"I wouldn't want to bother anyone," I say as the thing inside of me eats me alive.
snoopy of the day
“i don’t owe anyone anything” is one of the most incredibly callous and damaging phrases to enter popular vernacular. you owe everyone kindness and consideration, always. understand the idea of a social contract. you cannot reap the benefits of human society and interaction while maintaining such a cold and thankless attitude about it. i mean you can but you’d be a bad person for it
sometimes that sad feeling is due to low blood sugar, and sometimes it's from decades of history. not that complex
Womp
May u have a very womping day
womp womp womp womp womp! Now my teacup, sir wompsalot, will sulk for a week.
[i've never doubted that palestine will live.
the US dropped more than 7.5 million tons of bombs on vietnam, laos and cambodia from 1965-75. they destroyed our land, used agent orange, slaughtered villages, separated families, the list goes on.
but we're. still. here.
indigenous people are still here. black people are still here. colonized people are resilient. even if you kill our people, ban our languages, destroy our homes, heritage sites and artifacts, we will always find a way to keep our cultures alive and that has always been true
so much of the west and isntreal's tactics and actions are hauntingly familiar to me as a viet person. its a colonizer's rinse and repeat. and so that's how i know palestine will be free. we've seen this film before]

I usually keep my private feelings and thoughts to myself and don't usually mix politics with leisure, but I can't do that with this. Not when the people of Palestine are begging us not to leave them alone while they're being brutalized. If you haven't vocalized your support, do it now. It's having a positive impact, people's opinions are changing. If you feel like you don't know enough to speak on it, then come talk to me. I'll help you, but please. To stay silent now is to tacitly support genocide.
Don't look away from this. Look at their faces, remember their humanity. Reach inside and find the empathy you hold. Don't forget them, and don't let the people who have condemned them forget, either. May they feel even a little of the grief and fear they've inflicted on the people of Palestine.
i really dont want to come off as an asshole and act like im not sympathetic but i think the idea that it is an appropriate thing to do to respond to posts about about positive experiences made by strangers with long and graphic vents about how your own life is nothing like that really has to end. i’m very sorry you’re going through that. but it’s just. really not appropriate.
every august without fail is like i will give you some of the most beautiful golden summer moments of your life but also you will be thinking about childhood and loss constantly. it will always be either 5pm or 2am
