#fuck feeling helpless

[ember-knights]

I am seeing less people talking even though the situation is more dire than ever. I know we are all tired. It is understandable.

Keep it up though. Put your frustration and pain into work and use it. Turn to your family and friends and support each other through it.

To quote Shreen abu Aklaa: “The cause needs a lot of endurance. Keep your spirits up”

We are lucky to be alive and well. Use it.

#it is important to address that if we push ourselves hard we will burn out #so the way to do it is to find a support system and use that sadness into something positive #positive for the cause #if you feel you are doing something you will feel less helpless #anyway enough with gushy mushy #palestine #free palestine #fuck israel #i stand with palestine #fuck the usa #gaza under genocide #gaza #free Gaza

[shoyoist]

i know i haven't spoken about the annihilation of gaza here at all yet, i've been more actively sharing posts and information on my personal accounts on ig/twt/fb etc. however, i'll say this here right now—if you support isr*el or are staying "neutral", i need you to actually go ahead and block me this instant. this is actual genocide, actual ruthless murder of innocent people and children. if you are not firmly on palestine's side, i do not want you on my blog, or to even breathe the same air as me. kindly remove yourself from my space. thank you!

#₊˚ପ⊹ soliloquy .ᐟ‍ #free palestine #palestine #i've been feeling so sick and so helpless. #have been using tumblr to tune out whenever i feel too overwhelmed but fuck that. children are dying. little kids are getting killed. #i'm not going to talk about this situation all the time because genuinely i can't fathom it #it's been affecting me so much. i feel so horrified #but i'll be reblogging regularly alongside my usual posts #so if you don't want to see that either #you are free to leave! #thank you very much

Ways abusive parents try to separate you from your human rights:

They threaten to call the police on you if you don't obey them

They threaten you with jail-time and insist that the police will take you away for disobedience

They actually call the police, or emergency services, to create consequences for disobedience

They threaten to 'give you away' to groups of people they deem 'worse' than themselves

They threaten that you'll be kidnapped and sold if you don't obey them

They threaten for you to be put in a home

They threaten you with inhumane living conditions in a home (you won't have you room, you won't have anything, they'll beat you up ever day, etc)

They threaten to institutionalize you if you don't do as they say

They threaten to put you in a mental hospital/psych ward/asylum

They threaten you with court, institutions and government

They convince you that every institution, social service, law enforcement, or any other organized group of people is on their side, and against you, and would fight on their side and enforce their rule over you

They act as if disobeying them is against the law/religion

They insist that nobody will ever want to hire you or pay you a salary

They imply or outright say that it's a waste of space if you were renting out a place or had a place of your own, you do not have the right to occupy your own space in their eyes

They take away your necessities if you disobey them (food, ability to use the bathroom, clothing)

They destroy your property as a form of revenge, and insist it never belonged to you and that they had every right to destroy it

They make sure you're not exposed to educational materials that would inform you that you have a right to safety, food, shelter, and protection from violence and threats

They fight very hard to convince you that what they're doing to you is NOT abuse (saying things like 'you don't even KNOW what abuse is, or 'I'll show you abuse'), and they make sure you're not exposed to any resources or education that would help you recognize abuse

Punishments for standing up for yourself or any attempts to reach justice or point out how unfair, inescapable, hypocritical and painful your situation is

Not allowing you to speak, punishing you for talking back, convincing you that you have no voice and you have no right to defend yourself in any measure

Exposing you to media or real-life situations where children are abused just as badly, or worse than you are, this is a part of grooming they do to convince you that child abuse is normal, acceptable behaviour and not abuse at all

Suggesting that they could do all this to you, and even outright threatening it, implying strongly they know they can get away with it, since others can

Convince you that everyone else has it worse, and repeat how lucky you actually are to have them

They list all of the things that would be happening to you if they weren't so kind to you (you'd be starving on the street, be kidnapped/sold/tortured, die from lack of resources, be abandoned, not survive in any possible way)

Convince you that you're not, in fact, a human being and thus have no business expecting human rights (brainwashing, calling you animal names, calling you demon/satan/monster)

Accuse you repeatedly of being a financial burden, shame you for costing money, demand credit/favours/services/labour/obedience in return for giving you survival resources like food and clothing and school supplies

Neglect to inform you that government is giving them a tax-break for every kid they're supporting and that the society is built so that children would be financially taken care of and do not need to earn their food, shelter or basic necessities

Scare you into believing that every other authority figure (teachers, boss, police, judge, authorities) would treat you even worse and would demand even a higher degree of obedience and submission from you, threaten you with how badly the interaction would go for you if you were to stand up to any other authority figure

Insist that if you were to act with this level of spite, refusal, rejection or disrespect to any other person, they would simply snap and kill you (implied death threat – you're lucky that I'm not ending your life right now)

Act like they own you, to the degree that they feel they have every right to end your life and would not be arrested or blamed if they were to kill you, since you're just their property

Add more if you have lived through other experiences that left you feeling like you had no protection, no rights in the eyes of the law, and no way to recognize your humans rights are being violated. Even one single item on this list means your human rights were kept from you.

