I think everyone should make dumb ugly zines and bad music and write shitty books with weird premises and publish them for pay what you will online. I think people should write plays that are only ever intended to be performed with their friends in their living rooms. I think people who like ttrpgs should explore bizarre itch.io games and new systems that have no affiliation whatsoever with any major publishing house. If youre lucky enough to have a cool local community radio station nearby you should listen to that and what people close to you have to say and what they're creating that has no focus on being nationally appealing. I just think creation should be more joyful and local both in a geographic sense and a personal and social sense and unconcerned with whether or not it will be commercially viable or slick or even good beyond your own pride in it. And I think it's good to seek out art that exists for its own sake or to appeal to the community it was created within
I grew attached to these journalists who risk their lives everyday to show us the truth. This is Plestia, a journalist in gaza. This is what she said in her last video after the blackout on gaza.
Plestia's name is special. It comes from the first group of people who lived in the land of Palestine who came from the Aegean sea. They were known as the plestia tribes who lived there for 5-6 centuries. The name "plestia or flestia" later led to the name Palestine, the country we know now.
Here's her account.
And If I said all of you tittering at the diddy situation and turning it into a joke are going straight to hell. Now what.
Fuck it Rat Fairies

A reminder for my ladies: EVERYTHING TAKES TIME. YEARS. So start right now with the little that you have and stay consistent. Drink a glass of water instead of soda this time. Do one workout. Take a walk. Take up a class. Read a book. Start the treatment. Learn that language. And try that EVERY SINGLE DAY. A little bit every day, but I tell you something, you will see the results in YEARS. Yes, you will get that degree AFTER A FEW YEARS. Yes, your hair will grow long, AFTER A FEW YEARS. Yes, you will be in shape, you will become who you want, you will heal, you will speak that language fluently AFTER A FEW YEARS.
Just keep doing what you're doing and don't give up. Ok? Ok. Love you, bye bye 💌

This is still a great technique
“Now I’ll try to outline the 30-day test I want you to make. Keep in mind that you have nothing to lose by making this test and everything that you could possibly want, to gain.
I want you to write on a card what it is you want more than anything else. It may be more money. Perhaps you would like to double your income or make a specific amount of money. It may be a beautiful home. It may be success at your job. It may be a particular position in life. It could be a more harmonious family. Each of us want something.
Write down on your card, specifically, what it is that you want. Make sure it is a single goal and clearly defined. You need not show it to anyone, but carry it with you so that you can look at it several times a day.
Think about it in a cheerful, relaxed, positive way each morning when you get up and immediately you have something to work for, something to get out of bed for, something to live for. Look at it every chance you get during the day and just before going to bed at night. As you look at it, remember you must become what you think about and since you’re thinking about your goal, you realize that soon it will be yours. In fact, it’s yours, really, the moment you write it down and begin to think about it.
Look at the abundance all around you as you go about your daily business. You have as much right to this abundance as any other living creature. It’s yours for the asking.
Now we come to the difficult part. Difficult, because it means the formation of what is probably a brand new habit and new habits are not easily formed. Once formed however, it will follow you for the rest of your life.
Stop thinking about what it is you fear. Each time a fearful or negative thought comes into your consciousness, replace it with a mental picture of your positive and worthwhile goal. There will come times when you will feel like giving up. It’s easier for a human being to think negatively than positively, that’s why only 5 percent are successful. You must begin now to place yourself in that group.
For 30 days you must take control of your mind. It will think only about what you permit it to think. Each day, for this 30 day test, do more than you have to do. In addition to maintaining a cheerful positive outlook, give of yourself more than you’ve ever done before. Do this knowing that your returns in life must be in direct proportion to what you give.
The moment you decide on a goal to work towards you are immediately a successful person. You are then in that rare and successful category of people who know where they’re going. Out of every 100 people, you belong to the top five.”
my friend said this to me recently and it’s genuinely one of the most profound feminist insights i’ve heard in a while, so i wanted to share it with you all here.
think about who is being served by this push to remove female class consciousness from black and brown women.
