Are people off tikok aware of the lady who is dying of cancer and signed off all her rights to her latest single to her 7 year old son in the hopes that she'll have some amount of money to leave behind for him and initially her song was taking off and getting a lot of streams until someone pointed out that she follows the IDF on instagram so now people are debating over whether or not it's morally correct to stream her song even though the money exclusively goes to her son what stage of capitalism is this

#obviously it's terrible that she's a zionist! You should not ever consciously financially support a zionist! #but like... she's not even getting the money #I just feel bad for her kid man cause not only is his mum dying of cancer but she's also getting cancelled on her deathbed and it impacts n #one but him #idk #I support Palestine completely #I do not agree with her viewpoints at all #but this just feels a bit insane like this is the type of energy to bring when boycotting starbucks and mcdonalds #not some kid who has no control over the fact that his dying mother is a zionist

I think that one of the reasons why people misinterpret Wylan's character and arc, among others, is because they misinterpret the relationship between him and Kaz. This post has kind of mitosised off from the BFWP (Big Fucking Wylan Post) I'm writing because it's a bit of a different focus and constitutes its own post.

A lot of people talk about Wylan's character and development as though it's meant to match Kaz's - starting out as a nice kid who the city forces to become amoral, indifferent to violence, and well-versed in crime. These qualities are usually talked about with a weird reverence as an irrefutable symbol of "badassery", as though it's always a positive development for any character regardless of the story's narrative, which annoys me but is not the topic of this post. That's part of the BFWP's job.

Following Kaz's exact development is not the point of Wylan's character. The point is that Kaz and Wylan narrative foils - very similar in many ways, but with a fundamental difference that creates the "broken mirror" effect/shows how they could have turned out if they'd chosen differently. I think that difference is how they respond when they climb out of the harbor after their respective betrayals. Narratively, Ketterdam represents a very harsh system that presents the people struggling there with very few options. You can either choose to ditch decency, play by the Barrel's rules, and live, or you can hold on to decency and die.

When Kaz returns to the streets after Jordie's death, he chooses the first option. He copes with what happened through ideas of revenge, and to survive long enough to see it he quickly turns to thievery and violence. He thinks to himself after he robs a kid for money and food that it was much easier to survive when you've left decency behind. He survived through violence, creating the Dirtyhands persona around himself for protection.

When Wylan has to fend for himself, he choses the second option. He finds "honest work" at the tannery, where they exploit workers and expose them to toxins. He wonders if he'll live long enough to use his savings to leave the city, or if the chemicals would kill him first. He was smart enough to steal and survive, but he chose decency, and with it, he chose death. There are a number of reasons why he chose differently than Kaz despite their similarities - his older age and thus more developed moral code, having no one to avenge but himself when he believed himself worthless, his more privileged upbringing, and his relatively low drive to live. Alone, he would have died.

Then Kaz steps in. Kaz's role in all the crow's lives is that, intentionally or not, his ruthless rule of the Barrel creates a sort of haven that allows them to survive where they would have died had they stayed alone. Wylan is a really clear example of this, and though Kaz's intentions were at least partly self-serving, his involvement both kept Wylan from dying of exposure or street violence as well as prevented him from needing to do the more terrible things that it takes to survive in the Barrel. Throughout the books, we see Kaz kind of taking the brunt of enacting violence in Wylan's place - traumatizing Smeet's daughter, killing the clerk on the lighthouse. Wylan could get by making explosives in the workshop rather than having to shoot or stab or beat the life out of people. And at the end of the series, Kaz sees to it that he never will have to. Of course Wylan did bad stuff to survive when working with the Dregs, it's the Barrel. But the extent is greatly lessened because of Kaz's involvement.

