i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

birdplushie

often you will see things online where you just have to be like "what a strange thing to say" or "i don't think that's true :)" to yourself and try to move on or you will lose your mind

''what if you regret it'' then you will expirience regret - a normal and unavoidable part of the human expirience.

whyenn-reader

the more you twist yourself into a pretzel to avoid regret the harder it will hit when it eventually catches up to you.

Cannot stand the trend of censoring any and all words that describe concepts that might make you go :( especially when the censoring is done in that quarter-assed way that's just 'did a lil scribble over a vowel so you know that I know this word describes a no-no."

I'm not even going to be vague about what sparked this. Do not fucking censor the word 'stole.' I'm at my fucking limit.

Who does this benefit. Who is made safer by this. Whose life is made better by this. Who is out there going "Wow I sure am glad I didn't have to see that word without it scribbled on a little. That really reduced the emotional impact of reading that word." Can I kill them?

fuckthisshit-ugh

please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.

you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.

first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.

now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:

in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.

and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.

and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.

it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:

• infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.

• youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.

• only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.

• manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.

• journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.

• even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.

and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.

what i'm asking:

if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.

if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.

india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.

we can still save her. but only loudly.

reblog. share. don't scroll past.

The movement, which began as a satirical protest, has evolved into a nationwide challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.

Supporters of India's youth-led Cockroach movement said Tuesday they will continue their protest in New Delhi, refusing to leave their sit-in site a day after police used tear gas and batons to disperse thousands of them as they tried to march toward Parliament. Hundreds of protesters camped at Jantar Mantar, a designated protest site, under heavy police presence, saying they would stay until Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns over alleged failures in India's examination system. "We are going to continue our protest," said Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, which emerged just two months ago. The movement, drawing students, professionals and families, marks a rare public challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi 's government in its third term, reviving criticism over its handling of dissent and its use of force to respond to protests. [...] Sona Bisht, a 20-year-old student who was part of the protest, said the confrontation strengthened her resolve. "If the government thinks that doing this with Gen Z, they can stop us, then that won't happen. We are here talking about education, talking about securing our future. And till the time our demands are not met, we will not move from here," she said.

"Definitions developed thus far about youth, like the Gen Z narrative, have largely been linked to roles attributed by the dominant system. The rulers have invented a whole range of terms — rebellious, irresponsible, apolitical, extremist, consumerist — not to understand youth, but to neutralize it. They know as well as we do that whoever wins over the youth wins over society. [...] Thus the question is not whether youth is powerful, but in whose interest this power is directed. Today’s uprisings — such as those in Nepal, Bangladesh, Madagascar, Indonesia, Kenya, Morocco, and beyond — demonstrate that youth continues to emerge as a decisive actor. Young women like Deniz Ciya have proven this with their lives. These uprisings are not expressions of generational temperament. These „Gen Z uprisings“ are expressions of a social force confronting structural crisis inherent in the current system. [...] Recent youth uprisings — whether in the form of environmental justice protests, labor movements, or uprisings against authoritarian governments — are proof that youth worldwide are not only responding to a set of circumstances; they are consciously and collectively rejecting the narratives that seek to define them. Thus, it is crucial to analyze what transpired, and draw lessons from these uprisings, particularly in the context of building a global youth democratic confederalism. For the power of youth movements is interconnected, despite being geographically distant." — "Beyond "Gen Z": Defending Revolutionary Youth Spirit" by Lêgerîn

"The youth in general, and especially the young women, are the spark of every revolution.We can’t look at the history and found a revolution without the youth. We are a fundamental factor. We should be aware of this reality, we should take conscience of our historical role. By doing this we will provide ourselves with a plan that will allow us the unity of action and objectives. The Youth should not be condemned to be a slave of the capitalist system. [...] If we reject the labels and mentalities imposed by the system, taking consciousness as Internationalist Youth in a global level and organizing ourselves, is there someone who can stop us?" — "The youth is the spark of every revolution" by Lêgerîn.

