they are done!

no i dont think women starving themselves and reconstructing their entire faces with makeup and plastic surgery is feminism and female empowerment

the problem of fandom reducing characters who are women and/or people of colour to sexist/racist stereotypes is definitely aggravated by the fact that a lot of fans simply do not pay very much attention to these characters in the first place then subconsciously paper over the gaps in their perception with things they’ve been culturally conditioned to believe are true about people in the same category as said character

Anyway if nothing else matters then I hope people remember that Pope Francis used his last public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and call Israel a terrorist state:

"I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism."

Guys please talk about Palestinian prisoners’ day. It feels like everyone has gone full mask off and just stopped bringing attention to this entirely - but a lot of detainees you advocated for one year ago are still detained today. Still facing the same conditions of squalor & torture & being indefinitely separated from their loved ones. The stats on Palestinian detainees are still as bad as they’ve ever been. Please talk about it

if you play video games long enough you see the fandoms treat black characters the same way over and over and over again (wyll ravengard, felix iresso, preston garvey, vivienne de fer, etc etc etc)

i’m just a girl, standing in front of a fandom with a poorly made canva wedding invite, asking if they like the sound of marriage of convenience may.

due to overwhelming real life grief i both cannot engage with this show rn and need a fun distraction, and as a girl who loves a silly thematic hook and a bit of alliteration: i bring u ✨ marriage of convenience may ✨

truly the only criteria is buck and eddie deciding a marriage of convenience is the most sensible thing they can do for each other and then silliness and romance ensue. the details are up to you clever lovely people.

i even made an ao3 collection for it here. so if you also need a distraction and a reason to write a marriage of convenience fic for buddie, please take this as your sign. it would make me very happy.

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

Today, I survived death once again…

I had only gone out to bring some food for my family, when a missile struck near a charity kitchen. In just a second, I could have been another name on the list of martyrs.We live in tents. No safety, no enough food, no clean water. We die on the way to find a meal… and we die if we go without it.

Speak about us. Don’t forget us.

Every post, every word, every donation—might be the reason one of us stays alive a little longer.

I miss the romance cards

so are they....yknow....narrative foils and mirrors to each other?

some of you care about dunking on individual zionists more than a) challenging Zionism as the violent colonial terrorism it is and b) more than supporting Palestinians. People like Trump, Gal Gadot, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Schumer, Jamie Lee Curtis, and whoever the fuck else - their Zionism isn't just an excuse to call them losers. It's a form of terrorism they're lending their social and political capital to in order to legitimise and further enact that terrorism. Moreover, calling Gal Gadot a shit actor (while incredibly true and accurate) and calling it a day isn't anti-Zionist enough. Support Palestinians, uplift Palestinians as much as you shit on Zionists otherwise what's the point. Speaking of which here is a GoFundMe campaign supporting over 80 Palestinian families in Gaza and the West Bank that still hasn't reached its goal. Support Palestinian art, film, academia, etc too. Read Mohammed El Kurd's latest book, Perfect Victims. In light of the testimony from survivors of the IOF's latest massacre Palestinian paramedics, remember Zionism isn't just something that gives you an excuse to call out celebrities. Zionism is terrorism. Zionism is genocide. May we see and and keep fighting for a free Palestine in our lifetimes.

i do love how buck realised he was bisexual and it was like wow! huge character development moment! maybe this was the missing piece in his growth! only for him to just barrel straight into another disaster relationship. like.. terrible first date, then reconciling and immediately inviting him to a family wedding? six months later they've somehow never even mentioned the fact that tommy isn't into women or that he was previously ENGAGED (let alone that it was to the same women buck had a deeply formative relationship with). and to celebrate this milestone tommy gets buck a gift we've established he isn't interested in, but it's ok because buck got him nothing. also buck is NOT in love (or seemingly even considering it), but nevermind he obviously has to invite tommy to move in. because of glee. but instead that conversation ends with buck getting dumped. and then they run into each other and have sex at buck's best friend's old house he lives in now only for tommy to reveal he's only interested if he's not in competition with said best friend. to which buck fails to deny the in love with his best friend allegations but makes sure to mention that he doesn't have to have feelings for tommy just because he slept with him........ how beautiful that buck can fail to have a functioning relationship regardless of gender <3
