#the UK too. fuck the UK.
in simple words:
"yeah we don't wanna end the genocide we just wanna save it for later"
The moment said genocide isn't of the white people, nobody bats an eye.
ALSO.
It's rather telling when a country who's endured an apartheid for decades can identify Israel as one, but not the huge Western powers who caused said apartheid?
The West don't want to admit what they caused and they hide behind their own romanticised history as a woollen shield.

I'm not making excuses for reblogging and sharing what's happening in gaza. people are being murdered and i won't stand silent. yes, i know social media is the place to escape reality for a lot of people (including myself), but these are human lives we're talking about. yes, it makes you sad. IT SHOULD. this whole thing shouldn't even be happening in the first place, but it is. it's happening and it's horrible and YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, OKAY? you can donate. you can use your power, which is a social media account, to make visible the struggle of Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon and all those trying to stop this war.
look, no one's a bad person for trying to protect themselves from the hurt it causes to see such atrocities. just, try to make the minimal effort to make things better. please.

gentle reminder that I'd you're struggling with your mental health in any capacity, if you feel like you need help or want to talk to someone please do.
it does not matter if "other people have it worse" or you've been worse. If you feel like you need help, then you do.
You deserve to have someone that listens to that and takes you seriously. Your struggles do not change when compared to those of others. Someone being "worse" does not mean yours aren't valid.
Please remember that you never need to get worse to ask for help. If you need support, you deserve it, everyone does.

last night i got home kind of tipsy and very much in tears and my mother told me the force you exert to keep someone in your life is proportional to the force with which they will leave your life. if you have to fight tooth and claw to keep them, their leaving will be just as hard, just as harsh, and just as definite.

I desperately need more botany/gardening/solarpunk/foraging posts that aren’t so fucking American-centric
“European plants are invasive” okay, in America— but which ones are invasive HERE, like are Spanish species invasive to England? Are French plants invasive to England??

The reason this fandom hates IDW Optimus isn't because he's a cop (plenty of people are fine with Prowl) or because he's a bastard (most characters in IDW are) but because he commits the crime of being an actual person who's messy, flawed, and makes a shitload of high stakes mistakes fitting for the intense situations and pressure he's put under constantly.
But we can't have Optimus actually react to his situations by lashing out or being unpleasant, no, he has to have the personality of a cardboard cutout of G1 whose only defining personality traits are "dad, funny, nice," and if he ever vents negative emotions it can only ever be #relatable depression or him being sad on his own without ever letting it show during the important parts of the story. If Optimus dares do things like be angry or frustrated or bitter it's just a sign that he's a bastard and LITERALLY the worst Optimus ever. If Optimus ever makes mistakes or does wrong things in the heat of anger/frustration/stress it's because he's just an evil bastard with no redeeming traits.
God forbid Optimus go through an unending gauntlet of war, politics, atrocities, near-complete loneliness, and a seemingly endless cycle of violence for his entire life and come out of it kind of bitter, angry, and tired of dealing with people's shit. He's not allowed to be a realistic person, context doesn't matter, sympathy doesnt matter. IDW Optimus doesn't fulfill the fandom's fantasies of Father Figure or Perfect Cultural Icon or Twinky Fucktoy and since that's the only reason most people care about Optimus in general, the fandom collectively trashes on IDW OP.
All because he can't fit into the overly simplified and childlike double standard the fandom has where if any other character is messy and flawed, that's good writing and interesting and compelling, but if OPTIMUS is messy and flawed, he's Literally The Worst and he's an asshole for no other reason than He Sucks, context be damned
