poetry and musical theater get similar accusations leveled at them in terms of not being realistic, i.e. “no one fucking talks like that” or “people don’t randomly burst into song in real life” and sometimes i just want to take people by the shoulders and say. there are forms of art that are not aiming for perfect realism. are you capable of handling that
@Shepherds4Good: Palestinian children in Gaza hold a press conference outside Al Shifa hospital, speaking English so the world cannot pretend not to understand them: “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace… we want to live as the other children live.”
the fact that the report [ file available at the bottom of this page ] listing every person who has been killed in palestine since oct 7th is over 210 pages long is fucking insane. the first of the 88 names are from one family. after that, the following 72 are from one family. one family. i am asking you from the bottom of my heart, do not become desensitized to these numbers. 7,028 killed. 2,913 of them children. thousands missing under the rubble. do not ever let these numbers be anything but shocking and disturbing to you.
people cosplaying on public transit are the backbone of our society and i am SO serious. there is no greater omen of good fortune than seeing hatsune miku on the bus.
the palestinian film institute and the palestine film platform are screening 'unprovoked narratives' — a program of 12 films celebrating the beauty of Gaza, its people, its struggle and its survival
the films will be available to watch for free through october 21st
thinking about how nadja defends nandor in a way that i don’t think we’ve seen with her & anyone else - probably because she knows he’s so sensitive + prone to depression. i feel like, on some level, that’s why she’s so angry with guillermo - she knows how much his betrayal will hurt nandor. and she fucking hates when people hurt nandor. like, she would obviously do anything for laszlo, but nandor has a fragility that laszlo doesn’t…and she’s aware of that
