Hi I know and have seen that you are making sure to keep people aware of what is going on in Israel and Palestine, and I just wanted to say thank you, it is easy to encounter a situation in which people feel that there is nothing more they can do, so they just ignore it and push it to the back of their mind to feel better. So I just wanted to thank you keeping in upfront and evident. 1/2

2/2 I just wanted to share with you and the others this trailer I found. Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Braff and Evelyne Brochu in a love triangle that doesn't seem super toxic. I can see where it's going to go but small steps and all that. French girl Official Trailer on youtube

Ah, thank you. It just feels there should be SO much more of an outcry and if people are quiet because they don't know enough or if they think the situation is too complicated then I can at least show objectively terrible things to cut through that. Because children shouldn't be killed. Journalists, hospitals, civilians shouldn't be attacked. There's no justification to starve a population. No matter how little people know of the situation, no matter what the narrative is from our government and media, those things are true. The best option for the Israeli hostages is a ceasefire and both Israel and the US have concluded Hamas will continue to exist after this, so there's literally no reason this violence should be continuing even if you think catastrophic levels of collateral loss are acceptable for October 7th (which... you shouldn't).

I'm also hoping I can convey just how dark and vicious this all has been and how it's contributing to creating generational levels of trauma and hate. The racism and disregard for brown lives needed to allow this are so apparent and so present in the West, it's really shifting whole worldviews. It isn't only seeing these atrocities, it's the West's support and tacit allowance that's really shaken people. Americans especially who want to ignore it should be ashamed already, but they should be more active if only out of self-preservation, it's going to bounce back, one way or another.

Okay, subject change.

Lol, when I first skimmed your second ask, I misread that as Zac Efron and was like, well him and Vanessa Hudgens in a movie, of course that's going to be the winning couple! But Braff, oh.

So I went and watched the trailer (after first wondering what a toxic love triangle is, exactly) and it feels like a very small step indeed!

It seems very similar to the '90s and '00s romcoms, you got your hapless Relatable loser of a lead with his perfect gf and then suddenly her perfect ex but of course hapless Relatable loser "wins" because the gf loves him, dammit.

I know various romcoms have done that, but I feel like at least a few storylines, movies and TV, have had the ex be a woman?

I suppose it's not inherently bad to be so old-fashioned or have the woman lose the love triangle but it's just... you know. The framing and predictability and going this particular way, it feels as if the whole movie is going to be the ex being better, him being jealous over it, and the gf reassuring him over it.

But that's just the trailer, and who knows, maybe they'll subvert it. I did laugh at these comments:
