Okay I watched Bound (1996) and the first ten minutes are like. femme with increasingly plunging neckline speaking in the sultriest voice possible repeatedly comes up with stupid excuses to have the butch next door do manual labor in front of her in a filthy tanktop, including a scene where a water pipe starts conspicuously leaking water while juxtaposed with the femme's skirt and legs in the back of a shot. why does this feel like the lesbian equivalent of a straight person pizza-delivery-guy porno.
I am super against light pollution, and have been for decades
but I am also super annoyed by the way it's framed as "without light pollution you can see how beautiful the night sky is" way more prominently than it's framed as "hey, did you ever stop to think of how much energy/resources/money are literally wasted by having so much light shine up into the sky?"
so people get the idea that light pollution can only be remedied by eliminating all night-time light, which would make being outside at night very inconvenient, instead of by making night-time light shine only on the ground where, y'know, the people who need it are
So tumblr staff didn't just delete 1 blog of Med's without warning (fairuzfan), they deleted 2. The first blog was helpgazachildren, which was Med's blog to campaign for donation drives for Hussam who distributes basic necessities on the ground in Ghazzah. They have consistently shown proof of acquisition and distribution of goods as results for every donation drive. There is no reason to kill this blog other than to kill the Palestinian children and adults alike that rely on it for survival. Make no mistake, the actions of this company, Tumblr, and its CEO have real life consequences for the people who use it as a lifeline for survival.
That makes up an entire section of the people trying to survive genocide in Ghazzah. And now with both of Med's blogs gone, there is no recourse.
Tumblr is going to be the reason for the death of several Palestinians. And if I'm right in suspecting they're taking my blog down next, this will happen to the groups served by both Mona, and Hussam, and the families who have contacted me through this website and are relying on my fundraising campaigns to get to safety. This is not a minor issue.
"i wish i wasn't living through a major historical event right now!!"
you've been doing that all your life. every day on this planet is a major historical event. the reason it feels more significant is because you're now an adult who knows things about the world. are you yearning for peace? or are you yearning for ignorance that there wasn't peace to begin with
