IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

My favorite thrift store is separated by color. So if I'm next to the yellow aisle I don't look, because I don't look good in yellow, but the red and blue aisles? I definitely look on both sides.

But usually thrift stores are separated by type of clothing? Like dresses, skirts, pants, shirts...

No nuance. If you don't go thrift shopping, just answer whatever you think you would do, whichever option feels more logical to you. If you are incapable of contemplating what you would do in hypothetical situations, please turn off your device and go sit on the floor. If you have some third, alternative foraging method, please share in the tags.

אם אני רוצה להתאבד, אני מכינה פסטה עם חמאה ואולי גבינה. ב90% מהמקרים אני לא רוצה להתאבד יותר אחרי שאכלתי את הפסטה

אולי אני לא אובדנית כמו שחשבתי. אולי אני סתם רעבה.

people will say "why cant the eldritch gods just be nice to humans :((" and then kill a bug for existing near them

In the video game starbound you can play as an alien that was raised on earth. Learning about your specie's culture is as weird to you as learning about others (except humans)

Random idea: there are plenty of stories about human characters raised by nonhumans, who rediscover human society and decide whether they want to embrace their heritage or not. This goes back to Tarzan and probably much further. (Romulus & Remus?) But we don't see the reverse very often.

Sure we've got Spock and Worf, with their mixed upbringings, but they spend their lives in similarly mixed cultural spheres. That's very different from the Tarzan experience.

And sure, the point of these stories is usually to show how bizarre human civilization can be from an outsider perspective. Nothing wrong with that! Plus we as writers already know about human civilization. We don't need to do any worldbuilding there.

But I'd sure enjoy reading about a little dragon who was raised among housecats and human children discovering a dragon society where everything is fireproof and no one tells them to get off the table. The body language is alien and their endurance flying is garbage, but they can make a huge mess when they eat a rat, and they only get told to take a dust bath afterward!

A centaur discovering civilization where every room has enough space for people to turn around without knocking over a table. Pity there's no dogs here, though. They're gonna miss ol' Fluffers.

Goblins, harpies, elves, etc exploring the pros and cons of the cultures that should have raised them, if not for one particular turn of fate. Aliens too! This could be sci-fi as well as fantasy.

What the characters do about it is up to you.

This is what happened to me!!! And my friends now think I have no taste in TV and refuse to listen to my opinions about it

this is how i imagine showing doctor who to any of my friends:

*trash can eats a person and burps*

friend: i thought that this show is beautiful and changed you fundamentally as a person?

me: bro i swear it gets better

*skin pancake plays toxic*

my biggest gripe with the pro palestinian movement is the lying. you can have empathy and feel remorse for gazans without lying and peddling every antisemetic trope in the book

you can realise that palestinian arabs did not kindly welcome jews who made aliyah before and after the shoah, they are not indigenous or the canaanites, they have been violent against israelis and jews, a lot of them do support hamas, the nakba was a war started by palestinians that they lost to israel, the palestinian national identity is reactionary to the israeli national identity, palestinians are not genetically distinct grom other arabs in the middle east, palestine is literally a colonial name given to the land by the romans to mock the jews living there to sever our connection to the land and STILL have empathy for palestinians. you can realise that they arent a perfect innocent victim and still have empathy for them. the source of their suffering isnt israel or jews, its the antisemitic and imperialistic goals of islamist leaders AND STILL. FEEL. REMORSE

if you need to distort the history of this land and its people and use antisemitic tropes in order to support palestine, you are the fucking problem!!!!! arabs are to the middle east what white people are to the west, and they are not victims just be they face oppression if they live in the west. go speak to any person from the indigenous populations of the middle east and levant and they can tell u all abt what islamism and arabs have done to them snd their families if u refuse to believe us sneaky lying je- i mean zionists. oh wait, its gonna be so hard to do that bc the arab world is doing everything in its power to kill them all

tl dr, you dont need to lie to have empathy for palestinians. you can accept the dirty past of palestinians (just as many israelis still love this country despite it flaws, less then pretty history and incompetent, corrupt government) and still empathise and believe in their self determination alongside jewish and israeli self determination. the need to lie, distort and discredit the jewish and israeli story shows your true (antisemetic) colors

(this is a rant from feb that u put on my insta story, thought it should be seen here)

Palestinian reactions to peace proposals

Like the Animaniacs countries of the world song but make it SWANA history @idannimtso on IG
