When he’s a 19 year old fascist and you’re a 24 year old democratically elected politician but he has a tiny braid so you’re helpless to his charming pear floating powers
star wars is unrealistic because in real life, grimes became a fascist too
“democratically elected politician” she’s a princess
Just been informed that “Queen” is an elected position on Naboo and I hate star wars

Did you know? The reason citation in APA use only initials and not full names is because some women ran an experiment. They submitted some articles they’d written to a journal and the articles were rejected. They changed nothing about the articles except the authors’ names, which they changed to male names, and resubmitted them. The articles were accepted.
reading this deposition that just got dropped where someone sued musk and ohhhh my god it is this funniest thing ever . i can see why his lawyer tried to keep this confidential . they’re both maybe the biggest idiots . this is like ace attorney
bankston is my HERO he’s tearing these people apart
damn
HE LEFT
????
oh my god
KILL HIM
he is DONE.
HELP ME .
wow. ok.
genuinely first two pages he says that he thinks ben’s lawyer is the one who is actually suing him and admits he has no clue what the lawsuit is about .
Didn’t even have to check the timestamps to know these were sent after midnight
like i get what they were going for just a funny what if post-midnight text thing, but pony racism is pretty much a thing that’s both addressed and part of the plot points of the show
like there’s a reason they switch to everycritter once they start to deal with the other races like dragons, griffins, hippogriff/seaponies, kirin, etc
remember in School of Rock where the black girl was afraid to say she wanted to be a singer because she was fat and didn’t want to get laughed at but Dewey was all “who gives a shit, I’m fat too and so is aretha franklin but we’re still valuable and we rock” and then the girl felt better without having to be told that beauty comes in all sizes or some other bullshit. thats the kind of body positivity I’m looking for. tell these babies that they’re worth a damn without tying it to any other arbitrary ideals
Also like. when she asks him why he isn’t on a diet. and you just know she has heard this dumb “tip” a million times before (“just go on a diet!” “if you really apply yourself you can easily use x amount of weight!” “you just don’t want it enough!”)
& Dewey just
there’s nothing wrong! with liking food! and being hungry! you don’t need to starve yourself to fit into some bs aesthetic! eat food!
Also that he cited a fat black woman singer specifically as it was the black girl who asked. gave her a direct representation of someone just like herself instead of citing anyone else
This is the same thing over and over again. Palestinians die every day, but it gets a lukewarm headline from mainstream media because death and destruction is inherent to Arabness. Then an aid convoy with white workers is obliterated, and now both the president of the United States and the president of Israel are making statements apologizing for “the poor protection of aid workers.” At one point we were seeing multiple reports a day of paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society dying, but nothing. Crickets. Because they don’t care. And even in these “remorseful statements” there is a strategic reminder that white lives hold more weight than brown lives.
“crochet can’t be made by machines” went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of “so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it” which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)
Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine “make me a t-shirt” or “make me a knit cardigan”.
Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let’s not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. “All clothes are made by people” is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it’s not just crochet it’s the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH
i step out onto stage clad in full corpse paint and death metal regalia and start playing the most middle-of-the-road soft rock you’ve heard since 1974
Why is it that the buzz around the Central World Kitchen massacre lasted so long it practically drowned out everything else, but the ongoing, daily attacks on the Palestine Red Crescent Society don’t get any coverage? Israeli settlers have not stopped at Ramallah, the attack from a few days ago that injured multiple Palestinians; now they’ve moved on to al-Mughayir, a village near it, and the injuries coming out of that are equally barbaric. But it’s not just normal individuals they’re attacking—they’re opening fire on paramedics trying to reach those wounded too.
Like I don’t think it’s being properly reported just how frequent these attacks are. I feel like mainstream media is in a lull right now, where you don’t see much coverage about IOF attacks on residential areas—but they are still absolutely happening, and they are happening every single day. Two dead from an attack in central Gaza, IOF attacks on the PRCS this morning in al-Far’a, literally assaulting a volunteer paramedic before releasing him, and now allowing Israelis to continue attacking ambulances trying to attend to Palestinians after village raids. And this came in light of Biden’s shock and awe speech about protecting aid workers. It’s revolting.
In the West Bank, 4 different villages are being attacked and burned per day by mobs of armed zionazi settlers, according to a reporter on the ground (I’ll be posting the video later when I manage to clear storage). The ‘civilians’, armed by the state, creating pogroms and lynch mobs, cannot be given the benefit of the doubt. A colonial society at its core is a militarized and violent one. What is stolen by violence from its rightful owners can only be retained by maintaining that violence. Now they feel their control over Palestinians and our land slipping. So they’re going all out. This won’t go on for much longer. This is in fact a sign they’re losing.
when a pelican bites you there’s no malice in their eyes. they aren’t upset at you. they are just hungry and want to see if you fit in their mouths. and if you don’t then it’s no problem and everything is fine. and if you do then well i guess your fate is sealed but that’s ok it’s a beautiful animal

I do enjoy when fictional gay people are tormented by their sexualities and have internalized homophobia and are violent about it both with themselves + with others. I do love to see a bisexual self destructing because they don’t accept their feelings. It’s cathartic to ME.
