#(BTW THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANYONE I KNOW IRL!!!)

It kind of sucks when you want to be silly funny but sometimes people take that as you being stupid dumb and they talk down to you as a result as if you don’t recognize the shit game they’re playing.

#irl stuff #or you like to rp silly or dumb characters and the person you’re talking to thinks you’re acting out of experience #you think you’re better than the clowns when you’re standing in MY circus #I still know people like this and I still talk #but that’s only because if I stopped then I wouldn’t have anyone to talk to #not that everyone that I interact with acts this way #but it feels like the people I talk to the most only talk to ne to elevate themselves by standing on my back #this isn’t about anyone here btw 😉 #had a bad interaction and I don’t have anywhere else to vent

Me with who

I trusted, Let you in

Let you see through my broken skin

Let you tell me, People would love me

Not get sick of me, Get rid of me

I know you rarely open your Tumblr from your browser but if ever you do so, well, sana matamaan ka.

I have what’s going to be a really unpopular take but please just hear me out. Lately a lot of fellow Jewish bloggers on this website have (rightfully!!) been getting annoyed by random people going into their inboxes and asking if they’re Zionist, how they feel about Israel, etc. And I totally empathize with that because I’m an anti-Zionist Jew so I spend a lot of time correcting people’s assumptions that I must support Israel because I’m Jewish. Furthermore, I want Zionism to stop being seen as a central, undeniable part of being Jewish because that makes Jews like me feel pretty unwelcome. And I am aware that those asks often accuse us of dual loyalty, an antisemitic stereotype. So I’m not saying bloggers should have to answer those asks, or that they can’t get mad about them.

However, I think bloggers are wrong when they say that they can’t affect or change what happens in Israel because they’re American Jews (or otherwise diasporic, but it is almost always Americans who say this), not Israeli Jews.

Look. It’s one thing if you just don’t want to get involved (although I am totally judging you). But I can name a billion different ways American Jews have changed things in Israel, and stuff we can do right now! For example:

- protesting our tax dollars paying for weapons and bombs Israel uses to kill Palestinians, by pressuring our elected representatives, senators, and president into taking a stand against Israel

- supporting the Not on Our Dime Act, which is aiming to prohibit tax-deductible donations from being used to fund illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank

- working to change Jewish studies curriculum and summer camp + youth group programming to provide kids and students with more options than just Zionism, and a more complete + less biased education about Israel

- no tech for apartheid: Jewish Google workers protesting against Project Nimbus, which helps the Israeli government with surveillance of Palestinians

- using our position to educate people and make our opinions heard, so we don’t let Jewish Zionist organizations speak for us all and influence what gentiles think about Israel and current-day antisemitism

- I have my own opinions about the recent protests over Netanyahu’s judicial reform, but lots of American Jews supported them and they were definitely effective

- and that’s just a few of the many ways I’ve seen American Jews work towards creating real change in Israel. are we the only ones who can do this? no. but gentiles can’t shape the future of the American Jewish community, which altogether has quite a lot of influence in Israel. only we can do those things.

Saying that as American Jews our voices and actions don’t matter when it comes to Israel is actually such a weak, lame-ass excuse for refusing to take a stance for or against Israel. This isn’t something we get to be neutral about; silence equals support for Zionism.

That being said, I can’t control what individual people do. If you seriously want to refuse to support Palestine, fine. Whatever. Just please stop using “American Jews can’t help anyways!” as your excuse when that’s such a blatantly false claim.

#mercy.txt #anti zionist #jumblr #palestine #imo you can’t be Zionist and genuinely support Palestinians btw #so-called liberal Zionists do not get a free pass <3 #also: this post is not about me or my belief that Zionism is morally reprehensible #however I do think that and I’m not going to hide or apologize for it. and yeah I do really judge people who are Zionist! #I am sick and tired of toning down my beliefs and ignoring my values for the sake of a peaceful community irl #and I know what happens when I’m vocally anti-Zionist & I’ve been treated awfully in the past. #so forgive me if I’m not super understanding or accepting of Zionist Jews. #I get it that the indoctrination was rly strong and people get pretty attached to Israel #but after all the stuff I’ve experienced and witnessed I’m honestly out of empathy! we should know better & I’m disappointed that we don’t. #I just don’t see how anyone can still support Israel while knowing what they do to Palestinians #and I have other issues with Zionism too but those are too complicated for tags

Do you ever think about how if a person got into a series/fandom after peak popularity they totally missed out? Not in a bad way, I just think getting to experience and participate in the explosion of a fandom is a totally fun and insane thing that might only happen to a person once. It's not just "a fandom" it's when the fandom of a series you totally love and resonate with happens.

