soo… cooking and reading is what i wanted to say originally but people already answered. but catching up with friends or meeting them is such a good way to just lay your phone down and be in the moment. i specifically always ask my friends to turn off their phones when we‘re somewhere. its also such a respect thing: imagine you meet with your friends and theyre on their phone like ALL the time. its not fun to be with them.

no literally, just talking. i spent hours catching up with a friend, just talking and not even once glancing at my phone or the time or where we were. i know the trend is ~yapping~ but truly i think we all need to start showing up more for our friends and just talking until it’s late and you’ve spiraled from “have you seen that tik tok?” to “yeah, well, its interesting because my mom and i used to have a strained relationship and now…”

maybe it’s a quick coffee chat or a 2hr dinner or just an arts and crafts sesh but i want to know about my friends lives! even with the busyness of life i want to make sure i set time aside to make sure my friends know i appreciate them. i’ve had way too many friendships just slowly fizzle out because we text every few weeks saying we should catch up and never do.

I have friends all over the place and it’s not enough to just like their shit on social media, it’s good to call every couple of months and just have a life check in.

i have seen so many protests for palestine in the last few weeks and saw so many people not protecting themselves. here are some tips (this is all my opinion and not at all by a professional, if there even are professional protesters):
(partially ripped off of tyrathetaurus on twitter)
first of all: protesting is good. if you have the privilege to attend protests for a good cause, definitly do it. you can inform yourself for every protest in your city online, it really isnt that hard. just look for the protest, your city and than 2024, or whatever year.
second: many countries have the right to assemble!! i know of USA and Germany. its a human right to assemble and protest. dont forget this!
third: the police is NOT your friend! they are not there to protect protesters, they are there to make it more difficult for you. we have seen this in BLM protests, we are seeing this on uni and college campuses for palestine. whatever you do, try not to talk to police.
1. how to stay safe:
- write phone numbers on your body, write your name on your body
- DO NOT go alone to protest. always have at least one person with you. if you see someone alone, help them, stay with them, invite them to protest with you.
- put your phone on airplane mode, disable Face ID and fingerprint, use a PIN-Code, change your phone case to a black one, if you dont have it already.
- never take pictures of others with out their consent (this is self explainable). try not to take pictures and videos of people that could be easily recognised.
- dont wear stuff that can be easily recognised. wear stuff that hides your face and hides your skin.
- WEAR A MASK!!! not only can it protect your from diseases, it hides your face incredibly well.
- DO NOT talk to anti-protesters and police. youre doing more harm than good. its better to ignore than argue.
2. what to do if stopped and/or detained by police; what to do if youre threatend with or under arrest
- dont resist. they will attack you
- make sure someone is recording you, the officer, and the situation
- ask if youre free to leave. if yes, WALK AWAY
- ask why you are being arrested. if they dont answer: ask for legal represantation
- DO NOT give personal information, everything will be used against you.
Your rights if youre stopped/detained:
- you have to give consent for the police to search your stuff. if you do, everything will be used against you
- police can pat you down if they suspect a weapon on you
3. what to do if you see someone being detained
- film it. police cannot view or delete the footage
- talk to the person, calm them down. they are likely nervous and scared
4. USE YOUR PRIVILEGE!!! help the disabled, help possible minors, find medics for harmed or someone having a panic/anxiety attack, help BiPOC if theyre harrassed, etc…
5. if you are a minor, you should NOT protest, unless your guardian or a trusted adult is with you. remember: DONT GO ALONE
6. if you cant participate, HELP THE PROTESTERS!!! drop off water, allergy friendly food and snacks, sharpies, cards with helpful phone numbers, masks, hand sanitizers, etc…
7. cant protest at all? BOYCOTT AND REPOST!!! doing even something small is ALWAYS better than doing nothing. inform yourself https://bdsmovement.net/
especially if you are a minor: reposting stuff online, telling and informing others about the situation and boycotting IS HELPING.
please stay safe, go protest if possible, always help others.

im tired of pretending theyre not a good band.
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
