Why did 4 months of this year go by in like a week

your university won't tell you this but it's actually perfectly fine to flop academically as much as you want you just can't kill yourself 👍

"just don't go out in public" isn't a solution for inaccessibility. you are literally one minor infection from developing my disabilities and i'll cause that motherfucking infection if you don't shut up.

we are people and deserve access to all buildings regardless of our access needs. making sure your doors are wide enough and making a useable ramp to get through them if there are steps is literally the bare minimum.

grow up and realise that disabled people deserve access to the same buildings that able-bodied people can access, you're pathetic

"oh we don't get many physically disabled customers" i don't know.... sorry mx owner of a shop with 3 large arse steps at the doorway, we have no idea why you don't have many physdis customers....

it's interesting. I see the youth worry about getting old to the point where they think 30 is old, 35 is old, 40 is old, while to me, getting older is a luxury I never thought I would have. older means I'm still here. older means I made it through things I didn't think I would. older means I have more chances. I rather like older, thank you very much.

Where do I even begin? I'm appalled. The Canadian government living up to its roots in colonial-settler violence... this is beyond criminal. Contact your MP's. This erasure and anti-Palestinian racism is unacceptable.

Geological horror. You find a geode and crack it open and the crystal lining its walls is human blood that can't be genetically matched to anyone. You find a human skeleton but every one of the bones is made from rock, a rock that you know can't be whittled into those shapes. You find layers of clay and loam that sport ancient fossils at the top and the still-rotting corpses of modern animals at the bottom.

last friday I got sick from video class. Today I got sick at the museum.

Art people/institutions: please put seizure warnings on your videos! Not just the ones with flashy lights or many colours. Also the ones with shaky cameras or immersive technology. Find a way to check if they trigger seizures and motion sickness! Test them out in advance! Maybe find some people who can pre-view and give you feedback regarding this issue!

Honestly, seizure screening would be a job I'd sign up for, if it could prevent others from getting triggered. I can't tell you how often I had to walk out of a museum or gallery feeling nauseous, it just ruins the experience :(

February started with false hopes of a ceasefire.

It is now February 15 and the largest medical facility in South Gaza, which sheltered ~2,500 people and had been under siege for two weeks, has been attacked. It is now completely out of function.

We are 21 days away from marking 5 months of ongoing genocide.

Here are several posts with numerous donation links & other ways to help. I’ll also include the tag I use for those posts, where you’ll find individual gofundme’s listed as well. There is also Operation Olive Branch, which has an excel sheet of numerous families in Gaza & how to donate to them + how to contact them. If you can afford it, please consider donating and please, please remember to scroll down to donate to families at the bottom of the list. If you cannot give, please simply share as many resources as you find.

mamma mia, here we go again my my how could i forget you

making my own post instead of derailing blah blah blah BUT

LOOK UP YOUR LOCAL THEATER

if you're interested in things like opera, orchestra, theatre, google "theatres in (your city)" and go from there. you absolutely don't have to go to the fanciest place where celebrities perform Shakespeare in real 1500s outfits, I promise you there's affordable options to watch art live. go to museums, go to art performances, go to the fucking ballet! experience things! couple weeks ago I literally got two tickets to a modernist orchestra concert by less than what I would spend on a single McDonald's menu, and less than half a single movie ticket

I promise you that you will find the fine arts way more relatable and understandable than you were led to believe they are, and that you don't need to be wearing fancy outfits, and the staffers and cast members are always more welcoming than you think, there's no secret hidden social rules, you are just supposed to get there early and turn off your phone and be respectful and quiet during the performances, just like going to the movies

and these places need our patronage to stay affordable, to be able to spread culture further, to be able to teach their craft and pass it forward to new generations of artists and staffers and technicians. you don't have to watch a play a week or go to the orchestra monthly, but consider pirating the latest blockbuster movie that you would maybe want to see and going to the theatre instead

I promise you it's worth it
