i don’t think i truly understood cultural appropriation till i saw s5 of the vampire diaries
the season’s evil there are “the travellers” who abduct people’s bodies, are witches (or a variant of witches, idk) and are group-chanting spells in “czech”. now, fistly, for all the comprehension there is they could literally be chanting in ancient greek with zero difference. all their speeches are literally unintelligible. once a main guy dramatically screamed “viď!” to turn a guy into the bodysnatcher traveller and i was honestly impressed by his acting, this was the only time i distinguished a czech word. dude must’ve actually practiced with the google translate reading function - i refuse to believe there was more effort into their “czech” than a random google translate.
also, and this annoys me the most. the leader of the evil bunch is called markos. Markos. the czech version of the name marc is marek. THIS IS NOWHERE NEAR. NOWHERE. it only plays into my ancient greek theory.

I was just in this work meeting, and there was this guy with an Asian background, and while he did have a surname foreign to our close-minded Central European sensibilities he had an off-the-mill local calendar first name. And he's not the only person I've met who chose to do this. And I know it is deeper, heavier than this, but…
For a while, instead of paying attention to the meeting I kept thinking about the cusom of picking appropriate names for specific cultures, and how would world look like if we all got to pick a new, local first name in every country we stayed a while in.
I quite like Evelyn.

I don't know how many of you know this but Gaza's population is around 2 million people and about 80% are refugees. 1.7 million refugees. These people are descendants of Nakba survivors who were forced out of their original villages in what is now ""Israeli territory"". So Israel is not only carpet bombing a strip of land they caged 2 million people in but is massacring a population that is 50% children and 80% refugees.

Please ignore this post. I just badly need to scream into the void. But
I haven't had a husband for a full month and now we're spending the night at the ER because he lost the majority of sight in his good eye overnight and this is not what either of us signed up for, no matter how many gallows humor can we come up with.

i was quite normal thank u, running around trying to gather a wedding aesthetics and decorations that won’t make me cringe and/or would call to my inner desire to become a woodland witchfairy, minding my own business, until i tried to look up a nice embroidered veil that would spice up the simple white dress i picked and then i stumbled across a local seller that’s offering this
Tumblr media
and now i crave nothing less than to get married in a preraphaelite painting.

i have been on this planet for full thirty turns around the sun, and yet it never dawned on me that a solution to the brutal, days-long reflux and heartache god has plagued me with may just be seventh grader chemistry.