#{domino talks} #this is 100% about haikyuu btw 😂 #LOOK my life would definitely different if i hadn't gotten into hq just before s2 #and i was at a con in a hq panel that was like 'shit all these people are totally younger than me' #and before i continue I AM NOT JUDGING OR CITICIZNG ANYONE I PROMISE #i could tell they all only watched the dub because they said 'date' tech like the english word whatever that's just how i could tell #and that's just what had me thinking about this #i have not watched watched the dub just heard some clips and just knowing the english language i personally feel like #watch the dub if that's your thing! dub is not bad! i probably would have watched this dubbed if it had existed back then tbh #BUT i think you wpuld probably miss out on the full spectrum of emotion because the english language is really... more bland #than so many languages actually it kinda sucks #and more than that the fandom explosion was before the dub released (i think) like no one talked about the dub #i only knew it had been announced (⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠;⁠) #uhhh so anyway feel free to ignore the nostalgic old man (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠) #i just don't think i will personally experience that again and *haikyuu* is hard to beat in it's irl effects

oh my god what happened?? are you alright? do you need any help?

alright i will preface this by saying that physically, i am COMPLETELY FINE. please don't worry about me too much, i promise i'm physically okay and it's not that bad

the rest is under the cut not for length but in case people want to skip past it (warning for people being unpleasant)

so the short story is that someone i thought was an online friend suddenly sent me a pretty awful DM before blocking me. they said a lot of genuinely hurtful things which wasn't really good for my mental state since they preyed on a bunch of my insecurities, and i thought that i could trust this person. i'm doing better now thanks to my irl friends, but recovery is a process as usual. i'm not sure if you can really help apart from being emotional support, but your concern is appreciated nonetheless <3

#not brainrot #anon #btw if anyone wants me to put any trigger warnings just tell me and i'll get right on it #and people WONDER why i have trust issues especially with people online #they also had the gall to bring up my Foul Legacy addiction which is just so low #in case you haven't noticed i'm not the most confident person in the world and this whole debacle made it worse #it was also very out of the blue i kinda spent the first morning in shock #nor was it accusations it was just 'lol here are all the reasons i hate you' so that's. nice. #guess they've been holding onto these feelings for a long time. wish they could've been a bit kinder about it #not to mention that some of the stuff they said was straight up untrue #but my irl friends helped me a bunch so big thank you to them #anyways if i seem distant to people online these types of situations are why #i know this isn't a SUPER bad thing to happen from an outside pov but i sure didn't feel good after it #just a tad sad #unpleasant things #uhh dunno if i'll post anything else today but we'll try

[colorisbyshe]

do you ever ask a beloved friend for recommendations for like a movie or book or whatever and then when you get around to actually checking it out it's like... oh no, it's not good but i'm sure this is just a fluke and then the next time they recommend something it's... still not good and you really have to confront the fact that your friend just does not have good taste

#'everyone has different taste' is true #but sometimes... the things are straight up just like.... #technically not good #not just different from my own preferences #btw this isnt about anyone on tumblr like #i'm NOT vague posting i am thinking about one very speciifc irl friend #who does not even know tumbrl still exists

Trying to explain how much I love the X-Men to non self shippers is so hard bc like. They won’t get it and think I’m crazy ya know?

But like. Dude. Without these characters I would legitimately not be here. When shit was hitting the fan and my family basically abused or abandoned me it was the only source of comfort I had.

And even when I’m not focusing on them I still very much love them and go !!! whenever I see them! They are so important to me. They’re my family.

Don’t tell me to keep my merch in packages so I can sell it later on, or tell me my “obsession” with them is temporary. I’ve been so connected to them since I was 17 and they’ve been my comfort during a time I was miserable and depressed and when my family wouldn’t give me that comfort bc they refused to believe I was suffering/didn’t take me seriously.

They mean a lot to me. I can’t put it into words. And to have people brush it off as a silly interest I have that I’ll get over after a bit hurts! Like even if you don’t Get It™️ please understand that they mean so much to me to the point that they’re the reason I stayed alive when I was contemplating ending it all.

