a massive difference between maliciousness and ignorance, and people treating those two as the Exact Same Bad also contributes to this othering attitude.
The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.
FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST??? IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

For Whom the Bell Tolls
Gone With the Wind
The Grapes of Wrath
The Great Gatsby
Howl
In Cold Blood
Invisible Man
The Jungle (personally I don’t like this formatting, but the site doesn’t look sketchy so…) - there’s also this which is the proper book format in a pdf, but it’s directly photocopied so it might be hard to read some of the print
Leaves of Grass
Moby Dick
Native Son
Our Bodies, Ourselves (we learned about this one in APUSH!)
The Red Badge of Courage
The Scarlet Letter
COULD NOT FIND Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (the ebook is 47 fucking dollars??? and i can’t even find sketchy websites that’ll let me download a pdf. if anyone manages to find a link, lmk please)
Stranger in a Strange Land
A Streetcar Named Desire
Their Eyes Were Watching God
To Kill a Mockingbird
Uncle Tom’s Cabin
Where the Wild Things Are (this is a slideshow!!!! how fun)

I do my best to live by these words…
Wow! At some of the banned books! Insane!

itni si baat hai, mujhe tumse pyaar hai
“I feel as if I'm always on the verge of waking up.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
my local library doesn't have a maximum book checkout limit and I am about to make them regret this
update: I checked out 36 books & put in hold requests for 26 more. the librarian who checked me out didn't even flinched, just said it's "nice to see more people reading." these people are fucking bonkers please quadruple local library budgets
my library had a fifty book limit per card and when i was in middle school i’d borrow both my parents’ card plus my own and check out 150 fucking books, read them all, and return them within 3-4 weeks.
now i only check out 20-40 man i miss the good old days…
but my school library has a THREE BOOK LIMIT?? like wtf?! but me and the librarian are on good terms so she sometimes lets me secretly borrow more 😌😌. but i usually finish the books within two days, then return them then within 2-3 days, then check out more, and the cycle goes on.
reblog and put in the tags the first R movie you remember seeing
my tbr:
please please please recommend more books! i literally don’t care about the genre just give me recs
(for some reason it’s mainly newly published ya books which is cool but not most of the type of books i read and it’s in random order)