#abusive parents #toxic parents #child abuse #human rights violations #traumatic childhood #death threats #threatening behaviour #psychological abuse #it's not enough that the child is tiny and physically helpless #the child also needs to feel like the entire world is set against them #and that they have no rights to safey or happiness #fucking disgusting gross behaviour #their power trips are repulsive and disgusting and they should be shamed for it forever #convincing small children they're a burden on society and have no rights to live or be safe #horrendous awful depraved monstrous sadistic abominable demonic repulsive criminal behaviour #prison for eternity

The fact that my country is funding mass genocide in real time makes me sick to my stomach.

The unrelenting speed of this ongoing massacre makes me sick to my stomach.

Me knowing even if I emptied my savings that it won't get through the fence to the people that need it in time because Israel has them all trapped and won't let it in or them OUT makes me sick to my stomach.

Knowing the only thing that can stop this are the powers actively supporting the annihilation of innocent Palestinians is a hopeless feeling.

How dare.

How DARE Israel call this 'defense.'

And how dare our president embrace them in their 'time of need' and then say 'so long as you follow the rules of war.'

This isn't a war. And even if it was this violates every rule. Targeting hospitals and civilians. Closing borders to humanitarian aid, hitting refugee camps. Cutting off water, food, fuel and power. Telling civilians to go to safe zones then dropping hundreds of bombs on them when they get there. Turning off the internet so that the world can't watch the atrocities unfolding in real time showing what Israel is doing.

I'm disgusted and gutted.

Praying that Gazans can get their signal back and that world leaders get decked in the face as many times as it takes to actually call a cease fire.

#I'm so fucking tired of feeling helpless and limited in actions to take #when the people that can stop it are the only ones that won't

“Peter Lukas gets sent back to the regency era” “Jonathan Sims gets sent back to the regency era” valid points valid points but i raise you

Tim Stoker gets sent back to the regency era

#Timelias #guys c’mon it would be sooo fun #Tim would probably *hate* Elias. Maybe try to take the circus down sooner since #the Grimaldi was first like a thing in the very early 1800s so it could be possible for Tim to just kill Nikola on sight #And I bet Jonah would be so fascinated by him. Like oh my god this man 1) is probably from the future 2) Is HOT AS FUCK 3) has sooo much #knowledge about the fears and FOUR) Can apparently kill the things?? and is confident while doing so?? #Jonah would love him sm #Also while I don’t think Jon or Peter could fix him I firmly believe that Tim 100% could #Like I’m pretty sure it was actually tweeted once that Tim could’ve redeemed Elias by fucking him nasty #but fr though I do think Tim would actually stop him from becoming as bad as he did because while Jon is passive in the voyeuristic sense an #d also and avatar and peter just couldn’t care less about stopping bad things Tim is wholey human and still dedicating himself to taking #action against the fears and *succeeding* and since I think a lot of Jonah magnus’s less than ideal actions stemmed from his feelings of #helplessness in a world out to get him I think that would be a great anchor for him. #Also I’m just super soft for any kind of Timelias sooo <333 #Elias Bouchard #Jonah Magnus #TMA #Tim Stoker #oh also Tim was canonically fascinated by Robert Smirke so he’d probably have some knowledge about the 1700-1800s through osmosis gotten #while researching #the magnus archives

#my godddd 😮‍💨❤️‍🩹 #life is so beautiful you guysss #bless Sufjan's fucking precious mind😮‍💨🩷!! #everything written‚ produced and recorded by him + all the artwork and essays also by him!! he's everything!! ❤️‍🩹 #the entire album sounds both familiar and new (like Goodbye Evergreen is literally how The Age of Adz goes from Futile Devices to Too Much! #sounds very atmospheric and melancholic and bittersweet but also dreamy and euphoric. and very gentle #and there's a sense of urgency and helplessness but the album ends in a very hopeful note which is so beautiful!! #lyrically is so impressive and breathtaking. man the way he feels everything so deeply 🫨❤️‍🩹 #stunning compositions + so much heartbreak and existential despair and unsettling imagery and self-sacrifice #and distress and personal atonement and resignation and so much HOPE and LIFE and LIGHT #and also religious devotion (shocker i know lol) #and the Neil Young cover (shoot me!) is better than the original lol it's just so sweet and hopeful 💐 #i really loved it so much!! #sufjan stevens #javelin

