Interacting With A Mutual For The First Time: Oh Fuck I Have To Say Something Funny What If They Don’t

Remembered that I once visited museum of old tech, I know many of you would really enjoy those💙

My three girlfriends. Yes, they smoke weed.

🫂🤍 I LOVE MY COMPUTER! 🤍🫂

Chances are, you know what's happening in Gaza; what's been truly happening for years and has only gotten worse.

Between the horrid news of the genocide constantly being beamed at you, it's kinda easy to feel helpless. But there are things you can do!

Consider donating to a fundraiser! Raise awareness! Even just talking about it truly, authentically helps.

The hospitals in Gaza are in bad shape. Funds for said hospitals are worse still. People are hurt, but can be helped! Even an amount as small as a dollar can make all the difference.

Donate to Support Hazem's Journey to Recovery, organized by Kaci M

I’m kaci from Idaho, I’m making this campaign on the behalf of hazem Mohammed albardawil, f… Kaci M needs your support for Support Hazem's J

Even if you can't donate, you can still help! Leave a like or reblog on the fundraiser. Maybe just acknowledge the genocide off or on the net. Anything and everything makes more difference than you'd think!

I feel like you cannot consider yourself a human rights activist if you manipulate people/don't respect boundaries/don't go out of your way in the slightest to actually spread information or do anything to help people but hey maybe that's just my opinion🤷🏻

How to Become a Political Activist

Wake up on a Tuesday in a gooey sweat, eyes burning from not enough sleep.

Doomscroll for 35 minutes instead of getting out of bed. Let the dogs whine beside you.

Post to Facebook: “I can’t take it anymore. “The American public is asleep.” Check back obsessively to see who’s liked it.

Coffee in hand, walk the dogs through the neighborhood park. Scold yourself for not doing enough. Ask if doing anything even matters. Then ask what you should be doing.

Read a news alert about the gutting of yet another federal agency. Swear loudly into the void. Wonder how we got here, and how much worse it can get.

Decide, then and there, to do something. Even if it’s small.

Sign up for a Zoom call with a local advocacy group. Listen as speaker after speaker denounces the administration in increasingly blunt terms. Feel the first tingle of hope. Let it linger.

Join more calls. Listen, but don’t speak. Feel slightly less alone.

Start researching. Dig into the history of broken systems and the context they were built in. Read the news—but only from sources you trust. Don’t look away when it gets overwhelming.

Talk to friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances, even when the conversations turn infuriating. Tell them they should be talking about this too.

Meet former colleagues for drinks—ones who’ve been laid off or ground down. Let the anger rise as they describe their new realities. Tell them you’re doing something—and that they can, too.

Before your first protest, scrounge up a piece of sturdy cardboard. Rummage through junk drawers for the Sharpie you lost months ago. Write a mediocre slogan.

Show up. Meet fellow protesters. Hear their stories. Realize your own reasons go back to your ancestors—some of whom were killed in Nazi Germany. Remember your grandmother’s mantra: “Never again.”

Spend your free time denouncing the administration to anyone who’ll listen. Smoke weed some nights because it’s the only thing that takes the edge off. Wonder if you’re smoking too much.

Keep going. Attend more protests. Notice the crowds are growing. That helps. Expand your network: friends of friends of friends.

Eat chips and salsa for dinner. Stress-eat ice cream that makes your stomach hurt.

Watch as more federal workers are fired. Watch as the president calls journalists and judges “radical lunatics” on social media. Watch funding for food stamps, scientific research, cancer research, and green energy disappear. Watch humanitarian and development aid dry up. Watch universities threatened and DEIA erased, along with Black history. Watch the Department of Education dissolve. Watch public figures bullied into silence. Watch a body of water renamed in the president’s image.

Silently suffer as wildfires rage, tornadoes demolish communities, and human rights erode in real time. Agonize over the fact that democracy is faltering—not just here, but everywhere.

Ask yourself why it’s so damn quiet.

Decide you must do more. Realize the most powerful thing you can offer is your voice.

Start a blog.

Write a post.

Wonder if you’re actually making a difference. Or just screaming into the algorithm. Do it anyway.

Call it an act of resistance.

Repeat, until they can’t ignore you.

Could you please do March 11

Language Of Birthdays: March 11 - Pisces

[You can find the rest of the series here; or check out my masterlist]

The Day Of Progressive Intuition

Those born on March 11 keep abreast of the times. Whether liberal or conservative in outlook, they are progressive in thought. That is, they know that to be out of touch with or unaware of what is going on socially around them is perhaps to say goodbye to one's career. They see the world as a highly competitive place where only the quick and clever survive. In their private lives, however, they allow themselves to express the dreamier, more relaxed side of their nature, chewing over ideas and speculation through conversation with friends or family and perhaps developing imaginative projects. In both areas of their life, however, the unifying talent which they employ is their intuition, which for the most part serves them well.

March 11 people believe that if they stand still in the world they are going backwards, since others will simply leave them behind. They are nonetheless moderately, rather than fiercely ambitious, moving ahead with assurance and clarity of vision. Should they work a regular job, they will put themselves in a position in which they can be promoted, but may not actively push or politic for it. Their idea is that by making valuable contributions they will be noticed and advanced at the right time. Whether this is a correct assumption or not may depend on the fairness of their work environment and the culture in which they live.

If they are self-employed or own their own business, they have a decided talent for seeing a hidden opportunity and going for it. Once they have assessed such an opportunity they will not hesitate to put a sizeable part of their material resources in the service of their intuitions. Thus they make good investors and gamblers, since they are courageous enough to take educated risks but wise enough to avoid foolish endeavors.

Another trait which serves them well is their taste. They not only have an instinctive feeling for what is good and worthwhile, but also are quick to learn about what makes objects or ideas valuable. Some March 11 people can even select items which appear phony or cheap but later prove to have great worth.

March 11 people have a claiming and controlling aspect to their personality. They don't part with what they have very easily, and that goes for people as well as for things. As family members they invariably find themselves in the center of what is going on where they can exercise powerful decisions affecting the lives of both their parents and children. They must avoid arousing antagonism and rebelliousness in the latter who may wish to have a greater degree of freedom or independence. In many areas, March 11 people could learn to let go a bit more, to relax their control over their environment. More highly evolved individuals born on this day will learn to trust the Universe and to realize that in essence nothing is really lost, thus freeing themselves by renouncing a claiming attitude. Ultimately their intuition will lead them to value their own freedom more than either possessions or personal control.

Strengths:

Shrewd

Tasteful

Charming

Weaknesses:

Possessive

Claiming

Domineering

Advice

Those born on March 11 are usually very aware of how they look and are anxious to make a good impression. Consequently they will need to take particular care of their skin, hair, nails and teeth. Seeing that they get the proper vitamins as well as using the proper cosmetic aids is essential to their efforts in this area. March 11 people often make excellent cooks and can enjoy entertaining the "right people" in their homes, thus combining business and pleasure. Their aesthetic sensitivity to food and presentation is usually strongly marked. All substances that produce mucus, such as cheeses (particularly rich ones), should be eaten in moderation. March 11 people must be particularly careful not to go overboard on cream, butter and sugar. Vigorous exercise is recommended for those born on this day. Competitive sports should be avoided.
