hey, I'm nika, I'm 27 and use they/them pronouns! I am a gay ecologist, and an immigrant in scotland.
I sometimes post nsfw. if you need anything tagged, just throw an ask at me!
part of why i recognize little to no difference between so-called “recreational” vs “medical” drug use is because i recognize stress as a medical issue. mind-body dualism has us all convinced that stress is an ephemeral emotion that doesn’t affect our bodies, but like daily stress, particularly if you’re also disabled in some way, just Will Kill You. it can destroy your organs, overclock your brain, weaken your immune system… the effects of prolonged and consistent stress are underresearched (because then we’d have to question how we allocate labor. lmao), but they’re there. if you use weed every day for no reason other than you need to force yourself to relax chemically so you can have fun and take your mind off stress, that is indistinguishable from medical use to me, having discarded mind-body dualism.
Hundreds of thousands of people came out today in London to March for a Free Palestine. Hundreds of thousands of people disagreeing with the current government stance on the war. Don’t let the media fool you, people in the UK stand with Palestine.
Reports are saying that nearly half a million people marched in this protest. That’s roughly equivalent to 1 in every 16 people who live in Greater London.
I’ve personally not seen anything on this scale since the Iraq war protests.
GLaDOS: I spent some time researching common human insecurities so I might better insult you. I’ve discovered that physical insecurities often manifest due to feelings of envy stemming from comparing oneself to others.
GLaDOS: There are no other humans in this facility. Just you. Therefore, you lack a source of envy of which would trigger the feelings of insecurity in your tiny simple human brain.
GLaDOS: A shame, isn’t it? I thought so too. Which is why I’ve taken it upon myself to artificially create a humanoid body for myself so that you’ll have someone to envy. A female figure who is taller than you, more mature than you and has larger breasts than you. Gaze upon my new form of perfection and shrink away in your envy. You’ll never achieve this level of perfectio- why are you smiling at me like that. Stop it.
if you want me to consume a new media you MUST catch me at the exact moment when the stars are aligned and the air pressure is equal to the current degree of the sun’s peak against the horizon and all the cosmic energies are perfectly unified (aka my old interest is fading out) or i will nod and say “im adding that to my list!” Knowing theres no chance i will check it out
“unless its a book!” “unless you tell me it has gay people in it!” “this but only for live action shows” “theres a good chance i’ll get to it eventually” no wrong this post is not for you this post is ONLY for bitches who could have a treasured friend recommend them something that sounds grown in a lab to be your personal catnip and, with no choice in the matter, immediately know it will never be the right time to watch/read/listen to it
Do not fall into despair. Continue calling your local officials, attending protests, boycotting companies that fund open genocide. Because of this media blackout, we are now Palestine’s voice - please do your best for them.
