“August 2nd. Something wants to be said but the words don’t agree.”
— Tomas Tranströmer, from “Baltics”, The Great Enigma: New Collected Poems (trans. Robin Fulton)
In honor of back-to-school.
It’s weird to grow up in a family where you know you’re loved but you don’t feel loved. And then later in adulthood you understand how almost impossible it seems to cross that distance and let yourself experience closeness, how otherworldly love feels now and how love feels unbearable at times. You flinch when someone tries to wholeheartedly love you. And over and over you see so clearly how you cannot be loved unless it's from afar and love is mixed with that familiar sensation of distance and coldness.

“I’d like to go quietly mad,”
— Vladislav Khodasevich, tr. by Michael Frayn, Twentieth Century Russian Poetry, from “Ballad,”
I wanna see how many of you actually reblog this.
is one-thirds underwater and over 30 million people have been displaced, the largest amount since partition. Over 1000 people have died, hundreds of them children. Countless more are left without shelter, food, water, and healthcare. The climate disaster is real and achingly tragic, right in front of my eyes. It's swallowing my country up and I don't know when it will stop. Even when the flooding stops, its consequences won't be over. People have lost their homes, their loved ones, their livelihoods. Pakistan is doing its best which is not even close to enough, so donations are much needed.
Personally, I am not donating to any politically-affiliated flood relief funds, and given the political corruption in this country, I advise others against it. But there are good people, good charities and NGOs doing their best to mitigate the effects. They are on the ground (and in the water) delivering crucial aid to those that need it. It's important to note that at the time of writing, 1 USD = 220 PKR, which buys a lot more than you know, so every dollar really does count. Here is are some trustworthy organizations that I recommend, if you can contribute:
1. Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan
2. Doctors Without Borders Pakistan
3. Pakistan Red Crescent
If you can, please donate whatever possible. If not, please signal boost, and keep Pakistan in your prayers. Thank you ❤️
I mean, it probably goes without saying, but the Found Family trope is so popular because so very many people are so terribly, terribly lonely
reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts
Maybe if I lay in the grass long enough the dandelions will overtake me and I don't have to do human things anymore.
