A girl has not felt loved in years. She never gets told that she's a pretty girl. She doesn't get called a girl. Her parents don't call her daughter. She never smiles and doesn't take care of her hair anymore. She stopped taking showers every day. She has acne and stubble. She doesn't shave, she can't stand looking at herself in the mirror. She was told that "fat is hot" until she gained more weight. People look at her weird. She feels like nobody wants her. She doesn't want anyone to look at her. She feels alone. People avoid her. She feels like she can't vent to others anymore because it's all she can think about. She wants to be loved

A girl doesn't talk anymore. She's distant and insecure. She bottles up her feelings. People reach out to her to try and help, but don't know how to help. She isolates herself, she's scared. She knows that nobody will put in the time and effort to be there for her. Nobody says good morning to her. She stopped asking for help. She doesn't laugh anymore. She feels like she's worthless. She's told that this isn't true, but notices that people only care about her when she's feeling suicidal. She feels like a burden. She can't think a week ahead because she is terrified of the future. She doesn't know if she'll make it to the end of the year. She wants to be loved

A girl doesn't express her opinions anymore. People think she's a dangerous freak, that she is disgusting, gross and filthy. She feels that weight. She cries most of the day, most days. She stopped brushing her teeth. She feels disposable. She only feels useful when she's validated. People will toss her aside as soon as they get a good excuse to do it. She feels like a sacrificial lamb. They keep her at arm's length. She knows that she's judged silently. She feels like people would feel more comfortable if she wasn't there. She's trying to keep going. Her eyes hurt. She's loud. People think she is annoying. She's tired. She wants to be loved

I see u. I love u

You're a pretty girl. What you say matters. How you feel matters. It's ok to be angry and afraid. It's unfair that others don't notice and don't care. Keep being loud, keep being yourself. It's not too late. You matter

yeah see this is my problem with DuckDuckGo

thanks so much, and please dont tag this post unless for accessibility reasons!

update 4/24!

we are now at $235/554! we're getting there folks, please keep sharing this

Radlibs and Western "leftists" are already reenacting the Hong Kong protest era fetishization of occupation strategies and outsmarting the police with DIY tactics wrt the student movement and I really hope people can try to not lose the plot and remember what the purpose of these campus occupations are (or should be), and that's getting universities to divest from the Zionist entity, including divesting from Israeli companies and weapons manufacturers as well as ending partnerships with Israeli universities, and stand in solidarity with *Palestine* - not Columbia or NYU. Please do not let the adventurism overshadow what the strategic goals of the student movement need to be.

Also can't stress enough how much you should not be getting your organizing tactics ESPECIALLY FOR DIRECT CONFRONTATION WITH THE POLICE from Instagram infographics and such. Apart from the fact such infographics and social media posts will inevitably be rife with disinformation (either intentional or not), there is no one size fits all strategy for high risk organizing. These are strategies that need to be developed communally and on a case-by-case basis depending upon the level of campus militarization and aggression from administration. Do not start occupying buildings and building barricades just because you saw them do it at Humboldt. Do not risk arrest if there is a way to retain significant pressure against the university without doing so. Know your university's rules and codes of conduct and relationship with the police. Be smart.

The students seem to be showing pretty good media discipline so far. They apparently had a dedicated media person and everyone else refused to talk to reporters.

crazy how a bunch of critters formed in my head to protect me from an insane amount of trauma(both online and irl) being plural is very hard to navigate with sometimes...just constantly having to deal with fuzzy memories or losing parts of yourself overtime. the scary thing is feeling overwhelmed and alone simultaneously, but it's also comforting to have others be there for you.

I talk about plural stuff openly because I want my words to let other systems and plural folk know they aren't alone with this, that I'm not alone with this too.

terrifying deleted scene from skinamarink

kitten I'm gonna be honest, daddy was kind of a construct existing largely in the form of your gestalt memories of several different people, so he may not exist as an individual in the way you had previously assumed, if such a person ever truly existed at all

DONT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE! DONT STOP TAKING ABOUT GAZA!

DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU FORGET!!

Image ID:

You're only done talking about Palestine when we see a free Palestine.

Plain text:

Don't stop talking about Palestine! Don't stop talking about Gaza! Don't let them make you forget!!

im noticing that for a lot of americans “free palestine” has been an ideological motto and symbol rather than them actually believing in their heart that freedom is attainable and necessary

palestinians deserve the right to be able to travel freely in our homeland. to even visit our homeland. for us to have citizenship and rights to our own country. to grow our plants. practice our religions. live without fear that our children can be kidnapped by israeli forces on their violent whims. to not have our life savings poured into building a home for our families that are torn down without real warning by israeli bulldozers. to no longer be refugees. like this is real life. this is real.

we don’t want to be reduced to a never ending slogan. we want to put down our need for resistance. to rest & to live.

What an autistic person says: "How long is it going to take?"

What they mean: "I want to know whether to activate my short term waiting mode where I just wait and do nothing else, or activate my long term waiting mode where I occupy my mind with something else. I fully understand that both are possibilities, and I have no problem whatsoever with either one, but I want more information so I can best adapt to the situation."

What neurotypical people hear: "I am impatient and demand that everything I want happen right now. Please scold me and publicly humiliate me for it."

finally turned the Ominous Grid of Letters into a game.

Conway's game of life simulation is happening, but additionally, there is an invisible 3 cell by 3 cell square Angel that is slowly moving across the board in a steady direction.

every step of the simulation, the Angel toggles the alive/dead state of the cells she covers, acting as an external influence on the regular Conway's life simulation.

find this Angel by noticing the abnormalities in the simulation, and click on her. it will let you know when you find her.

got her!

i havent been able to stop thinking abt this since i played it a few days ago. Angels are a Feature of a simulation. Angels are hard to see where the simulation is noisy, but easy to see where the simulation is quiet. Angels reverse the entropy of a simulation that would otherwise fall into a dead or stable configuration. Angels are invisible, except for the evidence of their presence.

Yo this works on mobile too?? So cool!
