quick reminder that besides calling for a ceasefire from your political representatives, you can also tangibly help Palestinians get back online by buying them e-sims!!!

Here’s a full step process on how:

Go to Nomad (http://getnomad.app), click on the menu in the top right-hand side, and click on Shop Plans then Data.

--

2. After clicking on Data, scroll aaallll the way down. The Middle East plan is at the very bottom of the list of data plans.

--

3. After choosing the Middle East plan, choose how much you want to pay, then enter your card details etc and acknowledge everything.

You can get a $3 discount on this, by using the code "BACKPACKNOMAD" on Nomad.

--

4.Ignore the next part. You don't want to install anything. You're waiting for an email with a QR code for activation.

--

5) Screenshot the QR code and send it to someone in Gaza! How do you do that? You can now email your e-sim QR code screenshots to [email protected] who will then distribute them to Palestinians.

--

Stay safe, stay vigilant and continue to believe in the possibility of Palestinian freedom!

#please consider buying an e-sim for a palestinian if you can #its truly a small price to pay to grant any one of them the ability to call their loved ones and feel less alone during this crisis #took this basically word for word from the original twitter thread so all credit goes to Hahashin btw!! #palestine #israel #free palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #call to action #resources

i just. i just…FUCK. i just really want harrowhark to go sicko mode when she realizes john has the power to resurrect whoever he wants he just chooses not to and even after learning about his own blood daughter he still doesn’t resurrect her he just makes her a construct. i would be alecto-levels of grief-stricken-enraged if my childhood nemesis/guard dog/whipping girl/codependent lesbian situationship that i lobotomized over/suicide-pact soulmate/only friend was suddenly here but not here haunting her own dead body and the only reason she’s present is because she was made into a fascist killing machine for a man with a power kink, and she’s not even happy about it but she’s going through the motions because all she knows of love is to be useful. (forever your sword.) and if i was harrow and i died and then came back to myself after switching bodies with the human cage holding the earth’s soul and realized all of this, i think i too would be accompanying the earth’s soul on her shoulder to go kill a man with eclipse-eyes and criminal levels of nonchalance. y’know. the one who guarded g1deon but not me, lord. the one who was so sure i had never seen that which lies insensate and with stilled mind, lord, who did not realize i was a lock and there was a key in the shape of a girl, lord. the one who looked me dead in the eye and told me i could never have my cavalier back, lord. the cavalier who came back haunted and empty and incomplete by your hand, lord.

i’m so team ‘harrowhark saves gideon for real this time not because she wants her cav but because she wants her other half’ i might lose my mind about it

#the locked tomb #griddlehark #im going crazy if im being honest #like sorry if this doesnt make sense im losing my mind #also i think so much about kiriona’s jealousy when alecto swears her fealty to harrow #and so many people talk about how theres a chance harrow chooses alecto over kiri/gideon #and yeah. she probably will choose alecto. but not as a supplement to gideon #bc once harrow realized the price to pay she never wanted it to happen to gideon #which is why she was so so upset she literally threw up every day for like a month about it #and lobotomized to stop the soul-bleed from being finalized. #she couldnt swallow one more soul as sacrifice for her own life #let alone gideon?????? she said it all in the pool scene ok. and then the iron fence scene #‘i can’t conceive of a universe without you’ #something something abt making gideons life miserable bc she wished she was dead #and would mever forgive herself for it #etc etc etc #ultimately i think harrow wants gideon. not as a cav or a servant. just as herself #one can dream

wishing everyone a very "your greying hair is sexy"

#this is prompted by my husband lamenting that he started getting grey hairs #and me trying to keep cool and not be like ahahahaha YESSS my early dilf investment (marrying a guy in his early 30s) shall pay off soon 👏 #the price i pay is that he is starting to come up with his own dad jokes. we do not have children #i'm letting him know that i love his hair grey or not though #he found one (1) and i started looking for more all excited #i've been playing the long game since i was 19 i genuinely love seeing him grow older #🐭📓

irt poverty/homelessness + alcohol use (esp with @butchfeygela‘s tags on my post)- people really underestimate the function that substance use/alcohol use can have for someone who is unhoused. being unhoused is boring, cold, painful, + lonely. substances can allow the 8 hours panhandling to get the $45 you need for a motel to fly by. alcohol reduces your perception of the cold + can knock you out whben you can’t sleep. substances can help you cope with the physical deterioration from malnutrition, constant stress, + sleeping outside. substances can provide social connection with others who you would otherwise not enjoy or help you cope with being alone.

