Look I just think sometimes people forget that Steve and Bucky were both young and stupid during the war, and probably made some interesting decisions about their bodies (such amateur stick-and-poke tattoos and self-done ear piercings)

The fact that Ye/Kanye continues to receive so much support and acclaim and his fan base is continuing to grow is a very dire look at the rising normalization of violent antisemitism. He has twice as many twitter followers as there are Jews on earth and that number has just gone up as he posts Nazi imagery and literally includes Hitler's own words in his music.

This isn't a mental breakdown or a psychotic break or a bipolar episode. This is a series of deliberate choices that take months if not years to put into place, along with a ton of money and a lot of people helping to make it happen, and it's all very consistent with his past behaviors. The fact that people continue to excuse and defend him is also extremely dire.

r/scrungycats is fucking amazing

It's still currently fucking me up how I've had confusion over the complexity of my nonhuman identity, how I've tried over and over to display physically what I felt through drawing myself and picrews and nothing felt entirely right, and it felt like my identity was constantly changing from an outside POV but I always had the same feelings about myself from an inside POV, I just didn't know what exactly I was feeling. I only knew vague, basic parts

And then I watch an internet show that came out a few years after my first realization of myself, and I watched it years after it first came out after having established certain parts of my identity to the world of Tumblr, and I come to find out that I'm a fictionkin who can finally put myself and my identity together once and for all

All this struggle, and all I needed was to watch a funky animated series 😮‍💨 wow

Also hey, friendly reminder that zio is a slur. If you are using a slur, stop using it. If you are trying to justify using a slur, shut up and learn from your mistakes. If you are told that it's a slur and double down, you are an antisemite. Full stop.

And for those who don't use antisemitic slurs: if you see someone using it, tell them to stop. If they double down, block and report.

Setting 2 coexisting facts straight:

- The Palestinian as a distinct Arab identity was largely formed as a response to the establishment of Medinat Yisrael in an effort to justify destroying it, cleansing the Jews and painting Palestinian Arabs as the only true indigenous people to the region. Both Jews and Arabs living here used to be called Palestinians at large, Palestina and Eretz Yisrael were interchangeable names.

- Palestinians as they are now known have been living in the Levant for literal millennia and cleansing or expelling them would be just as unjustified of doing so to the Jews or any other indigenous population of the region and they deserve self determination, label or not.

I want you to know Malcom X hated Israel along with most people during the civil rights movement

"Most people during the civil rights movement" except for Martin Luther King and his family, Bayard Rustin, A. Phillip Randolph, Rosa Parks, John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, and hundreds of others, you mean?

Basically all activists involved in the civil rights movement respected Jews and Israel. You are of course permitted to ignore them in favor of faketivists who raise awareness on OF.

As for Malcolm X, there's a lot about him if you check the comments / reblogs; basically, he was extremely antisemitic for most of his life because that was the doctrine that the Nation Of Islam cult preaches. After going to Mecca and getting a taste of non-culty Islam, he changed his mind about Jews and apologized, then NOI killed him.

but your honour thats my emotional support word i overuse

listen, fuck "to each their own", sometimes your mutual gets into some batshit insane rarepair that they're a little embarrassed about and it becomes your sworn duty to put on your jester bells and jingle jangle proudly by their side for moral support. don't be a pussy. it's ride or die motherfucker

remember kids, the moral of "Irish and Italians weren't even considered White yet!" isn't "because in those times people were so ignorant they didn't think the Irish were white". the moral is "because white is an unreal category created to justify slavery and ongoing hoarding of power and wealth". It's not that you know better about Italians. It's that the boundaries of the higher caste have changed.

new atheists deride religion as “primitive superstition” but when you hear their take on what religion is it’s clear they have the shallowest concept of it

Holy shit, I have finally got past my executive dysfunction and I'm watching Murder Drones for the first time

I had problems trying to figure out my robotic identity and I'm finally figuring out I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN A FICTIONKIN FROM MURDER DRONES THIS WHOLE TIME!
