Post from instagram @btnewsroom:

Why does the US gov’t support Israel no matter what?

Hint: it has to do with imperialism.

BT’s @keipritsker explains the crucial role Israel plays in US domination of the Middle East and geopolitics.

hey queen I'm going to need you to go to sleep. go to bed.

Introduction

Hi! I’m Jamie (not my real name but we’re using it until I’m eighteen). This is my little spiel on who I am what I’ll post so you can see if you want to follow or not.

Who I Am:

I’m a fifteen year old who loves to write, hoping to improve as the years go by

Some of my interests belong to fandoms such as Good Omens, Russian Doll, The Sandman, or OFMD. A lot of them are centered around music too (Des Rocs, White Stripes, Olivia Rodrigo, Florence and the Machines, Mitski, Grandson, K. Flay, random musical soundtracks, and many MANY more). I have a lot of extracurriculars like band, volleyball, science Olympiad, theater, quiz bowl, and honors classes (that last one doesn’t really count but it is very time consuming so I’m listing it). I love being involved but sometimes it can both be a blessing and a curse 😅.

My Blog:

I am going to get a big one out of the way first. Like everyone, my life is not all sunshine and rainbows. A lot of shit has happened in my personal life since I started freshman year and sometimes I get a little angsty. Of course if anything might be triggering I’ll put tags so you can stay away from it, but I may use this page to vent.

I generally am a pretty positive person, if not existisitential, so a lot of this page will be happy! Positive reblogging will be inevitable!

A lot lot lot of fandom posting

Maybe I’ll post some book stuff if anybody wants to try and give me advice (I love it when that happens). I might post a summary of a WIP and ask if anybody wants to give it a read.

Current events, you’ll probably see a reblog or more of some of the stuff going on. SAG-AFTRA, Palestine Israel Hamas stuff, etc etc. And once again, if you don’t want to see that kind of stuff just make sure to block those tags!

Thank you for reading and I hope I have the pleasure of gaining some new mutuals!

reblog this to give the person you reblogged it from a hug

So at a party it is socially acceptable to just silently join a circle of people talking and contribute to the conversation when you feel like it as if you already know everyone in the circle, btw.

hey could y'all do me a favour?

Reblog if you're okay with "weird" compliments on your stuff!

things like "biting this" and such

You think you're a demon? With your curly little...and neat white-

tetanus fact: it's an old wives' tale that tetanus is caused by rusty metal. it's actually caused by puncture wounds substantially deeper than they are wide, which introduce ubiquitous anaerobic spores (i.e. the "seeds" of single-celled organisms which cannot grow if exposed to oxygen) into a warm, poorly-oxygenated space in the body. so receiving shallow cuts from a rusty knife is not likely to give you tetanus but puncture wounds from clean but non-sterile objects can. this is great news if you like receiving superficial wounds from rusty knives and blades and swords all over your dumbass body

Me: So yeah, casual english has completely changed since then. Nowadays instead of 'There was a crying baby on the bus today' you would say 'Me when I'm in a being loud and annoying competition and my opponent is crying baby on bus.' And then you'd post this picture of Squidward. Oh, uh, Squidward is a guy from a cartoon-"

Reanimated Corpse of John Wilkes Booth: *Has been staring angrily at a penny for the last 15 minutes and not listened to a word I've said*

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

im so sorry but i saw you're url and i thought you were a bot...glad you're not tho thats cool

It’s cool I think a lot of people are bots unless they have a profile name 😂. Honestly it’s better just not to add people if you think they’re bots, I hope one day tumblr will get a handle on that 🙄

Reblog if you want one of these in your ask box:

•A compliment

•A story

•Why you follow me

•A cute message

•One thing you want to tell me

•One thing you want to know about me

so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch

Thanks for the tag!

There's over 9 million users on Tumblr now. Reblog if you're one of the few who's never EVER left anon hate in somebody's ask box.

i drew this because i. wanted to, i guess

good omens post-s2 fic recs

here's a list of fics i found really great so far!! all of these are completed, will go back and add in WIPs once they've finished.

Not for All My Little Words by @mia-ugly and @soft-october-night was the first thing i read post-s2 that i was like yes!!! yes this is it!!! its such a fun banter-y little romp of aziraphale trying to woo crowley with literary quotes as crowley hops around the world. VERY fun

Drinking Buddies and Diaries by dove_dove was another one. it's crowley teaching muriel how to be human and aziraphale getting weirdly jealous and bitchy about it. there's also a lot of aziraphale's diary entries in here. incredibly funny very satisfying ending and completely in line with the humor of the show.

puttin' on the ritz by @moonyinpisces. what can i say that hasn't already been said. funny horny goofy 20s romp. implies that crowley crashed the stock market bc he's googoo gaga. you can't get anything better than this

I'm the treasure baby, I'm the prize by stereobone. crowley takes up sex work only he never fucks the guys, he just hypnotizes them so he can use them as free therapists. just such a good concept and so well executed.

a rarer height by hyruling. this. THIS was the long fic i was waiting for. the arguments are so visceral, the scenery is a absolute gem. the tension and softness is palpable i just wanna lie down in a bed of it. absolute GOAT. emotional wreck for the ages.

