everyone talking about “aura this” “aura that” “aura loss” “aura farming” i’m glad everyone has read and internalized “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”
fully conspiracy pilled on this, ai is a psyop to make an entire generation 'graduate' from highschools & colleges completely uneducated, to make adults incapable of organizing their workplaces, oligarchs want a servile underclass again so they're giving you all ✨serf brain✨

Not long ago, when the bakeries were still operating, I went to the bakery—or rather, to the greatest struggle I have ever faced in my life. I entered amid more than a thousand people reaching their hands towards the bakery window. After a struggle that lasted more than six hours, I finally got a bag of bread.
As I was leaving, an elderly man stopped me and asked for some loaves. When I looked at his face and he looked at mine, we recognized each other. He was one of my university professors who had taught me. He saw my face and knew me, but he didn't say anything. I deliberately acted as though I didn't recognize him to spare him any embarrassment. I gave him half of the bread, and he left.
I followed him without him noticing. I found him sitting on the sidewalk, eating and crying. He was crying, and I was crying, not knowing what to do. I left him to cry alone and returned to the tent.
This man before you is one of the best calligraphers in Gaza. He lives in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, where one of his sons was martyred, and his leg was amputated. But genocide spares no one.
Fuck this vile world.
Throwback to when Israel assassinated a journalist, tried to cover it up, then admitted it, but refused to do anything about it, and assaulted her funeral.
Remember Shireen Abu Akleh.
fucked up that when they put contrast in your veins for an MRI they’re like “it’s gonna make you feel like you peed your pants. rest assured, you are not peeing your pants.” and you’re kinda like “that sounds ridiculous” but then it really does feel like you peed your pants.
