For anyone who is trying to do research and understand what's going on in Palestine and Israel, I really implore you to apply the most basic media criticism and literacy, even with what is considered reputable sources.

I just read the headline "no more fuel left in Gaza powerplant" which is extremely misleading when you read the actual article stating that "Israel has cut the electricity supply". It's not the most sinister example of misleading headlines and carefully selected wording, but it felt personally unsettling as it came from what used to be a fairly trusted news source for me. So this is a reminder for myself and everyone else:

-read the entire article

-do not solely rely on one news source

-be generally critical

-consider who is the active/passive agent in a text

-consider how the wording infers value (common example is the use of the phrase "are dead" versus "have been killed")

#every single word used in a news article has an association that carries a certain weight to it #and the words media chooses to describe whats currently going on is often very telling of their own bias #even refering to whats going on as a situation/conflict/attack/occupation/war adds VERY different meanings #and places the two sides as being either equals or as one being the instigator towards the other #news/politics #palestine #gaza

on my quest to find more books to read this year, there's been something kind of heartwarming to see that of the books on hold at my local library, or on the weekly bestseller's list at my local bookstores, there's always at least one book up there that's about Palestine. It's at least nice to see that some people in my area want to learn about the historical context of what's happening now, and learn far more than what a few posts on their feed can tell them. It makes me hope that public perception will continue to change for the better - and that the kind of support I've seen in my area won't die down immediately after a ceasefire is called

#storyrambles #palestine #i'm always hesitant to make any posts about palestine given my lack of personal connection or deep knowledge beyond the #continuous reading i've been doing #but idk. i wondered if this might be nice to see for people who do have a connection and feel discouraged. #and well. i don't think there needs to be a personal connection for one to feel happiness in this sort of situation #it needs to be so much better than it is currently. but i'll be honest #i really thought these protests were going to peter out very quickly after they started. that people would say 'it's a shame' #but not act. i've seen the same thing from previous outrage. #and i think that's because outrage doesn't carry as long or as strong as knowledge does. #eh i'm rambling again. i guess it's just nice to see people caring. even when the people who should speak for us civilians do not. #it's a mixed bag of emotions. #all my love to everyone affected by this. i wish you didn't have to be as strong as you are. #but for as long as you have to. i'd like to stand strong with you. and i hope that's enough to see real change. #ceasefire now

any opinions on the hobonichi planners? i’m looking at the original A6 and the weekly because they seem very portable BUT i love a weekly spread that the original doesn’t have and i’m worried about the weekly one being too cramped to fit everything

#i currently have an a5 weekly planner but it’s too big to carry around #i’m also tempted to get both and use the original as a language learning journal but i don’t have the budget for it right now #hobonichi #studyblr #bullet journal #bujo #langblr #journaling

The way I’ll only be happy if Kyoka is the one to save Aya, continuing the cycle of saved orphans saving others

#WHERE is Kyoka where is she #the way Kyoka is currently the holder of the skk sskk legacy #the way Kyoka must save someone else to keep the Oda - Dazai - Atsushi - Kyoka line going #the way she is simply nowhere rn #the way we’ve seen demon snow carry someone else down to safery before with Tanazaki in the canibalism arc #the way Aya can still be saved by the agency #the Kyoka can still go somewhere cmon don’t forget her don’t leave her to the side of the action #the way Kyoka is to sskk what sskk is to skk #and yet #where is she? #where is Kyoka rn is she in the airport!? #is the Kyoka who represents sskk’s work together in the airport with us rn and about to save everyone #she is the current last generation and the rest of them are all dead or dying #the way she was the last to join the agency and could be the one to save them all now #the way this would make so so so happy #anyway #Kyoka saves Aya from the fall and they get the sword out together #that is all #bsd #bsd spoilers #kyoka izumi #aya koda

#fucking finally #thank you Katya #for the record #it’s very telling when people pick and choose when it comes to this topic in particular #but at the same time I believe those with a platform should use it #mixed feeling on public figures and celebrities being figureheads and speaking up about issues #especially if they don’t know what they’re talking about #but also if you can stand up for other things #why not this? #she reblogged pro stuff a few weeks ago #and has been liking stuff since the current conflict started #not to mention posting about it two years ago #but obviously that’s not enough #so it’s nice to hear her say it #unequivocally and without question #this is my side blog and I’ve been positing about things on my main #but it’s worth mentioning here #because carrying on like nothing is happening #does not reflect reality

i did in fact buy some silk yarn to try for shawl 2, but it won't be here for several weeks and that is simply too much time to spend not making a shawl. i may cast on an interim one and i do have some yarn already that would be a good candidate, but while i'm thinking about it i've started a hat.

