WARNING FOR POTENTIAL SPOILERS IDK 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

The new civil war movie is genuinely terrifying. You go into this movie thinking its gonna be some random cool dystopian film and then you watch it and you're like "...Jesus Christ. This isn't that different from current America." Even one of the scenes immediately stressed me out and made me feel like I was really living it. The chaos, the brutality, the screaming, the fighting. That was all current America. Really the only difference was all the dead bodies and abandoned cities. And also, just to mention, the movie reminded me a lot of the war in Gaza right now and the genocide happening, and if you see this movie and DONT support Palestinians even though this is a fraction of what they're going through.....are you okay? Anyway back to the movie itself. This movie actually scared me. The emotions are so raw and the photographs and imagery are so real it feels like you're right in the war with them, especially when you realize something like this isn't too far off if things don't change soon. Anyway that was my take and I loved this movie!!

#civil war 2024 #civil war #alex garland #dystopia #america #we are fucked #lowkey #kind of a horror movie tbh #are we okay #the government needs to do better #im scared tbh #but whatever

Tornados...in California?

So, I meant to make a post about this the day it happened, but you know...college.

Anyways, here's the story. Two nights ago, I was eating dinner while watching TV when an emergency weather alert popped up...for tornadoes.

...tornadoes...in Southern California...

Weird, right? At the time, when my aunt asked me what the TV was saying, I responded: "I think the Californian and Texan weather channels have their reports mixed up."

Don't misunderstand me. Tornadoes can occur in California. We get approximately eleven of them a year; most of them in the Central Valley. It's just...for a state that gets more earthquakes than rainy days, tornadoes tend to be one of the last things people think of when they hear about natural disasters occurring in California.

But then again, so was rain. So, I guess anything is on the table at this point.

Anyways, I'll be on spring break in two weeks, so I'll (hopefully) be able to post a bunch before starting school again. I would really love to post about the U.N's Climate Change report, but I'm also afraid to because I know I'll become incredibly depressed by reading it...so, we'll see how it goes.

"Years of fighting. Bots and Cons falling left and right. Dying on our behalf. No more. We settle this now, Megatron." "Just the two of us then? To the death? Ahh, brings me back to the pits all those centuries ago. Very well then, today will be the day the great Optimus Prime finally falls by my hand." "Only one of us is walking away from this rock functional, old friend. It will not be you."

~ Audio from Optimus Prime's remains at the sight of his final confrontation with Megatron that ended the Great War. circa 2003.

Audio encoded by Soundwave, Memory bank recovered by Ratchet

#transformers #maccadam #transformers fan design #optimus prime #megatron #tf reconstruction #had to design them bc i have such a clear idea for an illustration i wanna do for my au and needed ref for when i get around to it #i think their history is Interesting and Cool in this universe #like its standard fair kinda except at one point they were both freedom fighters on the same side against cybertron's oppressive government #(after optimus initially served as a propagandized captain america figure against the growing uprising)#but disagreement's in how to handle everything once cybertron was liberated #(and decepticon generals like starscream and shockwave whispering into megatron's audio processors over the years)#lead to escalations and eventually all-out civil war which spread across the sector and the galaxy #i'm thinking the initial disagreement was like. optimus wanted freedom and self determination free from any corrupt governing body #with the belief that reestablishing the council would only lead to further corruption and therefore another uprising #while megatron at first wanted a better government that actually looked after the people it was supposed to provide for #but that got distorted from ''we need what's best for cybertron'' to ''I'M what's best for cybertron'' over time #idk if that's all that revolutionary or unique but it was what felt right to me

you know, seeing how useless my government is (they are still delivering the money from the curse coalition agreement), next to the amazing mass organization by the people who are delivering food, medications, clothing and other necessities, rescuing people and pets, organizing entertainment for kids and teen, building networks of social workers and therapist to help people and finding housing to displaced people...

If I wasn't an anarchist before... this is kinda proving my point of communities based governments.

#jumblr #israel #anarchism #ישראל #ישראבלר #this is a chaos that is slowly getting a shape and I adore it #they got so much stuff that they don't know what to do with it #I saw at least 3 massive shipments organized to support Bedouin because our government suck ass #one kitchen made so much food they are looking for more people to take it #there are kitchens for people with special dietary needs #people are assisting total strangers within hospitals #it of course terrible that the government we pay money to do it is not doing it #but it is proving that there is nothing better than a well organized driven community when it comes to support it's most vulnerable

I don’t understand how politicians can live in a country and just. Be so removed from important issues. Be so removed from what people want.

#I don’t think ‘everyone gets treated with basic decency and rights’ is a controversial opinion.#I don’t understand the pushback. I just don’t.#‘there’s not enough money’ …there isn’t??? I wonder about that #money does seem to come in magically when it’s suddenly needed #look I’ll delete this later it’s just. I really think the government structure needs to change.#I don’t know what would actually be better though. so if you don’t know what’s feasibly better. You have to work with what you’ve got #but it’s just tiring. I’ve always felt like we just do everything we do to not offend the usa. can’t we grow a spine???#I know I’m probably way oversimplifying a lot of things. but it’s how I feel at least.

