#and are using it to spread hate

[sspadfoot]

Imagine being a marauders content creator with a large fan base and voicing about how much you hate how fanon has ‘eradicated’ the og Marauders.

If you have a problem with the fandom then don’t interact. It’s as simple as that.

So TikTok is already back in the US not even 24 hours after it was closed, and I am not a fan of the phrasing of this message. “As a result of President Trump’s efforts” he’s not even in office yet, what do you mean as a result of his efforts?? Why bother turning it off before the deadline if it was just going to be turned back on practically immediately? (It’s propaganda, that’s why) (edit: this was posted the day before inauguration, January 19th)

There is a lot of misinformation going around about Mahmoud Khalil. Please read this if you have read or posted about the case.

Mahmoud Khalil was arrested on March 9th by ICE agents in public, as he was returning to his apartment. His arrest was legal and was conducted in a legal manner. Neither ICE nor the police need a warrant to arrest someone in public, on the street.

Mr. Khalil has not been "dissappeared." He is being held in Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Jena, Louisiana. He has been assigned a public defender. Her name is Amy Greene. He has a deportation hearing set for tomorrow (March 12th) with a judge, in which the judge will review the case.

The Department of Homeland Security has accused Mr. Khalil of leading pro Hamas rallies on the Columbia University campus and publishing/passing out pro Hamas fliers that included the Hamas logo. He has not been "charged," because he does not have to be charged under US law. Under US law, a greencard holder has a right to a hearing with a judge to determine whether or not they violated the terms of their greencard. One does not need to be convicted by a jury to be deported for supporting terrorist organizations. This is not a comment on whether or not this law is fair. But it is important to recognize that this is standard and does not violate Mr. Khalil's right to due process.

Also under US Law: one of the conditions of being granted a greencard is that one not be involved in activities that could be argued to be in support of a designated terror organization. Well.

Mahmoud Khalil is an open Hamas supporter and a leader of the Columbia University Apartheid Divestment organization, an explicitly pro Hamas organization that regularly organizes pro Hamas rallies, passes out pro Hamas pamphlets that include inspirational quotes by Hamas terrorists, and organized a "day of mourning" for Yahya Al-Sinwar, the leader of Hamas and the architect of the Oct 7th terror attacks. CUAD has self described it's goal as the "total eradication of Western civilization" through violence. Mr. Khalil has been filmed at multiple of their pro Hamas rallies, which he presumably helped organize as a member, and acted as a negotiator on behalf of CUAD a few days ago (March 6th) during the Columbia student building takeover and bomb threats.

I am not the judge who will be reviewing Mr. Khalil's case. But I find it hard to make an argument that being a leader of an explicitly pro Hamas organization is not supporting terrorism.

Guys, listen. The amount of misinformation I have seen immediately regurgitated about this man, about how his rights have been violated, by fellow Jews, is absurd. Trump is evil. That does not mean we have to make shit up about how an open Hamas supporter is being unfairly attacked. This ENTIRE issue is about whether or not supporting antisemitic terrorism should be considered supporting terrorism. Of course it should be! This is literally just equal application of the law, something we have gotten so used to not happening when it comes to Jews that we are now making up reasons to defend someone who's rights were not violated and openly wants to kill us.

There are so many. SO MANY illegal and unethical arrests and deportations happening every single day. Why on earth is Jumblr deciding to go to bat for this man of all people, and act like THIS CASE, of all cases, is one that needs to be fought against? Why are we acting like this case, of all cases, is some flagrant violation of the law that should be used to highlight how evil Trump is?

I'm sorry but have we lost our minds? Literally nothing about this man's arrest was illegal and his right to due process has not been violated in any way. The ONLY reason this is getting attention is that people believe SO strongly that they should have the right to organize rallies in support of a terrorist organization that's stated goal is to kill the Jews. That's it! That's the only issue. Not even his lawyers are claiming there was some violation of this man's right to due process. This issue is ENTIRELY about whether or not it's "free speech" for someone who agreed not to support terrorism as a condition of being granted a greencard, should have the right to support terrorism specifically if it's terrorism directed at Jews. That's it! That's it. Please. Please PLEASE. Can we focus on the ICE raids happening at the school my roommate works at? Can we stop going along with this violently antisemitic delusion that the legal deportation case against a pro terrorism rally organizer is the ideal case to prove how unfair and illegal these deportations are? What the fuck?

Bonus round! Do you use a queue tag?

