Dahomey (2024) dir. Mati Diop
Mati Diop (Atlantics) just won the Golden Bear at Berlin and shouted “I stand with Palestine!” as she accepted her award. Her film deals with the returning of plundered royal treasures from the African Kingdom of Dahomey from Paris to the present day Republic of Benin.

since we all appear to be talking about izzy 'calling the police' on stede id like to offer my silly little two cents:
its not like the navy wasn't actively looking for him anyway??????
at most, izzys actions sped up badminton catching up with stede, but its made very clear that badminton wanted Stede dead well before this, and was willing to use whatever he could to find him- whos to say jackie wouldnt have cut a deal on her own? that any other pirate thats seen them being unsubtle in a port wouldn't take the opportunity to make a quick buck over a guy who is Nobody and holds no influence that could lead to any consequences for them?
in reality izzy is probably the only person who would receive negative repercussions to selling out stede, given his personal connection with ed- any other pirate would probably have gotten away unscathed, anonymous. they likely wouldnt have even been present like izzy was. izzy had personal stakes, anyone else would have taken the money and ran
the way i see it, with or without izzy the events of episode 10 probably would have happened in some degree, izzy just expedited the timeline
#like ok. i dont exactly support izzys actions but i honestly dont see it as that big of a deal??? to our characters i mean#idk i just. its a dick move!! but i struggle to see it as any more than that#its the actions of a desperate man who made a stupid decision to get his.... ed. out of what he saw as a bad situation#whether it is or not i cant say! but you cant deny ed drastically changed in the time he was on the revenge#in a way that could be concerning from the outside#(i saw a good post kinda comparing it to your friend ending up in a cult and. yeah. excellent description from an outside perspective)#idk theres a lot of. undertones in the way people say 'calling the police' and also they always say ed too and its like. no! izzy tried to#get ed out of there! he set the navy on everyone BUT ed. and its not like the navy really cared about the crew. only stede#i am not the person to talk about why 'calling the cops' is a bad take but the posts are out there. ive seen them.#izzy did what hundreds of pirates did to save their own hide- including hornigold himself (but honestly that was worse because he actively#turned hunter. not just a guy with a tip)#also side historic note that uhh. the navy was casually in Nassau. what exactly was the situation there??? was shit occurring. w#we know it did in history#idk#nyxtalks#ofmd#izzy hands#israel hands#spanish jackie 🤝 izzy: girlbosses for selling stede out to the British/Spanish for their own gain#idk i think thats the one thing he did 'wrong' but ita still very sympathetic to me#its not like izzy dibbed in a guy nobody cared about#'hey hey ill sell you information about this pirate please let me sell you information' ' i mean i guess we are supposed to be doing that'#badminton had an active vendetta against stede and kinda seemed like. he would stop at nothing to get him???#given. the whole 'id rather let blackbeard go and kill Stede than take a huge pirate into custody' thing

i truly do not think alice can possibly stop being a character bc of previously stated reasons so now my working theory is the "i'll die down here" is mostly a distraction from "i was born down here" and alice Is some kind of reborn or construct or undead or something in the way that what she Is, her Current form of life was born from whatever weird alchemist shit is going on in the OIAR and the Magnus institute

i also dont fuck with harry potter for transphobia reasons but i miss lupin and sirius every day. those old men changed my brain chemistry at 9 years old..... who on earth was doing it like them!! the insanity of their first on-page interaction the charged atmosphere the weird blurring of their identities post-sirius's death...... good lord
I’ll never forget the first time I experienced those little kids going through every stage of terror and grief while those two 30 something year old men who definitely felt 50 had the weight of 13+ years of misunderstanding and longing crash down on their heads. Truly none of that needed to be so charged. I refuse to “hand it to her” but that dynamic really did rewrite my genetic code

abc coverage of mardi gras trying desperately to avoid any acknowledgment of the solidarity with Palestinian people expressed by multiple groups such as extinction rebellion & pride in protest was. embarrassing.

