im tired of pretending theyre not a good band.
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

My dad is a musician and plays many instruments including the flute—he worships Ian Anderson; he and his late best friend Tom were Jethro Tull’s number one fans. I called them Jethro Dull. I was 4 or 5.
I remember being at Tom’s house sitting at the top of what felt like an endless staircase that went up to his loft—I was so tiny—watching them below and listening as they played this album on vinyl, just wondering when we could go home already. I wish I could go back to that moment. This song will always be imprinted on my soul.
Really don't mind if you sit this one out
My word's but a whisper your deafness a shout
I may make you feel but I can't make you think
Your sperm's in the gutter your love's in the sink
So you ride yourselves over the fields
And you make all your animal deals
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick
And the sandcastle virtues are all swept away
In the tidal destruction the moral melee
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way
But your new shoes are worn at the heels
And your suntan does rapidly peel
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick
And the love that I feel is so far away:
I'm a bad dream that I just had today
And you shake your head
And said it's a shame
Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth
Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth
Spin me down the long ages, let them sing the song

i have seen so many protests for palestine in the last few weeks and saw so many people not protecting themselves. here are some tips (this is all my opinion and not at all by a professional, if there even are professional protesters):
(partially ripped off of tyrathetaurus on twitter)
first of all: protesting is good. if you have the privilege to attend protests for a good cause, definitly do it. you can inform yourself for every protest in your city online, it really isnt that hard. just look for the protest, your city and than 2024, or whatever year.
second: many countries have the right to assemble!! i know of USA and Germany. its a human right to assemble and protest. dont forget this!
third: the police is NOT your friend! they are not there to protect protesters, they are there to make it more difficult for you. we have seen this in BLM protests, we are seeing this on uni and college campuses for palestine. whatever you do, try not to talk to police.
1. how to stay safe:
- write phone numbers on your body, write your name on your body
- DO NOT go alone to protest. always have at least one person with you. if you see someone alone, help them, stay with them, invite them to protest with you.
- put your phone on airplane mode, disable Face ID and fingerprint, use a PIN-Code, change your phone case to a black one, if you dont have it already.
- never take pictures of others with out their consent (this is self explainable). try not to take pictures and videos of people that could be easily recognised.
- dont wear stuff that can be easily recognised. wear stuff that hides your face and hides your skin.
- WEAR A MASK!!! not only can it protect your from diseases, it hides your face incredibly well.
- DO NOT talk to anti-protesters and police. youre doing more harm than good. its better to ignore than argue.
2. what to do if stopped and/or detained by police; what to do if youre threatend with or under arrest
- dont resist. they will attack you
- make sure someone is recording you, the officer, and the situation
- ask if youre free to leave. if yes, WALK AWAY
- ask why you are being arrested. if they dont answer: ask for legal represantation
- DO NOT give personal information, everything will be used against you.
Your rights if youre stopped/detained:
- you have to give consent for the police to search your stuff. if you do, everything will be used against you
- police can pat you down if they suspect a weapon on you
3. what to do if you see someone being detained
- film it. police cannot view or delete the footage
- talk to the person, calm them down. they are likely nervous and scared
4. USE YOUR PRIVILEGE!!! help the disabled, help possible minors, find medics for harmed or someone having a panic/anxiety attack, help BiPOC if theyre harrassed, etc…
5. if you are a minor, you should NOT protest, unless your guardian or a trusted adult is with you. remember: DONT GO ALONE
6. if you cant participate, HELP THE PROTESTERS!!! drop off water, allergy friendly food and snacks, sharpies, cards with helpful phone numbers, masks, hand sanitizers, etc…
7. cant protest at all? BOYCOTT AND REPOST!!! doing even something small is ALWAYS better than doing nothing. inform yourself https://bdsmovement.net/
especially if you are a minor: reposting stuff online, telling and informing others about the situation and boycotting IS HELPING.
please stay safe, go protest if possible, always help others.

We are NOT, and NEVER will be immune to propaganda.
Millionaires are NOT, and will NEVER be on our side. This includes CELEBRETIES. This may include YOUR IDOLS.
Your anger should NOT, and NEVER go to other groups like Minorities. Your anger SHOULD outnumber THEM. You should be angry at OUR GOVERNMENT. We are MORE than they are.
TALK ABOUT FASCISM WITH OTHERS. Whatever may be going on talk about it. LOUDLY.
You are NOT powerless. Help your communities, protest, inform others, whatever you can do, DO IT

Watched cowboy bebop this may but I wanted to give it some time to think about before saying anything abt it.
Now i can say that this is the anime oat. I discovered a band because of it. And how much i love jazz and blues. The characters are all well written, and the plot is undeniably incredible. Please watch it.
Whatever happens, happens.
