the style of writing is not the problem, not the genre, not the subject matter, not even the words themselves. the SINGLE defining issue with the “Tumblr Prose” style i was trying to tackle is that it’s front loaded with imagery and metaphor and completely lacking in sense, reason, symmetry, motion, conveying information. i agree that plenty of writing can sound good and feel good to read when it’s all metaphor and visceral images but it needs to have a baseline that can carry it through or else the tail wags the dog and it’s all cool “quotable” lines and no substance, nothing to read between the lines, no character

the thing about growing up with siblings in an abusive household is that ultimately you're each other's jail wardens and whipping boys and that does things to you no matter how much you sincerely love each other and understand why it happened the way it did and wish you could have been big and strong enough to save both of you

it's just inevitably going to be difficult to reconcile the love you feel for the other half of a bear trap clamped around both your legs. is the thing.

Venus just lost its last active spacecraft, as Japan has officially declared the Akatsuki orbiter — which took the clearest-ever pictures of the planet, including the one seen above — dead.

I know its Nakba day but I truly do not have the heart to be the bearer of education. If anyone's interested in sources for reading or watching about the Nakba you can find a plethora of it offered on decolonizepalestine.com. they have a reading list for the Nakba

I found a site recently called the nakba archive that interviews palestinian elderly that survived the nakba. What i like about this archive is that they ask these palestinian elderly about their lives and traditions. Theyre not just archiving survival stories but preserving cultural memory

All of the videos are in arabic but if you click on the transcript link, it gives you an english translation
