Looking through Crooked Kingdom for reasons, and before Jesper goes to meet with his dad at the University, it says Wylan lent him a few Kruge to get some more student-ish clothes and I wondered where he got that money from. I now realize that this was shortly after Kaz gave Wylan the 5 kruge from Smeet and told him not to spend it all in one place. And then he proceeded to spend it on helping Jesper. Fungus in my brain

#dumb little details. this and wylan walking in on jesper and kuwei likely bc he wanted to check on jesper after he was yelled at by his da #me when i make connections. even just the bare hints of the things wylan does are sometimes just. v sweet. #'what were you looking through CK for' don't worry about it #it's none of your business. yet. #wylan van eck #jesper fahey #kaz brekker #six of crows #soc #tgt #do i tag it.....? #nah. not yet.

False. The Ice Court heist is a Magic School Bus field trip, and Matthias is Arnold.

The Ice Court Heist is just a school trip with Matthias as the teacher. No one can prove me otherwise.

#'can this PLEASE be a normal field trip?' #with the dregs?? NO WAY! #jesper is carlos if anyone was wondering. #i feel like i may have made this post before. i'll have to scroll back and see #matthias helvar #six of crows #soc #tgt #soc memes #soc shitpost #reblog

just saw someone say "sharing information is not activism". dawg what

#man idk how to tell you this but sharing information with each other is like. the first step to any action ever. #this just in. education is NOT part of the activism process. everyone should just Know the facts #and if they don't already know well then i guess they're just the enemy #they categorized it under nonexistent 'thought activism' like scrolling and feeling guilty. #idk as an educator this just really pissed me off. and people are reblogging this shit like it's genius!! #not soc #dont reblog

looking at (vetted) gofundmes for people trying to escape palestine and i don't know how many of you actually click on the gofundme links you reblog but i would like to point out, for what it's worth, just how amazing it is that so many have raised so much money. it may overall feel like a drop in the ocean but the fact that several gofundmes have raised tens of thousands of dollars is amazing. it is so expensive to leave gaza right now, and people still need money after they escape. but regardless of what propaganda the US, UK, canada, and other western nations are trying to pump out, people across the world are doing what they can to help these people survive. many of them are still very far from their goals (like this one and this one and this one) and some of them are very close to high goals (like this one), and some of them have reached almost double their original goal.

and that's not even addressing direct aid or organizations that take continuous donations for distribution of food, menstrual products, etc. the PCRF has raised $16,000,000 of their target goal of $20,000,000 to fund current aid and long-term relief efforts in gaza. ANERA's febuary 13th update discusses the material ways they helped palestinians today:

(ANERA donate link)

my point is, it often feels like the world is turning a blind eye to palestine. but i would like to point out that there is an important difference between "the world" and "western political leaders and media narratives". a breathtaking amount of real people, the people who make up the world, are trying to help. in the face of israel attempting to commit genocide, the world is saying No. These people deserve to live. and literally sending millions of dollars internationally, through the internet connection that israel has desperately been trying to destroy.

it may not feel like it matters in the grand scheme of things. but to the people who get fresh clothes, or a hot meal, or blankets, or the kids who get new toys, or to the people who are able to bring their families to safety, it matters to them. go make someone's day better. i've linked so many options with ways to do that.

You!

Do you want to have more Creatures in your life? Would you like to See the Images of them? Look no further, for I have created a blog to Post such things that I have seen in my career. If you like reptiles, amphibians, birds, fungi, dolphins, and all other kinds of wildlife, consider checking out the Creaturepost Emporium! We Have It.

#starting the blog off slow but i have a huge backlog of photography and silly animal pics. it's hard to know where to start #not soc #creatureposting #creaturepost-emporium #also i got something else brewing while i recover from surgery but i dare not say it aloud lest i scare it off

I am late, but for any person who saw this post who either felt guilty about it or unironically related to it, I am speaking directly to you.