My DID-having ass is experiencing so much world-envy for the fictional country of Vaugarde I'm going to throw up

#Didn't realize how much I needed a society built around the concepts if change and reinvention but holy shit I do. I need it so bad.#The legally normal concept of being given multiple names to transition between or change to...#the societally accepted and easy ways to craft a new body...#the traditions built around reinvention and throwing away aspects of your old life that you wish to discard #that also acknowledge that reinvention involves the destruction of something else. & the grief from yourself or others that comes with that #literally have never resonated with anything to this level and I am YEARNING #like. my life would literally be so much easier in that society #the fact Vaugarde also highly values queerness of all kinds only helps #going insane over this world-building tbh konda wanna overthrow my government & rebuild my country in its image tbh #I am Decidedly Not Normal about this fake country #no spoilers if you respond to this btw. Not done with the game #In Stars And Time #hi dev I know you have a tumblr so if you see this: I love you #thank you for creating this world and letting me have a peek into it #they say we can't build a better world if we can't imagine what that world would look like and #now i can. I know what my ideal world looks like.#textpost

99% of conversations on anarchism about here are hampered by people having no clue what anarchists are talking about when they refer to "the state", including, it seems, the anarchists themselves.

#juney.txt #yeah i'm some sort of ancom because i have the worst takes imaginable in all respects #but wow you guys need to like #learn the basics of what you are even talking about #read some books or hell even watch some fuckin bread tubers #watch some old thought slime videos or whatever #literally anything would be better than the nothing that currently occupies your heads #and also all the cool commies who atleast as a baseline seem to actually have reading required to call yourself one of them #or at the least are better at hiding if their politics are purely vibes-based #would help if you could approach this conversation on the anarchists term's even just a little #rather than seeing them say ''we need to abolish the entity through which the few enforce their will on the many by means of violence''#and replying ''okay but this means all of society would collapse into an unorganized mess where everyone just jacks off all day''#''how would manufacturing happen without a government''#gee you tell me. how is your society gonna run once the state withers away #god that's really what gets me. we have ostensibly incredibly similar goals #a stateless classless moneyless society #but then when anarchists talk about having a stateless classless society half of y'all are like #''wuh?? but how would that work?!?!''#like are you a communist or not.#do you even believe communism is possible?#i could understand criticisms about anarchist methods to achieving those ends. those are honestly pretty fuckin valid in a lot of places #but questioning the ends in and of themselves?!#do you think we will ever achieve communism literally ever #or are we just gonna have a socialist worker state that never completes its transition. forever.#because that would be kinda sad #give the socialist worker state estrogen. she needs it.

i do not feel remorse for white americans. i don't care. you are the ones that are benefitting off of our suffering, so i will not show you the respect you claim to deserve.

#i don't care how much you say “the system is rigged” or “our government is bad”#that is YOUR problem. we are suffering a genocide right now. we do not need to hear your excuses #do better

Do not stop talking about Palestine. Do not forget about Palestine. This is not a battle of religion and I do not think it should be treated as such. From the river to the sea, they will be free 🇵🇸

Disclaimer: I am not an expert. I am just some guy in the US. I am not a direct source of information. Please listen to Palestinians. Please help them directly. Please help with protests if your country is supplying Israel with weapons like the US.

#but wait there's more #it may take a while for me to gather my thoughts so not immediately #I have so many thoughts specially about holy land experience type shit #my personal belief is that Palestinians should be given back their land #Israel will become a part of Palestine and would receive full citizenship #and all of them will be treated as equals #Aid will go to Palestinians as the country and rebuilt as much as it can be after so much tragedy #Since the idea of Israel was to have a protective Jewish state #I think the better option would be for the world to agree collectively to be a place for refugees #if there's another situation like the holocaust #all refugees should be given that opportunity to escape #there's so many conspiracies against Jewish people which is why I think it needs to be declared by countries to protect any Jewish person #that is fleeing antisemitism in their current country #it doesn't need to be a Jewish state especially with so many Jewish people being pro-Palestine #and living outside of Israel #I know people currently living in Israel and I want them to be safe #And they will be if their government just lets Palestinians live #but yea later on I'll talk about the holy land experience thing I'm pissed about rn #I feel like I haven't said enough on the blog. I have terrible OCD where I'll ruminate about this until I panic #I do not want to be a source of that for others so I encourage you to educate yourself without ruminating #It does not help Palestine to shame yourself and others for not being able to do a specific thing #So instead I ask you to look it up when you are able to and do what you can #I usually do the daily clicker and I wanted to join my university's protests but couldn't #since I was the only one working my job which is monitoring the queer safe space on campus #and I didn't want to close that area just in case it was need by protesters or queer students #just found out today ppl at my school will be expelled if caught so that's why it's at the front of my mind rn

I hate living in this world.