#not about anyone online btw #I was showing off some X-Men stuff I got today to irl friends #and one of them made a joke about me keeping everything in its packaging #so I can sell it later on #and I went ‘oh hell no I’m not doing that ever’ #kind of jokingly of course #and they were like ‘oh you might change your mind!’ #yeah… no #they dont know the complete impact they’ve had on me #but still like #when I say ‘no the xmen mean too much to me’ #… get the hint

[starcrossedandstupid]

Do you ever see someone do something and you just go

‘wow that’s so sweet. why not me, pretty please?’ And then keep it to yourself forever because you think it’s stupid

me neither haha wdym what are you talking about

#like I just just be happy with what I get yk #and I can’t control who anyone gives that sort of thing to #if it isn’t me I don’t want to force them to by asking #like if they wouldn’t naturally I don’t want to make anyone do anything #I’m such a hypocrite though #because I would want other people to tell me #but I’ve accepted that #because I don’t speak for everyone anyways #but it’s just super sweet and I find out why someone is doing it #And I’m like #hmmm #same bestie #but sounds like either you don’t care or I hide better than whoever #probably both tbh #but it’s hold everyone else is dealing my cards #so who am I to change it lmao #shittier post #if you know me irl just assume this isn’t about you btw #will they see it roulette

[folkorae]

2024 will be the year where I will continue to focus on myself and stop thinking if there is something wrong with me when I know there is not.

#❧ ⸻ jane speaks . #tw vent #tw negative #that being said i am here #and i am sorry for my small life rant #like i said i will just continue to be positive and doing my own things #this is not about anyone from here and has nothing to do with rp btw!! #is just a irl general thing you know #not related to the rp #anyway i will format the replies i have written and post them #while i finish to read the book

also, for like, future reference : if you’re crush-posting / gush-posting about my IRL, and you’re mutual of mine. i kindly ask for a tag i can at-least blacklist ^_^;;

#just so i won’t end up hard-blocking you! ^_^ #because i do not like blocking my mutuals. it feels bad and it’ll make me upset :( #sorry if i keep talking about my IRLs. LOL!! i just wanted people to know… not directed to anyone. btw… #⛈️

also a special shoutout for real like wendy epic ableism moments when she stops talking directly to winston and expresses this is b/c he communicates too incorrectly (here too literally or whatever, once again whether he misinterpreted her or she misinterpreted him, it's put on him) and thus he doesn't deserve that

#winston billions #and i mean handshake with how winston's basically not considered allowed to talk at all by anyone out here #but like. alright we're not showing that winston is in the room mostly for a joke but even randos are like ''hmm. bit impolite'' lol #but once we do see him b/c he's speaking....like actually it Is heinously rude / diminishing / infantilizing to be spoken to indirectly #and The Behavior Is Inherently Ableist Here like ofc it's probably rude no matter what outside some kind of rly specific contexts lol but #that here she Is just implying he doesn't get to be spoken to b/c of some shortcoming / assumed lack of capacity #whatever she Does mean by ''see the matrix'' which is nothing but convenient vagueness abt Ability anyways #he's only here b/c she thinks he's annoying or w/e or otherwise extrinsically showing lack of value (can't be ableism there....) #and like winston and any other character is like. it's not textual sure but it doesn't need to be Textually Labeled #and sometimes can't be when ppl absolutely write based of ppl they know / encounter but don't know are autistic or etc #and that's how it works irl too. someone being Officially(tm) Autistic or smthing shouldn't be some necessary disclosure #b/c it's about The Underlying Principles At Play vs making some approved ''exceptions.'' if he's supposedly allistic it's still sm shit. #like how trans ppl & transphobia could exist prior to those terms even existing to be used. ppl are affected by them w/o being Out.... #& btw like ppl still saying some shit like ''some autistic ppl will just be Bad At / Have No Social Skills & you have to be chill abt it'' #like what does [social skills] mean here. what's the underlying element of socializing that they may do differently but you say is a Worse #or Absent version of the ''normal'' way of going about things. even if you actually get specific enough abt what a ''skill'' is; which is #gonna be a non universal non rule probably inaccurate idea of a Normal(tm) pattern of behavior/approach; sure maybe some ppl will struggle #to do that or largely/entirely not be able to do it / be unwilling to do it; gasp; what's its goal/effect & do they pursue/achieve that #another way. e.g how much AAC could be considered inherently ''bad'' re socializing or a lack of w/e ''skills'' or etc. #then like ok so once again a begrudging exception for autistic ppl is made. what's ''being okay with'' that even look like then? is anyone #gonna be using their ''good social skills'' to more successfully interact w/them? is Not socially excluding / ostracizing / punishing an #autistic person an Exception / something Extra you heroically do? e.g. & so what if some theoretical person isn't socially engaging w/other #ppl in any way. what do & don't they ''deserve'' differently from others b/c of that. #& anyways meanwhile they're certainly talking abt winston's Capabilities. but mostly talking around it b/c the point is He Gets Results & #will keep getting those results b/c why wouldn't he. but they can just cite anything to argue why oh but he doesn't Really have the value #cue vague shit like matrix refs b/c if he was Reeally talented we'd think he acts right. b/c Any bs can be said b/c winston doesn't have #the insulation or backup or ability to independently wield/gain social status his way through this shit. is only allowed to talk to #coworkers abt it by making it abt taylor actually (which is also true). still only makes it b/c rian is correctly remaining in the #acceptable range of being offbeat. so she already has more power than him & can choose to keep him around as that fun punching bag ig yay #then nobody cares. also he can't say he controls an instrument but Others refer to ''genius'' but negatively. wendy rhoades Would do ABA fr

