Every single time Hoozuki and Hakutaku meet each other.
If anyone wants to directly help a Palestinian family reunite in the UK, this young graduate student is trying to get her daughter out of Gaza. The UK government makes the visa process as difficult as possible, and the only thing that makes it easier is money. This fundraiser has already raised a good sum, but I know from experience that every penny counts, so please donate or share if you can.
Looks like she's close to her £15,000 goal, but is still about £2300 short. This is a mother who made the tough decision to take the opportunity of a lifetime to go study for a year in the UK and leave her daughter with her mother, only to have the war start. Her mother and daughter are now temporarily sheltered in Rafah and need funds for family reunification.
It sounds like a waking nightmare for a parent, please help if you can.
Keep this going! It looks like she's only £710 away from her goal now!
i forgot when kim dokja first meets yoo jonghyuk he tells him he was a fan of his pro gaming career. god that makes all of their early interactions so much funnier. yoo jonghyuk voice why does this guy act so familiar with me........tch.......must be one of those parasocial fans......<- guy who is right in the worst way possible
also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.
there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.
you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.
but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.
oh, i am finally old enough to know why my parents took so long to grab their coats. why they would ask us to get ready to go only to sit down for another round of coffee. what would i tell myself, at 10 years old? it’s okay. sit down with them too. take in the extra hour with your friend and her family. when you get home, write down every moment in your diary. one day you will be older and you will be waving goodbye to your best friend, and you will turn the key to start your beat up little car engine, and you will look back over your shoulder. her hair will be blowing in the wind and she will be beautiful and you will be, for a moment, struck by all of it. what you will feel is so wide and nameless that it will engulf you. and you will think of being 14 and kicking her under the table in math every time you wanted to whisper something behind the teacher’s back. you will think about how long the days felt, and how you could hold her hand whenever you wished, but you didn’t. and you will think about all of the people you could have lingered with. and you will wish, more than you have ever felt a wish, that the universe just gave you that - more time to linger. more time to say - i love you. i know i need to leave, but i don’t want to leave you. and when i go, i am leaving a piece of my heart that lingers too.
one more round of coffee. the days are so short, and you are so lovely.
“The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it.” (mikko harvey)

not a bathroom for ftms, a bathroom that is ftm
i dont think usamericans rly understand how prevalent their culture is. english is taught in schools. we hear about usa news, watch usa shows and movies, know usa actors, read usa books, listen to usa music, have usa brands. i have a shirt somewhere with some usa flag motive from like 15 years ago. cant remember why i even have it. why were they even selling that in croatia. your books and culture are everywhere, you dominate social media, and then come on here whenever someone gives even a middle criticism and act like spoiled children because someone wants you to open an atlas
Partially related but a lot of usamericans also love to pull the whole "You just don't know how bad things are here. We have food deserts and a shitty education ststem and no opportunities for disadvantaged people and fascism and etc. etc." whenever you criticise them or say that they benefit from imperialism or anything like that.
1. We all know about the problems the US has. You guys dominate political discourse too. You can't take two steps in any political space on the internet without hearing about the socio-economic problems of the US.
2. Many countries have the same problems. Many countries have the same problems but worse. Many countries have the same problems plus a bunch of extra problems on top. In many cases due to something the US has done and continues to do to this day. You are not exceptional.
3. Having socio-economic problems does not stop you from benefiting from imperialism. It does not stop your country from being the imperial core. It does not stop your country from holding a cultural and economic hegemony over most of the planet. It also does not excuse you from thinking Egypt is in Eastern Europe. It does not excuse you from joining the US military or working for Raytheon or Lockheed Martin just because you're queer or whatever else.
the worst part is that Maid Cafes started up long after Hooters (which started in 1983), first showing up in the 90s and the first permanent one not showing up until 2001.
So Hooters isn't an American version of a Maid Cafe, Maid Cafes are Japanese Hooters.
100+ dead tonight in a terrorist attack in Iran. Three months of total siege by Israeli forces in Gaza. Israeli attacks on both Hamas and Hezbollah officials in Lebanon within the last 24 hours. Shia militias exchanging fire with US forces stationed in Iraq and Syria on what seems to be a daily basis. Turkish airstrikes on Syrian Kurds. Escalating hostilities between the Houthis and US-led naval forces in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The Middle East is closer to the edge of large-scale warfare right now than at any other point in many years, and the Biden administration has been escalating the situation, without pause, across multiple dimensions. The US government is severely underestimating the risks of what it’s doing right now