[youwillfindilluminating]

both deborah and jon are listed for ALL 18 EPISODES of daredevil born again S1 & S2 and I'm really, really hoping that's accurate and we're getting 18 freaking episodes with them together

update: she's in 3 episodes this season 😑 hopefully they'll make the most of it!

[deoidesign]

I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.

I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.

This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.

When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.

And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.

It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.

If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.

“The Ephebians believed that every man should have the vote. Every five years someone was elected to be Tyrant, provided he could prove that he was honest, intelligent, sensible, and trustworthy. Immediately after he was elected, of course, it was obvious to everyone that he was a criminal madman and totally out of touch with the view of the ordinary philosopher in the street looking for a towel. And then five years later they elected another one just like him, and really it was amazing how intelligent people kept on making the same mistakes.”

this isn't at all meant to be condescending or finger-waggy because 100% we all have blind spots like this, but I'm really, really hoping that the people who never found Gaiman's approach to his own fandom concerning in any way will take this all as a learning moment.

he was an older, hyper-famous author engaging directly and frequently with an online audience of largely vulnerable young marginalized people. he presented himself as cultured and worldly, and made himself approachable as someone to go to for advice, encouragement and "wisdom." his manner of speech was extremely pathos-heavy and clearly intended to be comforting and encouraging in exactly the way his target demographic needed it to be to swallow every word. the way he spoke about stories and creativity was designed to make young creative hopefuls feel special and important, while sweeping real analytical techniques under the rug - in hindsight, likely so no one would think too critically about the disturbing amount of patriarchal abuse played for cheap shock value and voyerism in his own body of works.

Gaiman saw a target demographic that was desperate for an older creative role model to tell them they were worth something, and he exploited that pain to twist a narrative around himself where he was king and any critique leveled at him or his works were the enemy.

to be clear, he could have been innocent. he could totally have been just an out-of-touch old man saying nice things to people because he wanted to be kind and he thought he was a lot smarter than he really was. red flags are warning signs, not a surefire way to tell if someone is actually "secretly shitty."

but if you used to look up to him, PLEASE take this moment to revisit the ideas you absorbed from him. did you take his words to heart because they seemed to have objective merit? or did you take them to heart because it felt good to believe what he said? do you still hold these values? does knowing he was intentionally manipulating his online audience make you less certain? do you need more information from a different source before deciding one way or another?

again, I'm just really, really hoping people on here will take a moment to reevaluate the ideas and opinions he's injected into tumblr fandom culture, because his reach is immense and he has absolutely been manipulating popular perception of relevant topics to gain further influence and control the narrative around both his own and Pratchett's legacy. please, please take this moment to notice what he's been doing - and next time someone tries to pull the same shit, hopefully we'll be able to apply what we've learned from experience.

idk how to feel about the flinch Jimin did when jk rubbed his neck - he’s never flinched like that before :( could it be a result of nerves/the ms? but it seemed like they were on with nice people ! Idk if reading to much into it, but seen others not sure what to think of it either. Jk didn’t looked worried tho, so sure it’s nothing about him, just the touch in general idk??

I really do not understand why this flinch is being discussed everywhere and blown out of proportion like this is such a big deal???

Idk, can't people be normal for a sec? And put themselves in Jimin's shoes?

Do people have any idea how stressed they must have been on that day?

They literally went from being cut from the world entirely, to being propelled under the spotlight in full force in front of 393737 reporters and suddenly 8 millions people watching them

Add to that the fact that JK was really reaching for contact even if they were on an official live and you know that Jimin was trying to be more careful, as always filtering things

Add to that the neck is a sensitive spot

So when Jk touched him the fact he flinched is not surprising at all, he was under an insane amount of pressure at this moment

And he has a boyfriend who is a complete wild card on top of that he was already this close to outing them on this very first live

Poor Jimin 😅🤣

This flinch is not that deep for real

And JK (the brat) said, why are you so nervous? Teasing him. Yeah why do you think he is so nervous JK???? 🤣🤣🤣 maybe because the whole world is watching?? And bcs Jk is really not making Jimin's life easy hahaha JM's trying to be restrained but with his boyfriend it's impossible it seems

Honestly props to Jimin to show that amount of self control and playing it off after

If I was in his spot I would have a little more unhinged reactions to Jungkook at that specific time

So no, to me the flinch isn't a big deal at all

And now I'm thinking how awful it must be to be them, having every little reactions scrutinized and diagnosed and turned into some kind of drama

