Darcy's role in P&P would work for me anyway, but tbh it works for me 10x better because he halfway reverts back to form towards the end of the book.

hey if you're a COVID cautious (still masking) antizionist can you interact with this post please so maybe i can message you or just so i know you're there.
and if you're not both of those things like. fix that. educate yourself. start masking (n95+, surgical and cloth do not adequately protect against covid although they are a Little better than nothing). i am fucking begging you. "isr-el" is committing genocide of palestinians and COVID ISN'T OVER. read about palestine. read about how covid is destroying hundreds of millions of lives around the world, especially those of racial minorities and disabled people. genocide is being committed in palestine by "isr-el" children are dying parents are dying EVERYONE IS DYING children are undergoing horrors such as being forced to lie in piles of the corpses of their fucking families before the iof shoots and kills them too and countless other completely fucking unfathomable horrors are committed all day every fucking day to palestinians. this isn't just like the holocaust, this is another holocaust. before anyone cries antisemitism for this accurate comparison, look at the fucking pictures (CONTENT WARNING for EXTREMELY graphic images of the jewish holocaust and palestinian genocide, including dead bodies). also, i'm jewish myself, but that is besides the fucking point. you can see it with your own damn eyes.
and because of covid being ignored and people not masking people in nearly every country are dying in droves and contracting horrible diseases and symptoms (over 85 studies in that link) including but not limited to cancer, total anhedonia (one woman with long covid can NO LONGER FEEL LOVE FOR HER OWN CHILDREN because of it. this could happen to YOU) brain shrinkage early onset alzheimer's severe chronic pain severe fatigue anxiety heart damage lung damage your olfactory system being so damaged everything smells and tastes like rotting meat for the rest of your life and of course a slow, excruciating death, including of young, healthy children, which COVID is a leading cause of death for, among many many many other horrible painful debilitating conditions (source to all in previous link). it can even kill your pets. there is NO TREATMENT for long covid. YOU ARE NOT INVULNERABLE. every infection INCLUDING asymptomatic infections leaves you further immunocompromised and the chances of long COVID and death rise every time.
if you aren't masking you are not only endangering yourself, you are responsible for the misery and deaths of your community members and family and lovers and friends. if you didn't know before this post you didn't know but now you do. i am on my knees in tears as a disabled person and someone who gives a shit about other people begging you to WEAR A FUCKING MASK.
here's a huge list of where to get masks including free masks. mask recs for people with sensory issues. here's how to help palestine here's more resources here's where to donate so palestinians can pay the $5,00-$10,000 ransom to escape rafah which is being bombed. here's the site for the boycott, divest, sanctions (BDS) movement. do something. do everything you can. care. wear a mask every time you go indoors or in a crowd in public. give a shit about palestinians and your community members. fucking. PLEASE. we can't lose hope but we HAVE to walk the talk or our words mean NOTHING. if you call yourself a leftist, someone who cares about other people, you must act like it, or you are Not.
if you need access to masks or recs for face shape/sensory issues and none of the links provided work send me an ask and i will help you find one. i have lots of knowledge on them
free palestine, and wear a mask. do not let fascism and eugenics win. we can make a difference if we choose to care about each other
btw reblogs of this are okay and encouraged, if you'd rather share something less inflammatory i have dozens and dozens of posts in my #covid resources and #free palestine tags, including some posts linked in this one

minx is interesting. It’s interesting and it’s interested in things in a way that I find a lot of current media about feminism not to be. There’s an active interest into poking into some of the uncomfortable areas without simple conclusions when it comes to how feminism should relate to sex and the market/capitalism.
