not saying the holocaust wasn't bad. but i need people to understand that it wasn't the only genocide that happened in the same period of world history. not because i want you to pay less attention to holocaust but because i need you to ask why it's the only one we ever talk about. it wasn't the longest occured massacre of a marginalized group, it wasn't the most gruesome, it wasn't the one with the most casualties, it wasn't the first and it wasn't the last one. i need people to think about why we didn't pay much attention to all the other holocausts after WWII that happened simultaniously and were just as horrible. it says so much about media, the news we are fed, and that our empathy is BOUGHT by the same people that keep funding genocides all over the world.

#i didn't grow up in the west-#-so everytime i watch a movie where the characters comically try to avoid saying the word 'nazi' because it's so offensive i'm like.... huh #how are you as an american suggest that being a nazi is the most evil thing a human can be but describe america as the land of the brave?#for many people hitler is the face of evildoing but every single european leader at the time engaged in similar activities #and this is not to say we shouldnt condemn nazis or whatever. god no #i get a lot of asks (some very rude by the way) from people who think i'm an antisemite because i'm... muslim?#dunno how yall think that makes sense but no. i learned about the holocaust from my very muslim mother.#who then gavw me anne frank's diary to read #holocaust has always been a topic we talked about at home. it had a lot tell about the western world #but we didn't have the same 'dont speak of it or you'll get cancelled' type of mindset #i believe that's because it wasn't the only genocide we learned and talked about #it holds so much weight in the western world because you think it's this very out of the blue thing that happened only once in history.#that tells even more about the western world #thoughts #freepalestine #free palestine #free congo #free sudan #free uyghurs #boycott israel

sometimes it hits me in the face that a real person fact about me is that, when I was a child I was a villager. I lived in a village. I walked to the next village over, every day, to go to school

When I say it like that to an american I feel like I have the backstory of a dickensian orphan

#my posts #I was a normal English schoolchild I swear #I just happened to live in a small village #and every village in England is close bc it was all built before cars #ah #the fondness of passing into the next village and seeing the puckeridge sign #always lovingly vandalized to say fuckeridge #but yeah genuinely used to walk to school in the next village over #I’m only in my 20s #Americans act like I am a poor unfortunate orphan #bc everything in America is built fuckoff far from each other #I think I’ve been in subdivisions the size of my village

hey guys I just connected some dots and when I say to you that we owe every 5sos gf since 2011 so much better treatment that doesn’t even cover half of it. it’s one thing to empathise over the internet sure but when it’s a real person less than 2 degrees of separation from you it feels so much more like. this is a human who deserves to be adored and celebrated just as much as a man she’s associated with and it’s like. I know I can’t gift anyone else the experience of empathy in like being a local or whatever but when I tell you that this fandom has inadvertently done so much damage to not only women who happened to know the boys but also to their professional careers and music and things they choose to share with us (or stop sharing with us) please believe me and please join the conversation around the fact that yes we’ve done a really shitty job in the past. but we’re growing up and we can do better I believe that 100%

#a little concerned with how many 5sos partners seem to just. quit music. at some stage #or neglect to advertise their songs #anyway obviously there’s parts of this story I can’t share but. stop assuming or calling them lazy or whatever please #5 seconds of summer #5sos #calum hood #ashton irwin #luke hemmings #michael clifford #celebrities are people #and again. I really do believe in us to do better than when we were teenagers who didn’t know shit #most of us are in our 20s or 30s by now and we can like. think a lot better #anyway I’m gonna check out the music of every 5sos partner I think they deserve that. I might not like it but they deserve some attention #and some fucking income of their own if they made songs #also. male privilege in the music industry is huge and I’m only really starting to notice that. it’s not their fault but let’s not encourag #more of it. seek out women and poc and people born outside of europe or north america in your playlists please #also if I’m flexing my local status I’m really sorry. I just felt like this needed to be said and I happened to get a perspective #that really cemented it ina way that I don’t think anything anyone says on the internet can. but hopefully I can try

