[she/her] | main blog | i use sideblogs for fandom posts

when i say “girl” randomly as an interjection i’m speaking to the omnipresent all knowing being of Girl. asking her for mercy. taking girl’s name in vain

Ukrainian artist and activist Lana Chornohorska, 26, was killed by ruzzian drone strike while defending Ukraine

Lana, born in my city, Zaporizhzhia, was an incredible activist for LGBTQ+ rights and democracy, participating in KyivPride🌈 and speaking against corruption, volunteered to defend her homeland

Thank you, Lana, вічна пам'ять героїні

can we send up a quick thank you to pdf uploaders, torrent seeders, copy sharers, scanlators, fansubbers, digitizers, paywall dodgers, and various other internet archivers for making niche art and information more accessible in a media landscape where all but the most profitable mainstream are often tossed aside and left to rot

This blog stands in full solidarity with the Iranian people as they risk their lives to liberate themselves from a tyrannical regime. Long live Iran, may we see a free Iran in our lifetime.

I haven’t been active here for a while and probably won’t be

I just came to say that my country Iran is going through a revolution right now and I want everyone to know that Iranians will not give up until these bloodthirsty mullahs are gone for good

This time protests are even more intense than the WomanLifeFreedom uprisings

People are protesting in the streets despite brutal government crackdowns, they’re tearing down the flags of the Islamic repooplic regime and chanting slogans against the regime non stop

The IR regime has taken to attacking literal hospitals full of injured people!!!

They’re arresting kids below 18!!

Remember:

IRANIANS DO NOT WANT THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC REGIME!!!

WE DON’T WANT REFORMS WE WANT A REGIME CHANGE

As always mainstream media and all the self-proclaimed “human rights activists” are dead silent because supporting Iranians fighting against Islamist dictators doesn’t benefit them but fuck those posers because we don’t need such clowns we got our unity

If you want to help Iranians please be our voice and keep talking about Iran

Watch out for regime propaganda and listen to actual Iranian voices especially from inside Iran

پاینده باد ایران

Little life advice:

Everyone who says not to set your stove clock or microwave clock because you won't use them and don't look at them anyway is lying.

Set them.

Because sometimes, you will come come from a week away when no one was in your home, and see the stove and microwave clocks blinking and go, "Oh shit, the power went out while I was gone, even though it's clearly back, which means every single thing in my fridge and freezer might have gotten room temperature and refrozen, and will give me food poisoning."

And it will be the only indication whatsoever not to eat it.

Anyway, just got back from the grocery store, but at least I don't have botulism.

I know this is a 'better safe than sorry' kind of scenario, but if you like me live in a place where power often goes off for a few minutes due to power grid failures in summer with all the A/C units going in the neighborhood, it's not going to help.

Put a glass full of water in the freezer. I use a shot glass to save space. Once the water is frozen, put a coin on top.

If when you're back the coin is under the ice, you know your shit has defrosted and should be thrown out.

So the banner ad didn’t scale down for the mobile browser and it took me multiple minutes to realize that this stock photo of people in business suits was not, in fact, an illustration of what oathbreaker paladins in service to an evil power are supposed to look like

take figures out of their boxes btw. sew patches on your favorite jacket. go to bed with your favorite plushes. wear the pants you usually save for special occasions. draw something cool on your wall. put a sticker on your laptop. dye your hair and pierce your lips. glass is meant to break, metal is meant to rust. items are meant to be used. that's how the world knows that somebody loved them.

When my aunt died of covid, we had to clean out a lot of stuff that she was saving. Foods she was going to try, she was a great chef, spices she'd never opened or only used sparingly, lotions and bath things she hadn't used. After she died I started making a point of using things up: the good vanilla that has to be imported, that we finally found more of, we'd used barely an ounce before she passed away. Even though we love it. I just got my family new bottles of it for Christmas because we used one up. We enjoyed that happiness. Sometimes I still get the impulse to wait for something special, or awful, to save nice things for celebration or comfort. The phrase that always echoes in my mind is "use the good vanilla". And I have been (burning the candles, squirting the body wash, dissolving the bath bombs, putting the saffron in things). And it's been great. Use the good vanilla.