Once again, I'll say as someone who doesn't live in the USA and has literally no control over who you guys elect - who ends up in power for you directly affects what happens to the rest of us. When Trump was in power Christian Right ideology (which has always been present in Australia but never been overwhelming) got a MASSIVE boost here, we saw a whole lot of more obvious racism, sexism, transphobia and queerphobia for the period he was in power and our government (who happened to be right wing at the time) took Trump's popularity as an indication of what they should do here.

It didn't work out great for them IN THE END but you have to understand that REAL HARM WAS DONE TO US in that meantime.

No matter what else is happening in America, your culture is still MASSIVELY POWERFUL everywhere else, and, unfortunately, you're still the most militarily powerful nation on the planet.

If you decide not to vote you're screwing ALL of us over. And we can't do anything but beg you not to let that opportunity go.

#i never feel so helpless as I do during USA election cycles #your shit directly fucks us #please remember that

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

i find this shit sooooooooo fucking annoying and frankly unworthy of respect… obviously advertising and branding are powerful and that’s why companies invest in them but i genuinely have no fucking patience for grown ass adults acting like corporations are standing their holding a gun to their heads and forcing them to spend money on their stuff. it’s genuinely pathetic to me. grow the actual fuck up please

#this isn’t the worst example i’ve seen but i guess it’s a straw breaking the camel’s back moment #bc this mentality is everywhere and it’s fucking annoying every time #by grow the fuck up i don’t even mean stop spending money on disney stuff #i mean stop acting like you are being helplessly oppressed and incapable of exercising choice #also i feel like going to the parks is actually qualitatively different than listening to a soundtrack #bc of the labor stuff…. not that i think going to a disney park makes someone like evil #but it does kind of gesture to other limits of this sort of ‘corporate helplessness’ style analysis #reminiscent of AHP being like ‘i’m burned out bc i HAVE to grow tomatoes because of Culture’ #you literally don’t. grow up

I am speechless. Utterly speechless. I'm fucking tired of the power politics but i cannot stop talking because I owe to the Palestinians. And i want to say that I hope these countries fighting for unipolarity and hegemony rot and suffer from the worst fate this world has ever seen. I hope these countries colonise eo and combust and vanish from the map.

Let's get this very clear, Palestinians are never seeing peace. Why? Because all of this is a game for the global powers. Humans are a pawn. They're collateral damage. USA, China, and Russia will NEVER be on the same page and today's call for ceasefire's result is the biggest proof to it.

All this while China and Russia were voting for ceasefire. And guess what USA was doing? Vetoing against it. AS SOON AS USA called for a ceasefire, guess what Russia and China did?? THEY FUCKING VETOED AGAINST IT!!!!! It was never about Palestine, or the ceasefire, or peace, or war against evil. It was always about who gets to be the hegemon, the global leviathan.

Fuck their triangular diplomacy and fuck their agendas to counter eo. Fuck their international politics. The UNSC needs to reform itself because as long as the permanent members get to have the power they have, the Palestinians will be butchered everyday. I am utterly disgusted. And I'm fucking furious. FREE FREE PALESTINE.

#I WANNA CRY AND I WANNA FIGHT AND I FEEL SO FUCKING HELPLESS!!!! CAN SOMEONE DO SOMETHING???? WHAT IS WRONG W THE WORLD???? #DOES HUMAN LIFE MEAN SO LITTLE TO THEM????? #free free palestine #free gaza #palestine #israel is a terrorist state #israel is committing genocide #israel is an apartheid state #usa is a terrorist state #russia is a terrorist state #china is aiding the genocide #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #gaza genocide #unsc #united nations #ceasefire now #call for a ceasefire #palestine is under attack #all eyes on rafah #save palestine

#rain world #rain world downpour #rw downpour #txt #every usage of the main theme in the rw ost makes me emotional but man. #this one hits so fucking HARD dude #the feeling of devastation and helplessness while exploring the rot #it just captures that so well #especially contrasted with that awestruck feeling random gods invokes #i have to wax poetic and ramble about rain world or else i will shrivel away and die.

[localguy2]

Honestly one dynamic that I REALLY REALLY wish we ever get to see if Kai & Nya & Zane just being there, existing.

The untapped potential of Anger Issues duo and the calm guy sounds fantastic, not to mention the amazing fighting scenes we could get as a result of it

Like Zane and Nya already click together perfectly, 2 Elemental Masters with control over water in different states.

