The most important thing to Philadelphia sports fans is that you try your hardest and do it consistently, and we once watched Joel Embiid score 50 points in a playoff game while suffering from Bell’s Palsy.
My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.”
When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough.
Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?”
Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime.
He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks.
That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.
i feel so guilty for being able to live normally while being aware of the fact that there's people dying to exist. there's literal people who are being killed for nothing.

Under a starless sky, tearing itself apart,
Broken moons awaken to play the final part.
Yet, planets arose from abyss black,
Surely, they will claim the heavens back.
See you this week end.
@aDrive_tK They have been really hitting it out of the park with these megas, like the fact that I think mega Malamar is the worst and I still really like it says a lot
Charlie Kirk aside, imagine the crowd hyping his pro-gun rhetoric. Then a shot rings out. In that instant of panic when they realize they might die by the very thing they worship, did the irony finally hit them?
"as of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders – male and female" our country is actually run by fucking morons oh my god...
