Been feeling frustrated recently

I’d just like to acknowledge that South Africa wouldn’t have such a strong case without the work of the journalists, both alive and martyred, on the ground in Gaza supplying the world with firsthand information about the genocide and that they deserve thanks for it.
it was no secret that isagi yoichi was a beast on the field. his teammates knew it, his opponents feared it—but somehow, it had been a well-kept secret from you.
you’d always known isagi as your sweet, gentle boyfriend—the one who blushed when you complimented him, the one who held your hand like it was something precious, the one who stammered out shy confessions like he hadn’t already stolen your heart. so, when you decided to surprise him at practice, you expected that same isagi.
what you didn’t expect was this.
“are you fuckin’ kidding me?!” isagi’s voice rang out across the field, sharp and unforgiving. your eyes widened as you watched him glare at one of his teammates, his hands thrown up in exasperation. “what the hell was that pass supposed to be?! you trying to hand them the damn game? fuckin’ idiot, i’m gonna kill you!”
you froze.
this wasn’t the soft-spoken isagi who got flustered when you kissed his cheek. this was someone else entirely—someone whose presence dominated the field, whose intensity crackled in the air like a storm. he was pacing, his jaw clenched, his tone nothing short of ruthless.
“you wanna play like that? you might as well quit! i’m not babysitting your lazy ass out here!” his voice was fierce, relentless. “jesus christ, do you even care about winning, or are you just here to waste everyone’s goddamn time?! fucking useless!”
you didn’t know whether to be horrified or impressed.
the isagi in front of you was nothing like the one who shyly asked if you wanted to share his scarf on cold mornings. this isagi was a leader, a competitor, a force of nature that refused to accept anything less than victory. and damn, was it hot.
then, as if sensing your presence, isagi’s head suddenly snapped toward you. his sharp glare vanished instantly, replaced by wide eyes and a deep red blush creeping up his neck.
“u-uh…” he swallowed hard, visibly panicking. “you saw that?”
you raised an eyebrow, crossing your arms. “oh, i definitely saw that.”
isagi rubbed the back of his neck, looking anywhere but at you. “i-it’s just… the game, you know?”
you hummed, stepping closer until you could see the lingering frustration in his eyes—frustration that quickly melted when you leaned up and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek.
“i think i like both versions of you,” you teased, watching as his face turned impossibly red.
“…oh my god,” he muttered, covering his face with his hands. “you’re never letting this go, are you?”
you grinned. “not a chance.
shout out for the ppl that attend Super B*wl hope u enjoyed the genocide!
Rafah was supposed to be a safe zone. The world has failed Palestinians in many ways, and it continues to be beyond horrifying. The Super Bowl usually reaches over 100 million viewers every year, and I just saw the advertisement the IOF displayed in advance the other day to 'release the hostages.' They're calling it a 'Gaza hostage awareness video campaign' while they're mercilessly bombing Palestinian people to severe injury or death. A genocide is going on, and Israel is committing ethnic cleansing. The IOF are nothing but settler-colonial terrorists, but the world is being fed a message that they are innocent.
I hope the IOF falls to the greatest depths of despair and experiences tenfold what Palestinian people and children have.
d'ya still want ta say the normal bullsh*t about hamas?
Hamas just released its proposal for a permanent ceasefire. Israel has dismissed all of their proposals as “unrealistic” — and that has been echoed across the U.S. corporate media.
Here are the actual proposals from each side.
I would like to say that with the news of Elliot Gindi, I would say Jenny Yokobori’s (Yoimiya) tweet and many other Genshin VAs is how I feel about it.
And I would like to add this as well.
And please do not hate on Tighnari now. What his VA did doesn’t change who he is as a character or make him any different than before. It just means his voice lines should be replaced. That’s all. So please do not see Tighnari any different than before because of the actions of his VA.
criminality is not self defense
This is human trafficking
The kids are all right
Yesterday, my community service club was doing outside litter pickup, when I overheard one of my students talking about Israel killing kids.
“Yeah, Israel is killing Palestinian kids. Israel is killing children like us.”
“What!?”
*pulls out phone to show a video of babies in distress after the Israeli air strikes.”
“Huhh! Omg look at her!”

I keep thinking what he meant by “us.” Children their age, racially minoritized people, or was it something else?
