spent more time than I want to admit this weekend working on a shape cutout thing for the illustrations and fucking hated the results, so I ended up just searching up images and then combining and editing things that I liked
here's the final product. I've included the PNGs I printed from in case you liked the blessing and you're the kind of person who would give a homemade card, too. mine is printed on toned cardstock; trimmed card dimensions are 4.5x12" printed, 4.5"x6" folded.
I think anybody over 40 playing rock on stage is cringey
did you know that in addition to continuing hobbies and pastimes they did as a young person, sometimes old people fuck??
:the-more-you-know:
I did not understand orgasms or realize I wasn't having them with my partners until I finally did have one. 😂 I genuinely didn't understand that it could feel that good until it did.
Another win for abstinence-based sex ed in rural America!
That is hilarious!
Ignoring for a moment the right of an occupied people to resist their oppression: "Hamas" does not include all Palestinians or all residents of Gaza. There are innocent civilians in Gaza, and collective punishment is against international law.
But back to that right: could you please point to an example of an oppressed people successfully freeing themselves non-violently?
Any thoughts on the decades of increasing oppression the Palestinian people have suffered or are you just pretending this uprising is happening in a vacuum?
What is the permissible amount of violence with which to respond to attempted genocide?
I hate to be callous
Then don't be?
They addressed this in the Hamas press conference - not only do they not have enough personnel to answer all the calls for help they were getting from people trapped in the rubble, but they don't have the equipment to move the rubble, and also it keeps getting bombed so they wouldn't even be able to do much even if they had the people and equipment.
There was a minor map glitch in my neighborhood that kept directing people to my house instead of my friend's house half a mile down the road, and it took me actual weeks of effort (persistent back and forth with them, repeatedly sending map screenshots and data from the county auditor, refusing to let my case get closed, etc) to get it corrected, which I had assumed was because it was a relatively small thing affecting a couple dozen people a year.
People fruitlessly asking them to fix a bridge out notice for 10 fucking years is horrifying.
Me too, this is one of the main things that stuck with me. Honestly, idk how to think of myself except in relation to my service to community, it has really shaped my entire experience of the world.
It's not unreasonable or excessive to respond violently to oppression.
I'm here to represent the "Cilantro Tastes Like Soap, But I Like That!" crew.
this was a devastating read
