Good stuff.

This. This is good fiction writing advice. I really appreciate how it was formatted as “this is a common problem, here is a solution to try in your own work” and not “oh god, don’t do that!” without any extra help. And I extra appreciated the “don’t rely on adverbs” bit, because they do have their place but they aren’t the only way actions can be emphasized.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post

…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

“What is reality? Is it singular in nature? Or do several parallel realities exist at the same time? [...] But what if the simultaneous existence of life and death also applied to the macrocosmic world? Could different realities exist side by side? Could we split time and let it run in two different directions, and, as with the cat, induce a state of death and life simultaneously? And if so, how many different realities could exist side by side?”

i’ve seen a lot of people (here and on other platforms) talking about wanting to boycott israeli businesses but being overwhelmed by how many things are owned by israel. go here and choose your country. bds focuses “a small number of companies and products for maximum impact” and will redirect you to organizations near you. those organizations will then tell you which boycotts are ongoing within your general area and what you can do to help

A foreign power can send airstrikes killing 56 people- including 14 children- and still receive support, both financial and through attitude, from the US government. 

A Palestinian militia group kills 6 people (adults) in Israel, after weeks of being forcibly evicted and brutalized by the Israeli government. The US government and politicians are up in arms over this ‘act of terror’. 

The Israeli government retaliates by killing over 9x the amount of people, including children, in government-sanctioned air strikes, with the enthusiastic promise of sending more, and the US government is completely silent.

This isn’t just a culture clash. This is a government brutalizing a group of people for their own imperialist benefit. This isn’t just a religious disagreement. This is a militaristic state using its military to do horrific things.

The US has long had a deep problem with Islamophobia. If the majority cultures of the sides were switched, the US would never dream of backing the side that they are. It would be played as Israel bravely fighting back against an oppressive regime. It would be played as horrifying acts of a sovereign government, of a valiant fight for freedom. But no. Because of the prejudices that are so deeply woven into America’s government, no matter which side Palestine is on, they will always be painted as the villains, the terrorists, the evil.

This isn’t okay. The media bias on this issue is not okay. Please, look at the facts. Look at the numbers. Don’t just look at the sensationalist headlines. The US government is not the bringer of hope and freedom that the propaganda tells you it is. It’s just as corrupt as any other large imperialist state. Don’t forget that.

(Note: this is not a slight on the civilians of Israel or the Jewish community. This is a condemnation of the corruption in the Israeli government and the US government, not a religious or cultural grievance. Do not use these events as an excuse to be anti-Semitic. Do not.)