also really appreciate the unapologetic 70’s ness and the use of 70’s events, catchwords, buzz etc in a way that doesn’t always feel tee hee
#Like idk if it always comes to the Conclusions but is really interesting to see a show which is ABOUT feminism and what it actually is#With imperfect people#What does it /mean/ to make something feminist and what does it mean when that thing has to be sold#There’s a couple moments so far that are like well this would blow someone’s mind off#It’s interesting to chew on relative to Daisy jones lol#I’m not going to say it’s anti capitalist but it’s also not that type of subliminal capitalist fantasy show#That just ignores the demands of capitalism to write off a world for the people who’ve already won#Very much almost in Convo with something like the bold type or classic sex and the city for that#Like the whole second episode thing with the ads#the ads unapologetically sucking and being soooo sexist#And upper class country club goer white feminist Joyce /also/ being extremely confined mentally to sexist advertising#Like I hate the edible panties. U know what’s great? Shampoo and makeup#And Doug mentioning that if they /don’t/ advertise the cost of the magazine will go above most people’s ability to pay for it#Like. It’s a show Thinking about a lot of this#I think Joyce is so interesting because she’s both so much more radical and so much more flawed than a lot of the /girlboss/ characters out#There. She’s the rare example of an upper class white feminist that I think the narrative is aware of the class part at least#And she’s flawed and kind of mean and totally out of it#And also like. 5000% more radical than a lot of the the equivalents#Like she isn’t trying to publish Feel Empowered with Sexy Lipstick articles#She’s trying to publish articles about birth control marital rape and abortion access#And her issues often come from where the radicality of her vision is being compromised by praxis#Like that’s so interesting

even when i meet fellow oddballs i feel like i am still far too weird until one of them out-oddballs me, and then i feel fine
this is mostly because i am intensely unwilling to compromise on any aspect of my self expression more than i absolutely have to (such as in the workplace, though even those people know i'm an animal on the internet. just to a lesser extent than the rad chucklefucks following me)
but the whole "i'm a dragon with a bunch of people in my head because my mommy didn't love me enough" thing tends to put off even the otherwise accepting people i meet so it's understandably very scary every time for me/us
like being authentic is non-optional but it's also an entire ordeal. SHRUGS LOUDLY

Idea about SSB Links relationship: Mask and Wind’s reaction to Twi getting replaced with Wild. Like Twi gives off so much responsibility big bro energy while Wild is the type to go ‘you guys wanna to see some cool shit?’ and then teach them to do something crazy.
Like at first Wild tries to be the responsible adult but he is also like mentally 1-2 years old, so I could see Mask parenting both Wind and Wild and that is how Time first becomes the dad of the Links.
I assume you're talking about Ultimate vs Brawl, but Mask wasn't in Brawl so it was just Wind and Twilight hanging out, I mean Twi can definitely handle one kid that's absolutely batshit but then it's time for ultimate and he gets replaced with Wild and also adds Mask to the mix.
At first Wild attempts to be the protective responsible older brother but that doesn't work at all so he becomes the cool brother. He's still reminding Wind to eat his greens and trying to persuade Mask to eat more than just milk, but he's also fun to be around.
I think it's far more interesting that Mask is still allowed to be a kid and Wild is genuinely good with kids, rather than just the type people assume would be bad to have around kids. Sure, he's reckless and probably doesn't take good care of himself but he's really good with children and they just naturally like him a lot. And I think that Mask deserves to have someone actually actively care about him. But he's still a kid and he doesn't really see what's going on with Wild in any capacity so when he meets him again in LU, he's just like "ohhhhh you were weird bc your a little fucked up! that makes more sense.'

it's not about that you "have" to get to exercise your autonomy. b/c like, yes you do, but not in the way that "if i don't get to do that Now i will explode & evaporate (& die)" which is what people keep leveraging to be like "so you don't have any valid argument for getting to act out your own choices"
therein is another issue of "why do you need a 'valid argument' to get Exceptions as ruled by this person to exist autonomously, unpunished" like why's this person an authority who gets to punish you. nonrhetorically, why do you have to appeal to their maybe possibly deciding to Let you be a person. should you "have" to.