Yes, some of us have conditions that make certain things harder to do. I have intense moral OCD, and I often find it impacting my ability to live my life and engage with things I find important. OCD attacks one's value system, and so sometimes when I try to engage with serious issues of history, injustice, climate etc, it leads into hours-long episodes of anxiety and compulsions and extreme moods. That can then lead to avoidant behavior - I fear touching these subjects at all because I fear the disproportionate OCD response. I know this is different than ADHD or autism or whatever causes people have listed for disengaging, but the idea is the same: disorders or disordered aspects of conditions can make it more difficult than average to engage with serious topics and educate oneself.

BUT.

It can't stop there. This is part of why treating these problems and developing skills to overcome them is so important. Being educated on social and political issues is a huge part of being a good citizen and making sure that history is not repeated, and it should not be optional. It's another aspect of life that becomes less hindered by working through those personal barriers. Becoming comfortable with this lack of engagement to the point where you can see this kind of mockery and be like "lol so me" is just a sign that you're stagnant in your shortcomings and do not see the importance of getting better. Obviously treating mental conditions is very difficult and a long process and requires a support system, but most of the time I think it is both possible and necessary. Working through disordered behavior helps you take care of yourself, do the things you need to live your life, and also do the necessary work to help the people around you on a larger scale. I want to overcome the things that keep me from learning and participating, and I am already improving, but it takes work. And at the end of the day there is still time to read fanfiction.

typing at the speed of light to write a six paragraph post explaining how i have an incurable and culturally ingrained condition that precludes me from reading anything except fanfiction about good omens characters exploring nonsexual kinks so nobody is allowed to get mad that ive never heard of the montgomery bus boycott

#though a couple people could stand to feel a little more embarassment this is not a post that's supposed to make you feel guilty #guilt is a bad motivator and usually a wasted emotion. think of it as good news that it IS possible to become a more engaged person #don't go thinking i've figured it out yet though. i still don't know how to engage and care a normal amount #sometimes it feels like i either need to do 2 hours of research to make sure i'm on the 'right side' of an issue #and check if donations are 'actually helping' #or that i need to bury my head and never think about anything again lest i conclude the only moral thing to do is die #like. sucks!!! but if i wanna live a life in line with my values i'm gonna have to learn to not let OCD control everything like that #not soc #reblog #ocd mention #moral ocd #fandom

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

The stark difference in my feelings on tarot versus astrology is so funny. Tarot is like a silly little english project to me. Hoo Hoo let me touch the cards and invent my little essay about what it "means" about the future. Then on the exact opposite side, astrology is the enfuriating awful rat bastard that I hate. The fucking gall to presume you know anything about me just because my parents decided to go to the Bone Zone instead of watch the 1999 super bowl. I'll gnaw you

#astrology bitches might get hot over this one but it's the one thing i let myself be unabashedly a dick about unprompted #and the memes aren't even fun bc i don't relate to them. worthless to me #not soc #shitpost

congrats for the best edition to my fish post. I made noises at this

Once when I was in college I needed a picture of my fish for an assignment, but the fish lived at home so I text my brother to send me a picture and he asks "how close of a picture" and I say "pretty close" and he sends me this

#to answer the many other questions asked in the notes. #i was doing a writing assignment about something of mine and i chose my fish. needed to bring a pic to class. i probably got a fine grade. #yes he's in a tank. yes i used this picture for the assignment. yes my brother technically did as requested. #his name is little man and he is alive and well to this day. he has turned white in his old age. #not soc #close fish #reblog

PLEASE I NEED TO SEE THE CREATURES IMMEDIATELY ! also now i’m curious what you do for work that leads you to encounter so many beasts

!!! I run programs at an environmental education center. It is in the woods and I take children to find creatures routinely. I also take care of animals in the nature lodge (my beautiful snake daughters and my dumb turtle children) and volunteer at an aquarium to work with dolphins. I spend much time outside for funsies as well and have a mushroom obsession.

#I know the internet and i know touching grass #i think i will make that blog. everyone should see the creatures #creatureposting #not soc
