young me especially would have hated hearing this but networking is literally the most important thing you can do to improve your situation like forget economic barriers to education etc just keep making friends with different people and eventually someone will offer you a hand up just because they dig your vibe and that is exactly all that's happening when undeserving people surpass you anyway

What do you dislike about al Ewing? Just don’t vibe with his stories or is there something you actively dislike? I’m aware of the horrible antisemitism snuck into immortal hulk by the artist Joe Bennett (fuck that guy) but otherwise I’m not certain of anything super objectionable in his work

Well I wouldn't call Ewing either not noticing or not caring about the antisemitic comic panel in Immortal Hulk (because yes, writers do look over comics before their publishing, to say he wasn't involved is naive at best) an "otherwise".

But aside from that, Al Ewing (a gentile) has repeatedly incorporated bastardized Kabbalah imagery in his comics. Kabbalah is a field of Jewish mysticism that is extremely closed. Judaism is a closed practice already, but Kabbalah has its own boundaries *within* Judaism. Many hold that it can't even be studied in depth until one is at least 40 years old.

Kabbalah has been appropriated and bastardized by non-Jews for a long time and it's only gotten worse within the last century. Al Ewing has no right to take Kabbalistic imagery and bastardize it for his own gains. It is not a cheap witchy aesthetic you can just play with.

And honestly I find it infuriating that people don't seem to know or care about this. Why is it okay for a white British man to just play with and prophet off of sacred Jewish ideas? It's not. But people act like it is.

My god my girlies

MY GIRLIES. I am still crying, I am still crying about this. Every day I cry about this.

You bitched so hard about being forced to read 1984 in school when it’s so problematic (tm)

Maybe you should have actually paid attention when you read it

Because all these AI fics

You are LITERALLY MAKING THE GARBAGE NOVELS FROM 1984 that are written by machines

You have literally recreated the worthless soulless machine-made books

Literally,

Literally. Every once in a while it hits me in a fresh wave of disbelief and anger. You have literally created the dystopian book from the dystopian story about why dystopia is bad, and you are passing it around like it’s this amazing thing. I’m crying, I’m crying.

Instead of calling Lewis Hamilton a grid dad (incorrect, he barely remembers their names bless their hearts, it's giving gay rich child free aunt), consider that these rookies are actually dilf hunters and it's Lewis Hamilton season

the problem with "tumblr is dying add me on discord" is that posting on tumblr is like jovially walking down the street chatting to no one in particular and dming on discord is like having a sleepover conversation with one specific person both are good but theyre not substitutes

Me at 17: ohh my god why do people who are barely even 30 start going on about being sooo old when I say I was born in -94, like ugh you don't even look old, nobody would have noticed if you hadn't said anything.

Me at 31: [gets fucking blasted with 40 metric fucktons of psychic damage from scrolling tumblr and seeing a post by someone who was born in fucking 2005 and is married with two kids]

biggest L i've had to take from morning people is that the hours between 5 - 9 am really do have 7x as much time in them than the ones between 9 pm - 1 am and you can get your whole day's worth of shit done by noon
