Can't believe we could've almost gotten no ancient Hindu written text if the Rigvedic composers listened to their gatekeeping predecessors and were like "yea we just gonna oral it through".
I mean the priests (were) still gatekeep(ing) cuz casteism but hey atleast they jot them down and now everyone can finally access these texts on free online platforms and across languages.
Also props to my goat Sankardev for translating them into Assamese, passing them down orally AND literally, and leading to the rise of non-Brahmanical Hindu sects in Assam in the process.
Trying to befriend someone, actually be friends with someone, but all they care about is just something you made, and only will interact whenever you make something regarding that. It hurts, it hurts a lot when you think you've found a new friend to talk about whatever to. It sounds...parasocial even. I dont know if thats the right word to use it. Its like they cant see you despite the efforts, maybe theyre just a fan, and nothing more. I dont get why its so hard to befriend people you genuinely want to be closer to because of stuff like this. Its a horrid feeling ive been having recently. When people act this way toward me, not even just me, even towards my friends. Theres been instances like that happening with some of them and I get secondhand uncomfortable from it, is that even a word? I dont know, I guess it is now. I hope anyone understands what im trying to get in this.
Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little hel
I just need y'all to scroll through this. I'll reblog it to my main, but this blog has more followers.
This is life in the United States. Tenessee may have some of the lowest offered aid and most controlling laws, but even in New York State this is the kind of life we are living.
I'm fortunate enough, but as of my birthday at the end of this year, I will no longer have health insurance. I make enough money to theoretically pay for a car, but I can't get a loan because of my terrible credit.
I make too much in a month to get food stamps, can't afford rent at all, can barely afford to make my sister's car payment while she lets me borrow it.
And I make almost $2200 a month.
That's more than minimum wage.
I make more than minimum wage and I can't afford to move out of my mom's house, to buy a car to get to work, and now I'm not gonna have health insurance in less than a year.
My family crams 7 adults in a 3 bedroom house.
My mom is a nurse making "good" money, my dad started his own business, and he's not taking a loss this year.
And this news story hits home so hard, because we aren't facing the same struggles Mayron is, and we still can't get our feet under us.
Fuck capitalism, fuck my goverment, and FUCK THE MOTHERFUCKING US OF A.

Listen. This is going to be blunt but. Just listen.
I love Harry. I love Louis. I love Louis. I love Harry. I might not always agree with the decisions that either of them make 100% of the time, but I love them both. Yes, really. Both of them. At the same time.
And that is... well that is never going to change. I don’t care if this whole fandom falls down around me. I don’t care if every single person here chooses a fave and mocks me endlessly for continuing to love them both equally.
I’m stubborn, and I’m old. I am the stone you can’t squeeze a single fave from, and that’s the truth. Don’t waste your anons, okay? Save it. Because I’m never going to pick a side. Never. Ever. Ever.
This whole Cris and Amira thing would be understandable if she’s upset that amira didn’t tell her personally before (even tho they only officially dated recently and imo she was pretty quick to tell her friends) but the words she used as to why they can’t date it’s what bugs me the most and also she’s making everything about her.
Exhaust him.. overwhelm him? If she really cared for the both of them she should have asked amira about what they talked about and not assume things. I don’t think she understands why her words hurt if someone said that to me i would be hurt too. I’m not even a damira shipper but if amira was my friend I would ask what are the things she talked about with Dani etc. Also It’s bs if ppl say that she’s mad because it’s her brother... like whaaat. She was okay with Eva and Dani but amira is the exception. Hmm I wonder why.
(Also I really don’t understand why we can’t react to clips as they are shown. clip airs -> react. Yes we can wait and see what happens but I’m gonna react to them as they come. I’m sure in the end it will work out between Amira and Cris just let ppl react and give opinions also how are we not allowed to criticise stuff. It will always be deemed as negativity... like this show is not immune to criticsms. We criticise other remakes but somehow this remake we can’t??)
I’m not trying to pick fights here or stir up trouble, but I’m just in a great state of mixed confusion and anger.
One of my biggest peeves is racism, and what’s happened in America just makes my insides go all haywire. Acting like that to someone because of their skin colour is disgusting and blatantly unacceptable. It’s stripping us of our humanity.
What make’s me confused is why people can be so racist. People are beautiful, no matter their skin colour, age, gender, or culture. If we were all the same the world would be a lot more boring. But racism isn’t just ‘disliking’ someone because they have a different skin colour to you.
Racism is disrespect for human life. Plain and simple. Anyone can understand that.
On this blog we respect human life, no matter who you are, what you look like, or where you come from. If you don’t do that, then I’ll have to ask you to leave.