not only that but- many unhoused people are stuck in a seemingly inescapable position. the pathway to financial stability or even housing is difficult or even impossible. in the wake of that hopelessness, the downsides of substance use start to seem insignificant. arrest? you’re getting arrested anyway for sleeping outside, peeing outside, standing in the wrong place, etc. physical danger? you’re already beat the fuck up, anyway, right? loss of relationships? you’ve lost most people already. inability to keep a job? nobody will hire you + you can’t stay employed, anyway, because you have no car + no shower.

perhaps for you or me, the cons of heroin use or binge drinking nightly greatly outweigh the pros. that isn’t the case for everyone. if we are really serious about ending overdose/addiction, we need to start looking at giving people lives worth recovering into instead of shaming them for their own hopelessness.

#i had a long talk with my dad once about how #my brother sank into so much financial despair #that he was never going to be able to find #a livable job or housing (eviction record #plus bad credit plus #arrest record ofc #he was going to be forced into poverty for the rest of his life #the only job prospects he had were menial shit jobs #he once worked at one of those chicken butchering places #it was the only place that paid him a living wage but he got fired for relapsing #his only options were to go to school part time + try to pass with his dyslexia which made him essentially unable to read #then work a horrible shitty job the rest of the time #while paying atlanta's outrageous rent prices #plus who is he gonna room with?? all his friends are opioid users! #while he paid back all the debt he accrued from going to rehab #then MAYBE after like 6 years of school he could get a decent job #but his credit would be in flames for years his eviction record there for years #his arrest record + lack of driver's license limiting his employment.. #sorry but i would have probably given up at that point too #not to mention his interpersonal + familial relationships up in flames + the shame #of the things he did while using hanging over his head #the only family member who didn't think he was an irredeemable fuckup (me) living a thousand miles away + about as broke as him #substance use #harm reduction

People would call you communist for this (lol) but the solution for the housing crisis we have all over is to set a minimum and maximum price per square meter that you can rent/sell a place for and that maximum price per meter should be adjusted so that it never exceeds a specific reasonable percentage of local salaries. Also, governments should be tougher on places not being fit to rent. No, you shouldn't be able to rent anything less than 45m² as 'a flat', that's either a room or a storage unit.

#liveblogging my life #the actual communist answer is that we shouldn't have to pay for housing or food at all #and if we want to go on vacation there should be communal resorts that people can stay and do activities in #but since that's utopian and far-fetched #something else that i would do is to implement this same policies for food prices #food prices shouldn't be able to rise padt a certain amount #also each person should only be able to own 2-3 properties max #taking into account both stuff you buy and stuff you inherit #(idk how you factor split inheritances into that but we'd work it out) #and you should only be able to rent out one of them btw #and your rental income is split 50/50 with your local government AFTER taxes #no hoarding that money to yourself you hand some of it over to the community #you shouldn't be able to be a landlord like as a job #it should be like a side hustle that brings you some extra cash a month #but it's not able to buy you a whole house or several #oh there should also be a cap on the number of rental properties per town that are allowed to be rented out to tourists #anyway vote for me

after deducting the cost of materials (charms, findings, the little display cards they go on to) and, hell, even rounding it up an extra 20% for such things has "had to buy a £2 pair of pliers once"

right

after deducting that and being generous with it

i get paid roughly £165 per hour for labour making earrings. i'm serious. £5.50 for two minutes of work

