My Happy Place

Hello there, thank you for dropping by. I'm Sam: reader-feminist-in love with fictional characters; and absolutely unapologetic about the things I post. “I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here.” - Charles Bukowski

it actually is insane to me that it's a cultural norm for men to suck ass at getting their wives/gfs gifts. especially when they whine about how they have no idea what women like.

man, you're not getting a gift for Female Domestic Partner. you're getting a gift for Natalie, a person whom you have been married to for 7 years, whom has lived in the same home with you for a decade, whom speaks to you every day about her thoughts and interests, whom you presumably love, and whom you can directly or indirectly ask what she wants. it's not that you don't know what half the human population wants, that's irrelevant. you don't know what Natalie wants and that is inexcusable.

But why would Lebanon send back the bomb?

Simply put: It’s a dumbass move.

[mysharona1987]

Insane. Some of these people are genuinely racist and anti-Semitic and then you’ve Ms Rachel and others who just critical of Israel.

Midnight musing:

Thinking of how when I was born - and as I celebrate my birthday - I heavily need to account my mother's sleep deprived nights spent watching over me with an aching, weak and vulnerable body. I suppose all birthdays need to also be a celebration of mothers and their resilience.

They say the ceasefire is holding in Gaza, while 1,500 homes have been destroyed with their inhabitants inside. This is part of the agreed-upon plan. Perhaps the occupation said: "I want to stop firing, but I want to destroy a little more." This is a farce. Where is humanity? Where are you? Why are you silent? We are being bombed and the world is watching.

Ok, now we need a horror movie with Ms Rachel as an all-powerful demon who, um, wants to feed and help all the starving children in the world?

“Begone, foul demon!”

“I just wanted to help vulnerable kids and families!”

“Yeah, in this late-capitalist world, that makes you evil. Sorry.”

Coming soon from Blumhouse.

“The Evil Woman in The Yard That Wanted to Help Starving Children Worldwide.”

Ms Rachel: “I want children in America to have food. I want children in Gaza to have food. I want children everywhere in the world to have food and safety.”

Rest of the world:

Kamala: “I want to run for POTUS again.”

Kamala, this is gonna be hard when most people consider you a modern day war criminal.

In her book: “Gaza, that was a PR disaster.” Nothing about the horror or genocide or dead kids or her absolute complicity.

Just how it affected *her* life.

At least Trump is upfront about being a monster.

But literally one million people died because of this man.
