Lance: I’m A Circle

My mother says that fanfiction doesn’t count as reading because “it isn’t nearly as good as the stuff that’s published. You’re not going to find something online that will win a Booker Prize.” Please reblog if you count fan fiction as reading, or if the fanfiction you’ve read is equally as good as published novels. I want to see the figures.

Marcelat Sakobi of Democratic Republic of Congo, at the end of the women’s round of 32 boxing match against Uzbekistan's Sitora Turdibekova, made a strong gesture to raise awareness of the ongoing genocide in the DR Congo by placing her hand in front of her mouth and pointing two fingers at her temple.

Some of you are operating under this weird white savior idea that you’re saving Palestinian culture by mass consuming Palestinian themed items without sensitivity or reason. You’re not saving Palestinian culture by mass buying kuffiyeh print scrunchies or doing Palestinian miku fanart - you preserve Palestinian culture by preserving Palestinians. Palestinians are going to be the ones preserving our culture, just as we have for decades before this escalation. Not you. Please take a step back and actually treat our customs and identity with respect, not just a thing you can take from.

I feel attacked
