i put the aroace in aerospace (i have no astronaut training) @spiffycawfee - Tumblr Blog

Sometimes it is quite depressing to be on Tumblr. I recently had to block another account saying shit like 'Gaza deserves to be bombed' on a Gazan's post saying how the children have not eaten anything for days. There are so many Palestinians asking for support because they are literally starving to death and yet the majority of blogs here wouldn't even share a fundraiser post. These donations to families in Gaza are literally life-saving! And when they are asked to share these posts, they just ignore them because they don't think these fundraisers are 'trustworthy enough'. Ok, some of you are asking how the fundraisers are vetted out of genuine concern for Palestinians in Gaza, I understand and I'm always happy to provide info on how fundraisers on Tumblr are vetted (x, x, x, x, x, x), but so many of you are using this as an excuse to make yourself feel better about ignoring starving Palestinians being killed and not helping them.

Ibrahim (@aburakhiaibrahim) is starving. His family consists of 28 people and there is no food for them to eat. Yesterday he tried to get the food from the airdrop, but because the aid landed very close to the army, he couldn't go and get the food or else he would be killed. They could only turn to the markets for food, which is very expensive. I am asking you to please help. Donate if you can, if not, please at least share his fundraiser so that it may reach someone who can donate.

When I was training to be a battered women’s advocate, my supervisor said something that really blew my mind:

“You can always assume one thing about your clients; and that is that they are doing their best. Always assume everyone is doing their best. And if they’re having a day where their best just isn’t that great, or their best doesn’t look like your best, you have to be okay with that.”

Any now whenever anyone in my life, either a friend or a client, frustrates me, disappoints me, or pisses me off, I just tell myself They are doing their best. Their best isn’t that great today, but I have days where my best isn’t that great either.

Op I’d like to thank you for sharing this. Ever since the first time I’ve read it I’ve held it in my mind and it really has helped me to be kinder to others and to myself.

I love that Grace says he and Rocky "haven't run into anything where our cultures clash" while they're actively navigating two pretty major points of difference. From Grace's perspective, being watched in your sleep is sort of unnerving; for Rocky it's imperative. From Rocky's perspective, eating is taboo and private; for Grace it's a casual, social activity. When Grace says they haven't run into any culture clashes, he's just woken up to Rocky watching him and now he's eating breakfast. It's obviously not true that they have no conflicts in their social norms! It's just that they instinctively accommodate each other with curiosity and empathy, finding ways to bend on the things that matter to each other and explain when something is really important to themselves. Grace has spent his life holding other people at arm's length, and then in Rocky he meets someone who makes him want to do the work, and that work becomes so natural he doesn't even realise he's doing it.

#grace who has historically been abrasive and uncompromising to his peers: wow not doing that for the first time in my life feels great

every time a website describes "appetite suppressant" as a feature of a type of food, i kill another hostage

xenosaurus

"nuts are an appetite suppressant!" BECAUSE THEY ARE FOOD. YOU ARE LESS HUNGRY BECAUSE YOU ATE FOOD.

the diet industry is so unbelievably fucked and it’s in your fucking walls. “keeps you full longer so you don’t get hungry an hour after lunch when you’re trying to do something” is a neutral statement of benefit but no we have to treat pistachios like crucial medicine in the war against basic bodily functions.

eating disorder recovery is just getting angry over and over again because food is treated like some horrible necessary evil instead of one of the great joys of life. eat some nuts because they taste good and you are a living thing that thrives on pleasure and calories. you need both.

I need to get some sleep but in case you need to hear it: you deserve to eat. your appetite is not the enemy. if you can, treat yourself to a filling meal of foods you love today. throw pistachio shells at people. be free.

DISCLAIMER: if you or your selected victim have a nut allergy, consider throwing rocks instead. I love you.

I actually do think it’s better for abusers and abusive characters to realize the harm their past actions caused and seek to do better than be literally or metaphorically executed for their crimes

Reading comprehension test:

1. Does OP mention an obligation on victims to forgive abusers who have learned from their past actions?

2. Does OP mention any work on the part of victims to educate their abusers?

3. Is there any mention of “redemption” or “forgiveness” at all in this post?

Something about how society cares more about punishing the wicked than about making the world a better place, and how many people really struggle to shake that.
