I finally got around to watching Dunkirk.

Whilst the movie was well made, the erasure of Sikh and Indian soldiers from European history cuts me deeply (as the great granddaughter of the British Indian army’s Sikh men).

Normally, I post pictures or gifs of the actual film with my thoughts but honestly, this time, fuck that.

Look upon the faces of the forgotten. Those who gave everything to defend freedom, while their own homeland was being oppressed.

istg no one believes me when I tell them that the reason why mummies are so hard to find is becoz the British fucking ate them all??

can u imagine how much more fucked job hunting would be if vampires were a thing. there's no openings because everyone mid-senior level and up has had that job since the 90s. the youngest professor on the tenure-track is 101 with 62 publications. u just graduated from medical school and you're competing against 175 yr old dickheads who have specialised in 4 types of surgeries and can diagnose 80% of diseases from scent alone. good lord.

Going into Alecto, I think it's important to expect that the series won't conclude with a clear lesson. Either about morality—what makes a good person, evil getting their just desserts, ect—or a thesis on decolonization. It's not that kind of story.

Deep down, this series is two drunk girls bearing their souls in a dark corner of the bar. An hours-long conversation that wheels wildly through pop culture, past trauma, theoretical physics, dreams and aspirations, global warming, hairstyling, friends, family, gender, personal insecurities, world history, favorite foods. It has a lot to say, and a lot of it profound, but it's not trying to teach anything. At the end of the night, the point was how fucking cool that girl was, and the potent electric potential for something lgbt to happen

I’ve not seen anyone say this yet so I feel like I ought to:

even if the ICJ demands that Israel stop their military operations, we still need to keep talking about Palestine. Even if Israel actually fully honours this ruling and stops the siege (something that I, unfortunately, don’t think is very likely) we still need to keep talking about Palestine. Palestine is not free until the occupation ends; Palestine is not free until the illegitimate colonialist-satellite state of Israel is completely wiped off the map, and remembered only in history books for its crimes against humanity and the Arab people. Palestine is not free until it is free, from the river to the sea. Even when this bombardment ends, DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE.

If Israel is allowed to exist in its capacity as a settler-colonialist satellite state for the USA, it will commit genocide again. It’s not an if, it’s a when. Israel’s genocidal rhetoric defies humanity, and I fear defies all orders. It exists as an attack dog for the US, and will continue to commit war crimes for as long as it remains.

Heaping the pressure on is vital, at this point, especially if you live in the imperial core. It is our job now to ensure that Israel becomes a pariah state, rejected and sanctioned by the imperialist nations it once worked for. All future weapon shipments must be blocked, all Israeli products boycotted, and our governments made to pay for supporting their genocide. Even when the bombardment stops, continue to cry genocide, and continue to fight for a free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

Stupidest take on Israel i saw was an Israeli spewings stats about how like 75% of israelis are refugees or children of refugees and then proceeded to say:

" We are not Colonizers We are Refugees We are Indigenous"

like logic for a second. I literally beg you not to continue the doublethink.

Like obviously a large number of Israelis aren't colonisers, but that doesn't make you indigenous nor does it mean Israel isn't colonising Palestine.

Like I as a first gen Australian am not a coloniser, but i am living on colonised land where the indigenous are affected by colonisation. The minute i stop recognising that, the minute i start pretending I'm indigenous cause I was born here *cough Pauline Hanson-core cough* I become a coloniser, because not only would i be complicit in colonisation, I'd be actively erasing indigenous history.

y'all really gonna watch israel POISON THE WATER SUPPLY and still try and argue that they're indigenous to the land, huh?

you are deeply unserious people.

[akajustmerry]

I am not answering questions about what my ethnicity is anymore. They're in bio and I have a tag for my face. And if you don't understand what Aboriginal means, google is free. I'm way past done educating people on my or my people's existence and culture, and then having to justify it because people think life doesn't vary outside of the UK/North America, etc.

happy fuck that old man friday. you know im right.

can't believe that i just saw people reblogging a post that said they 'dont think that the fire nation is discriminatory and that the water tribes are' and 'as the most technologically advanced nation (...) they're also the most advanced in thinking' and in regards to sexism and homophobia the water tribe is 'a bit less accepting of these things/ignorant'

why are you even watching atla if you hate indigenous and dark skinned people this much

'most advanced in thinking' about the people who spend the whole series comitting multiple genocides

'not discriminatory' even if we ignore canonical sexism and homophobia in the fn (which we shouldn't) is racism, classism and actual g e n o c i d e not discrimintation now

pinkwashing and purplewashing has really rotted so many people's brains i hate it i hate it

[chuuya-fan-page]

This is your advice to block @chuugly-hate-page because they are not above actual hate speech

I've blocked and reported them but I cannot fucking believe the shit they're pulling, especially with what's happening in the world right now.

Hating a fictional character is one thing. Making shit up about said fictional character is another. But it's all stacking up on them now and they're disgusting. I could make an itemised list of the things they've said and done, but I'm not even going to entertain them anymore because they don't deserve any attention.
