What happened in the Netherlands was that a bunch of zionist settlers were terrorizing Arabs, and for the first time in their lives had to fight them on an even playing field. This was the first time they weren't throwing grenades and shooting at chained up Palestinian children. They got their asses handed to them by Arabs they attacked and that led to a pity party, atrocity propaganda, and a travel ban to the Netherlands. Because "Netherlands, why aren't your filthy Arabs locked up? Why are they roaming the streets? Why have you allowed Arabs to enact a consequence for anti-arabism and zionism? Our settlers are unsafe there, they can't terrorize Arabs like this."

a casual glance at jstor reveals tons of articles on the significance of jewish glassmaking—and i’m upset that i haven’t heard a word of this in my glassmaking class—all i hear abt is italian venetian glass. shocking, never surprising.

are u ever sick w longing. and i don't just mean romantic longing. i mean longing for a place you barely get to see, longing for friends you no longer have, longing for feelings you might have left behind in your childhood, longing for creativity, longing for a rich and more expansive life, longing for less inhibition. longing for more passion. longing for ur life to be so incandescent w something it thaws all the frost in ur bones. are u ever so consumed w it it rends ur heart in two. do u understand me

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Everytime a cis women tries to argue against gender neutral language in medical settings it becomes very clear they care more about their comfort then trans men being denied medical care and dying.

I don’t care how ‘uncomfortable’ the terms person with a uterus, person who can give birth, person with breasts, etc. makes you. I very much care more about trans men having access to medical care than a cis person’s feelings.