#and that is - once again - still charging less than big corps whilst also paying more in materials #i could take my sweet ass time and spend a whole 5 min making one thing and still be on nearly £70 an hour #you tell me that's not just as unhinged as getting paid £5 an hour for yarncraft but in the other direction #you look me in the eye and tell me that's not a ridiculous development #i'm not also going to undercut fellow indie creators that's a dick move #and we seem to have generally established that £5-6 is a fairly standard price for earrings that also still undercuts the corporates #but when i say it's a bizarre experience i mean i get Lawyer Wages for one thing and Poverty Wages for the other. normally in the same day. #and the lawyer wages is the easier thing #if we all set the price of earrings at materials+minimum wage they would be about 75p btw #materials + double minimum wage + an extra 100% pure profit would be........ £3 #when i say nothing in claire's should cost more than a fiver i mean it with my whole chest

It's probably significant to remember that Jonathan and Nancy didn't expect to kill the Demogorgon. They hoped, sure. But that wasn't why they went to Jonathan's house and set up the bear trap and strung the lights and cut their hands. Maybe that's why they bought the stuff, to try, before they knew the whole picture, but that's not why they go.

They go because Nancy sits on the floor and thinks about Joyce and Hopper going after Will, and she knows, she knows, that they're going to need help and she can't go with them. But. She can be bait. She and Jonathan can draw the monster away, distract it so that the way is clear. Steve is accidentally dragged into that by virtue of showing up at the right place at the right time.

And I know that the fandom likes to give Steve guilt (me too), but also it's the kids that see Nancy doing that, and then what happens in season 2? The kids go into the tunnels to distract the demodogs, pull them away from where the action is, to keep El safe while she faces the actual problem- the gate- and to protect Joyce and Co while they try to oust the mind flayer from Will. Steve is only dragged along because he's literally unconscious and has no say in it. He goes along with it, because his MO is to protect whoever is there while they're doing whatever the plan is. Doesn't matter what the plan is for everyone else, Steve's remains "protect them while they do it."

Then in season 3, it's basically the same thing, except the teens and the kids are teamed up to take on the big meat mind flayer, while the adults go to close the gate to end this, save everyone.

Is it any wonder that this was the plan again, for Vecna? It's worked!! They got the job done three times now. And they lost Bob and they lost Hopper, but they weren't on the distraction team, so it's the forward team that's in danger right? It's Nancy and Steve and Robin who might not come home the way Hopper didn't. And they lost Billy, but he wasn't on the team- until then he'd actually been the enemy. The distraction team has always come home alive. Safe, even if not in one piece. Nancy's plan, enacted repeatedly now, has always worked.

Until it didn't. Until both distraction teams came home broken, lost. One too many rolls of the dice.

And as much as I do love a guilty Steve, this was Nancy's plan. This started with her. She has been the tactician from the beginning. It was almost certainly her call this time. They had a choice (they didn't), all of them could have walked away (they couldn't have), but they had faith in her. They trusted her plan. They had no reason not to.

But I can guarantee she's not going to forget that it was her plan that lost them. There wasn't anything else they could have done, but it doesn't matter. She's still going to blame herself. It won't stop her from going forward, won't stop her from making the next plan. But oh will it haunt her.

#Nancy Wheeler #stranger things #stranger things meta #it's not like she can just not make plans #it's the fate of the goddamn world #it's one person vs all of them #she's the only one of the younger 2 groups willing to make that kind of call i think #the only one capable of saying #we might lose someone i love #even that it might be her instead #but that that's the price and she's going to pay it #if it means they don't lose everything #i dunno man #i love a ruthless character #who sees the goal and will not let anything stop them from getting there #not even death

Btw I’m actually a little behind on the pjo series so I’m only on like. Episode 5. But I’m getting to the end of it and I just wanna say I love Annabeth so much I love her and I love Leah Sava Jeffries they’re both incredible

2x08 S: "As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me. Because at the end of the day, helping my friends is more important than anything in the world!"

3x03 Mei: "So wait, how did you get your gold vision back again?" MK: "I don't know! The same way I got them in the first place I guess. Every time I learned a new ability, it was because there was something I NEEDED to do, when there was no other way. Against the gold fish guy I NEEDED to do something to save my friends!" P: "Yeah, friends that YOU put in danger on purpose!"

3x10 MK: "NO! Mei is my best friend, I’d never abandon her when she needs me. We’re heroes! It’s what we do!",

3x14 MK: "A perfect world is what you make it. So as long as I have my friends by my side...this world! Is! Perfect!”

