direct action means someone actually DOES the thing and accomplishes the goal themselves

so like, if your goal is to shut down a prison, doing actions, however bold or strategic or successful, to pressure the government to shut it down, is definitionally not direct action.

It's indirect—your group didn't shut it down directly, you did something to get the government shut it down.

in this example, direct action would be storming the prison and releasing the prisoners. that's you actually directly achieving your goal.

sometimes indirect actions are the smart play! they may be the most effective thing you can do in your specific circumstances with your specific resources.

that does not make them "direct action" though.

This isn’t commonly known but one of the rings of hell is actually being in a fandom wherein the popular bloggers have the worst opinions known to man that everyone else parrots

you cant ever let yourself forget what it felt like to be 15. how adults treated you. being treated without a shred of respect because people think youre too young to have thoughts and feelings of your own. the lack of autonomy. you cant ever forget that because if you do you might become the kind of adult who treats kids like theyre not people

this is assuming its on art you normally wouldn't jump to reblog. i myself only rb stuff i really really like so .

The 'rude/demanding' tone would be stuff along the lines of "if you like but don't reblog I'll [threat]" which i see surprisingly often, both serious and more silly

The phenomenon of the ultra polished “zine” fucked with my perception of independent art in a bad way. My first show years ago I stressed myself sick about the quality of my work, then overpriced my stuff and was unable to connect with the other vendors.

Learning to let myself make low stakes, messy and cheaply made zines has genuinely helped pave a healthier and more joyful relationship to my work. At a show this year I had exclusively single sheet zines and had a blast sharing and trading, plus I made friends!

I really hope the word association with glossy publications dies soon and zines get weird and shitty again.

it's absolutely breaking my heart how many people in the notes of that post are relating similar experiences. people being rejected from submission based artbooks that market themselves as entry level amateur community projects. people going to their first cons and having their confidence shattered by professional level work labelled 'zines'. people getting screwed out of payment or not receiving books they paid for, and being shamed out of pursuing it because it's 'just a zine'. younger people who didn't even know zines were supposed to be handmade!

we have to rescue zines, we have to teach people the joy of making a little book of soup recipes from scrap paper and trading it for a little book of titty affirmations. a zine is an ikea instruction leaflet you coloured in. a zine is a manifesto about liberating e-bikes, illustrated with a roll of price stickers you found in a drawer. we cannot tolerate a minimum entry requirement.

Hubristic Assholes Tourney Round 1 Part 4a

Light Yagami (Death Note) vs Icarus (Greek Mythology)

Propaganda Below Cut (Beware Spoilers)

Light

Thinks he can rule the world single-handedly through fear and a magic notebook. It Does Not End Well.

He kills people for years thinking he's serving justice but really he just ends up serving himself and his ego. Gets so sure of himself that he thinks he's untouchable and that no one could possibly outsmart him (spoiler alert: someone does). Literally thinks he's a god. Spoiler: Gets killed by an actual god because said god just couldn’t be bothered to wait around for him to die anymore.

He decides he should be the God of the New World and that justifies killing whoever he likes for the 'greater good'. This eventually leads to his downfall; Light my baby my skrunkly my most awfulest man ever. If you've been on the internet for more than five minutes you probably already know why he's here but like. He is mister hubris. He is nothing but hubris. He kills people and its okay! Because he's god :) Haven't you heard :) God doesn't have to follow laws. Or rules. Or be a decent human being. And if you say he's wrong then well. You're evil! The way he thinks is so fucked up i want to put him in a jar.

mr thinks he knows everything & is better than everyone gets a magic notebook that lets him kill people from any distance as long as he knows their face and name. decides that means he's god now and kills criminals and people he decides are criminals (including people who were given verdicts of "not guilty"). when someone goes on tv and says he's evil his first instinct is to kill that person instead of, like, taking five seconds to go "is this bait?" (it was bait). he ends the series pathetic and bleeding out because it turns out god isn't immune to bullets.

Icarus

The OG

Most of you know the drill. He and his dad Daedalus get locked up for suspected conspiring against the king of Crete, but Daedalus, clever bastard that he is, builds wings for them to fly away on. Daedalus warns Icarus not to fly too high or the sun will melt his wings, and not too low or his wings will get wet from the sea mist. But Icarus gets basically caught up in an adrenaline high, and enraptured by the beauty and light of the Sun, tries to fly even higher. His wings melt and he, unfortunately, falls to his death. C'mon he's literally The Guy