#if i use my current yarn id still need beads. i love to shop for beads and they ship much more quickly but still not instant #and i demand instant gratification from my knitting nowadays. due to my various other life problems and difficulties #box opener #hat is the midas hat which is an all-stockinette hat where this side is a provisionally cast on brim #which will fold over on itself and then be knitted together before carrying on with the hat #making it ear-warming and practical. i opted for this mainly because if i can't be knitting lace i refuse to be bothered with patterned #stitching of any other sort. especially ribbing which unfortunately has always bored me #yarn is msy vespa which is the self-reward yarn i posted about ages ago. it's nice so far #i was toying seriously with using both skeins at once to do double-width stripes #may try it out after the brim fold to see what i think but im not sure it'll be worth the minor additional fuss. #knitting

There's a possibility that my dad, sister and me carry a cancer containing gene and that's totally not freaking me out at all

#for context #my dad's father and two siblings all had cancer #1 of those siblings is currently suffering and might not survive the week #so the talk about us Carrying The Gene came up #and im totally not scared haha #personal post #the tales of dawn

I finished my book while in Germany on holiday and I had not packed a second one so, despite all my misgivings, I found myself reading an e-book instead.

And on one hand, I have always been a print purist, reading words on a screen is just not the same as being able to run your hand over physical pages. But on the other, I realised I actually really like reading in little pockets of dead time during the day -- while waiting for a bus or for my coffee to be ready or on the tube and I read so much more if I have easy access to it on my phone. Not sure where to go with this discovery.

#honestly? currently leaning towards buying every book twice once as a hard copy and once as an e book #but that strikes even ME as dumb #also no -- i rarelt even use a bag when i go out and there is no way i will carry a 350+ page tome #with me all around the place #maybe i should look into a library membership or something for e books

Law and Bepo have just finished charting a new course when Law feel's Luffy's heart begin to race. He lets out a breath, ignoring it, and finishes looking over the last of the calculations, giving Bepo a final nod and stepping away, pulling a cigarette out of his pocket as he steps out the door onto the deck. He leans against the rail, lighting up, and brings the cigarette to his lips, inhaling.

He feels Luffy's heart skip a beat. The racing slows, tempo lowing again back to normal rates, and Law almost huffs and ignores it entirely, except then Luffy's heart rate continues to drop, and it doesn't stop. It hits his resting heart rate and then keeps falling, plummeting rapidly. Law sucks in a sharp breath, stomach dropping, one hand clutching at his chest as he stops so fast he almost staggers, because fuck, something is happening-

-

Luffy is dying, and Law is half an ocean away, too far to help.

I've been addicted to cola drinks for close to two decades (started out as me desperate and unconscious attempt at self-medicating ADHD), and all my attempts at quitting have failed. And I don't think I'm still quitting, but I accidentally found something that severely curbs my need for cola drinks:

Mandarin juice.

Specifically Fun Light juice concentrate, which to my mother's and diabetic friend's delight is sugar free. I have no idea what it is about mandarin juice that does it, but so far I have reliably wanted it instead of cola. They are even on the saime aisle in my regular store and I walked right past all the cola drinks without even looking. Weird, but I'm not complaining. The juice is cheaper and many juice bottles were added to the deposit system some time ago, so I even get tiny bit of money back when I return the bottle.

I also bought Cola juice concentrate and so far I am not impressed. I will probably mix it with mandarin juice so it won't go to waste.

#diaryposting #adhd #mom has been complaining about my sugary drink consumption for 20 years #so she's ecstatic that my addiction seems to have been shifted to sugar free option #she's also worried because diabetes runs in both side of my family #both mom and dad were recently diagnosed #so she does have a point #I may need to get a bottle I can more easily carry the juice than the shaker bottle thing I currently use...

My sketchbook is being held together by tape, an elastic band, paper glued to the pages, and me hoping really hard that it doesn't break

#i think it weighs about 1kg now #which is uhhh (googles) 2.2 pounds #it is an a5 sketchbook #my last one hit i think 1.4 kg when it was done #my friends joke they can use them as weights but tbh #i had an a3 one for my art coursework for '22-'23 and that hit 4.5 kg #and that book is ridiculous to try and carry #basically making the most inconvenient sketchbooks is a hobby to me #if i think ahead I'll take a picture with my current sketchbook and uhhhhhhh an old one of the same brand #to really empahasise how ridiculous this book is #it holds open at like a 50° angle

Canada officially got rid of interest on federal student loans (!!!) and in celebration of this financial windfall I got a used set of the fma manga on ebay and I won the bid and my brain is just packidge??? PACKIDGE????? Even though it's coming from texas and won't be here for at least 2 weeks

#franposting #monkey brain wants goodies #even with international shipping via ebay it was still cheaper to buy secondhand #plus i didnt have to buy from amazon! #since manga is hit and miss to find when its not actively in print #theres a few shops in the city but most carry only ongoing series #and its $$$$ to order stuff that isnt on a current run #so the most reliable way to get it is amazon but we hate that #so ebay my beloved ❤️ #im also going to get bg3 in early access for the extra goodies #and the rest of this windfall will be saved / used to pay off the provincual portion of the loans sooner #but yeah im literallt saving thousands. shout out to jt and the libs for doing something not complete asinine for once #i mean. still. devil u know. pierre mcfuckface is a billion times worse