one thing that bothers me is when you tell people you’re a fan of eurovision and they just shit on it to you immediately. like if someone told you they had any hobby, like they follow F1 or they like knitting or they go climbing or they’re a big fan of jazz music or whatever else, no one would just instantly shit on it to that person knowing that they enjoy it and it brings them joy. so why do people constantly do this to me?? i’m really tired of awkwardly laughing and going haha yeah. next time i’m just going to ask them what they’re into and tell them it’s stupid too and they’re an idiot for enjoying it.

#this post comes off so dramatic but honestly this is so annoying #had a conversation with a ‘friend’ or i should say someone i knew a few years ago and i hadn’t seen in ages #he immediately said ‘i don’t believe anyone watches eurovision unironically’ while he’s talking to someone he knows is a esc fan #like firstly 180 million people watched last year they can’t all be watching it as a joke lol #and secondly i get it if it’s not your thing but it doesn’t cost anything to be nice or just switch the subject #this with many other things is just making me feel completely out of touch with like 90% of people now #yesterday i was on a really packed bus and there was a group of like 5 or 6 teenagers and none of them sat on seats next to each other #so when the bus got packed they were all sat next to strangers instead of their friends #which is so bizarre but i don’t know what’s cool anymore i guess #completely unrelated but yeah so much stuff is anti social and just miserable these days or at least i notice it more now #and btw i’m not someone who brings up esc constantly i honestly don’t talk to anyone irl about it apart from my sister and mum

[a-commas-a-pause]

word:

me:

#for anyone confused: 'effect' is USUALLY the noun (meaning: 'consequence') #and affect the verb (meaning: 'to influence') #BUT effect is ALSO a (less common) VERB (meaning: 'to bring about') #so Word is hypercorrecting me because it only knows the more common meanings of 'effect' and 'affect' #I recommend the Wikipedia page on hypercorrection btw it's quite an interesting phenomenon! #I think there might be a noun meaning of 'affect' as well. because things WEREN'T confusing enough already #I've only seen it in older books but from context (and a quick dictionary search) I'm guessing the meaning is basically 'vibes' #'she had a studied affect' = she was very deliberate in the way she presented herself as far as I can tell #dictionaries give it as 'disposition' or 'tendency' but i think there's a little more nuance to the meaning than that #if anyone knows more about the usage of affect as a noun please let me know I'm very much guessing here #anyway. needless to say I have every sympathy with anyone who's ever got this sort of thing confused #it's an absolute minefield. And I Love It. but like. it is a pesky little trap and if it were an irl person and not MS word mixing this up #obvs I would just move on with my day becuase it Genuinely Does Not Matter how people use words as long as their meaning's comprehensible #(unless you are being paid. if you are an editor who is paid for this then knowing this stuff is Literally Your Job (well. one of them.)) #but Word is a (not free) writing tool that is very widely used and its spellcheckers are very widely relied upon #so I think it's fair to say They Have A Responsibility To Their Users Dammit and I'm allowed to be a smug little nitpicker about it

man I am so fatigued from hearing about people valuing this fucking wizard game more trans lives while trans rights are being stripped away bit by bit in the far too few places it’s “safe” to be trans on this fucking planet

it feels like we had one foot foward, and now we’re two steps back and being told to take a hundred more