Add Kai to the mix?

Well shit gets REALLY wacky

Zane makes ice for Kai to melt into water and for Nya to control with her powers, like how fucking awesome would that be to see??

Call em the "Water Cycle" trio

#ninjago #zane julien #kai smith #nya smith #Not to mention the amazing bond you could have for them #Kai and Zane already work really together as a dynamic #Zane and Nya are fucking kick ass when they team up #I hc those two are fighting/sparring besties #And Kai are Nya #Are Kai and Nya #Iconic #So just throw all of them together #Kai and Nya help Zane with usual identity crises #Kai and Zane help Nya when she feels particularly bad after failing at something #And Zane and Nya help Kai when he feels especially helpless or tired

"how can you be an animorphs fan and support Israel?"

I don't know, how CAN I be the fan of a book series talking about kids being forced to grow up too fast due to being a part of a war that has been going on for longer than they're alive, trying to defend their home against an invading force?

Seeing how this situation affects their mental state, world view and relationships with each other? Not being able to fully trust anyone else because they can turn out to secretly wish for your demise?

How can I be the fan of a series that mirrors the way I grew up, of feeling scared and lost and small but knowing that you have to keep going because there's no other way?

Knowing that the other side has people who are like you, who never really wanted to hurt anyone but are being forced to fight too, who were brainwashed from birth to not see people like you as people?

Knowing that innocents die in war, that cruel, messed up, unjust things happen in wars but not seeing another way forward?

Wanting to save your loved ones who are now being kept hostages?

YEAH I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I, AN ISRAELI PERSON, BE AN ANIMORPHS FAN?

#animorphs: there's no black and white but sometimes you have to fight to protect the people you love #people on tumblr: ISRAEL BAD PALESTINE GOOD #Hey remember how every time the animorphs kill a hork bajir controller #they kill both an innocent hork bajir hostage and a yeerk that is threatened with starvation by their superiors if they won't fight? #remember how most taxxons only agreed to collaborate with the yeerks because they feel like being puppets is better than constant hunger? #remember how Serrow only wanted to do something good but ended up causing an intergalactic war? #remember how as early as book 6 Jake didn't blink before boiling alive dozens of helpless yeerks? #remember how the Howelrs who exterminated countless species were merely toddlers playing controlled by a higher being? #REMEMBER HOW ANIMORPHS IS A FUCKING COMPLICATED BOOK SERIES AND EVEN OUR HEROES COMMITED ATROCITIES THAT HAUNTED THEM EVERY DAY? #AND HOW WE STILL ROOTED FOR THEM BECAUSE WE KNEW WHY THEY DID THIS AND WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM? #HOW MOST OF THEIR ATROCITIES WEREN'T JUST KILLING FOR THE SAKE OF KILLING? #Unlike you know #what Hamas is doing #killing for the sake of killing #sacrificing their own people in the process #brainwashing and treathening their population #Remember how the war is actually a chess game between two larger entities that use everyone else as a peon for the war between themselves? #Hm now that surely sounds familiar #Imagine thinking that a fictional war in a book series for kids is more complicated and morally grey than one in real life #And that you can know everything about it from Twitter and tik tock #Couldn't be me lol

[kimtaegis]

“future’s gonna be okay” are we actually sure about that. are we

#today was my breaking point lol today I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore #I literally can’t handle another setback or my mind’s gonna get on total lockdown again as in 2021/22 #how are you supposed to find meaning in ANYTHING when you’ve always giving your total best and it has never gotten you anywhere. how #how are you supposed to stay strong and optimistic #I feel so fucking helpless at this point I just want to scream #everything just sucks

Israel needs to be stopped.

This is a massacre. This is violence. This is inhumane. This is terrorism.

This is genocide.

Ceasefire now.

perez was every bit as insane as strahm was and just as consumed by obsession and the hunt she was just slightly (and I mean SLIGHTLY) smarter about it. cause what the fuck was she DOING inviting hoffman to the lab while they dealt with the baxter tape. she was actively prodding the bear, fucking taunting him like that, too impatient to see the look on his face as she cornered him, forgetting that cornered animals lash out. like. she was crazy for that. and maybe more than a little cocky, thinking she and erickson would be enough to stop him if he did attack.

she and strahm were the same kind of crazy she was just better at hiding it

#like they both got murked cause they were so obsessed with getting one over hoffman #not just catching him but BEATING him #sawscriptbot on twt is up to the feeling helpless scene so im just thinking abt this. she was fucking insane for that #espeon cries #saw