Wylan's arc was never about becoming comfortable with violence, or becoming just like Kaz - the way people characterize him as some sort of ruthless murder mastermind is inaccurate and redundant with Kaz's character. He isn't nonchalant or celebratory about crime or death or violence by the end of the book. He doesn't HAVE to become like Kaz, because Kaz himself gave him the space to continue being decent, intentionally or otherwise. Understanding that dynamic is important to understanding what Wylan is like as a character and as a person. If you assume Wylan's trajectory is to become "Kaz 2.0", then you're going to mischaracterize him. I've seen posts about how Kaz was the Jordie that he didn't have to Wylan, and I think that makes a lot more sense. Because Kaz is willing to do the horrible things in his stead, Wylan has the third option otherwise impossible in the Barrel - maintaining his decency and surviving.

#Kaz really do expose ppl to the horrors of the world but simultaneously protect ppl from losing themselves to it #sorry guys. wylan likes math and puzzles and his friends he does not like crime. crime is an unfortunate byproduct of surviving #'we could wake them up' Mark my words you stupid quote i'm coming for YOU this week #does this make sense. does this post Sense??? #wylan nearly blows his cover just thinking about a terrible guy kaz killed in front of him. THIS is your ruthless killer?? lol #one thing about me. i like characters with Hope and Gumption. thank you wylan sixofcrows #wylan is a bitch but only when standing up for what he thinks is right. especially against kaz. GUMPTION. the GALL. #glad you didn't bite it in the cancer factory you funky little genius #this pairs nicely with my jesper analysis. he enacted violence but unlike wylan he Refuses to Think About It #wylan van eck #kaz brekker #six of crows #soc #tgt #soc meta #soc analysis #bfwp #crooked kingdom spoilers

The worst part is when I forget.

The worst part is when she's underfoot or sneaks into the kitchen and I scold her and then I remember.

The worst part is when I forget.

The worst part is when she turns her head and I remember her eye is messed up because her lymph nodes are pushing on the nerve in her neck, and I remember.

Time is running out.

God, this sucks so much. It sucks so, so much.

is it normal for cattle to get lung abscesses

But yes. It’s normal for an animal to develop if they were aspirated during their infantile stage, such as is true for calves when they contract pneumonia. It’s a condition you will literally never know about until a cow dies suddenly. It cannot be predicted or prevented beyond shrugging and hoping an animal you buy has never had pneumonia.

How about you stop trying to capitalize on a tragedy to push your agenda, you miserable demon.

#Worst wishes anon have a terrible day #eat a spoonful of pure salmonella #I’m so sick of people trying to find cute little ‘gotcha’ quips to make when someone’s pet dies #what is your problem #‘Uhm actually this person should have simply invented the cure for cancer and prevented brain aneurisms if they were a good owner’ #do you READ what you type when you type it?? #and don’t even try ‘what if they were just asking’ because no they weren’t lol #there’s a reason they sent this to the owl blog instead of the cow blog

that reason is John, with his very limited/spotty at best understanding of humans and human biology seeing a dick and balls on a naked cis man for the first time and Arthur doesnt know what the fuck is happening when John fucking SHRIEKS "EEEOOOUUGH WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING HANGING OFF THAT MAN??!?!?"

#no john he's not dying of some terrible cancer #john why do you know about cancer and not about genitals #yes thank you john I'm glad you 'like mine better' and think its 'much more visually pleasing' please never say that again #no john i dont know why theyre so ugly. yes john you probably did just see it move on its own please stop staring #i swear I'll take you to see a film if you stop asking questions about human genitals please god #john doe malevolent #arthur malevolent #arthur lester #malevolent shitpost #malevolent podcast #malevolent

This is some really powerful, persuasive writing.

Like many people, I once classified mental and physical diseases as quite distinct from each other. In my mind, a key difference involved their cause and cure. My perception was that mental illnesses were generally caused by social and familial distress, and that they could be cured with medication and/or therapy. The reality is that mental illnesses can be, for some, a lifelong burden. They have genetic factors too. And social and familial distress can cause physical illnesses just as they can cause mental illness.

