It means that look on a person’s face when they laugh really hard and then there’s this moment where they come back to reality — I like watching for it.
Half of the people who died in the bombing were children. The youngest of whom was only seven. Two hundred and fifty people were left homeless. When the bomb was dropped, the firefighters were ordered to stand back and not do anything to help. Police shot people as they tried to escape. And while the city apologized and called the bombing “unconscionable” the only person who was ever criminally charged in the affair was Ramona Africa, the sole adult survivor of the bombing.
Seriously, every single American should be required to learn about the MOVE bombing.
While this is going around, probably worth adding that Ramona Africa is currently suffering from cancer and asking for help with medical fees, gofundme here: https://www.gofundme.com/helpsaveramonaafrica
people who can just plop their sweet lil heads down on their pillow and quickly fall asleep don’t know how lucky they are… i gotta construct a whole ass cinematic universe in my head with dramatic plot twists and in-depth characters to help me fall asleep
I was genuinely stunned when I realised not everyone told themselves elaborate internal bedtime stories every night without fail, inclusive of occasionally having to get back up out of bed to figure out a blocking issue in the mental scene that’s fucking up your ability to concerntrate on the narrative. It’s honestly only in the last few years that I’ve realised the amount of time I spend in various paracosms is not necessarily that normal, and for the life of me I cannot figure out what the fuck people who don’t do this spend their time thinking about?
My mum says she just thinks about real world stuff? All the time? Like jobs she has to do and the like?
I can remember lying in bed when I couldn’t have been any older than six mentally constructing self-insert Lord of the Rings AUs, I reckon a solid 90% of my waking life is spent with at least a background noise of some fictional scenario running through my mind, and I just find it completely fascinating how different people’s brains work because it had genuinely never occurred to me that that wasn’t just How Humans Functioned.
Brains are weird. Also I still can’t figure out what I’d do with all that time and brainspace, I can’t comprehend it at all.
Oh yes and mine lasts for weeks. When I do fall asleep it’s like a “To Be Continued” and then the next night it starts “Previously on”
tbh when Jameela Jamil was calling these celebrities the fuck out and she said “How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… How much more?” i felt that in my bones
When she called the Kardashians “double agents for the patriachry” for profiting off a patriarchal narrative and selling women self consciousness, I felt that on a spiritual level.
“Dark is beautiful” my ass, says the white woman who mocked a Black woman earlier, wishing her to shit herself. This is a racist cunt if I know one.
Yeah that’s a little iffy as black people namely black women are the main targets of skin lighting
You can shit on the company without shitty on the people who use the product
Skin lightening is also a massive problem in South Asia and the market is huge there. She’s not out of her lane to talk about this the way she is. Shitting on people who use the product might be bad, but she’s shitting on those who actively promote it which is very different
Jameela Jamil is neither white nor speaking out of her lane. Skin lightening is a big deal in SEA countries, India, Korea, so many places in the world. It is such a huge and toxic market. She knows what she is talking about.
A WHITE WOMAN?????
Imagine seeing the name Jameela Jamil and thinking “hmmm a white devil”
apparently there’s some Straight Girl discourse out there in the reaches of the internet about how bi men are unappealing to date?? and anyway i want to make this post to remind everyone that bi boys & bi guys & bi men are wonderful and awesome and you don’t need the approval of straight people EVER.
