i only just now got word of the death of good ol’ kissingers passin n’ good riddance, today is a day to celebrate, not just for the death of a war criminal, but that people will forever magnify light over the dirty tracks he tried throwing a rug on for generations.
no faulty award purchased through the years of pro-war propaganda comes without it’s —
. r-e-c-e-i-p-t-s .
content warnings ahead for usage of slurs, accounts of sexual assault, and descriptions of extreme violence
personal take from a research freak that i think most folks will agree with past the ol’ library sentiments is how much cheap n’ otherwise used books should not be so underestimated, if it says it is in usable condition, with atleast no pages missing amongst the otherwise advertised damages, you should snatch em up
in most cases it will be a little weather beaten, carry lingering touches both gentle and roughed up, yearning for knowledge at the height of it's quintessence cannot be accomplished without acknowledging what might be wiped out entirely
be the aesthetic academician™️ you want to fantastize about being
You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).
Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.
the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.
today on "how can I combine my interests": variations of volcarona based on stellar classification!
actual stars are classified based on their spectral characteristics and temperature/color from hottest (bluest) to coldest (reddest) with a strangely ordered letter system: O, B, A, F, G, K, M... why not do the same for this stellar moth?
some other info:
o-type volcarona are incredibly rare and are considered "shiny" pokemon
m-type volcarona can come in the largest variety of sizes from large enough to easily carry a person to about the size of a cat
k-type volcarona are the most common, with the higher temperature ones becoming increasingly more rare (and m is about as rare as g)
while there could be b- and a-type volcarona between o and f, the latter two are so rare that there's no reason to split the categories up further
alder's volcarona is the g-type one shown here, and the m-type one belongs to cyrus in my au
the pupa/cocoon stage is too short relative to the other two stanges to be considered its own separate evolutionary stage like other similar bug type pokemon
praying for palestinians in rafah. i hope the zionist entity and all its enablers die. there will be no mercy, no forgiveness
My name is Eman, and I am a mother of three young children. Until recently, we had a home, a life, and a sense of stability in Gaza. I ran a small office, worked hard to provide for my family, and like any mother, I dreamed of a better future for my children.
But everything changed in an instant. The war in Gaza destroyed our home, my office, and my livelihood. In a matter of moments, our lives were turned upside down, and we were forced to flee, leaving behind the only life we knew.
Now, my children and I are refugees in a new city, trying to find a way to rebuild from nothing. We have lost not just our home and possessions but also our sense of security and hope. My children ask me daily when we can go home, but I have no answer for them. The war has taken everything from us.
I am reaching out for help because I believe in the kindness and generosity of people. With your support, we can start to rebuild our lives. Donations will go towards finding a safe place for my children, securing basic necessities, and eventually, rebuilding a new future for us all.
Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in our lives. Please help us rebuild after this unimaginable loss. Together, we can restore hope for my children and give them the chance to heal and thrive.
Thank you for your kindness and support.
Sincerely,
Eman

Makes me kind of sad that most people's perception of a "GNC lesbian" is like. a cis woman in a suit.
You show them a transmasc/transfem lesbian, lesbians who do drag, lesbians who have body hair, lesbians who use he/him pronouns, etc and its like their brains short circuit.
If someone really really wants to get in your house they will get in your house. A lock and any other security device is to deter people that are just trying doors to see if there’s any easy break-ins they can do with little effort. And there are people who do that.
Tbh I don’t think doorbell cams and security systems actually do much. Putting a fake “this house is protected by ADT” sign in front will probably be just as effective as getting an actual security system.
Because if someone really wants to break into your house they’re gonna do it security system be damned and they’re gonna have their face covered and the cops aren’t gonna help you because they never do. All that security stuff is just to deter people looking to do easy smash and grabs. And that doesn’t always work anyways. And if people in your area put cages over their windows or whatever local thieves are gonna be carrying around bolt cutters. Those won’t stop anything unless you’re the only person in your neighborhood with a cage over your window.
Best thing you can do to protect your stuff is to lock your door, make it hard to see what valuable stuff you have in your house, and don’t leave anything outside you aren’t prepared to lose.
