It's so sad that I am hearing of Bosnian genocide survivors talk about how they are triggered by the genocide denial happening around gaza. That the rhetoric that is being thrown around in the media and the rationalization for killing thousands and the talk of "let's be careful of what we call genocide. Let's wait before we call it that" is repetitive of what they were hearing when they were living through it
And Holocaust survivors who were protesting in DC and feeling the burden of having to come out and protest another genocide being done in their name except the media has completely sidelined them because it does not fit the narrative.
I have no other words except how terrible this is but it feels comforting in a weird way that genocide survivors are standing with Gaza. Who needs the acknowledgement of governments when you have them
reblog from my doodle and cries-over-amazing-pixel-art side blog @lil-bloomz
Here’s my sketch to pixel art of my (now paused, leaf-babes-and-awkward-book-nerd-and-fashionable-gamer-lesbians indie game 🍁
This is my main character Leafette. So far I have her as Black, trans, loves books and sweaters. Lol that’s it. I was making this game, but I wayyy over-scoped at my current level of game development, so this game is on the shelf for a bit longer. Might try to make a basic demo by late 2023 for a cozy little fall game 🍂
Here’s my 2021 blog post if you wanna hear about my beginnings for this character and game! Yes pls I wanna read more about leaf lesbians blog link.

On the right against a light brown background, is the pixel art drawing of the same character with a brown colored, leaf for a head. They are wearing red earrings with a dark green knit sweater that has light green patches on the shoulders, cuffs, hemline, and collar. They are wearing blue jeans with heart-shaped patches at the knees and red shoes. END ID]

truly connected people on a staggering level. If you engage with anime, even if you dont like dbz, chances are the anime you like got to you because of dbz's popularity. If you like jrpgs, even if you've never played dragon quest, the games you do love almost certainly became a thing because someone in the 80s loved dragon quest. 68 is way too young but genuinely what a towering legacy.
Boycott Disney. Boycott McDonald's. Boycott Starbucks. "Oh but it won't work, it won't do anything" Yes it will. Boycotts have worked before and they will again. Think of the Montgomery bus boycotts. Think about American women boycotting imported British goods during the revolution.
Why do you think popular media is so quick to discount boycotts as ineffective? Could it possibly be because they work? Could it be because major corporations understand that they work and are scared? Could it be because boycotts have historically been utilized by marginalized groups to assert their views and fight for change within a conflict in which they have no power?
Do not have give in to the apathetic nihilism of "nothing I do matters, so why bother?" That is exactly what oppressors count on. Be critical of the media you consume. Ask questions. Look to history. Boycott.
In Super Mario 64, if Mario approaches a Bob-omb without being seen and stands close to its spawn point, it will continue walking in a straight line without ever turning around as long as it does not encounter any obstacles or uneven ground and Mario does not move away from the spawn point. Note how it walks straight ahead in the footage despite its usual behavior being walking in circles.
If it encounters a slope while walking, it will change directions. If it happens to change directions in such a way that it looks directly at Mario, it will see him no matter how far away it is at that moment, even if it would never be able to see him from that distance under regular circumstances.
Taken together, this results in the bizarre scenario seen in the footage, where Mario is doing literally nothing while the Bob-omb first decides to walk extremely far away, suddenly "realizes" Mario was there the whole time, and attempts to pursue him only to explode before even reaching him.

[Image Description: Animation of a square pixel art drawing with black background with a thin white frame within in. Inside the frame is a white-colored character with no features or details, that has a circle head floating above a dome-shaped body. On the right to the character is a white oval with two lines pointing down out from it, representing a table. On the table is a white apple with two vertical eyes, facing the character. The words “eat?” is animating in and out of the camera, every other frame. END Image description]
