Weird Asks That Say A Lot

that trend but with Jily

Don't let Trump being shot distract you from the fact that Damascus is being bombed right now.

This is so important and relevant (in general but also for me personally in many relationships). The way I try to explain it to myself/others is like if we didn't have this constant online access, this would be much more easily recognuzed. Like if you called your friend on the phone, if they didn't answer your response would be oh they're probably busy (even if that's busy with personal/fun activities) but the problem arises when they have not picked up a call from you for days or weeks at a time with no explanation. Then it would make complete sense to consider if they were ok, be hurt, or be more insistent on contacting them.

Continuing this same example. If they didn't pick up the phone once and the next time you speak to them you say hey what was going on when I called you at x time, and if they continued to seemingly ignore your calls for days only occasionally picking up etc it would be the time to seek reassurance (totally valid and often needed). But it would become tiring, unnecessary, harmful, etc to go over to someone's house in a panic every single time they don't pick up the phone, (i.e extreme distress/reassurance seeking every single time, maybe multiple times a day). It would be reasonable then for that person to be depleted or even extremely anxious in this relationshipjj

People don’t owe you their downtime! And I don’t mean this in a harsh way, but in a “quit breaking your own heart” way.

It’s so easy to see a friend “active” and reblogging on tumblr, or maybe making a status update on Facebook and feel hurt they haven’t replied to our messages.

Different things take different energy. And someone being “online” but not actively talking to you does not mean they no longer love or care about you.

for the past several months, palestinian men have shown a great amount courage and bravery in the face of danger.

they have dug people and children out of rubble, sometimes alive and sometimes dead. they have travelled miles and miles to provide food and water for their family.

they have come online pleading with everyone to help them. many travel long distances for internet connection. they have been on the frontlines for months, providing for their family, documenting the genocide, helping people and in many instances, dying.

in return, they have been dehumanised, their lives are not counted as 'precious' because they are men. people have been indifferent to their suffering and death. they have been called scammers, all while they face the dangers of airstrikes, food and water scarcity, and disease. they have been dehumanised to such an extent that people refuse to help their fundraisers.

i urge you all to share the linked posts and donate what you can spare to those who are suffering. we owe it to them, for we never talk about their suffering.

I am consumed by fear that my mother might die in Gaza while I am far away, unable to help her. The thought of her suffering alone in such a dangerous place breaks my heart. I feel so helpless and terrified, knowing I can't be there to protect her or bring her to safety. Every day is filled with anxiety and dread, as I hope and pray for her survival amidst the chaos.

unable to stop thinking about the idea of aaron being under the assumption that both andrew and nicky knew how dangerous (and possibly fatal) it was for him to ride out his withdrawal locked in the bathroom. his relationships with them being influenced by the knowledge that they'd rather him dead than an addict.

and of course andrew finding this out in one of their sessions with bee, and having to admit he didn't know. and aaron has to reevaluate everything
