there is no way to demand power that does not read as 'violent' to those who already have power and enforce it with violence. there is no way to ask nicely for the wealthy to give up their wealth, for the cops to get their boots off necks, for the government to stop deporting people.

Have you heard of GPN? Just saw this here

free maja here actually refers to the non-binary anti fascist activist Maja T., a german citizen who has been held in hungarian prison for almost two years now. they are currently on a hunger strike to protest the conditions and treatment they're experiencing in prison.

there is very little talk about this case outside german language media and anti fascist circles, but it's a really important case for antifas across europe and the world, so it's worth looking into!

not perfect but here's one thing i found about it in english:

saying ao3 needs to censor certain content is like saying a museum can't have still life art that includes strawberries because you don't like them.

these are not real strawberries. you do not have to, and in fact cannot, eat them. no one with a strawberry allergy will be harmed by looking at them. no migrant workers were exploited in the picking of these strawberries. there were no questionable farming practices or negative environmental impacts from growing or transporting them.

because - and i cannot stress this enough - they are not real strawberries.

if you don't like strawberries, you don't have to look at the paintings. in fact, you can get a map of the museum that lists what works are in what rooms and just. not go in there. if you see one by mistake, you can look away. just keep walking. there's plenty of other stuff to see.

yes, real strawberries can cause real quantifiable harm to real people.

but again. these are not real strawberries.

you may have whatever feelings you like about strawberries, and so can i. you can draw and write about whatever fruit floats your boat, and so can i, even if that happens to be strawberries. and we can hang our art side by side in the same gallery, provided you understand that my strawberries are not about you (and your kumquats are, shocker, not about me) and that - and this is true - neither are real.

and when the fascists break down the doors and grab all the strawberry paintings and heap them in the street and set them on fire, please know that they are coming for your kumquats next.

so if you want a place where you can show off your beautiful kumquat art safely, you're gonna have to tolerate having some strawberries in the next room.

and that's okay. because the strawberries aren't real.

"Rule Of Kings" is the most generic high-fantasy novel you could possibly get from this list. Probably not

"Heart Of Queens" is about a new duchess taking her mother's role as queen who doesn't realize Nobless Oblige isn't intended to be taken seriously. Might have a sapphic romance subplot. Sure, why not?

"Shadow & Sword & Wayward Stone" this is a gritty epic fantasy adventure that gets really popular on TikTok and sold in Target. Probably not

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

happy juneteenth but dont forget that prisoners are legally allowed to be subject to slave labor and also black people are disproportionately arrested and subjected to that legality. happy juneteenth but slavery still lives in america. america is still dependant on slave labor.

Really enjoy the implication that Aperture Science Laboratories is just Chell's Smart Home

woag. i'm sure this character who i've never heard of before in my life would do completely ethical things to me in my Smart Home and that there are not two games entirely based around why this is a bad idea

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

I love how you can see the exact moment the adult goes from panic and worry to laughing at such a goofy situation
