Pavitr my boy my king I'm so sorry an ugly ass bitch would ever say anything like this about you 😭
Yeah I'm turning off reblogs for this one lmao. Even if it's a troll or very shittily attempted satire it doesn't change that it's not funny, and that for every fake that thinks it is, there's real people who legitimately feel this way about brown characters and dont recognize poorly done "satire" when they see it. I have seen way too many white-casted Kidas and anime characters.

"the average American doesn't have wealth to hoard or have the power to kill anyone, you're angry at the wrong people."
Americans pulled $81 million dollars out of their collective asses for a rich person who didn't need that money for ANYTHING. not for ads, not ballot access, not housing or food or to escape genocide or to send it back to her family, nothing. $81 million just cuz she asked for it and they like her.
That's money Americans had sitting around and available to spend the moment that Kamala stepped into the light.
$81 million. That's more than the GDP of some countries and Americans were just sitting on it. Not even all Americans either, just the ones who support Kamala.
And that was in one day, that's not talking about how much she's been able to raise since then "to beat Trump" whatever the fuck that means does he take electoral damage per dollar she raises, like what's the stretch we're making for that to make sense?
The rest of the world sees you and we are not falling for your bullshit.
Take accountability, at least so we can all stop pretending you're an ally when you're a fascist.
You are enabling fascism while simultaneously making up every excuse possible not to help Palestine or Sudan or even natives within the USA.
No amount of trying to pretend that you only support Kamala cuz she's your only choice will erase the fact that when given the option to tangibly help the global community you claim to care about, you refuse every single time.
"I'm not a politician what am I supposed to do" "you just want trump" "what if they're a scammer"
What lazy and disingenuous ways to pretend you're powerless to do anything.
"that's not how things work"
THEN MAKE THEM WORK DIFFERENT
‼️‼️‼️
"that's not how elections work" gets translated to me as: "fighting fascism isn't efficient or systemically possible under the system we have now (fascism)"
AND DUH???!!!!?!?!? Are you really gonna let that fact stop you from trying?!! How do you plan on dismantling fascism without actually opposing it???
I'm done. I'm over it. There is genuinely nothing to be gained. The wool has been pulled back and it's revealed the average American is either a fucking coward or a white supremacist.
Actual hell on earth for me to be stuck here with y'all.

Kicking an even bigger hornets nest than i did with that Viserys post but I think the reason I'm not as angry as other people seem to be with HOTDs adaptational choices and can kind of just enjoy the show (although i have my criticisms) is that after reading and rereading the books i think the adaptation is magnifying underlying weaknesses already present in GRRMs writing.
Like "oh why does the show make Criston Cole half dornish and then cast him as an angry incel conservative". bro. The books have the Arianne Martell nipple chapter. The book with the quote "mens lives have meaning not their deaths" killed off the second most important woman in the country 15 years ago and 80 characters have reflected on how annoying and sickly she was but it was kinda sad that she died I guess. We get like 4 sentences where we find out her brothers cared about her and she laughed at a fart joke.
In all fairness to the HOTD writers room they are nawt adapting flawless source material.

it is incredibly frustrating to see the non-response from westerners to what is arguably the worst natural disaster in recent memory. when the ukraine-russia war broke out, it was on everyone's blogs. everyone--at least on my dash--was trying to spread awareness of the humanitarian crisis. but now?
fucking crickets.
absolutely nothing.
this earthquake has already claimed 20k confirmed lives. it has only been 5 days. most wrecks have not been excavated yet.
we need all the help we can get, but not a single fucking person is doing anything to help spread the message. people who proudly put the ukrainian flag in their display names or in their bios are nowhere to be seen now. the influencers youtubers and tiktok micro-celebrities who shared donation posts and ukrainian refugee testimonials daily are dead silent now. why? why do you only care when the people dying are somewhat like you? do we need to be whiter to deserve your attention? or more christian? do we not deserve your energy as is? are we, turks and syrians, not humans?
im so fucking sorry if donation posts don't fit your blog's aesthetic or if the news are just so fucking draining for you. every single one of you motherfuckers living in the west should be ashamed of yourselves for how differently you are treating us versus how you treated ukrainians when the war broke out.
if this happened in any western country you'd all be making infographics on how to donate or help.
right now the only reason why people on my dash are devastated is because the rhythm guitarist from my chemical romance had a haircut.
all of you need to be doing better.
do better.

