Actually, it wouldn’t because you have no idea what I use to colour my hair AND don’t fucking mansplain my hair to me for fuck’s sake. What the actual fuck, men. WTAF
HOW THE FUCK DO WE GO FROM “Hey, Twitter! I read 52 books this year” to “Stop dyeing your hair,Mona, because your red hair is causing the climate crisis?” HOW?!
TwitterLand. I have ACTUAL REAL enemies. Regimes which have sent their people to break my arms, sexually assault me, send me death threats, etc. Tell these boys of the patriarchy to GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY.

My #2019ReadingGoal was to read a book per week. Books have been most cherished and loved companions ever since I was the little girl who loved the library who grew up to be a writer. Here’s the thread about what I read this year
Here are the titles and authors of the 52 books I read this year for my #2019ReadingGoal
Of the 52 books:
- 47 were by women (cis and trans)
- 3 were by men
- 2 were by non-binary or gender non-confirming people
- At least 19 were by queer authors and-or featured #LGBTQ characters
- 24 were in translation
- Authors were from at least 28 countries

I remember what I was doing at this time in 1999: preparing for the holidays and the Millennium. BUT, I can’t for the life of me remember what I was doing in 2009 at this time. Do you?
I can see 1999 Me about to say yes and then no and then yes to the boyfriend who would become my shithead ex-husband. Don’t do it, Mona!

But 2009 Me? Where were you, Mona? Hmmm...
1999 Me lived in Cairo & was visiting NYC for Xmas & Millennium. It was my 1st visit since my family 1st went to NYC (& US) in 1982. And holy fuck! I realized I would love that city more than I would ever love any man or woman.Soon to be ex-husband understood & was jealous of NYC

fuck it I'm gonna do the thing people have been telling me to do for years. I'm gonna watch Avatar: The Last Airbender. But first, this is a thread of what I think this show is about, who's who, and what happens... 1/-
First: Aang. I know this name. This is one of the 4 names I know. I think this is the main guy. I think he's bald. At some point he gets an arrow on his head? I think he kicks and fights people. I think he's maybe the main guy. Going out on a limb, probs the last airbender. 2/-
2: Toph. She's blind. She's very cool. People forget she's blind a lot, I think. Def saw a gif of her being sassy about someone showing her a bit of paper? No idea what she does, but I guess she also fights? Don't actually know what the last airbender does, so... 3/-

Continuation of Daddy Issue Izuku? In the SFW sense, anyway.

"Deku-kun?" Katsuki twitched as Round Cheeks called Deku for the third time with no response. "Deku-kun-"

Katsuki slammed his fists down on the table and spun around. "If he isn't answering you, maybe you should shut the hell-" he stopped mid stream, eyes widening as he laid
eyes on Deku.

He was staring at his phone, slack jawed, eyes filled with tears but his expression... There was something there that Katsuki couldn't place.

"Are you okay, Midoriya?" Half and Half asked tentatively as he approached with Uraraka and Glasses. The entire class was

Here’s a thread on Inspiration Porn and how the depression and anxiety it caused actually led me to drop out of college because a mental break exacerbated by inaccessibility (cause too many people think it’s benign) :
One of the things you become familiar with as a disabled kid is people constantly watching you. Not in a way that parents regularly watch and become amazed at their children, but actual strangers will pin their hopes and dreams on whether you smiled that day—they’ll tell you!
Also weird is how people put you in positions to be seen so that you boost their profile or that of an institution. Multiple times I’ve received awards I had no idea I was in the running for (they’re made up) and been paraded on stage.

1) The $TSLA saga is the most compelling drama in financial history. It’s the largest ever single equity speculation instrument of all time.
2) At this point it appears as though the celebrity CEO built the capital raises on fraud at every level.
3) They have built this cult of followers and supporters that really believe the CEO working for the betterment of humanity.
