Sound On Please

i wanted to show everyone my favorite tiktok

the creator of this tiktok, zainah.mb, has many family members in palestine who have been martyred. at least 37, in fact. if you would like to help her out financially, she runs a hijab shop called modest behavior, and sells sister minnie merch. here's a link to her paypal as well.

as far as i know, she doesn't live in palestine, but she is palestinian. consider supporting her

Salad

so apparently when my sister and i were little we took golfing classes and we got kicked out after a week. the reason being that the old white male instructor kept calling my 4 year old sister Maria “Mary” after she told him several times that her name is pronounced Maria. anyway, at one point, he tells her “well, that doesn’t matter anymore. you’re in America now.” and that distressed my sister so much that she hit him with her golf club.

that’s not what did the damage, though. what fucked that old dude up is that i saw my sister hit him from where i was standing and i ran over and started beating him with MY golf club. my mom says that i didn’t know what the hell was happening, but i squared up.

that’s why we got kicked out.

I support your unconditional readiness to throw hands for your sister

make racists afraid again

I love those translations of Chinese tiktoks that go around because a) it’s shown me that the internet is the internet everywhere and when humans have the opportunity to get weird they will do it and b) the people translating these things have done the work to filter through all of the terrible videos on the Chinese internet to only show me the good ones and I am eternally grateful to them for that. They’re like the other people that repost tiktoks to tumblr but with even more work involved

"English added by me" my beloved

When I see people sharing so much of their kids' lives, I think about that one time my child told a joke, I shared that joke with ONE FRIEND in a private conversation, and my child said "can you please ask me next time, before you tell people something about me?"

And, yes, I absolutely should. So I apologized, and now I ask.

"I love that video of you, can I show it to a friend?"

"Can I tell a friend about how clever you were just now?"

"Can I share this in the family group chat?"

"Can I show your art to grandma and grandpa?"

And it's not like my kids don't like when I share their jokes and puns and fun moments. They love it! But they want to have control over what I share with people. Even without their faces or their names. Even people we know and trust.

And they deserve to have that control.

This is SO important. Our kids are growing up in an environment with virtually no privacy, and where stupid things can live forever. Minors should have as many rights as an adult to control what information you or anyone spreads about them.

Gray day

[id: a comic in four panels, painted in cool colors, featuring a round songbird in the rain and altered lyrics to “Rain Rain Go Away”.

“Rain, rain, rain all day.” The bird perches amid the leaves, watching the rain.

“Rain to make that perfect gray.” The bird’s face, and beyond the sky in watercolor grays.

“Rain to keep people away.” The bird looks up at the falling raindrops, perched amid branches festooned with berries.

“Rain so I can puddle play.” The bird stands in a small puddle that looks like a pond for it, clover looking like lilies.]/end id.

The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.

Man if I heard that shit while descending upon a strange land with my brethren I'd straight up dig a hole to die in right the and there, fuck the emperor fuck the gods that's a warning straight from the bones of an older evil and whatever is coming is worse than death
