"Quick" "easy" "lazy" recipes love to pretend that prep and cleanup occur within a pocket dimension outside time and space.
Residential buildings in Gaza are being bombed by the Israeli occupation army multiple times every day. The violence is only increasing as many in the West believe the lie about a ceasefire and turn their eyes away.
Mohammed Abu Alwan is raising three young children in Gaza. The money the family of five needs for food, water, and medicine is about $200 USD per day; but Israel's destruction of infrastructure in Gaza means that Mohammed is entirely reliant on donations for the basic necessities of life.
You can help this family stay alive through genocide by donating via:

What's the word for the fallacy or cognitive blindspot of just kind of forgetting that a cameraman exists? Like, you see a video online and you take it as an unmediated representation of reality and forget that there's someone there recording it? E.g., seeing a video of an ill-tempered child pitching a tantrum over a Christmas present and you leap to thinking that they're just very naughty without remembering that their parent is literally there publicly humiliating them for clicks.
I think that a lot of of our media is just kind of structured around this elision of "the cameraman", broadly defined. Like how many hundreds of hours of footage do they take for reality TV and what makes it into the final cut and why? The editor's not neutral; they're making decisions. What stories make it onto the news? What posts does the algorithm deign to show you? Our lives have never been as mediated as they are now, and yet this mediation is largely invisible.
it really makes me feel like im taking crazy pills when people act like nobody criticize jkr before she went full mask off terf. like what are you fucking talking about
i very vividly remember people criticizing cho chang, the fucking "werewolves = hiv" thing, claiming Dumbledore was always gay on twitter but not putting it in the books at all and still expecting brownie points, hermione being treated like a hysterical idiot for being against slavery, snape's "he actually wanted to fuck harry's mom so it's totally okay that he was horrible to children and also a nazi for the entire series" thing, harry becoming a fucking cop, the banking goblins' entire existence, one of the only black characters in the entire series having the last name "shacklebolt", the scene where it is heavily implied that umbridge gets raped by centaurs and it's treated as comedic and many many more details that im undoubtedly forgetting when i was in highschool. this is not a new thing.
you never know what someone is going through. for instance i didnt know i was going through anything until about 2 years later. i thought i was just chilling
been trying to find a neat way to phrase a thought i’ve been having about mark for the past couple of months and the closest i have got so far is this:
he talks the same way i think.
obviously i can’t really say i’m anything like the guy himself, nor would i want to be that presumptuous, but something about the way he speaks feels like how i parse my own thoughts - especially the bouncing between different topics/ideas and the erratic pacing of sentences.
it’s uncanny. it’s also weirdly comforting. i know other people also think in this way, in the way that you know things without really internalising them, but seeing it frankly expressed like that reminds me that i’m not totally alone and/or uniquely broken. and that maybe my brain works a bit like the brain of someone i admire. which might not be true, but it is a nice thought.
The first time I took acid my friend and I were trying to make a ranked list of different divination methods and number one on the list was “you already know the information”