and if you don't get that Permission that you supposedly "have" to get, you also will not immediately explode and die if you do that unpermitted thing, but shocking how "you don't Haaaave to" is only invoked re: things you want to do for yourself, and not what they want you to do for them....because it's Not Really About "Literally literally Haaaaving to"
the alignment between people getting on one for years about asexuality, and while doing so maxing out the saturation on their bullshit on any & everything, b/c you're just getting into anti autonomy, so ofc you're also just stoking & expressing "arguments" against autonomy that are deployed in plenty of other contexts, including against other queer identities....and that particular resonance with biphobia & transphobia, and how either groups are theoretically thwarting the Truest Gays because how will we have a valid argument against the truest cishets agenda if we can't convince them we haaaaaave to be like this instead of that no, we won't explode & die if we have to be repressed or at least closeted another day, and another, and you won't explode after another, either, etc. rather than thee point of "asexuality autonomy = queer autonomy = Your queer autonomy = Anyone's Autonomy" and "why do we 'have' to Convince anyone to go 'oh alriiiight' abt one's choices about how they express their identity, what decisions they make about having sex"....it's about anyone having the power to preclude & restrict others' autonomy & constrain their existence between one kind of more imminent, immediate harm/death & a more drawn out one where you exist as a resource for others' use but at least you aren't Literally dead today. so what if someone's saying "well i don't think your gender/sexuality stuff is Real" so long as they can't get in the way of other people living that out anyways. so what if someone's supposedly like "well, but everyone could be bi" (which they don't. just like ppl were never 'pretending' to be asexual to nefariously stand around in the queer space that never rigorously vetted everyone anyways? Making Up A Guy To Get Mad At) to supposedly argue that if all of you are bi you can just restrict yourself to the Cishet Appearing manifestations (which they don't) where what's that even matter if this [guy to get mad at] can't make that anyone else's problem? if he can, why can he. should he be able to. that's the problem, not "have we all tried the constant biphobia wherein they're always thwarting & sabotaging the rest of us?? like how trans people are keeping us from being legitimate?? with the opportunity for some trans people to also try declaring other noncis people Not Legitimately Trans?? well the cishet agenda loves asexuals, actually, they want everyone to never have sex ever (they don't want that, and that's not what being asexual is)"
using the "you can't Know through Direct Perception or extrasensory phenomena what someone else's Thoughts And Feelings are" both ways; wherein their assertion of their intentions, true or not, gets to be treated as an assertion of Reality, meanwhile b/c Your intentions/thoughts/feelings can't be directly observed, you're just lying or exaggerating or misremembering or failing to Express yourself correctly b/c they would've surely interpreted it correctly otherwise, or [anything else] re: your inner experiences that you can't "prove" are one way or another, so this other person gets to always decide for themself what they must be (why?) and if they just so happen to decide they Must be in alignment with what they want (good) or unacceptably, evilly, incorrectly Against Them, they also get to flex their control over the entire situation via their Authority / control over resources / the person's lack of other options b/c of isolation & that, say, breaking away from a family, job, marriage or just deemed correctly romantic relationship, is punished by the larger system of How Things Are, through a lack of resources that makes you more vulnerable in general as well as vulnerable to further punishment in how you might try to respond to that situation, through the general stance that maintaining cohesion of a Unit like the nuclear family, the "romantic" "man"/"woman" couple, is good, so breaking from it is deviant........anyways it's like. if you're like "well i'm having sex b/c i want to" and someone is like "well i say YOURE LYING" like, what? "isn't there someone you forgot to ask" shit. why should that get to affect things. whether you're like "oh no. what if they could say 'you're lying...b/c how do i knowwww you're not BI. where you could want to have sex with someone BESIDES this one person rn?? or ACE??? if you Don't have sex rn and you Don't explode and die 5 min later we will Know you Could Be Asexual" like, this isn't how it works anyways obviously but theoretically if it did: we would not be like "oh sorry guess that's what matters" unless what mattered was some people's being lower on a hierarchy and at the quite literal disposal of those with more power than them. what would the crisis be of someone going "well i think. every gay person? is bi" or someone going "you've just told me your name is gloria but i think your name is actually tetris...." or "i'm so embarrassed i wish everyone but me was dead" if none of these things can hinder the existence of people having sex w/autonomy for all involved or people getting to tell you their name or all other people being alive