(these aren’t all the books i’ve ever read, just the ones i remembered to note down since i started this list last year lol)
my biggest flex is figuring out the truly devious riddle before stevie did.
What happens once you kill yourself? Because I'm ready to go.
You wanna know what happens once you kill yourself? Your mother comes home from work and finds her baby dead and she screams and runs over to you and tries to get you to wake up but you won’t and she keeps screaming and shaking you and her tears are dripping onto your face and your dad hears all the screaming and runs into the room and he can’t even speak because the child that he loved and the child that he watched grow up is gone forever and finally your little sister runs into the room to see what all the fuss is about and she sees you dead. The person she looked up to and loved. The person she bragged about to her friends, the person she wanted to be just like when she grew up, the person that made her feel safe. But she’s never really going to get to grow up and smile and laugh and love because she’ll always be consumed with this feeling of missing you. And now there’s something missing from your family and they can barely look at each other anymore because everything reminds them of you but you’re gone and hurts more than anything. and you think that your mom never cared because she was always busy and yelling at you to finish your homework and clean your room and forgot to say I love you sometimes but really, she loved you more than anything and she doesn’t leave the house anymore, she can’t even get out of bed and she’s getting thinner and thinner because it’s too hard to eat. Your father had to quit his job and he doesn’t sleep anymore, every time he closes his eyes he sees his baby dead, and the image never goes away no matter how much alcohol he drinks. And at school your best friend sees that your seat is empty and she gets this sick feeling in her stomach and that’s when she hears the announcement. You killed yourself. And suddenly she’s screaming and crying in the middle of class and no one even bothers comforting because they’re all busy sitting there staring at your empty seat with tears dripping down their cheeks and all she wants is for you to hug her and tell her it’s gonna be okay like you always did, but this time, you’re not there to do it, everything is dark now that you’re gone and her grades are slipping, she barely goes to school anymore and she ended up in hospital after taking too many pills because she wanted to see you again. the girls who used to make fun of the way you dressed feel their throats get tight, they don’t talk to each other anymore, they don’t talk to anyone, they’re all in therapy trying so hard not to blame themselves but nothing works. and your teacher who always gave you a hard time stares blankly at the wall, she quits her job a few days later. And then your boyfriend hears the news and he can’t breathe, he still calls you a lot just to hear your voice and he talks to you on facebook but you never message him back, he can’t fall in love again because every girl he meets reminds him of you, he’s never going to get over you, he loved you and he cries himself to sleep every night, hating himself and slicing his skin because he couldn’t save you and he’s never going to hold you in his arms or hear you laugh again. Now everyone who knew you, whether they were a big part of your life or someone you passed in the hallway a few times a week, they carry this aching feeling around inside them because you’re gone, and they miss you, and they don’t know why you left but it must’ve been their fault and they should’ve stopped you and they should’ve told you they loved you more and that feeling is never going to go away. And so you killed yourself
but you killed everyone else around you too.
this need to be on everyone’s blog
im crying
I never usually reblog things like this.. but if it saves just one persons life… please take thime to read this even if you think there is no point in living. Please.
please please PLEASE reblog this
Life’s too precious. If you feel like this, please know that it gets better. And that people are always happy to lend an ear; heck drop me a message too. But never, ever think about taking your own life.
every single time I read this,i remember how i tried back then. but don’t do it.
please reblog if you’re reading this!!!
Reblog besties, This is really important.
I need this sometimes, please reblog for anyone else who needs this
This reminds me of this scene:
*Violent uncontrollable sobbing*
*Nose starts bleeding*
people need to start taking teenage girls seriously (especially you, doctors!!)
i am so freaking mad at my doctor...
the other day, i payed my clinic a visit. it was regarding my many piling symptoms of adhd or some type of neurodiversity. it's pretty damn hard to take high school and college classes while also helping around the house with so, so many symptoms as a young teen with desi parents who were conditioned to think stuff like mental illness = psycho which my child is not, just lazy (they've been getting better, at least).
so the doctor comes in and asks the usual question, and i tell her all my symptoms, including, but not limited to:
having the short-term memory span of a goldfish
literally can't focus to save my life
excessive fidgeting
random hyperfixations, for example, sometimes, when i read, i will finish a 500 page book in 3 hrs and if anyone calls me i will literally not read it
auditory processing issues
textual processing issues
never, ever wanting to get up in the morning
randomly feeling super depressed, then bouncing of the wall 5 minutes later
maladaptive daydreaming for a quarter of the day
freaking major procrastination
either being emotionally dead or overinvested in everything
don't remember what i had for breakfast but you wanna know about the palmaris longus, historical clothing of the 1830's, why banana flavor don't taste like banana, or alien hand syndrome?
feeling guilty for having fun, even if i completed all my responsibilities beforehand.
socially stunted 😙✌️
seriously. this is my list. and you know what the doctor said in response?
4 times (yes, i found myself counting): yeah, it's pretty common to feel that way since the pandemic began.
and every time she said that, i mentioned that these symptoms were from before the pandemic as well, to which she'd just dismiss me and continue.
7-9 times: oh, that happens to me too, that happens to everyone!!
i don't want someone to fucking relate to, i want treatment! like, i'm pretty sure you never created a whole magic system in your head but could never get it to flow on paper, but ok, if you say so, kim.
(? times) her #1 argument:
but you used to have high grades before the pandemic.
i still have relatively high grades, just the one b i was stressing about. and the issues started bEFORE THE PANDEMIC! but the doctor wouldn't stop using this argument, even after i refuted her claim. also, i've burned out, doc! can't you see!
still, some of the smartest people i know are neurodivergent. even those who aren't treated have had high grades.
y'all don't have to believe me. maybe she was right, and i am neurotypical (i don't buy it one bit), but when i came home, i mentioned what happened to my sister casually. i didn't say anything biased, just why i went to the doctor's.
and she just flat out says that she doesn't like that doctor one bit. and why? because when she was a high school sophomore, she went to her regarding her anxiety, and she just flat out dismissed her worries.
apparently, having a panic attack after school almost every day is not enough evidence for having anxiety, kim...
just because i am a young teen, a girl, does not my troubles can be dismissed like that! especially if you are a healthcare professional and someone is explaining their MEDICAL issues to you-- i don't care how old they are-- you are supposed to listen!
°˖✧ what ethereal vibe do you give off? °˖✧