4x01 MK: "Honestly? I’m kinda liking the world as it is, right now. So...if it could just stay like this, forever? That would be awesome." SWK: "Yeah well...forever’s a long time bud...trust me."

4x02 AL: "It’s too late to save them! We can’t risk unleashing the curse into the world." MK: “You don’t know! We’d risk it for sure! I won’t abandon them when they need us."

4x07 IMK: "You can see it, can't you? This is your fate. Your friends will turn on you, seeing you for the monster you will become. They will destroy you, harbinger of chaos."

4x11 MK: "We have to try, he'd do the same—for any of us." and

4x14 YT: "I know full well what would happen should Azure fail. But- but he is my brother. I owe him my life." S: "We get it! I'd do anything to help my friends. But at the cost of the world?" P: "I'm sorry pal, but NOTHING worth that price!"

I'm like, really worried scoob.

i need people to start paying me for every time they tell me "oh but ur arts so good ur wasting ur talent u need to do it professionally" wrong i need to do art to draw beautiful characters that not a single other person cares about while feeding every ounce of love i have into my work or to convey thoughts & feelings beyond words and to even think of doing otherwise is to deny my own nature "oh but u can do what u want and then sell it" why is everything about money to you why cant u just enjoy things at what point in ur life did u forget how to have fun

#i hate that this stance is also seen as childish #like i have a full time job & often have mandatory overtime i have income already #if u need to to make ends meet then thats different do what u can to help urself live as comfortably as possible #but holy fuck pleasure as an adult is not limited to sex & money & watching tv #besides u know not a single one of the people who say this are willing to actually pay what the arts worth #its like 'well not me but other people would love it!' yeah okay u know a lot of other people are going to see the #over $100 price tag and go 'i like it but not that much! other people however' like just shut up. honestly. be quiet. #if i speed ran my art and low balled myself to a $15/hour rate the lowest would still be like $120 #which is not worth it AT ALL bc i just paid MORE to sit on my ass & look at eggs #and. again. is underselling myself for both experience & time. but people think $80 full body comms are too expensive #do u think im so stupid to not expect to get scammed when even 'easy' things are over $100 #but no ur right why would i have fun with something when i could instead cause myself infinite stress over it perfect thanks #do not give me advice about doing comms i do not want to do comms #if u see me doing comms im in a very dire situation. like thats a last resort for me.

One thing someone else pointed out is that Jerry isn’t just any lich, he’s our original lich!

The one that wished for the end of all life and because of how Prismo’s powers work, was brought to a wish created reality without life!

I always hate thinking about the timeline stuff cause that still technically means that Farmworld Finn was Og Finn and that he may have died in F&C due to the Scarab.

Like I know the world was retconned and fixed in universe but that just kinda makes an aware dupe Finn rather restore the OG Finn…

Still, funny that the lich felt empty getting exactly what he wanted seeing as he’s the embodiment of death.

#but still like I love that all of prismos wishes are not without faults #someone is paying a price and getting hurt and I love it’s always easier said than done #cause farmworld was obvi much bleacher than ooo and the lich has no one to entertain himself with #his existence is pointless now and it’s only his fault #it’s all so confusing like don’t even get me started on Finn sword #adventure time #the lich #fionna and cake #ask #anon

fffffffsssssss every day I forget about one particular TWST OC I have until @simons-twsted-children @inmateofthemind or @ramshacklerumble remind me he exists.

#he's a Clayton expy i made purely so all other OCs have a shared minor antagonist that everyone can hate #but nobody and i mean nobody hates Liam Aarden as much as yours truly hates Liam Aarden #brat gets hoisted by his own petard regularly. eventually I'll kill him off #either as a result of him threatening Copper's loved ones and finally pushing Copper over the line to kill in order to protect #(which would be some hefty turmoil and character development for my baby boy esp since he swore not to kill) #or as a result of Liam being utterly stupid and causing Wei Renqiao to Overblot and ultimately paying the price for THAT stupidity #either way he's going to die one day and until then he's going to continue being a hateful little tosswad #anyway ignore my rambling #Cyanide speaks