#sorry had to rant #it’s just pent up frustrations #i know so many people irl eagerly playing wizard game like it’s nothing #oh yeah I’m trans btw don’t really talk about that here a lot :) #gee I’d feel so much better if anyone messaged me their trans versions of any of the Gotham city sirens #along with a detailed write up of all your headcanons #transgender #trans

that’s not very cis of you

BYE🛌

It's complicated alright 😭💀

#a lil personal story about this now that the topic came up: #some time ago i started questioning my gender identity but i didnt like the spanish they/them pronouns on myself #they just didnt sit right lol #so i tried using gender neutral language (ig yall know spanish is one of the many languages that is VERY gendered #even fcking objects have their own 'gender' lmao) so yea if it pas possible i phrased what i said abt myself in a pronounless way #but when it was not possible to do that id use male pronouns to try how i felt with them. the thing is that every fucking time i did that #some dude in a gc i was in said 'dO u hAvE a D¡cK????' and it made me really uncomfy as if i needed it to be able to use those pronouns 🧍 #LITERALLY EVERY TIME so eventually i gave up because i thought what's the point of finding my identity if it wont be respected anyways? #so yea im resigned to be seen as the same I was born with the same i've always been and the same everyone knows me #dont get me wrong i dont always hate being a girl but sometimes it makes me curious how would it be if i wasnt #and i dont mind what pronouns ppl use with me most of the time as long as it's not with a bad intention #I've wondered if maybe i'm a she/they? idk i just gave up thinking about it #at least for now. i have my whole ass life to find out what or who i am so i don't feel there's a need to rush tbh #woah this rant got rlly long sorry lol idk if anyone will read this far 🏃 #btw it's not only about that guy but he made me constantly remember that most people at least here in latam are very closed minded #just like him so if i ended up finding an identity i was happy with it wouldnt be respected by most people irl anyways #i'm not in that gc anymore tho #i hope i was able to like explain well what i mean? i don't wanna seem like i gave up that easily just because some dude was being a jerk #it's just that i'm kind of an overthinker

lmk if this is fucked up (hear me out) but i’ve been wanting an excuse to psychologically torment someone for years (HEAR ME OUT)

#OBVIOUSLY i don’t do it because i’m not fucking evil #but ohhh my god if someone ever did something horribke enough to warrant it??? #i would be sooooo fucking manipulative. like genuinely i have the power for it. #i’m very good at analyzing people and i’m very good at subtly suggesting things #i need to make this clear I DO NOT DO THIS. i simply fantasize about doing it to bad people #i’m not talking like making people hate themselves type of manipulation btw #i’m talking like making people go fucking insane type of stuff. psychological warfare #i would never do this irl. i’ve never met anyone who’s deserved something like that #but ohhhhh my god i want to BAD to haunt someone’s dreams. i want to be someone’s worst fucking nightmare #i know i sound like an edgy 13yo rn but like i’m being 100% genuine #i fully believe that i’m good enough at manipulation and reading people that i would be able to find and push all the right buttons #in someone’s head to make them fully lose their minds #and like i said i would NEVER actually do it. because it’s like evil to do that to people #but oh my goddddd part of me wants to soooo fucking bad #not sure how much of this desire is intrusive. obvi i don’t want to hurt people #but i do want to bring horrible people endless psychological distress #it’s just that there’s never a situation where doing that is even remotely okay #at least that i’ve been in #and i like don’t hold grudges so even if someone completely fucked me over i probably’d just get over it #but oooooouh. the primal desire to make someone completely question their reality. it is like visceral #‘mars i cannot see you willingly manipulating anyone’ and that’s why i’m fucking good at it. #i don’t do it bc i prefer being trusted to being an asshole. and also it’s an awful thing to do #but oh my GODDD it would be so cathartic. #idk if i’ve conveyed this thought exactly right. but know that i love fantasizing about striking dread into the hearts of cruel people #the amt of daydreams i’ve had where i psychologically torment billionaires is well into the double digits
