so on one hand, the past 2-3 weeks have been murder---I didn't go to book club, I didn't go to any of the history lectures I signed up for; I went to election judge training and then went home; had exactly one conversation with my best friend. (Which, she called me, so.) Every other moment of every day has been spent working. I'm not....miserable, but if it doesn't let up soon, I am going to be.
on the other hand, when my boss comments on how I seem down, I seem tired, I'm not wearing fun earrings like I usually do---it does take everything in me to relax and not react with defensiveness, because yes, I am exhausted, and showing her this is the best way to communicate that I need her to hire more support. But oh my god I hate it so, so much.

I mostly agree with your MAWS takes but. Superman being descended from colonizers who he's never met and raised on a planet that has only interacted with said colonizers twice, in two failed military excursions like. None of that makes him a colonizer or not-an-immigrant? Colonizing is a material system which benefits the colonizer and he is reaping none of Zod's rewards. He's a colonizer because he's clearly integrated into being white on Earth.
Ignoring the fact that in the scene that introduces the Kryptonian Warrior (which is not confirmed to be Zod btw!! Regardless of the "kneel" line) we see a civilization in flames as Braniac tells the warrior "I have found a new planet for you." implying they've conquered several already, and the leaked (?) concept art refers to Krypton as an empire (with Clark's parents being "one of the leaders" of said empire)...
...I think the very concept of Clark not gaining any material benefit or reaping rewards is in itself, an absolution of colonizer guilt by the narrative. It turns him into the sole exception of planet empire. Sure he didn't personally commit atrocities or have connections to that culture, but he is still a Kryptonian. Whether he wants to or not, he inherits that history. ESPECIALLY if he's a direct descendent of its leaders.
That Kryptonian Warrior wears the House of El symbol on their chest. Not the House of Z/Zod. Clark bears that insignia. Within the context of the show already, it is no longer a symbol for hope. It's likely the symbol of an empire.

yes not to be rude, but you don't come off as a dick in the least. and i also feel like it's entirely reasonable to be nervous of your intentions being skewed when you're on We Skew Intentions dot com
yeah, i know that part of my anxiety about being misinterpreted and given hell for it on tumblr is rational unfortunately 😔 it's why i always do my best to be open minded and not assume the worst and ask people politely for clarification if necessary unless it's obvious they're coming from a place of bad faith (like if they're a terf or something). i can only hope they'll offer me the same consideration.

Because people are sharing their favorite posters they saw at pride yesterday, I thought I might share mine
(Not pictured: the other side of the Gabriel and Belzebub one says, then why can’t we? which might or might not be hinting at the marriage inequality in here)