When we recognize that mental and physical illnesses are not so cleanly divided, we can also question the usefulness of that “divide” for deciding on someone’s right to die. Should a person experiencing a temporary mental health episode be considered a euthanasia candidate? Everyone would agree the answer is no. Just like someone experiencing a bad case of mononucleosis shouldn’t be given the right to a medically assisted death, nor should someone experiencing an episode of depression.

But should someone’s right to die be explicitly about their diagnosis? When someone’s suffering is intolerable and without an end in sight, that should be enough of a reason to consider their right to a peaceful death, on a case-by-case basis. We should listen to people in that situation when they ask for more rights, no matter the cause of their illness, as a cause may not be able to be neatly untangled.

Stigmatizing some types of diagnoses—and seeing some terrible chronic conditions as worthy of the right to die and not others—is a form of collective victim-blaming. Social psychologist Melvin Lerner can give us insight there. He hypothesized in the 1970s that victim-blaming is driven by the “blamer’s” desire for an illusion of safety. When we imagine that someone’s misfortune is caused by their own folly, we can strike that misfortune from our own list of personal concerns. Consider how that plays into the ways we stigmatize some illnesses. Blaming the patient alleviates our anxiety about that particular sickness. Hence, mental illnesses get stigmatized because many people wish to imagine themselves immune. As noted by O’Sullivan, psychosomatic conditions attract the intense victim-blaming because they challenge the very framework separating mental and physical illnesses. This challenges our illusion of invulnerability in a significant way.

I learned to see beyond that as I went through this story with my family. My big sister’s illness was not her fault. It was an illness as real as any other, and beyond her control regardless of whether it was mental or physical in origin. It was likely caused by social trauma, but it proved untreatable. And her suffering was terrible.

my grandma with cancer just talked about how she got like 6 huge bottles of shower gel for christmas and she was like “it’ll take me years to finish these😊😊” and i said “your set for the rest of your life!”

i can’t look at her in the eyes anymore

I don’t cry often but dear god. I’m crying over her.

#We were friends for five years you dumb bitch. #The fall fr started over Halloween costumes bc she said we could match then when we were actually shopping #She prioritized her boyfriend over me but not even in a way we still could have matched #And she said I was unreasonable for being upset #But I finally had friends who would have done it #Then EVERYONE FUCKING FLAKED #and crush still tried but things wouldn’t have been shipped in time #Then this girl had the audacity to say everything she did when we argued #One of the girls who she claims is her best friend recently got home from a half year in the mental hospital #And they have had a total of two outings or hangouts #Then her other friend. Who she really only hung out with during her fight with cancer and not after that #But she would see me regularly #Until a month before we argued #And now I’m crying because I thought she was good #But looking back #And looking from an outsiders perspective #She’s horrivle #I know she doesn’t know my account here but gods I wish she did #L if you’re reading this. You’re a bitch. You’re a terrible friend. So unless you’re willing to change and be honest and better. #Dont talk to me. Don’t message me. Don’t come to see me at lunch or ask me to hang out. #Because I’m unwilling to work on a relationship where I’ll always be second to her boyfriend. #Sure. I have crush. But that doesn’t mean I prioritize her over my best friend. I hold them equally. #But you don’t and you never did. #L if you see this #know I’ve cried too many times over you #And I don’t think I could stop myself from arguing if I ever actually talk to you again

this morning my granddad passed away. it still feels kind of strange. before we got the call we were even making plans to visit him in the hospital and all that... he's been suffering and fighting cancer for over a year and progressively deteriorated. to watch the bubbly, and carefree old man he was ─ always laughing, joking, and doing the most even for strangers ─ turn into a shadow of himself... just skin and bones, not even being able to talk or dance to his favourite musician was just heartbreaking. it's comforting to think he's somewhere where he can do the things he enjoys most again, and that he knows we all loved him so much.

