do you really think these people take public transport? or even notice their energy bills, because after house no. 4 it all blends together?

Imagine seeing the effect privatisation has had on Britain’s water, energy and railways and thinking yes, we need more of that.

rule 1: begin with a thought (as if it’s some kind of law)

rule 2: merge all of the ‘you’-s (as if only one did the hurt)

rule 3: make sure it’s short (as if you’ve said all you came here to say)

rule 4: don’t say who it’s for (hope that will tempt them to stay)

i know 16 year olds who aren’t allowed to take a bus by themselves for 15 minutes to meet their friends in the town centre. our town is tiny, there’s a population of maybe 30,000 and most of that is retired people and young families. how are these children supposed to become functional adults if the idea of making autonomous decisions unsupervised is presented as dangerous and untenable? can you imagine having never been allowed to take a bus and suddenly having to live on your own?

tumblr friendships are hard to maintain like im sorry i know i havent talked to you in 5 months but you’re still super rad and i still consider us friends im just dumb

If any of you ever feel like what you're doing for Palestine isn't helping anything, I'll tell you right now it's helping me. I know it is fortifying all of us who have been in this fight for years to see so many people willing to speak up. It has never been like this before.

The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.

Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how "the blame" is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.

Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.

We see you. We see you standing in solidarity with us and with Palestinians. We love you. Thank you.

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

i really want to understand why people think political correctness is a bad thing. can’t say what you want anymore? yeah, it’s called tolerance. it’s called respect and consideration. this is especially confusing when people criticise politicians for being politically correct. like, you don’t want them to measure their words? speak and disrespect as few people as possible? be nuanced and articulate?

would love to get it but i’m increasingly suspecting people just aren’t comfortable with other people getting considered when spoken about.
