a lot of the coverage of the Palestinian genocide is focusing on the US student protests and the narrative is constantly in danger of shifting away from what the protests are actually about and a lot of the language is now speaking in terms of police brutality, silencing of free speech, etc. It's not a radical thing to say that this isn't exactly helpful to the Palestinian cause if the actual reasons for the protests aren't constantly front and center. A lot of people have already made this point. I do not think the genie can necessarily be put back in the bottle with how the protests and the police reaction to them are entering the public consciousness of the USian people. A lot of people are or will become aware of these protests through the lense of these simply being instances of police brutality, and police brutality is a critical issue that many USamericans are very passionate about thus making it difficult to reframe the context of these images of police slamming white professors into pavement towards awareness of Israels decades long illegal occupation and systematic and indiscriminate displacement and murder of Palestinians. What I feel needs to be done is try to reframe these images flooding the internet not *away* from issues of police brutality and homesoil fascism, but in the wider context of imperialist governments taking the lessons they learn oppressing "foreign peoples" and turning them inwards. That police brutality is not disconnected from imperialist mass murder. That the one thing connecting the assaulted USian protester and the trans israeli denied gender affirming care for refusing to serve in the fascist Israeli military and the Palestinian child buried alive for the crime of being Palestinian... the one thing connecting them is that, sooner or later, they are all victims of power. Our rights are granted to us inequitably, unevenly, and are just as quickly stripped away when we do not serve the interests of fascist power. We are either a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian, not the innocent or the guilty but the human being Palestinian, is murdered because she can not be useful to the state while she is still breathing. She can never have the "privilege" of being a tool. I'll say it again: We outside of Palestine who can go to protests, who have families, who are able bodied, who can work, who can keep their head down or speak without immediate retaliation have the "honor" of choosing to be a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian has no choice.

There will always be an armed cop ready to arrest you and kill your brother as long as there is a bomb ready to drop on the heads of Palestinian children. Fascism trickles up and inward.

This post has unlocked several memories for me. I mostly wasn't allowed to go on because I was too young or whatever, but I'd watch my sister on there (and also sneak on for a bit sometimes to look at peoples outfits) and also go and find/make avatars to do nothing with.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

IT'S DOLL PALACE TIME, BABYYYYYYYY

I honestly forgot that Palace wasn't just these until this post, and now I'm remembering times where you'd be like "oops too far" when you'd start seeing less of these and more of the ones pictured in the post above.

This is messing up because I'm remembering not everyone experienced early Internet.

It was definitely less of the creators not knowing how to resolve the issue and moreso just the reality of the Internet during that time!

I truely wish I could find something to accurately show what the speed the Internet moved at during those days: things literally loaded differently: like you would watch images show up in fractions. We didn't really mind it back then because well. That's just what it was like. None of us expected more out of it, really!

EDIT: THIS IS WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH

I feel like The Palace was really groundbreaking for its time: I remember trying to find other sites like it and never really had success back then.

I am EXTREMELY curious as to how many people were ever on Palace at once, however!

If you like Dungeon Meshi, why not try out Heterogeneous Linguistics?

It follows the student of a monster anthropologist tasked with learning about monster culture himself. In doing so he learns that every monster species has their own communication style and own way of overcoming their language barrier.

Like werewolves:

Slimes:

and Kraken!

Heterogeneous Linguistics covers all kinds of monsters, both humanoid and not.

Not only that, it explores the culture of the monster world, untouched by humans, where communities connected by the travelers between them have their own independent ways of living that he must learn as he travels deeper into the country.

An absolutely fascinating manga that I think takes Dungeon Meshi's "what if monsters were animals" and pushes it all the way to "what if monsters were people, even if they had nothing in common with humans".

All told alongside a little half-human half-werewolf girl, who, on account of being a child, perceives these differences as intuitive and can't explain a damn thing.

#Thank you for reminding me that I need to pick up vol 2 from the library #oops hopefully it's still on hold #manga #heterogenia linguistico #Anyway I really enjoy how the volume covers match Dungeon Meshi

I love this chapter title art like wow a wall of elf portraits in which marcille is at the center looking unsure of herself amongst her own kind (in the hot seat, under their scrutiny), the reveal later in the chapter where the other elves are like “ew ur a shitty little half elf our queen thinks half breeds are cringe little freaks and would never even acknowledge your personhood.” even surrounded by other elves marcille is so alienated. what an amazing visual

and then elf senshi is there 💀