#tw death #tw cancer #i still want to be active in some way even if it's just working on drafts in the background or talking about some plots #will take things slow nevertheless i hope that's understandable #i might just spend the whole day gaming idk yet cancelled all my plans for today anyway #he might get buried on my bday although we're trying not to let that happen #and to top it all today we got some terrible news about my grandma as well i just ... give us a break okay #[ OUT OF CHARACTER ] ── * 𝙾𝙾𝙲 { 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 : } 𝐌𝐔𝐍 .

#I know I'm likely catastrophizing and also that a day or two won't make a difference #But I noticed a lump a month or two ago and then dismissed it as not a problem #I cannot remember why I did this. Like did it go away? Did I forget? #Either way I noticed it again today. Spent twenty minutes trying to reach my doctor's office #Before I was fully losing my mind (it's terrible on a good day to keep hearing 'we have a patient portal!' and 'we do urgent care on week!' #Once a minute.) And had to hang up and roll into work 30 minutes late #Just tried to call them again and they are at lunch #Like!! I just want an appointment and for someone to tell me it's not cancer or do a biopsy if it is #Because the internet suggests it could very well be cancer!!!! #And I'm limited on what else it could be based on symptoms so like. I'd like to speak to a fucking doctor #So I can know for sure #Either way I'm starting to investigate a new practice because this one has reassigned me three times in 1 year #So I want to try to find a place that is more stable and doesn't have 20+ minute wait times to speak to a human #Update that I called again and had to hang up after 20 minutes waiting for someone to answer #If the bridge weren't an issue I would show up in person #Anyways I'm now hoping to get through at another place and switch PCPs because this is unacceptable #Even the 'are you sick and need to get in today' option had a 10+ minute wait #Why even have a phone

Bad news, got back from the vet and my beautiful baby son is going to have to be put down soon, probably tomorrow or the next day, so send him best of wishes for his next few days~ Luckily, he's actually not in a lot of pain (for now, hopefully he won't be) and is acting pretty normal, so I'm hoping he won't suffer at all and everything will be peaceful for him.

#pet death tw #death mention #let me know if I need any other tags #I would post something to help pay for his euthanasia expenses or etc. but I don't know of any secure methods #since I don't know much about stuff like that. I've heard that like on paypal and ebay and stuff people can still get your real name #and some information from their payment receipts or whatever sutff like that. thats part of why I've held off on selling clothes and sculpt #res for so long is trying to find a way to do it that's the most safe. aside from literall yhaving to start an llc and open a business bank #account and run everything on an entirely sepreate thing just so it has no association with my name and etc. #and obviouskly I don't feel like figuring out all of that stuff right now lol #I am busy just trying to make my beautiful meatloaf son comfortable and spend some time with him whilst I can #It's sad. but I'm glad the issues were caught before he was in terrible pain or anything. So suprisingly it was actually a pretty easy #decision. I would rather him go out while he's feeling okay and relatively content then wait until he's in severe #pain or extremely lethargic or etc. So it seems all very sudden but . It's better that way for him. #anyway #of COURSE this has to happen during a heat wave also.. hhrgghhh... #more fuel for my vendetta against summer lol.. Not that it's the season's fault but. something bad happening in the winter #vs. seomthing bad happening in the summer which just adds an extra layer of 'oh yeah on top of everything else #you're going to be sweating and nauseous and chronically uncomfortable!' is like.. >:T #Also for him. part of the issue is lung cancer which has spread and caused a bunch of fluid to build up in his stomach (which is what I #noticed. even though he's acting perfectly fine and normal his stomach was weird and bloated suddenly) #but if part of the problem is his lungs (which look absolutely crazy on xray) then him breathing in hot shitty thick air is definitely #not as comfortable as if he were able to be nice and cool and snuggled in some blankets. etc. etc. #ANYWAY ghhb... send him much luck and positivity!! Really hoping he can make it through the next day or so without #taking a turn for the worst. So hopeing for a peaceful quiet exit and not like tramatic sudden things. etc. etc. #cross your fingers pray to your gods whisper to the night sky so on and so forth. whatever you do that's meaningful to you.
