"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I fell asleep in my friends' arms. It was eleven at night, we were tired, curled up in a small pile on my tiny bed. I had my head buried in my roommate's side, and one of my closest friend's hand on my shoulder, steadying me. It was quiet and nothingness and peace and their heartbeats in my ears, my hands in their hair.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

We pack four people to that little bed, you know. Laps used as footrests, collarbones as pillows, little lights like moonlight in rustic yellow bathed on their faces. The TV plays an anime. The words are repeated by my dear friend on my shoulder, curled close. My legs are asleep; my roommate may be, too.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

The cat curls on top of our criss cross mess of legs and arms and heads on chests to absorb the warmth of us all. She purrs in contented peace. When my roommate and I are left alone in the quiet, she cries, and watches the door for our friends' return.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I will never kiss them but the top of their heads. I will never touch but the warmth of their arms. I will never take more than what's freely given, and in return I put my glasses on the bedside table fashioned from a guitar amp, and when I lean into their sides, I pick up my vulnerability and place it in their capable, tender hands.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I sing for them. I cry for them. I work and I run and I withstand the worst of the world for them, because some days I get to cradle their forehead on my shoulder and some days I get to see their shining eyes.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

Maybe to you. But look beyond explanation. I love them. With my heart in my unsteady hands, with my nose pressed to the side of their head, with the buzzing in my feet and the warmth all around Iike the sunset pushing into the window.

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

Is it enough to say I love them? With no strings attached? With reckless abandon and utter devotion and freedom and kindness and fear?

"there is no platonic explanation for this--"

I cannot explain it any clearer. I love my friends. There is no more to say.

PAKISTAN IS A TERRORIST STATE

This is a poster placed in Pakistan showing their newly promoted Field Marshal Asim Munir on the right and terrorists Talha Saeed (son of Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of the 26/11 terror attacks), Saifullah Kasuri, a top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander and the alleged mastermind of the Pahalgam attack. This post was in regards to a rally that was taking place for these 3 terrorists. Also, guess who was at that rally? The Speaker of Punjab Provincial assembly (Pakistani Punjab).

Kasuri was outright flaunting the infamy he gained for this terror attack. He was enjoying the fame of being attached to a terror attack.

"I have become more famous since being accused of the attack," he said.

Talha Saeed, son of Lashkar chief Hafiz Saeed, along with Malik Ahmad Khan, speaker of the Punjab assembly - something that once again laid bare Pakistan's claim of having taken action against terrorists. Talha publicly lauded Pakistan's so called Bunyan al-Marsoos operation, in retaliation to India's Operation Sindoor. "Allah loves those who engage in jihad," he said while Kasuri and others cheered.

It's quite fascinating how Pakistan even has the audacity to tell India to give proof, when their own leaders engage with terrorists near their capital Islamabad, and are cheered on by hundreds of people. Pakistan WAS and IS a terrorist state

AYE. 🤚🤚

I vote yes.

Someone should start a hindu vents blog similar to jewish-vents where we can all just vent about hinduphobia whether it's receipts or just irl bigotry

What do you think?

Aaah I’ve been talking with a friend about this. Should we make something like that? I guess we should. Hindus have a lot to vent about after all lol.

Thank you for reminding me! I’ll think about this and maybe we will have our own venting blog!

What do y’all think? Feel free to drop in the replies!

AND THIS IS A FRENCH HORN

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

hi everyone, I just wanted to say this that I rarely post anything too opinionated because I know that any pro-Hindu voice is always silenced. Any time I bring up the fact that my own parents were the survivors of a genocide I am met with nonchalance and disdain, which hurts me very much. Maybe a more easy to understand analogy would be that a rape victim told about their rape to the world and the rest of the world would take the sides of the rapist and victim blame the victim. Do you see how traumatising this can be? But enough is enough. I'm an adult and I know that there are many Hindu kids out there who have no one to defend them, to protect them. So I am stepping up. I apologise in advance for my harsh words and rants, but I need to get them out of my chest. Thank you.

so almost a year back we had this random all girls gc where 2 pakistani girls were too we all used to had fun and stuff we grew apart (obviously) and one of the girls replied to my stories (which were about India vs Pak war) and these are few texts from her:

I can’t think of any other country that’s been as patient as India for so many decades. Pakistan is a failed Islamic state, dominated by its military since its creation either directly or indirectly, with an economy kept alive thanks to IMF bailouts.

It’s given safe haven to terrorists like Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist who beheaded Daniel Pearl. There is zero moral equivalence between India and Pakistan. #

oh shit, it's 3/21/23, 32123, palindrome day

One of the coolest things to remember is that because prey animals have eyes on the side of their head, they are looking at you when they're in profile, not facing you! Hot tip for artists and animal lovers!

Asexuality win! Person who repeatedly pressured their ace partner to "compromise" on sex because it was "a necessary part of a healthy relationship" fucking dies. <3

idk why people are still trying to do "hear me out"s on tumblr

you could talk about wanting to fuck the space needle on here and people would still call you a poser for insisting on fucking "conventionally attractive architecture" as if that's a coherent, easily-recognizable category

I got tired and went onto photoshop and my friend told me to post what I made so

INDIA STRIKES BACK

So, once again, I have done very little writing, but have been working away at some of my music stuff! I think I might have shared a snippet of this before, but I can't remember, so I'm sharing it again. Anyways, found this old WIP in my files, and figured I should give it some of the love it deserves. It's a lofi remix of "My Happiness" by Powderfinger. I need to do the pre-chorus and chorus at least, but here's what I have so far!

You don’t remember what you do for a living. Literally. You black out for 8 hours 5 days a week and a paycheck appears once per month.

wait ok now i'm curious how old were you when you joined tumblr and how old are you now

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

how the fuck do people survive in like sub 0 temps wtaf it's 14⁰C and MY QUEENSLANDER BUTTCHEEKS ARE FUCKING FREEZING!!!

Having a much older, much more experienced person tell you you're doing well in your shared hobby is better than crack, especially when the hobby tends to be 80% retired ppl. Like, hell yeah I'm gonna get a good grade in birdwatching and I'm not even 50. Child prodigy moment

my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day
