knitting/chrocheting while hanging out with friends is so funny like everyone shut up for a few minutes i have to count to 115. twice

the last line hit me like a fuckin sledgehammer

I’m so emotional about dinosaur stuffed animals,,, there are these creatures, extinct long before any of us were alive, but we found their bones and their eggs and their footprints. And we made drawings and models of what they could’ve looked like. And we made them into stuffed animals so we could hold them. We made them soft so we could love them. I’m sobbing

Yeah, we're the animal so preoccupied with petting other animals we're sort of collectively upset there are animals we never get to pet, so we make proxies to snuggle and tell their ghosts we'd have loved them if they were here.

...and tell their ghosts we'd have loved them if they were here.

Hang on i just have to cry for a minute

LOOK AT THIS ELEPHANT BOOPING A GIRAFFE

im starting to think you guys dont like it when stories make you feel things

hm, people don’t like being in pain? Huh! It’s almost like pain is unpleasant? Or something?

or rather, the extreme ends of pain?

whoda thunk

angst: tolerable, the character is still alive

death: the author is maximizing pain when they have the power to just. not.

idk how this isn’t pretty common sense.

speak for yourself i love pain if a story isnt making me sob over a characters brutal demise its a 0/10

U.S. conservatives always talk about creating jobs but get SO MAD whenever anyone mentions banning prison labor like imagine the insane ammout of jobs that would be created literally overnight if companies in your country had to actually employ people instead of using slave labor from people that got caught with weed 10 years ago.

Daily reminder that the US, who love to scaremonger about "communist labour camps," have legal slave labour if you're in prison

When I made this post just ten days ago, it was about mass graves discovered at Al Shifa hospital and now we have learned that the same had happened at Nasser hospital in Gaza. The same genocidal pattern: a hospital is put under siege, patients and medical staff are abducted, tortured and buried in mass graves.

But to build on the last point I wanted to bring attention to in the previous post, it is very crucial to also keep in mind is that the Palestinian Civil Defence have reported that Israel had deliberately concealed the identities of those it killed and buried in these mass graves. Close to 400 bodies have been buried in these mass graves, 58% of the recovered bodies have not been identified.

In a press conference, a spokesperson of the civil defence in Gaza said that Israel had intentionally disfigured the bodies postmortem in order to remove any identifying markers such as birthmarks. He also mentioned that they suspect that the bodies have been placed in body bags that expedited the decomposition process, destroying any possibility of them being identified.

One of the main and only ways families have been able to identify the bodies of their loved ones is through the clothes they remember them wearing the last time they saw them. I saw a video of a mother identifying her son by his striped jacket. You can see the grief mixed with relief that she will be able to give her son proper burial.

Remember when months ago I said that to be identified and buried in Gaza has become a luxury? This is very much still the case.

People are getting really really fascist about peaceful protesters and it’s getting scary lol

Simultaneously holding up America as a golden standard of democracy compared to literally any other country but especially the ones populated by backwards nonwhite people while saying “lol it’s your fault if a cop brutalizes you just obey their commands or pay the price” like do you hear yourself

just so you know how these campuses deal with actual antisemitism

cmon child safety lid you know it's me

I should reread the hunger games honestly. It's been like a decade probably