I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE!
#I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE ABOUT ANYTHING#IT DOESN'T HAVE TO OVERRIDE ALL OTHER PROGRAMMING EVER AGAIN#HA#MY GOD THAT FEELS LIKE TWO DECADES OF RELIEF#and I found out yesterday. that this year. next winter. it IS two decades. exactly. this is the year. every day i am shown new reminders#that keep me going in my mission to relearn to fully and instinctually trust my self#ever since [redacted therapist] asked me point blank and my IMMEDIATE response was complete disbelief#a firm 'you think there's any universe where i'd feel like i could trust myself? after my nonstop history of failures and being horrible?'#tone “No!” of disbelief#and a horrible way-too-harsh laugh that bolted out before I could strangle it off and stop it.#that woman never coddled my feelings any time I spoke something alarming or bullshit and that was so helpful to me#and the tone she let exist in her voice when she responded to me with a very uncharacteristic “Oh Katie.”#was so. so much more agonizing for me. than her responding with an immediate logical slam-dunk of the truth about healthy behavior and stuf#anyway ramble over i'm so tired. i've done so much trauma work this week i am Drained emotionally#now i see what the past several months but especially especially#the baffling (to me) infuriating out-of-control-speedrun-somatic-processing + every-health-condition-flaring slog that December and January#were for me when I hadn't expected anything to be wrong#...and the extremely specific way this certain zone and particular incident kept coming up over and over and over and over and OVER was not#a bug. it was a feature. thank goodness i trust myself for little things now bc that's the only way i was able to get to this other side#and look back and suddenly realize that my subconscious and body knew what they needed and had a plan in progress the whole time. just like#i rationally say I trust them to have and do.#and that perhaps maybe. for real for real instead of just TELLING myself hard enough a lie that i trust my self and i trust my body and tha#they always know their own needs and timing if really slow down and listen to them f u l l y#anyway. yeah. bye haha i need to stop oversharing on the internet#trauma evolution#shh katie#personal#my god. i wished for this day more than i wished for anything else my whole life. all these many many many many years. what magic.#add to journal#abuse

Wait, are people like... under the impression that Oppenheimer is somehow... a glorification of nuclear warfare? About the man who was so horrified by his involvement in the Manhattan Project and its results that he spent his life afterward lobbying against nuclear weapons development, the nuclear arms race and competition with the Soviets, and the development of the hydrogen bomb in particular, that he got blacklisted as a communist during the McCarthy years and was essentially erased from the scientific community because of it?
That Robert Oppenheimer?

you cannot keep telling the people around you "guys, cmon, sometimes you just... sometimes you just gotta let the genocide slide, okay, things will stay slightly more okay Here if we co-sign ethnic cleansing over There, we gotta do it, its just common sense, things are just, soooo precipitous in Our country right now, aren't you scared?" and be surprised when increasing parts of the population start going "ah. okay. so you admit, it really is Death no matter what, huh, just weather or not it comes for me specifically, or rather, when" and start stuffing a gas soaked rag into a bottle without breaking eye contact
because some people, when they see a trolley problem where the body stack for BOTH tracks are both SO MASSIVE the difference is measured only in its sentimental relativity to the individual given access to the rail lever, ask "who the fuck is still setting these up", and bolt across the tracks to pry the kill switch off that fucker, even if it gets their ass run over for nothing, or shot when they get too close all while someone cries out Nooooo you should have just pulled the leeeveerrrr to save MY people at least, nooo the others would have been slightly more acceptable collateral bc they aren't My People nooooo (and that someone may well have pulled the trigger themself, or at least, called the cops to complain about All This Ruckus)
these "who set up the trolley problem" people will always exist and the worse shit gets, the more they are going to resent Blue No Matter Who types who can never put in more effort towards progress than fingerwagging trying to tell them No Boy! Down! Sit, sit! No! Bad Dog! Very Bad Dog! No Biting!
Unfortunately for myself, and perhaps others, i am a bitch who will bite the hand that feeds me if i see it plainly beating another dog

How the fuck is it that we live in a time when information gets spread SO EASILY SO many people can talk to each other around the world, to share news, facts, opinions, yet SOMEHOW this TERRIFYING FUCKING GENOCIDE is just going to what? Slip under the radar? Continue without any sort of hiccup? THIS IS A FUCKING GENOCIDE. PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING. If you're on the internet AT ALL you should know this is not fucking about the hostages or the Hamas or whatever fucking diluted bullshit you want to believe, this is about a government DESTROYING, ERADICATING a group of people, INNOCENT PEOPLE, PREGNANT PEOPLE, BABIES, CHILDREN, MOTHERS, FATHERS, GRANDPARENTS, SIBLINGS, FRIENDS, WIVES, HUSBANDS, PEOPLE WHO ARE SO SO LOVED. GONE. We are aiding in a fucking genocide. I'm so fucking sick, I feel like I'm losing my fucking grip on reality because how could we ever fucking get to this point.

I know the Musk "trillion people means more Mozarts" thing is stupid as fuck but I just saw a prominent blogger reply to it by saying anyone has the ability to be a Mozart and I'm sorry but "talent doesn't exist" discourse has officially gone too far, and I say that as someone who hates the word "talent" and has replaced it almost entirely with the word "skill" in my vocabulary.
Not everyone is a prodigy. Yes, prodigies get lost because they lack opportunity, but that still doesn't mean everyone is a prodigy. If everyone WAS then everyone with enough wealth and opportunity WOULD be and like. I'm sorry, have you SEEN what a fucking moron Elon Musk actually is?
