Genocide is destroying millions of lives. Help the victims, be on the right side of history.

they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

Traditionally, the Summer Olympics has closed with the men's marathon as the final event. In 2024, for the first time in the Games' history, the women's marathon was the final event — 40 years after the women's marathon at an Olympic Games was first allowed. Sifan Hassan (Gold), Tigst Assefa (Silver), and Hellen Obiri (Bronze) receive their medals during the Closing Ceremony.

i don't wanna sound hopeless but i feel like so many of you don't care or have stopped caring about palestine.

the news of hospitals being bombed, children being massacred, people dying from the cold, and the famine spreading in gaza does not seem enough to grab attention or make people care.

what new tragedy needs to befall gaza for you to start talking about it? the occupation kills a child every few minutes. people are cold and are starving. refugee camps are being bombed with bombs that can level city blocks.

this all happens because of all of us. we are complicit in this genocide because our governments use the taxes we pay to send weapons to the occupation. weapons that are used to kill children and impose a blockade that is starving 2 million people.

the very fact that we're still going about our days when all of this is going on breaks my heart. especially because we have failed to stop our governments from using our money to arm israel.

i urge you, please be generous and donate to suad and her baby khaled. he is just six months old and suad is unable to find any formula for him. if she finds anything, it is extremely expensive. the baby also needs warm clothes and is suffering from a respiratory problem and needs a nebulizer.

@suad-khaled has been verified [#279]

please help suad and her baby boy

post suck? unfollow. but not me- someone else, to blow off steam. stay with me

Happy 10 year anniversary to "Hozier" By Hozier!!!

do you ever feel like you're being left behind?

rapidly approaching my mid twenties has made me think of my position in this life. still living at home, still single, still working in a job that requires no real skill, all these things I've done in my teenage years of studying hard, getting good grades to get myself out there, get an upper hand and here I am.

having a place on my own is too expensive, not feeling like anyone is capable of loving you for who you are, not feeling like I can take the plunge and go for a job I'd be passionate about.

there's nothing in my life that spurs interest, I wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. day in, day out. its a never ending cycle that I can't seem to break out of.

I've been finding myself falling into longer disassociative episodes more often, because I simply can't find any reason to be in my own body and mind because life is so mind numbingly boring.

maybe I should move out, maybe I should date, maybe I should change jobs, maybe I should get back into my old hobbies... maybe.
