girl help the beautiful man at the food truck flirted with me and shook my hand with his big gorgeous hand and held on a little longer than he needed to (but in a good way) and then he gave me a free mango lassi and THEN left his food truck unattended to go get me a bottle of water after i asked if there was any water available and after all that all he wants in exchange (other than payment for the food i ordered) is for me to rate him on google maps. but girl i don't even know how to do that

"i think i have this thing where i need everybody to think im the greatest, the quote-unquote 'fantastic mr fox,' and if they arent completely knocked out and dazzled and kind of intimidated by me, then i don't feel good about myself."

call me entitled but i do think if you're gonna tell me how much you want a sequel/follow up to something i've written you should have to tell me at least one (1) nice thing about about the first one. obviously demand for follow up = enthusiasm for the concept so there's an implicit compliment there but i'm not a vending machine my dudes. what did you like about it? why does this world/version of the characters draw you in? why should i bother coming back to it when i have 8 million others in the wip folder? why should i bother posting the stuff i write at all when i could just email it to my 3 friends who actually talk to me about it, y'know? i'm not gonna stop posting anytime soon or anything i'm just saying it's really no wonder a lot of my fic writing friends don't post anymore.

Akin to my personal salt lick,
I split open my tongue
On what I say.
Is it a revel?
I'll never use my verbal voice again.
My lips will never twitch,
Maybe only to crack a smile.
An inevitable smirk, a triumph
In the face of my enemies.
"Shut up!" they cry.
Never, I respond in kind.
I will leave behind my legacy
Of
Words.
I will be one with the immortal figures of history,
the Ones who Wrote,
Scribbled,
Scratched,
Typed,
Spoke.
I am no dog.
I won't be kicked aside.
I will break, over and over again until
I am unbreakable.
My throat will be slit,
My vocal chords shredded,
My tonsils removed by
The clawed hands of
Iniquity —
But my voice.
Oh, my beautiful,
Timeless,
Voice,
Will live on for the strongholds to come.
They will be carried by the winds of
My whistles and whispers.
Be strengthened by the
Gust of my Roars,
Sweetened, Charmed
By my serenades.
My heart was touched by an oath,
And a legend it will stand to be.
It probably couldn’t have been stopped, anyway.
Triumph.
Ring true for me.
Never, ever end.

Celebrated my birthday earlier this week and am so, so proud of this cake.
She was a labor of love filled with a gluten free olive oil sponge, mascarpone mousse, fennel-white balsamic marmalade encased in pistachio swiss meringue buttercream. Bonus points for the pistachio paste turning the buttercream the most delicious and ugly shade of green, my favorite.

The most frustrating part of engaging in any of this discourse with pro-Israel people is that they claim there's just something ineffable about "seeing and understanding" how supporting Palestinian liberation is directly calling for the eradication of Jewish people (as if that type of rhetoric isn't exactly how actual antisemitism often manifests in online spaces but that's a topic for another day)
They get through people debunking the "the land belongs to the people of Israel anyway" argument and the "LGBTQ Palestinians are safe in Israel" argument and the "Genocide isn't what's happening here so you should educate yourself" argument and when all of those points are meticulously disproven over and over they still stand with "Well, myself and your Jewish friends see the hate you have in your heart for us" and it truly doesn't matter what you say at that point because even if you yourself are Jewish they will claim that refusing to support the state, government and military of Israel is inherently hateful and bigoted, as if a religious ethnostate is some inherent human right that is being taken away from them. I know many of them are blinded by the relentless propaganda that's been around their whole lives and how hard it is to break free from a belief system that is so tied to your core identity as a human being but it is so frustrating watching people being led straight to the point over and over again and just turning around and refusing to see it.
It's also so frustrating to see people using the momentum of this movement to casually tack on actual antisemitism to these discussions, as if having Jewish people in positions of power is why the US bends over backwards to excuse the actions of Israel and not, yknow, the fact that our government directly benefits from having a military stronghold in the middle east. I've talked to some well-meaning pro-Palestine friends irl who casually use antisemetic talking points because they've ALSO bought into the narrative that Israeli = Jewish and so they blame the actions of Israel and the IDF on Jewish people's "religious values" and ignore the fact that this conflict really has almost nothing to do with religion itself and everything to do with capitalism, imperialism and maintaining the US's status as a so-called "global power".

Today someone who i thought didn’t like me told me I’m a calming presence and that i always say things to them that make them feel better (like “don’t be sorry, that makes sense” etc) and idk that’s nice. I try to do that but i feel like i mostly fail so i guess that’s nice to know other people don’t see it like that