Just Once More by NaroMoreau. i'm a simple girl i love a time loop and hoooooo boy does this DELIVER!!!! excellent aziraphale character study. excellent themes excellent language excellent everything.

To be honest, I think the correct to most things should be whatever as long it’s not hurting anyone. As long as it’s not crossing any major moral lines practically anything is acceptable.

It's very possible that the only way to ensure you don't become a conservative old person is to keep checking whether you're wrong. Every time. Genuinely mull over the opposing viewpoint even and especially when it's uncomfortable. You absolutely cannot a) consider yourself safely incapable of terrible principles because you're a good person, or b) treat a your disgust reaction to something as a moral truth. You can't get comfortable. Tiring! But you'd rather be tired and choose the right path, you know?

They do know that the purpose of the game was to show how terrifying capitalism is… right?

Fanfics

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

Behold

The greatest nature documentary ever created

show, don't tell:

anticipation - bouncing legs - darting eyes - breathing deeply - useless / mindless tasks - eyes on the clock - checking and re-checking

frustration - grumbling - heavy footsteps - hot flush - narrowed eyes - pointing fingers - pacing / stomping

sadness - eyes filling up with tears - blinking quickly - hiccuped breaths - face turned away - red / burning cheeks - short sentences with gulps

happiness - smiling / cheeks hurting - animated - chest hurts from laughing - rapid movements - eye contact - quick speaking

boredom - complaining - sighing - grumbling - pacing - leg bouncing - picking at nails

fear - quick heartbeat - shaking / clammy hands - pinching self - tuck away - closing eyes - clenched hands

disappointment - no eye contact - hard swallow - clenched hands - tears, occasionally - mhm-hmm

tiredness - spacing out - eyes closing - nodding head absently - long sighs - no eye contact - grim smile

confidence - prolonged eye contact - appreciates instead of apologizing - active listening - shoulders back - micro reactions

I see this post:

And then I see this immediately after:

I love you tumblr

If you’re a real human person still using the default tumblr avatar, consider changing it.

why should you change it?

When you guys pop up in our notifications, most seasoned tumblr users will suspect you’re a bot and block on sight.

why do we block immediately?

tumblr has a history of bots trying to infiltrate and establish a connection to a valid, existing blog in order to populate google searches. Simply liking or reblogging a post, not just adding a scam link to it, establishes this connection. Tumblr users don’t want this to happen, especially if it’s a scammy p*rn bot. So, we often block on sight.

So now I have to reblog stuff AND change my pfp?

Well, of course that’s up to you! I just want to explain why you may have been already blocked by an artist/blogger you may have discovered recently, and how you can avoid it in the future.

Reblogging does help creators more than likes because your reblogs will show up on the dash of those that may follow you. Plus, reblogging puts that post on your own blog, and in case the original gets deleted or edited by the OP, it’ll be on your blog like that–forever (or until you delete your blog). Nice.

Here are some free icons created by catalyststuff on freepik. Highly recommend their art for a simple replacement!

Love this ❤️

Random character arc moments and plot points

• in fight about to give up and lose, but then they hear the love interest, or sibling, friend, yelling their name

• friend being in a bad situation/hurt/being caught and they see the MC, but they can't do nothing to save them because they'd blow cover

• character begging to live, and crying their eyes out...or not, just froze in fear and pleading

• character accepting their death knowing they've done their work, and smiling in their last moments

• pushed past their breaking point

• character reuniting with someone they thought was dead

• sacrifice themselves for everyone or just one person

• composed characters losing their composure

• characters hugging each other after one or both of them have been through everything

• the hero has a gun pointed at the villain, but they are struggling to pull the trigger. They can't. They yell for the villain to run

• the betrayer finds the hero, their former friend, injured, and they have compassion, never really wanting the hero to die or be hurt. They help the hero. (Further more, if they end up having to trust each other as the situation becomes more dire.)

• the hero is being captured/hurt/leaving, and their friend held back from intervening and they struggle

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

Hello Mr. Gaiman,

How old were you and Terry when you each first got published? Huge fan of both of your works and I’m always curious when my favorite authors first got published. As I get older I feel like any chance of finishing and publish something I’m proud of get slimmer. Thank you in advance if you answer and no worries if you don’t, I know you must get flooded with questions every day lol. ❤️

I was first published when I was 22, but didn't publish any fiction until I was 23. Terry was 15.
