the stuff going on at columbia campus rn is genuinely incredible

despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter, isra hirsi) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)

EVERY BODY KNOWS SHITS FUCKED

Cathartic release

This isn’t commonly known but one of the rings of hell is actually being in a fandom wherein the popular bloggers have the worst opinions known to man that everyone else parrots

I should add: the worst opinions known to man that go unchallenged bc if you challenge them you’re practically blacklisted or otherwise scorned

i stopped the dental technician while he was applying fluoride to ask what the fuck the flavour was supposed to be. And he was like oh I was wondering that too. It says it's walterberry.

what in the FUCK is a walterberry

Decades ago, our founder and CEO emeritus Dr. Dan Fischer was dissatisfied with the limited flavor options available in the dental market. Most products, if flavored at all, were an awful version of grape that children especially detested. He experimented with many different flavors, taste-testing them with his family—mint, bubble gum, cinnamon, licorice, even piña colada! Bubble gum was the clear winner among his children, but no single flavor was adored by both adults and children alike. So, he asked an Ultradent chemist named Walter to help.

Walter had to create a flavoring that not only tasted good but also didn’t react with any active ingredients or break down over time. For months, Walter mixed flavors in his lab and the aroma would waft around the building. When he thought he had found a winning formula, Walter would go to the lunchroom and ask anyone willing to give him their opinion. It soon became clear that Walter was attempting to create a berry flavor and Ultradent employees affectionately dubbed it “Walterberry.” After learning about this, says Dr. Fischer, “seeing the labels that simply said ‘Berry’ just didn’t feel right.” So he scrapped the “Berry” labels and had new “Walterberry” ones printed instead. Walterberry has been Ultradent’s trademark flavor—a favorite of both patients and doctors—ever since.

"oh yes your character is cool. have you considered writing more" meanwhile the wolves in my brain are tearing and biting

please listen to albums someitmes youll be amazed at what an artists songs do when theyree in an order they made. for you to listen to. etc

Israeli soldiers are conducting a series of invasive operations across the West Bank, abducting numerous Palestinians, killing and injuring civillians, and engaging in destructive raids on homes and Palestinian property.

This is what happened today (April 18) in the West Bank:

The Palestinian Detainees Committee reports that over 40 Palestinians were abducted by Israeli soldiers TODAY alone, from various parts of the West Bank, with a concentration of these abductions occurring in Nablus, followed by operations in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jericho, Hebron, and Jerusalem.

Two homes belonging to Mohammad and Ahmad Zeidat, who have been kidnapped since January, in the town Bani Naim (near Hebron) were also demolished.

Over 8,310 Palestinians have been abducted by the Israeli Occupation Forces since October 7, 2023.

here are some extra ones that made me break out in tears enjoy

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

rb and tell me what’s your most re watched movie.. and be honest

The Lost Boys. Hell, I saw it over 30 times in the theatre the summer it was released, thanks to it turning up at the $1 theatre that was 5 blocks from my house.
