It still feels like we're the hungry band playing five nights a week at O'Shea's trying to get everybody to come to our original shows that weekend. And dammit, we're gonna pull 'em in.

#imagine dragons #ramble alert #i was rewatching live in vegas and ngl this part really got me #esp the interspersed clips from the early years #their music is just. so personal to me and it has been for 10 years #i went from casual listener to having their songs as the soundtrack to the most important events in my life #catching midnight trains alone across europe to see them #and i just. idk man. their music holds such a special place in my heart #being able to witness the long long journey is so so incredible to me

here’s an ask game that’s also a cry for help: hit shuffle on your “on repeat” playlist and tell me what you get so i can listen to it and tell you what i think of it and maybe add it to my library

When we're looking at why Wei Wuxian took so long to even consider that Lan Wangji might really like him, I think we should maybe place more weight on that time when they were trapped in a cave together at around age eighteen, and Lan Wangji told him his dad was dying and started to cry and Wei Wuxian was like SHIT and fidgeted awkwardly for a while like ahhhhh I hate when people cry especially men what do I do????

And then he tried to find something to say and Lan Wangji was like 'shut up' and he shut up, and Lan Wangji said 'you're a loathsome person' and he shut up so hard he left him alone for three entire days.

Like if I spent three days trapped in hell with someone, restraining myself from reaching out for human interaction because not subjecting them to my personality was literally the only thing I could do to help with their state of misery.

I would have a real hard time letting go of the understanding that the thing this person wanted from me was not to have to deal with me.

HAPPENING NOW: passover seder from our comrades in columbia's liberated zone/gaza solidarity encampment. this encampment is a profoundly religious space. we've seen muslim protesters praying multiple times a day, a christian communion was held, and multiple jewish prayers/celebrations have taken place. solidarity is a beautiful thing, palestine will be free.🖤🇵🇸

edit: @saffronlesbian was kind enough to make an image description for this post!

[id: a tweet from Arielle Angel @/ArielleLAngel with a photo of a large group of university students, most of whom are wearing surgical or kN95 masks, sit on a large tarp on the ground, inside of the circle formed by several tents. in the middle of the circle is a collection of several containers of food, a protest sign that reads, "pesach means solidarity and liberation" (note: pesach is the hebrew word for passover), and a person kneeling and holding up the seder plate, upon which can prominently be seen a boiled egg and a large orange. the tweet's caption reads, " Explaining the seder plate at the Colombia encampment. These students truly embody the meaning of Passover in their provisional seder and their commitment to liberation." /end id.]

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

This is what 5 months of intentional starvation looks like.

"Palestinians in Gaza demonstrate the impact of the Israeli and Egyptian blockade by stepping on scales to reveal their weight loss." from Mint Press, 15/Mar/2024:

No one is discrediting the student protests. I myself am a student who is partaking in largely student-coordinated protests, drives, campaigns… but I also understand that we are largely missing the point if coverage of these protests overshadows what they are actually protesting for—the atrocities committed on Palestinians every single day. As the western buzz around this genocide gets more and more coverage, the coverage of the genocide itself sharply declines. It’s true and I see it every single day. Things are not being reported with the precision and diligence they should be.

#one of these is my alma mater and let me tell you the cash flows within these schools are crazy #the students are protesting vocally and relentlessly because they know what kind of violence the money is involved in #these schools are corporations whose operations are so deeply involved in violence in other countries outside of the us #thats why student activism is so important. you gotta hit them where it hurts and where it hurts is from the inside #protest. call them the fuck out. force their hands to divest their money

The sick reality is that many of the renowned academics and writers among Gaza's thousands of martyrs will, in twenty years time, be quoted and memorialised by the same universities and institutions that have denigrated them and enabled their slaughter.