all hate to tiktok for taking 'having a space to more openly and actively talk about different cultures' to mean 'cultures are NOT to be shared and we must be vigilantly defensive of our cultures for fear of appropriation, a word that can be applied to any multicultural interaction'. like of course cultural appropriation is a very real problem but ive seen with the access to global multicultural conversation that tiktok provides it's made people TERRIFIED to even interact with cultures other than their own for fear of 'doing it wrong'. like at some point you have to acknowledge that in the real world of the great outdoors, the majority of people are eager to SHARE their cultures. yes there are ignorant questions and biases but also... how do you think those things get unlearnt? i dont understand how deciding that multiculturalism is an elephant in the room instead of a normal thing that should just be talked about and lived with is supposed to benefit anyone? and kids on tiktok are CONVINCED that it's a time bomb of a conversation to have and therefore must be avoided at all costs but like. people generally LOVE their home and their culture and are PROUD of it and want to share it. how have we made it so that showing genuine interest and a desire to understand something so integral to a person's identity is now feared and borderline demonised?

#thinking about this a lot lately. thinking about how fun it was comparing cultural differences in america #thinking of how when i was homesick one thing i found a great comfort in was talking about my home #and how it differed and i really loved and appreciated it when people would ask me about england #in a way that they genuinely just wanted to learn about it and not to take the piss #thinking about how the kitchen at work has chefs from all over europe. we have an irish chef and a spanish chef and an italian chef #and one of the kps is from eastern europe (i havent actually been able to find out where yet) etc and the way they banter with each other #like usually chefs are Problematic bc their humour is VERY abrasive and usually offensive #but this is one instance where it's actually to their benefit bc they're so unafraid to ADDRESS THE FACT THEY HAVE DIFFERENT CULTURES #i feel like the tiktok gen are so petrified of even acknowledging other cultures let alone discussing them #that it's actually sending the conversation backwards. like how does hoarding your culture and pretending it's not there benefit anyone #LET ALONE YOU AND THE CULTURE IN QUESTION. idk it just baffles me a bit that something that started as people on tiktok #genuinely spreading information and talking about the BAD side of this where people DO culturally appropriate or invade spaces that arent #theirs has now become 'for fear of speaking bad about it we will not speak about it at all'. and they'll crucify you if you do. like what #even at uni my best mate is indian and she's too scared to join the sikh society on her own so i regularly go to the events with her #and im typically one of the handful (or the only) white non-sikh there and i get SO welcomed each time #like there's such a genuine excitement to share the culture with someone who is effectively a blank slate #and like yeah ill ask 'dumb' questions or i'll have different experiences (tried a samosa for the first time at one of these events #and the moment that info got out i had like five STRANGERS trying to give me different samosas to try and it was genuinely such #a laugh bc yes they were TEASING me bc 'how have you never had one' but they were also really eager to share MORE as a result)#ugh idk what im saying. i just think it's a shame to watch this happen in real time on the internet #when if people would just go outside and actually TALK to people from other cultures they'd realise 9 times out of 10 the interactions #are actually really really nice for BOTH parties. and actually refusing to talk about this stuff is long-term pretty fucking detrimental #and it also goes the other way!!! like imagine if i - citizen of colonisation motherland herself - didn't interact with other cultures #and didnt ask questions or hear their opinions on whatever shared history we have from THEIR POINT OF VIEW #imagine the kind of shit id be internalising bc i only hung out with other white british people. it wouldnt matter if i was doing it #to be woke or 'respect their culture'. it would still be fucking ignorant. like half my interactions with other cultures #see me as the butt of the joke bc of this like aforementioned irish chef at work VOCALLY slates the english all the time #but it's done in an environment where we're FRIENDS and it's poking fun at each other while still addressing a very serious history. like??#idk if any of this is worded in a way that makes sense but yeah. i have thoughts #cant believe i got inspired to make an actually serious post bc of the CHEFS AT WORK. embarrassing. no one let them see this

Dear TDW,

Actually, I did hire Shih-Na, but furthermore, I come from a country that's... collectivist.