#misc #negativity tw #first off i had an argument with a colleague at work #we had to move places for the millionth time in this stupid open space #which already annoyed me #but this guy came at bargained like he always do while i said nothing because it's not like we chooae #and he always does that for actual work because and idk at first i made a snarky comment about now that he got what he wanted he better be #ready to work instead of hiding when somebody ask him to do his job #and he told me he didn't understand the remark #and my hot temper that makes me snap every five years took over #i bet he has by now complaining aboutme like he does about everything #anyway i take hours to calm down (not calm after 4 hours)#I'm also pissed at me cause i can't get emotional without shaking stupidly which makes me look like an hysterical person (i mean sadly i am)#also if there has to have an explanation once my anger is gone tomorrow i will be back on social anxiety mode which is gonna make it worse #all of this reminded me that i need to find a new job for ten thousand reasons #but unfortunately all employers are shit and actually i don't even know what i want to do #and as usual i have no energy for anything because i am still a major piece of shit #then i wanted to relax #made the mistake to open Instagram because I'm also stupid #and i know i don't often talk about politics and stuff #but it's really draining me #i barely or read news just enough to be aware #and honestly its exhausting but I dont want to complain cause Im in a privileged position where i have the chance to be able to 'shut off'#and yes my country and especially this government is sickening me #and like its people too #and also insta is full of pride posts #and i am stupid to read the homophobic and transphobic comments #and genuinely these people alongside racist and islamophobic people really scare the hell out of me #hopefully i don't engage but i shouldn't read anything at all tbh #speaking of pride im spiralling because even tho i kinda identify as aro i feel like a freak and i have nobody to tell me im not

#it's a strange thing to work in a store that never sleeps. like living in an organism. like forcing its blood to flow #youre there an not. mostly out of sight and out of mind. blinking into existence when something is needed #or at least thats how it is when you work on the back end. and its an oddly gendered workplace when i go in #before the sun is up. before the doors are unlocked. men and boys unload the trucks and sort the packages. women sort the clothing packages #so they do that on purpose? do applicates sort themselves? why do only women work in style?#i dunno. it feels like my 1st real job. its very strange bc there are alloted times and clocking in and out and forced breaks. ive never had #that. ive only had: every moment that youre not working is a waste of time. i worked 10 hour days 6 days a week while getting paid part time #so it's weird. its nice to feel useful. its nice to have my time filled with things to do. but its also like going to school k-12 bc its #like: oh god i gotta get up at 3am so i can go to work. so i dunno. we'll see how i feel after a full week. its also sorta physically #exhausting and maybe i should have said 32hrs instead of 40 so i can actually work on some stuff this summer but i guess we'll see #right now getting a government job sounds better than going back to school but i dunno. i dunno #ill have to start applying in earnest. ay ay ay. what a mess #unrelated

All I want for Christmas...

Merry Christmas!!!

I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday and got what you wanted this year!!!

You know what I wished for?

I wished for the major governments and corporations that contribute the most to climate change to have a change of heart because they realized that the way that they're do things is hurting a lot of people and the planet, so they go from destroying the environment to caring for it. You know, Ebenezer Scrooge, a Christmas Carol style.

.

I didn't get what I wanted...

.

Oh well, there's always next year, I guess? :')

#christmas #climate crisis #climate change #the government needs to do better #seriously #activism #climate activism #global warming #co2 emissions #science #fyp

you can read an andy weir novel that features your area of expertise. but watch out

#me reading the martian: physics and botany. i don't know anything about these! what fun i am having!#me reading project hail mary: THATS NOT HOW MEMORY WORKS. THATS NOT HOW LANGUAGE WORKS #not that i am even an 'expert' but still #[man gripping sink voice] i don't need interesting linguistic worldbuilding in every book i read. i don't. i do not #books #my posts #talking to my scientist friends about the martian they were so annoyed by the science. whereas i was having a grand old time #the thing that annoyed me most about the martian was how all these world governments banded together to spend billions #of dollars just to rescue one measly astronaut? there's asking me to suspend disbelief and then there's whatever that was.#this book also features a lot of international cooperation at an unrealistic scale but it has a better excuse #so i'll allow it #i'm still having fun i do find his books eminently readable i just. sir please talk to one (1) conlanger i'm begging you #there are aspects where i'm like okay i can see how you needed to fudge that to get anywhere with your plot #but there are other aspects where i'm like hey you actually could have made this part less inaccurate. and didn't for no reason. boo!

Olive’s girl rant 👉👈😵‍💫

So like idk abt y’all but bottom surgery has been on my mind a lot recently. I find that when I get into a bad mental space my dysphoria like gets much more in my face if that makes sense.

Like I’m not even sure where I stand on wanting it, like it’s terrifying and like I don’t think I could handle it but also like it’s the end goal of transitioning for me. I think it is at least, I’m still trying to figure out my next step in my transition and like what I need to get there.

Idk like I think I’m just overwhelmed with life and my brain is kinda putting more stuff on top of it.
