While making dinner tonight, I very very fleetingly, but very seriously and legitimately thought “I should watch Goncharov tonight”

And then I Remembered.

This is probably a little too much nuance, but whenever I see a "all borders are violence" post (a political position I generally agree with!) I always add a little asterisk that says "*but the border checks that keep you from bringing homegrown produce into big agricultural areas to avoid the transmission of parasites and invasive species are actually fine and if we were more vigilant about that kind of thing maybe we wouldn't have spotted lanternflies in the states."

That doesn't work as well as a slogan, though

Things borders should be for:

Biosecurity

Customs management (you do not want people importing a bunch of stuff that doesn't meet your country's safety standards, for example)

Things like that one lake in Europe where three national borders coincide and they built an island specifically so you can run between countries for fun

Things borders shouldn't be for:

Policing who can and can't come into a country

but in a lake, you can backstroke forever the sky before you and the dark behind you and in a big city, you can start over the lights all around you the dark safe in sight in a big city, you can start over

My family in Gaza has lived all these meanings. For two years we have been displaced again and again, carrying only blankets, hope, and each other. We no longer have a stable shelter, but we are trying to stay alive. you can support my family’s ❤️

25 is the new 20 this is the new that no! NO! Everything is what it has always been you just need to grow into it embrace and accept. nobody inside of ur screen is living ur life and no trend is a collective truth

everything just really comes down to how I wasn't a person for most of my life. by which I mean I did not consider myself a person. it made such a profound impact on the way I navigated the world & yet standing on the other side of it I could hardly explain it to you