Where I live, if you run a team of agents and one of them is a mole, the blame falls on the leader even if it wasn't your fault. We're expected to die on our own swords.

That's also how it is in California. If a CEO has a rogue in their company they hired, it falls on the CEO. If any attorney enters any evidence, the blame falls on them even if they didn't know it was false and it's the Judge that enters it into evidence.

- Shi Long Lang

#Anonymous #Shi Long Lang #Shih-Na #Ace Attorney #Mod Commentary #This is literally the only thing I can think of to explain it. AA was originally created in Japan #What happened to Lang is a subtle commentary on unfair blame on Managers and CEO's thrown under the bus for something that isn't their faul #Idk how common it is but I have heard it does happen more often than in America

So they followed through with those threats huh

Al-shifa is iirc the biggest hospital in gaza

How long til Israel tweets that they killed a Hamas operative, of course not mentioning the civilian lives offered for that theoretical militant

#palestine #al jazeera #it’s al-shifa and Al-quds I think and I can’t remember which is which at the moment but it also literally is not important #it’s a fucking hospital #you don’t bomb those!#self defence my ass #gnashing my teeth because calling my reps to tell them that I support Palestine will only get them to maybe call for a ceasefire #and calling for a ceasefire and a ceasefire happening are two entirely different things #not like Netanyahu is gonna respect calls for ceasefire when the momentum on his genocide is going so well and America is still behind him #saw videos of the attack against my will :)

watching ppl blatantly lie on the internet. if youre gonna make up a fake backstory and ethnicities to be at least make them CONSISTENT

#goodbye you cant be from england AND china AND iran AND mexico AND canada AND america AND france AND egypt AND japan AND sweden AND #if youre white youre white ???? jfc just fucking own that #if you wanna pretend youre an anime character go girl live your life as long as you remember youre white and nothing you can do can make yo #japanese. ok thanks!#white ppl want to be poc so bad it is an entire epidemic. like girl go love culture! what the fuck happened to racism!#and maybe again we take a step back and ask ourselves. ARE we appropriating culture?????#you might be!#god im so done if youre white youre white. what else do you want lmfao #the overdue asteroid strikes again #i keep thinking abt this conversation i had a couple years ago where i had to explain to someone that just bc you have ancestors from some #where doesnt mean youre that culture. culture is about what you actively participate in. culture is practice. culture is only partially #ancestry. if youve got great grandparents from xyz place and cant name a single cultural tradition they did that you still do then maybe #youre not that! and thats ok! maybe keep your mouth shut LMFAOOOOO

#Not just non-American lives.#I said on here in 2020 if Biden was elected most of those white people at the George Floyd protests would disappear.#Because politics is a game to be won for them.#Team Biden won so Championship parade and go home everybody.#Police killed a record number of people last year.#Covid is still killing and disabling people.#You criticize Biden and people automatically say think about what will happen to People of color and the disabled if Trump wins.#We don't have to.#If you were paying attention you'd know.#So four years later I'll say it again.#White liberals are afraid of Trump because he makes them feel like niggers in America.#It isn't fun when the laws you thought protected you suddenly don't anymore. That's a new feeling for them.#And they will swallow whatever horrible thing Biden does to avoid that feeling.#Because when you vote for the lesser evil you are still voting for evil. Evil they're willing to swallow.#And most of us are tired of our struggles only mattering when middle class white people start catching hell too.#The country is in collapse.#The marginalized folks see it #homelessness is skyrocketing.#And as someone on Twitter just said..the war always comes back home.#They think it matters who is in control when it falls apart.#T. S. Eliot said not with a bang but a whimper.

like that l.a. times article is rightfully being dragged through the mud so maybe my complaining is redundant. but i think if you wrote "maybe barbie would get a nomination if she survived a mass murder plot" you should never be allowed to write again

