Bisan's recent post. I think it's important for you to read it. Tonight 03.12.23, journalists in gaza share their last messages. There are no words to describe the horrors unfolding in gaza right now.

I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!

I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.

I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!

I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!

My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .

A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.

So...

I had came out to my mom 3 years ago about me thinking I'm bi. She said I was bicurious. For the past year I've come to know more about myself and realized I like guys and girls, just girls a bit more. Around my friends I make jokes about my sexuality and they get it. I just couldn't make them around my family. My mom didn't really seem to like to talk about it. The other night we were having one of our heart-to-heart conversations and I brought it up. I told her I felt like she wasn't comfortable about it and she seemed to avoid it. She told me that she excepts me for who I am but since I haven't done anything sexual I don't know. "I know what I'm attracted to," was my rebuttal every time she'd say since I'm not sexual I wouldn't know. She finally said, "no matter the race, gender, ethnicity, religion, as long as they treat my daughter right I'm happy with it. And let someone in the family say something about it. I'll deal with them." I could not have been more happy in my life. I realize some parents don't except it and I'm lucky. The only people I have told are my friends, my mom, one of my brothers (the other living 36 hours away and not being able to talk much), and my cousin. My dad and his family don't know because they are super religious and I grew up with them so I know how they can be. My dad is far away, I barely talk to him. He's also homophobic and racist, which makes me not want to talk or tell him even more. I'm scared to come out to my grandma as she basically raised me when I was younger. I love her to pieces but she's judgemental and has a certain image she tries to maintain.

I always get so fucking mad when I remember that it’s actually a 16-year-old Algerian girl who influenced BOTH Picasso and Matisse. and. No one gives a rat’s ass about her work which was very focused on women and nature. History -or people dare I say- didn’t bother to remember her name because she was a young Algerian woman and no one cares about Maghrebi/Arab women. unlike P*casso & M*tisse who both became legends, almost gods both during their lives and after their deaths, no one knows her.

Her name was Baya Mahieddine.

I fucking love this

Why ya need to shut up about "shitty fanfic"

Do you know all those posts out here about being supportive of young artists and being careful with how you talk to them about their art? Or just appreciating fanart in general and not being a total asshole?

That doesn’t exist for fanfic writers.

I am so freaking tired of seeing posts talking about “what a pain it is to rake through shitty fanfic” and memes about “shitty fanfic existing in abundance” , “shitty fanfic being the only fics that update regularly”, “popular pairings having a ton of fanfic but only a few good ones”, and all this crappy attitude towards fanfics that may not be that eloquent or fandom famous.

Don’t be an asshole. Everyone needs to start somewhere. Maybe in a few years these writers will improve and make much better fanfic. Even if they don’t, they are doing something they love and should not be freaking criticized for it. Keep your ranting and opinions about “shitty fanfic” to yourself. You’re making a majority of fanfic writers feel self-conscious, unmotivated, and even more unappreciated.

Days like ‘fanfic writer appreciation day’ are super nice, but ultimately fall short unless we fix this horrid attitude fandoms have towards fanfic.
