Friendly reminder that Israel isn't a country, it's an occupying force that occupies & bombs Palestine and Syria and is kept alive on the military & financial aid from Western countries, mainly USA & UK and due to some spineless Arab countries & its leaders who would rather sell their souls than free the oppressed.

“I learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do. I learned to suspect that everyone is capable of living a lie. I came to believe that other people - even when you think you know them well - are ultimately unknowable.”

An excerpt
Stars dissolved before my eyes./I could tell nothing apart.
we need more books that are written like YA novels but have characters in their 20s… like I can’t keep reading books about teenagers but I’m also not ready for the weird adult romance section of the book store
Also adventure/fantasy books with main characters in their 20s because I don't wanna keep putting myself in the shoes of a 12-year-old just to feel the rush of entering a new world or the adrenaline of battling dragons and flying on broomsticks.
At this point, I no longer know what my Tumblr is for. So here's a picture of my car.
MARVEL OFFICIALLY HAS EVERY CHRIS
But imagine if they start collecting Toms too.