#the disrespect to not only lily gladstone (who deserves the win) but also more important to the real atrocity that kotfm portrays #like. belittling the actual violence that happened in real life against these women and the men in their community.#jesus fucking christ i have no words for you. over a movie about barbie dolls. you should lose all credibility forever.#avpost #also ill say it i think its stupid that ryan gosling felt the need to apologize for his nomination #when a woman in the same movie literally did get an equivalent nom in best supporting actress....#which is crazy bc idk that america ferrera did her best work in this movie but like good for her. does she not exist to barbie fans?#double also i cant believe theres this much nonsense over a movie that got EIGHT NOMINATIONS being 'snubbed'#and this is just the barbie discourse dont get me started on the discourse around other movies most of which is also stupid #god the consequences of a year where people start moving from big franchise schlock to Caring Abt Film. annoying discourse.#well anyway. theres more important things in the world im just so tired of oscar discourse and i had to rant a little bit.

why did my boromir post get notes i'm scared

#my roommate requested Boromir Tags Rant in the replies of that post so i suppose i will put that here #BASICALLY it all boils down (in my brain) to people hating this dude for like. getting mind controlled. like it was NOT HIS FAULT‼️#local man tries to take and use an object that specifically influences people to want to take and use it; mord at 5 #like ?????#thats the whole POINT of the ring that's the whole reason FRODO had to carry it. he was one of the few people who was super resistant to th #thrall and influence of it #boromir is Just Some Guy (i mean he's like royalty sorta-kinda or whatever but he's just human he doesnt have any special Ring Resistance)#it's NATURAL that he would be tempted #like we SAW what it did to bilbo. we saw him being possessive of it and using it more than he should etc. but when it's bilbo then #apparently people suddenly gain thinking skills and realize that he was being influenced by an outside force #but when it's boromir suddenly its a moral failing???? america explain #plus also like. he was overcome for all of 2 minutes. and as soon as he realized what happened he CRIED bc he was so disgusted w his action #NOT TO MENTION SACRIFICING HIS LIFE FOR MERRY AND PIPPIN #NOT TO MENTION THAT EVEN WHILE INFLUENCED BY EVIL RING 5000 HE STILL ONLY EVER WANTED TO USE THE POWER FOR THE GOOD OF HIS PEOPLE #NOT TO MENTION [gestures at everything to do with faramir]#like. think for 4 seconds. use your brain. would an evil man cry after realizing he was influenced into doing something bad #would an selfish evil man sacrifice his life to save 2 funny hobbits #anyway i like him #also from like an out-of-universe perspective boromir trying to take the ring shows the power of the ring. it shows that it was able to #overcome even this Good Guy Character. you are not supposed to read/see that scene and take away from it ''boromir is bad''#you are supposed to take away from it ''wow the ring is SO POWERFUL that it could even influence such a good guy as boromir''#THATS MY OPINION ANYWAY #OH ALSO WE SAW FRODO GET INFLUENCED BY IT. ngl i forgot that happened for a minute. but EVEN FRODO caved for a bit #theres a reason why boromir's death is framed as a tragedy. it's not a bad guy getting what he deserved #it's a good man who will be missed and who died too soon #do you Really think aragorn would have kissed his forehead if he was evil. come on.#AND LIKE PIPPIN SWEARING FEALTY TO DENETHOR OVER IT??? that's a whole other can of worms but AUGH. pippin..........#Absolutely Agonizing.#can't be bothered to fix the grammar mistakes in this sowwy #my post

I need to find a balance between reading the news and reading the Twitter News that doesn’t result in me wanting to hit myself repeatedly with a sledgehammer

#the racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia/xenophobia is UNBEFUCKINGLIEVABLE #it’s scary it’s actually horrific. scarily overt bigotry runs rampant on twitter #and the thing is people keep telling me to just not look at it. to just not go on twitter and to ignore these people #but i don’t think that’s the right answer. i think only looking at it for a certain amount of time is good #but avoiding it altogether is avoiding a major MAJOR problem in america rn #it feels wrong to just ignore it and avoid it and pretend it isn’t happenin #i need to be aware of what people are saying and what fake stories are gaining popularity and how people deflect the fact that it’s fake #i need to understand these people and their tactics and how they are gaining so much support #ignoring it and pretending it’s not happening isn’t going to work anymore. this has gotten too intense and too widespread to just ignore