Jimin is just human, with human reactions, he can take only so much in a day

I'm not targeting you specifically anon but it's for all the people talking about it lately bcs I saw some wild takes

I just wish people could have a little bit empathy and compassion for Jimin who has been through a lot on that day, and the last 18 months in general

What I find cute is that once Jimin realized "this is a safe touch" he leaned into it and let JK do it 🫠

Jk was really pushing the buttons, that man is LOCKED

Jimin is in deep trouble for the future 🤭🤭🤭

God I fucking HATE TRINITY UGH. TOM KING GET AWAY FROM WW COMICS GRRRRR

extremely valid and also im using this post as a backboard thank you <33333 wonder woman fans, here's a poll:

there are probably more options here but i just woke up a little bit ago. i would appreciate any and all insight, there are no right or wrong answers. if it helps to know my standpoint, i think Lizzie as a concept isn't terrible and her design is cute, BUT!!! i don't appreciate her actual written origins and believe she's too centered around Batman, Robin, and Superman. she's supposed to be a Wonder Woman character... i'd appreciate if anyone could give me "well this is how i WISH she had been written" advice so i can gain some research for if i do end up writing her. i have a couple ideas of my own but ultimately i am not THAT well versed on Wonder Woman lore at the moment. this post is specifically designed here for people to rant/rave/whatever so don't worry about bugging me with your thoughts, i WANT them. the more the better!

ALSO ALSO: this post is NOT an excuse to go after anyone with a differing opinion. anybody who starts being rude to someone else will be deleted or blocked. i can't tell if this warning applies to Wonder Woman fans... am i scarred from Batfam posts...

Gentiles will see a post where someone justifies murdering a 4 year old Jewish child for liking Batman under the argument that it is "cop propaganda" and write a paragraph about why Batman isn't cop propaganda instead of why murdering Jewish 4 year olds for any reason is bad.

Fucking funniest thing is, the FBI seizes any links that lead to the genuine Z-Library, but without fail leave up all the scam ones that pretend to be fundraising for Z-Lib.

Anyway, if you have a Z-library login and use it on any z-lib link that ends .is, .io, .to babes you're being scammed! Check the security of the email address you've used and also if you're reusing that particular password anywhere, change it ASAP. If you have made a transaction, block it PRONTO!

Z-lib exists on the concept of free access to books, you have previously been and will always be allowed a limited download of 3 (or 5 or 10) downloads a day, depending on whether you have an account or have made donations.

See, Z-library has fundraised in the past, but they will never cut off your access for not donating. Do you know how much IP law-related trouble they'd be in if they were explicitly charging for access to books that the US legal system already views as 'stolen'?

There are a few ways of accessing them now, most are through torrenting (need help? Reddit or Telegram apparently), many of the regular browser web URLs have been seized.

When in doubt, do not click. Trust your instincts if you feel anything is off. If you're unsure about a z lib link, try a libgen mirror or something else instead.

Posting this here because I know a LOT of readers, students, broke folks that would like access to books, other folks with geographical barriers; basically a lot of folks who might potentially use something like Z-Library. So FYI and heads up, stay safe out there. Change that password! (And feel free to reblog this, again for aforementioned reasons)

Toxic masculinity looks like a video of women explaining they dont date guys who drive teslas

Its also the 50 thousand people who upvoted it on reddit, the thousands of comments agreeing with video or joining in to mock such guys, as well as any man whos decisions or self worth are influence by it.

But most importantly: its the 12 year boy who just saw that video and all the comments and upvotes and just internalized the message that his self worth is based upon what women think of him. Something he'll subconsciously express when his first rejection feels like a personal attack.

So when i say toxic masculinity is enforced by men and women alike, this is what i mean.

Holy shit I swear some people make me want to launch myself into the sun.

For the last time, Helluva Boss is about Blitzø’s relationships, not IMP missions. Viv and Brandon have both said that numerous times in interviews and at cons.

Blitzø’s biggest and most complicated relationship right now is with Stolas, OF COURSE that’s going to be the main focus of a good majority of episodes. If you don’t like that then don’t watch the show.

I’ve seen people say they’ve liked these shorts more than the last few episodes of the show because it’s “like the show was in the beginning.” But hello??? It’s called character development. If the only thing the show was about were these little missions IMP goes on, you would get bored! Not having character development or character relationships would get stale so fast!

I swear media literacy is at an all time low.
