“humanity is inherently selfish and bad” bbbrrrghuhjfkg. humanity is seeing a stranger’s grocery bag break open on the sidewalk and harvesting fruits and veggies from the branch-like cracks of the asphalt for them, just because you can. humanity is helping a lost child find their mother on a crowded beach, looking for the ladybug-patterned parasol with their hummingbird-small hand in yours. it’s an elder’s fingers wrapped around your arm as you help them up the stairs because the elevator is broken, and feeling like you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing, like this is what you would’ve been doing had you been alive centuries or even millennia ago. there will always be a heavily pregnant woman who will smile at your when you give up your seat, a nice blind man in the fruit aisle who will ask you to please pick the riper plantain for him, a tired cashier whose face will light up when you compliment their tattoo sleeve. humanity is connection

I spent my last couple $ getting gas for a job interview today. I’d really appreciate it if y’all could share this post, my Tarot services post, or consider getting a reading or a candle from me.

The war in Afghanistan doesn't seem to phase you, because it's not happening to you.

The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Palestine doesn't seem to phase you, because it's not happening to you.

The genocide of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang doesn't seem to phase you because it's not happening to you.

The genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Burma doesn't seem to phase you because it's not happening to you.

The farmer's protests in India doesn't seem to phase you, because it's not happening to you.

By choosing no side, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. You have chosen to do what is easy, instead of what is right. Just remember that when your children and grandchildren read and learn about the ethnic cleansing and genocides that we are currently witness to, make sure to let them know that you were there when it happened.

“I saw the red flags and warning signs, I heard the victims beg and plead for the world to not turn a blind eye against the injustices they face. I saw the children become orphans, I saw mothers bury their daughters. But it didn't phase me because it wasn't happening to me.”

“But as bad as it was, I learned something about myself … That I could go through something like that, and survive.”

— Nicholas Sparks

In which I ramble about a movie

The reason "A Silent Voice" works so well is that at no point does the story try to justfiy the fact that Ishida Shouya bullied Nishimiya Shouko.

No excuse about him having a hard home life.

No trying to say that he bullied her as a child because he had a crush on her at the time.

When he himself is bullied later on, the story doesn't use this as a way to nullify the fact that he bullied his classmate in the past.

His remorse is realistic and he starts to feel regret soon after Nishimiya has to switch schools. He feels responsible even though he wasn't the only student who bullied her, even though the teacher was probably the most responsible of all, as he purposefully turned a blind eye to his students' behavior.

Ishida goes out of his way to learn sign language in order to make amends. The story doesn't tell us how long he had spent on learning the language before he found her again. It could have been months, maybe years.

He doesn't feel deserving of Nishimiya's friendship, but she's the one who decides to forgive him, no one pressures her into doing so. And you agree with her decision because of how well Ishida and his redemption is written.

He focuses on making her life better, probably out of a mixture of gratitude and a desire to assuage his guilt.

Nishimiya also feels guilty despite being innocent. She thinks Ishida would be better off without her friendship, believing he's being stigmatized because of her disability. All the while Ishida wants to spend more time with her to make up for his past, and to make her realize she's not at fault.

The story also treats the characters' depression with respect and doesn't really romanticize it. You want these characters to be at peace with themselves, with each other, and with the other people in their lives.

TL;DR

"A Silent Voice" works because it doesn't try to justify the former bully's actions, shows that he feels genuine remorse and is willing to change his behavior of his own accord in order to make ammends, thus making his redemption and his friendship with Nishimiya all the more believable.

A comic about the spectrum of responses to stress - we talk alot about the more extreme ends of this and trauma, but the more subtle and every day responses can be harder to spot. if we can understand our own and other’s responses better, problems Are easier to confront and blaming is less likely to happen :) hope it’s helpful!!

During a sea-based battle on the Argo II, a fish got blasted out the water and onto the deck:

Percy, carefully putting it back in the water with the rest of its group: Stay in school kid.

Nico, facepalming: Oh my god.

Jason, absolutely cackling: I get it!

this is so damn funny lmaooo

One day I want to hug my lover from behind and sway to the soft music we'll have playing over the speakers in our home. I'll kiss whatever skin I can see and hum the melody into their shoulder blades. I want to distract them for a moment while I slowly move my hand down their arm to pull them away from the stove. I want to dance with them in the early morning sun that our windows expose us too. To be able to kiss their cheek as they giggle at me and move my arms to be placed at their waist. They'll turn around and let me lean against their back as they go back to cooking for the both us. Providing for the both of us. And I'll provide for them in my own way. As I continue to softly hum the sweet melody of the song until the next one plays. Then, I'll do it all over again, the repetition of my actions ensue onto this person I will love. We will be happy in our own time and place, and it will feel like it is just us in this strange little world.

I keep using my girlfriend with unusual work hours to get out of coworker interactions and happy hours and hanging out.

But now the company holiday party is upon us.

And I’ve been lying about the girlfriend.

I suddenly really empathise with the characters in Hallmark Christmas movies.

let's just stare at each other, with such passion that the moon will hide behind the leaves of the trees and pour her light on us, while we sit on the wooden bench outside the café where we had first met. let's just stare and invite each other to the silence of our lives filled with universes of emotions, because it's in eyes that we see, and it's in eyes that we speak.

Happy lesbian visibility day you may perceive me for today and today only, thank you
