imagine being on your little dried peapod shell of a boat with your fragile little human self and then

out of the depths below

the Divine

God-Beasts

come right up to YOU

capable of crushing you without even noticing you

and ever so gently

so gently

roll back and forth around the dried leaf you’re sitting on

just to maybe examine you and see what you’re doing in their world.

Jew here with a friendly reminder that:

  • Criticizing Isreal ≠ antisemetic
  • Supporting Palestine ≠ antisemitic
  • Believing in the Free Palestine cause ≠ antisemitic

BUT ALSO

  • A random ass Jew just living their life oceans away has nothing to do with the Isreal-Palestine conflict
  • Palestinian Jews exist
  • Jews that support Palestine exist (I am one of them)
  • Calling out ACTUAL antisemitism ≠ supporting Isreal

like literally if i didn’t want to see some weird nonsense i wouldn’t be consuming scifi

“ohh this episode is about meeting a bunch of dinosaurs who developed space travel and left earth to go live on the other side of the galaxy isn’t that crazy?! isn’t that silly?!” sure yeah maybe a little but by focusing on that but you’re missing the narrative reason for it which is to provide a starting point to explore religious authoritarianism and the production of scientific knowledge

just a spoonful of [nonsense] helps the [critical thinking about uncomfortable social and structural problems that are such a fundamental part of the background radiation of our lives that we can’t see them] go down

This post is your reminder that you are not obligated to blog about current events.

Things are bad. Really bad. Do not let people guilt trip you into tormenting yourself even further over the fact that things are bad. Doomscrolling is not activism.

If you’re just on tumblr to blorbopost or reblog pretty pictures, you are not harming people by inaction.

You are not a bad person for not dedicating every aspect of your life and leisure space to whatever disgusting mask-off attack on human life and dignity some government has decided to enact.

Take action where you can, but don’t confuse doomscrolling and digital self harm for action.

If you need to lose yourself in blorboposting, go for it.

If you need to log off for the day, whether it’s to take irl action or to protect what little sanity any of us have left over the past 7 years, then by all means, do.

Morale is important. Hope is important. Small joys keep us from burning out completely in times like this. Do not let any “if you don’t reblog this I’m judging you” guilt trip convince you otherwise.

If you live in the USA and you’re pleading for donations to pay your rent, bills, or get food then dial 211! Please dial 211 before the last minute!

It’s a toll free service with people who will help you find programs in your community to pay those bills, find food, and find housing! They will give you numbers to call so you can get help.

It is not 100% foolproof. Their job is to direct you to a program they believe will help your current issue, but it’s still a step up from praying random strangers online will give you enough cash before a deadline! The added benefit of these community programs, which get funded by the local government most of the time, is if there are more people using them then they can get more money to help more people.

You’re not taking resources from other people if you use your community services. Your taxes pay for them. Use them.

Dial 211 first to see if they can help, and if for some reason they can’t, then make your donation posts!

https://www.211.org/

Hi I work for my state’s 211 service. It really breaks my heart how many people only know to call us at the last minute. 211’s can provide a whole wealth of resources to use before things ever get to a cut off utility, eviction, or homelessness!

I can’t speak for all 211’s but most should also have a website detailing all the agencies in their database. if you don’t like phone calls, this can be something to reference instead.

If you don’t have health insurance but you need to see a doctor, reference 211! We list clinics that provide free or discounted general care, vision, and dental services to low income households and people without insurance! Many hospitals also have financial aid policies that can severely reduce your bill if you had an expensive procedure!

If you’re stuck in a dead end job or need educational resources reference 211! There are a lot of programs focused on providing basic adult education as well as trade skills or other high demand fields! State governments are generally more interested in funneling people into work than providing benefits, but you can still use this to your advantage especially if you have some form of disability but are still able to work. That includes if you’re neurodiverse or have mental health issues! Most of these programs are extremely underutilized.

If you believe you qualify for public benefits but the bureaucracy of the process is in your way, reference 211! There are agencies specifically geared towards helping people obtain the benefits they qualify for- for free!

If you need help with your taxes-

If you need help finding a pro bono lawyer-

If you need help finding affordable housing/section 8 housing-

If you need help finding food pantries-

If you need help paying for your prescriptions-

If you need help obtaining disability aids or assistive technology-

If you need help finding transportation options-

If you need help following a natural or personal disaster (like a home fire)-

If you need help repairing a home you or your family owns or it needs modifications to be accessible-

If you need Queer resources-

Reference your 211!!!!!

I had no idea what 211 was before working for it but I wish I had. I’ve learned so much about what resources are actually available to the community even in a ho hum area of the country like my state. I’ve saved my partner literally thousands of dollars just from the medical resources I’ve gathered.

Not enough young people know about or utilize these services but they are there for you!


P. S.

This isn’t an intended use of 211, but I like to reference the agency listings when I look for jobs. Many of the agencies listed are non-profits which, while they certainly are not perfect, generally have lower barriers of entry to decent paying jobs with benefits. The work environments tend to be much kinder and at least pretend to be forward thinking. You’re more likely to find jobs without as many people applying as well, especially if they’re only advertising their positions through their own website.

Image 1/5: An illustration of Crowley & Aziraphale from the show Good Omens. Aziraphale is contentedly sitting on a tufted chair: one leg crossed, reading a book, scotch in hand. Crowley looms, looking down at him with INTENT behind his eyes. He’s made quite a dent in his scotch. Aziraphale is completely oblivious.  Caption: I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT
Image 2/5: Crowley leans over Aziraphale, his knee on the chair as he sets his scotch aside. Aziraphale looks up and notices him for the first time as he idly turns a page.  Caption: There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT
Image 3/5: Crowley is fully straddling Aziraphale in his chair now, calmly taking off his reading glasses and setting aside his book for him. Aziraphale looks up at Crowley, curious, no longer distracted. He goes to set his drink down.  Caption: You’re like the finish of a novel that I’ll finally have to take to bed (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT
Image 4/5: Crowley leans in to cup Aziraphale’s face, his thumb between his lips. Aziraphale is flustered, blushed. The scotch is dropped to the floor and long forgotten as he tries to figure out where to put his hands.  Caption: You Fascinate Me (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT
Image 5/5: IN FOR THE KILL. Crowley leans in to kiss Aziraphale, one hand on his cheek while the other grips the back of his neck. Aziraphale sits up, leans forward, and gives himself permission to enjoy this. His hands are still tentative, but he’ll figure it out soon enough.  Caption: …So. (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT

I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You’re like the finish of a novel that I’ll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me
so

You Fascinate Me So, Blossom Dearie

Knowing that Howl went “Fuck finishing this PhD, I’m ditching this universe to go chase girls, consort with demons, and live my wizard ladykiller dreams, while owning my own home at age 27” makes him much more understandable as a character

cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”

-Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

“Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard.” - Brennan Lee Mulligan
