White people saying "Don't you dare call me a racist" is so ridiculous.
If you're called out, there's little chance you are innocent. Ask what you did wrong. That's how you grow. Don't get all defensive and don't go hiding in your shell. People of color know better than you if you're being racist, simply because they're the ones who experience it.
Btw I'm white, that's just me getting annoyed at such people
Have you ever gotten over a crush in one day? It has happened to me recently. I liked this girl sooo much, dreamt about dating her. When we were out in the city and she would touch my knee or put her head on my shoulder, I felt this physical need to touch her and kiss her... But she's straight, and although I want her not to be, she doesn't have feelings for me. She likes me as a friend quite a lot, and a lot of the stuff she's said and done can fool a desperate queer girl like me, but..
And when I finally accepted that I just felt... That I don't have a crush on her anymore. Like, I completely lost that feeling and I can just enjoy her company and be myself around her without losing my head.
P. S. NOW I WORRY THAT MAYBE I JUST MADE EVERYTHING UP AND I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A CRUSH ON HER i hate myself.
Isn't it crazy that a small group of people are directly responsible for the death of thousands of people? They could've fucking prevented this. But they didn't fucking care and now this is what the survivors have to deal with. Grief, loss, destruction.
Watch the video till the very end please (the end is when the explosion goes off.)
I live in Lebanon and the fiercest explosion went off in the midst of Beirut today, killing off an ungodly amount of human beings (more and more people are dying as I write this) and injuring up to 5000 people whose cases are immensely critical. Today,, at approximately 6 pm, hospitals were completely torn to shreds, people have been buried underneath fallen buildings, fires have been ignited almost everywhere, blood staining the streets in an excruciating manner, in addition to people that flew and fell to the sea due to the impact of the explosion. And it is certainly worth mentioning the millions upon millions' worth of damages what with buildings and cars and stores. Plenty of people are missing, it's an overall mess that is quite frankly very traumatizing.
What Lebanese people have been undergoing in recent times:
Lebanon has been going through a major economical decline that grows worse and worse by the day. The prices have heightened and the salaries remain the same, scarcely anyone has the capacity of affording basic needs anymore. There has been an unfolding revolution the past year, and the lebanese society has been protesting against the humiliation thrust upon our lives due to our miserable excuse for a government, and though the streets bled with thrashing, screaming citizens fighting for their utmost basic human rights, that caused mere to no change in the way things go around here, in fact, it only made it worse. We're being provided with, metaphorically, a droplet's worth of water and nearly no electricity, a pregnant woman has even passed away recently due to a heat stroke (as there were no means of cooling off)
What caused the setting off of this explosion?
The ignorance, heartlessness, and overall brutality of the government and the people in control.
A critical amount of chemicals (2700 tons of ammonium and other nitrates) were left inside a ship along the port of Beirut, and though the people in charge of this transaction were warned that heat and perspiration have the capability of destroying the whole of Lebanon in ode to a massive explosion, they refused to do anything about it and left the chemicals in there for years on end.
Up until, surprise surprise, the explosion went off and devestated Lebanon almost entirely.
I don't have much followers, and I know that this post isn't going to magically heal what is unfolding in this, priorly gorgeous, magnificent country, but I truly hope with all my heart that you find it within yours to spread awareness on this topic so that it would be more widespread,, so that Lebanon gets the aiding it deserves and the people from outer places slap the 'big bosses' awake, or at least pressure them into resigning, whatever it takes to make this place sufferable, tolerable, somewhere you can picture yourself residing in.
Lebanon is a place of infinite traditions, diversity, creativity, joy, and love. Most of the people here are open-hearted and wholesome. We all deserve far better.
My heart aches for the people that have passed away today, and I shall pray for the ones stuck in hellish suffering.
This is important.
Forgot I had a Tumblr again
here’s a video
That FBI guy was so American he thought Vanya was Russian but no Russian in their right mind would call a girl Vanya because it's a boy's name (short for Ivan)
Me entering the classroom having listened to War and Peace for 7 hours straight running on 4 hours of sleep, coffee and anxiety
During these tough times reading books doesn't feel productive anymore bc that's basically all I do
I didn't want to ship. But it seems I do
FELLAS IS IT GAY IF—
That story about some christians sending petitions to *Netflix* asking to cancel Good Omens is fucking hilarious. Like... They didn't even care to c h e c k
Pining for my crush who is magical and possibly maybe even not queer, I have now come here to lament. This is not helping
Ideal relationship of a dark academic
Reading books together in front of a fireplace, sipping on hot tea as you lean into each others warmth
Gently holding hands as you walk through the streets, quietly telling eachother about your days
Painfully cheesy pickup lines
Wearing their jacket because they insist it will be warmer than yours, despite just wanting their jacket to smell like you
Wandering around the mall together, playfully arguing over whether you should go to Cinnabon
Going to book stores together and losing track of time
“When we move in together, we should have our own little library”
Beethoven playing gently in the background as you have your first kiss
“I got us tickets to that play you were talking about”
Getting so caught up in the relationship that you forget to tell anyone about it
Going to see old movies
The kind of love where you don’t have to say anything, being in each other’s presence is enough
I know dark academia, cottagecore and whatnot are very appealing aesthetics, but what if I'm too disorganized, poor and sleep-deprived to maintain them? Can we just create "shithole aesthetic" or something like that?
