the fact that Israel can precisely target ONE apartment in an entire residential block in BEIRUT to kill two hamas leaders, proves once again that they CHOSE to carpet-bomb Gaza and murder 31.000 Palestinians to "defend themselves" against Hamas. Israel CHOSE to kill civilians, they CHOSE to bomb every hospital, every school, every refugee camp, every residential block. israel does NOTHING to spare the lives of palestinians, they want to thin out the population of gaza so they'd be able to settle their citizens there.
this is a genocide it's an ethnical cleansing PLEASE WAKE UP don't stop talking about Palestine it is not a trend, people are still dying, Israel has no plan to stop if WE don't force it to, through public pressure and protesting and boycotting. it's the least we can do.
abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao
2024 is the year we stop “consuming” and go back to “reading/watching/listening to/playing” things
making a guide is too kind honestly, if ppl lack the common sense to not be a prick to someone and lack the ability to consider how they’d feel if someone said these things to them, they should be exiled from society. actually i’m surprised natural selection hasn’t gotten them yet
very informative guide tho
Thanks :)

“She had felt that way during her own childhood; she’d felt like a watchful, wary adult housed in a little girl’s body. And yet nowadays, paradoxically, it often seemed to her that from behind her adult face a child about eleven years old was still gazing out at the world.”
— Anne Tyler, Clock Dance
“I will not have you without the darkness that hides within you. I will not let you have me without the madness that makes me. If our demons cannot dance, neither can we.”

searching for the most "perfect" and "unproblematic" kind of representation will fuck with your ability to enjoy the media you consume. Characters are going to fuck up and act like humans. They might engage with problematic tropes and behaviours. sometimes it will be toxic and sometimes it will be soft and thats not a bad thing. you will disagree with actions and choices because thats how media works.
you dont have to love every queer character and story BUT acting like only one specific niche of representation is "acceptable" and good? fuck that. And as i said in that other post. STOP ACTING LIKE ONE MOVIE OR SHOW WILL DISMANTLE THE FIGHT FOR QUEER RIGHTS.
