but i stay silly

companies are delusional if they think consumers don't notice shrinkflation. less food in the package, less medicine in the jar, less whatever in the wherever, it doesn't matter where and it's almost always noticeable. like i just finished one box of medicine and we opened another allegedly identical one that we just bought and lo and behold, the four middle medicine segments were gone from the package. they took out four pills from the same sized box and sold it at the same price without any indication on the box other than the small number in the corner. ridiculous

I bought a carton of my favorite tomato soup last week and noticed that the nutrition facts looked weird. So I compared the new one to the mostly empty carton already in my fridge.

The serving size was the same, but the calories per serving had gone down by like 15. Odd. The ingredients list previously listed tomato as the first ingredient, and then water. Now water is first. They’re watering down the fucking soup and charging the same for it. I’m so fucking done.

ID: a tweet by @/ajplus AJ+ that reads “Bisan Owda has just won one of broadcast journalism's highest honors – the Peabody Award – for her work with AJ+.

Bisan is currently facing instance Israeli bombardment in Rafah in the Occupied Gaza Strip. This is a message to the world:”

And there's a video attached to the tweet.

VD: a video of Bisan speaking about her experiences, the solidarity for Palestinian liberation and her gratitude for people standing with Palestine. The video is captioned “Bisan and AJ+ have won the Peabody Award”. It also shows clips of what Palestinians are going through and protests for Palestine.

Transcript: Hey everyone, this is Bisan from Gaza, Rafah. I'm still alive. Thank god. And this is a very important event, so allow me, please, to speak in my native language. Acknowledging journalists' efforts at this time is really important to me. It shows the world what's happening to us. At a time when the [Israeli] occupation is murdering us – journalists, doctors, medics and civilians, as if we are supporting terrorism. We rise to simply document the genocide happening to our people and we expose the oppression to the world. I don't believe, and no one in the world should believe, that a terrorist is someone who strikes to make people's voices heard. A terrorist is someone who commits genocide, supports genocide, stands by genocide, remains silent during genocide, and rejoices genocide. The victory of Palestinian cause was never just for Palestinians; it is a rather victory for humanity. The Palestinians [cause] is like the sun, it cannot be covered by a veil. And justice will find it's way back to its rightful owners eventually. The primary tactic of the occupation is to divide the people and to create conflicts among them are we can never support one another. And right now, we are destroying one of the occupation's strongest tools by standing with eachother worldwide. Therefore, I dedicate this award to all the college students who are protesting, to all the people who took the streets, to all the people at home who are participating in boycotts, to all the people worldwide regardless of their religion, color, ethnicity and kind. Regardless of what makes them different, they're united in one mission: In their demands for a free Palestine. You deserve this award. And so do we. And one day, this genocide will end. And Palestine will be free. And we will welcome you here. On Gazan soil. All of you. Gaza [is open to you all], thank you so much for this award and for always supporting us, standing by us, and for continuing to do so until we achieve our demands: An end to the genocide. A ceasefire. And a free Palestine. This award is for all the voices of liberation around the world. And Palestine and abroad. We will remain holding on to our land, and documenting the truth. [And I hope] you will remain in the streets, calling for a free Palestine. Free Palestine, free Palestine. Palestine will only be free.

I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache

life just goes on no matter what

collecting a bevy of babas

it will be less than a year until james somerton puts up a post on whatever platforms hes still wringing dry like Hey this is his doctor... james just went into a coma while doing community service :( btw when we scanned his brain the section responsible for honesty was very large, almost dangerously so. and his haircut did not look strange, medically speaking

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling

these exchanges and this fiddling about for the collective to appreciate in passing is, to me, true artistic spirit. I don't know what the past was truly like to live, but in my heart i know that humans have always been... like this

Dogs will be like: you want my wetttt toy?