This post came up in conversation once and I tried to google and find it but every variation on the caption I typed in made google hit me with their "hey man, maybe stop searching for racist memes" followed by 10,000 explicitly racist memes and, crucially, not this post. While I am glad this is a feature google has, it definitely did not help me find this post (which is not racist) but it did show me a lot memes (that were on purpose racist)

excuse me

Anyone wanna talk about Shane’s nervous little face, the way he sits up a little to watch him, grips his hand as he moves down him almost like to stop him- the way Ilya looks up at him and finds Shane’s hand as he grips his thigh, fingers tangled rubbing his thigh

hollanovhaunting

Yall 😭 Ilya holds Shane’s hand because he realized Shane had been gripping his because he needed a physical anchor. Look at the second to last gif- he’s got his loosely resting on Ilya’s arm. But as Ilya pulls away, Shane grips at his hand. So Ilya gives his hand back because he noticed it’s what Shane needed 😭 I’m losing my mind

The bellboy bit is overshadowed by a lot of things that happen in ep. 6 but narratively I think it's actually doing a lot of work because like Shane and Ilya have been hooking up for the better part of a decade, but they've only been seeing each other a couple of times a year, and only for a couple of hours at a time, and only, for the most part, to have sex and then split. When ep. 6 begins, they are understandably awkward in the car and when they first get to the cottage. This is new for them and they don't know what to expect. They are going directly from dipping their toes in once in a while to diving right into the deep end. But then Shane starts the bellboy bit, and Ilya is literally immediately right there with him, playing along, doesn't even hesitate, isn't even taken aback by Shane doing it even though Shane is literally never this unmasked and open with anybody, and it's like, oh, they actually do know each other. They don't know a lot about each other but they know each other. They're nervous about what this means for them but they don't make each other nervous. They're terrified of what the other is thinking about being together but not of what the other thinks of them. The cottage is presented as the beginning of their relationship but the bellboy scene makes it clear that they're already as attuned to each other as people who have been together years.

Have we considered that Shane’s clarifying questions help Ilya process his own emotions? Mr. Stoic Mr. Strong Mr. Responsible with a controlling father keeps things so tamped down that I wonder if Shane asking things for his own understanding helps him emotionally process as well.

I’m watching the Moscow phone call scene, and Ilya in his grief starts talking about how his family is at their worst and are being terrible to each other. He seems resentful, almost bitter.

Shane asks “Is it very upsetting?” And Ilya responds “Yes,” and then, after a beat, “But maybe… I am upset about the wrong thing…”

Shane prompts him further, “You mean, not your father?” And from here Ilya really starts to open up. He gets sad. His heart is broken, and he lets Shane see a little piece of it. Lets it breathe out in the air.

We often talk about how Shane’s questioning is useful to him, how it helps him better understand the world around him when he feels like there’s something he’s missed. But I think it’s so important to acknowledge that their communication is so compatible that this helps Ilya gain a better understanding of his own thought processes and emotions as well. They really do become better through each other

with how much ilya likes moving shane's face around at his leisure, i'm cackling about the idea of him being completely unprepared on the day shane does it to him

he's not looking at shane while he says something because he's reading a text from svetlana, and shane just huffs an annoyed breath and grabs him by the chin to demand his attention and ilya just

as he learns something new about himself

hothockey

episode five...when hollanov are in bed and shane chirps ilya to move them into familiar play and ilya chirps him back to return the play.....and they get all fond and laughy and shovey and shane sinks with pleasure into the pillows as ilya yells and calls him an asshole......peak. PEAK. ilya chirping shane makes shane super giggly and delighted!!!! bc this is a language shane has been speaking for 20+ years with other guys and when ilya is nipping at him, that means shane is one of his boys, is fun and loved and welcomed into the pack. good grade in being a guy with guy friends: normal to want! possible to achieve!! and when ilya says it specifically, that means ilya likes him! its the other biggest, baddest dog in the yard paying special attention to shane in a way he pays attention to none of the other dogs and the way he bites shane is singular and secret and just theirs, just shane's. good grade in being a guy with guy friends fucked by the best guy! and well, success always tastes ever so sweet to shane hollander, doesn't it?
