Need a girl who detects symbols notices patterns connects dots. a girl with good visual processing . brain eye coordination . a functioning optic nerve
no but the funniest thing about those “non-americans please don’t joke about our suffering!” tweets is how completely unaware most Americans are of the extent to which their politics (& elections) affect every nation suffering under imperial violence
in a way the pantry sprout is a very glamorous assertion of being alive , how the sweet potato is naive enough to imagine a life otherwise. the sky is just behind the plastic shelf above. I am in the soils embrace
Boy roommate won’t let me throw his sweet potato away. I told him it scares me and he began talking about the beauty of “life forms” and “growth”. I quickly realized he’s actually attached to this thing. I’m tossing it on Sunday
what u get is a western born & raised diaspora kid who makes a career out of writing poetry abt the smell of saffron while getting to ignore an economic crisis going on in their home country...
a perfect example of how the white “redneck” proletariat protects the property of the ruling class, by virtue of their access to the imaginary idea of whiteness and it’s inherent, class-defying superiority
I have actually thought about not bullying western born and raised disapora kids ! I have seriously considered it. but you are all so annoying god bless
the diaspora is usually incapable of separating the real physical homeland from the nostalgia and longing associated with it for someone raised in the west, and therefore incapable of realizing the realities of life in their home countries
...while simultaneously drowning out local voices in global discussions by being automatically seen as an authority despite (and sometimes even because of) their western upbringing
angel mamii is marina abramovic for people who’s zizek is the red scare girls just like ayesha erotica is kim petras for people who’s anya taylor joy is chloe sevigny. its not that hard tbh
native forms of cultural/traditional head coverings in iran that are not enforced by state sanctioned violence and would in fact be considered inappropriate at times by IR morality police
fantasizing about the spontaneity of hunter gatherer daily life... imagine just foraging when hungry, sleeping when tired, and being torn apart by an apex predator if caught slipping. I want nothing else tbh
rewatching the instagram story every time there is a new viewer but each time from their point of view not in an obsessive neurotic influencer way but in a voyeuristic transmutation of the self into the spectator kindof way
tfw u are an upper paleolithic woman looking down at your own body for autogenous portrayal only for some cumbrain to call it pornography 25,000 years later on the world wide web
This is one of the worlds oldest sculptures, made something like 26,000 years ago, of a ladies big tits. It's not worth discussing whether pornography is good or bad if it's just a part of humanity. Like sleeping, eating or farts. Where humanity goes pornography follows.
an orangutan could learn to push around a cart at the grocery store and pick up bananas and pay for them but a human could never comprehend the rich inner life and complex social order of the indonesian canopy
America strategically imposes sanctions & trade restrictions on us, bullies other countries into cutting ties with us using threats of similar treatment, & forces our people into imbalanced & exploitative dependencies to then corner us into submission
I think its funny that for most diaspora people being called out for romanticization validates this idea they have of themselves as corny individuals yearning for the nurturing touch of the motherland, as if there isnt something very wrong w/ adopting that as ur entire aesthetic
americans are doomed to forever ‘’’stan’’’ idealized projections of politicians they’ve formed parasocial connections w and make fancams until they die, there is no hope for y’all fr
people here are literally basing their finances on this election. that is how much our currencies & economies fluctuate based on the political climate of your country. lol but we cant make a joke about you having dance battles with trump supporters & making revolution POV tiktoks
but I think this is why the tweet is being interpreted by diaspora ppl as “haha we all do this very dumb thing as a community but its okay bcs we’re self aware” & not “most artistic/academic conversations of diaspora r vapid & pointless & dont actually engage with any real thing”
I dont think there’s anything lower than a bootlicker tbh, doing free labor to defend the interests of the ruling class to no real benefit of their own. how fucking tragic, what a manipulated, brainwashed bunch
most beautiful woman you have ever seen selling cheap perfume in the tehran metro: your birthstone scent is honeysuckle do you like floral oud tones? I dreamt I killed my husband in a fit of rage and hysteria. do you believe in love
in 10 years when all social media apps have amalgamated into one big omnipresent entity I’ll get a notification asking me to explain a tweet from 2017 where I called elon musk a bald rhesus monkey & I’ll have 60 minutes to make my case before they put me on trial for defamation
so bleak to see people admit abortion is an archaic child sacrifice ritual then try to frame that as an esoteric divine feminine thing instead of the brutal act of violence it actually is