its crazy how coming into clinical social work, i really just thought I was up against systems and cycles of trauma....but it turns out i'm up against those two things AND other therapists. the amount of work spent correcting mistakes from other clinicians--whether with clients or during the classroom--is fucking crazy.
i totally get we're all on different journeys in terms of being clinicians. but it is insane finding out day after day of therapists and clinicians saying the worst things ever to clients. demeaning them, telling them "it's all in their head", the racism and the ableism and harm that is caused. like no fucking wonder people are afraid to seek therapy (on top of the accessibility issues). while i'm a little biased and think that at the very least clinical social work training focuses on viewing people within their environments (so not engaging in the medical/individualist models of practice that a lot of counseling programs focus on), that doesn't mean it gives every person the skills to be an effective therapist. i'm also not saying i'm the best clinician ever--I'm literally in training--but boy! it is jarring seeing how some of my peers interact in class and wondering...is that how you are with your clients??
my social work program at the very least also has a focus on anti-racism, but i know students from other programs and some of them don't even mention racism AT ALL and focus entirely on diagnosing people "correctly", or finding the perfect form of therapy to use on a client. but man, what none of these programs teach are basic life skills. wanting to be a clinician isn't enough, especially considering that an inhumane amount of people in my program are 1. so nervous about making mistakes that they lose scope of their practice 2. have so much internalized racism/white guilt to work thru 3. or they have absolutely no listening skills.
again, im not trying to make it seem like I am the number 1 clinician in the world ever. I don't even have a psych background or bachelor's in social work. my reasons for going into social work are quite selfish (I want a job that is very flexible, easily transferable, and can be done in different contexts), and the helping people part is just a plus. i'm just saying it's very jarring seeing other people in training and realizing they too are working with clients. i have conversation after conversation about these issues with other BIPOC/queer/marginalized clinicians, so I know i'm not the only person worried about some of the people that will be out of this program in a few years practicing on their own or with vulnerable populations.

tall shadows line of "she was only a kittypet" kinda reminds me of the line "they were only slaves" from the prince of egypt.
What kills me about it is that like, at that point in the movie, the Pharoah Is Bad. Him saying that a billion babies where fed to crocodiles is A Bad Thing. It's the point where Moses realizes he can't be part of the royal family without being complicit.
But Tall Shadow says "calm down, Bumble was less than human anyway" and Gray Wing nods along (complete with the jiggly clicking noise that comes with shaking a can of spraypaint) and this is an example of them being reasonable. Level-headed, even, not getting swept away by the passion of the angry mob.
There are so many levels to how fucked up the Bumble Debacle is that you can't explore every floor all at once. It is an onion. It has layers.

ah yes, 20th century films, famous for their lack of propaganda. Surely old movies provide an accurate and realistic view into the average life of a contemporary USAmerican. They would never use stereotypes or idealize their settings to push certain ideas the creators had as to what USAmericans should look, speak, or act like. Now then, time to sit down and marathon some of my favorite classic films: Birth of a Nation, Casablanca, Red Dawn, and Top Gun.

at the risk of sounding incredibly cheesy… tumblr has genuinely played such a huge part in helping me grow into my multicultural identity. growing up in the us, not being religious, just generally not feeling incentivized to connect w my arab roots—all of it has contributed to me being insulated from my iraqi side for a very long time. now it’s so so different. ever since my trip, something has fundamentally changed. and seeing the people on tumblr genuinely care for palestine has also touched me so deeply. volunteering at a refugee center for middle eastern refugees was the best decision i ever made. i’m just so glad to have my biochemical makeup & to be iraqi. like i feel so fortunate. my schedule is busy but i cannot wait to buy so many history books about iraq and to just dive in. i am the luckiest girl alive
