My favorite part of 'next year in Jerusalem' is being in Jerusalem while singing it. It's not next year. It's now.
Zionism is not evil, it is not responsible for any sins in this world, and it is certainly not a modern invention. It is the fucking foundational premise of my religion, and it has existed before your shitty country, before my shitty country, and it will continue to exist long after every one of us are dead and gone.
צבא: בואי
אני: אוקיי. *יוצאת בשש וחצי מהבית, קופאת מקור ונרטבת בגשם*
צבא: אה דרך אגב רצינו אותך בעשר בכלל
צבא: אבל נכון לא ביקשנו שתביאי כלום חוץ מתעודת זהות? אז את אמורה להביא את כל קורות החיים שלך
צבא: שאין לך ואת צריכה לבקש
צבא: אז נפגש בעוד חודש?
Yes yes yes!!! And they aren't developing the side characters, so no one can slap him in the face and tell him to talk to somebody. We NEED more side characters? The bank dude? I NEED to see him talking to Mat about his feeling or something. Heather? Matt just fucking tell her you are daredevil it ain't that hard. The lawyer woman? I don't even know her name because we never hear from her. How is it I feel more connected to Fisk's assistant (the dude) then to ANY OTHER SIDE CHARACTER??? He isn't even good but he is the only character we get to know other than Matt. Use the Ayala girl!! Use Frank Castle! Or hell, any other defender. ANYONE!!! PLEASE
I think one of the reasons I miss Foggy and Karen is Matt has no one to really talk to in this season (not even a priest!). His relationships with his work and life partners are both new (and feel undercooked, especially as both are based on a high degree of deception), and his interactions with Cherry are limited.
I get to some degree this is deliberate - Matt is untethered in the same way Fisk, partially estranged from Vanessa, is and they both revert to old ways. But it does feel like we are more removed from Matt than ever and I miss the old dynamic.
עד שיעלו לי עוד רעיונות לסקר ממתקים, אני עושה סקר כן/לא על מאכלים ומתוקים כאלה ואחרים
תעשו ריבלוג אנשים, אנחנו רוצים אחוזים מדוייקים יותר
if rtd wasn’t a coward he would have cut to the opening credits right at the moment when Old Ruby’s heart monitor flatlined, and then clifftops 2: electric boogaloo would have been the only part of the episode that wasn’t the cold open
How the hell did I get caught up in an argument about Dick's skin tone again? 😭
DRAW HIM ANYWAY YOU WANT, AND LET ME DRAW HIM ANYWAY I WANT.
I struggle to comprehend those of you who say Israel is prolonging this war because they "want" to. Because they want to hurt other people, or because they want to conquer the middle east, all the reasons are equally stupid.
Do any of you really think any of us WANT to be doing this? Do the parents WANT to be crying over the graves of their children? Do the soldiers WANT to be fighting for their lives and possibly losing them in the heat and the fire and the dust? Do the refugees from the endangered areas WANT to be crammed in hotel rooms with thousands of strangers? Do the loved ones of the hostages WANT to be outside in all kinds of weather, screaming for their return?
Do the kids WANT to be drawing the soldiers pictures so they'll have something to smile at amid the death and destruction? Do the teenagers WANT to spend hours on their feet packaging food and supplies?
Does every single citizen in this country WANT to dread every knock on the door and every telephone call?
I don't think the word "want" is in the vocabulary of this war. I know that the distance between the average leftist overseas and the average Israeli is pretty unbridgeable right now, but surely this can't be that difficult to understand. We are currently thinking in terms of survival. There is no "want" and "don't want" involved in this war anymore. There is "need", "must" and "fuck, I guess we have to do this, don't we?".
That's about it.
Hope that cleared something up.
I bet octopuses think bones are horrific. I bet all their cosmic horror stories involve rigid-limbs and hinged joints.

If there's one thing that humanizes me to my fellow productive member of society, it's that I love a good button. Elevators, jukeboxes, medical equipment: if you make a quality button, I will push the hell out of it. I've bought tons of things on impulse, just because the buttons were of a high quality.
What that device is does not really matter to me. Like I just said, I'll buy anything if it's satisfying to push. And lots of high-quality, expensive stuff just... isn't. There's no excuse for why your hugely pricey stereo system feels worse to jab your finger into than any given Fisher-Price toddler toy.
I didn't know much about buttons at all when I was a kid. Just took them for granted, like you do for so many other things: gravity, breathable air, the option for grandpa to hide you from family services when they start wondering why your mom and dad are off auditioning for the circus again instead of feeding you. Buttons, though, have a long and fascinating history. And you won't read about it here, because we have things to do.
So if you're about to throw something away that has a satisfying button on it, pry that button out and keep it. You'll wish you had it the next time you encounter something with a button that sucks. And it's not like the police can really get you for "vandalism" just because you pried out that bullshit touch screen from your apartment elevator and crammed a nice Otis part in there. At least, not if you do a good enough job of wiring.
I'm using the fact aromanticism is trending to ask: elder aros, how do you know? I don't know if I have a crush on someone or I just love them very intensely in a platonic way