the banger quote on my imdb page was saying "no, i don't 'Have' to, but i'm going to" to an authoritarian in my life, concluding several minutes' "negotiation" of [i 'have' to hang up on this call now b/c the movie i'm standing in this movie theater to see is about to start. no i won't explode and die if i don't. i also won't explode and die if i don't keep "talking" to you (being Talked At / lectured & upbraided from afar)] funny how that works. i also Know this was a checkmate b/c that person gave up on responding (or, technically, switched to The Silent Treatment, which worked even worse via phone than in person) and i did hang up rather than miss the movie i showed up for and then they had to resort to Other Methods: telling someone willing to take on the enabling cop mode that i had Essentially said Go Fuck Yourself. like well that's right, and the fact that it's a "go fuck yourself" to get to say "i am going to end the call b/c i choose to do something else" and then actually do so is a real testament to this relationship. and if one had said "i can't keep talking, i have to go" and someone's like "sldfj you mean thou MAY not keep talking" teehee i don't know, CAN you have the peas????? it's like this obviously doesn't matter. i can choose to do shit and choose to not do shit without exploding and dying right this very second, except for taking 5 sec to eat a deadly bomb with a timer set for 5 sec. This Is Not The Point. why is autonomy off-limits to Anyone.
#authoritarian parent whose silent treatments fail: anti crossdressing household law will get everyone to stop inconveniently Being People#spoilers: i continue to be a real life person; nonbinary; autistic; i continue to not engage in a relationship w/that parent b/c#Their choice was to have that relationship be the authority & the property. so the response to that: not being in that situation.#creating that kind of relationship & then being like ''why don't i get the Benefits of a different kind of relationship that is defined by#everyone being recognized as people and having actual positive experiences and legitimately Wanting to interact :(''#the autonomy to Not do something b/c you don't want to = the autonomy to Totally do something b/c you do want to#hence the idea of the True / Ideal Homosexual being ''but i Must Only have gay sex or i'll explode & die'' vs ''i feel like having gay sex'#yeah we ''could'' all be forced into binary genders & nuclear family units & be miserable & isolated but not literally explode.#but why should we. why would we. why can't we Not do that#hence as well that queer autonomy=everyone's autonomy. ppl who id as cishet? don't need to be Forced into that or into Awful Marriage Asap#but they do if we wanna isolate everyone / eliminate broader social support networks / restrict the autonomy to do anything else#asexuality handshake bisexuality. parallel to aromanticism handshake polyamory#and the backup to ''well but you won't literally die'' is to preclude Choice entirely by diverting the focus from [questioning ur choices]#to [questioning whether you have the capacity to make choices] as an extension. lens on ableism / disability justice is in Everything#not in like a ''huh. who'd've thought that overlapped'' Fun Fact way but in [you don't Understand that issue fully if you don't see ableism#someone's always getting to justify their authority by their Superior Ability vs others' Inferior/Absent Ability#saw that zany ''radical queer theory based on vibes is now that asexuals aren't queer'' streak definitely manifest ableism#a good ol fashioned ''asexuals won't consider What's Wrong With Them / try harder to seek some conversion therapy'' great stuff gang#or even more useless declarations of ''haha but most people Aren't ace. it's not Normal to not want to have sex. checkmate?''#and what is your conclusion to that logic? ended up in ''ace ppl. are cringe!! & maybe not real!!!'' aaand what do we do with that?#what praytell do you suggest change based on that. how has that exclusionist analysis served queer lives. how is it continuing to do so.#versus like and who cares if everyone Could possibly all be labeled bi if what is In Practice anyways is ppl getting to have sex or Not how#they want to anyways. recognizing that Any trans person's existence is a testament to Everyone's autonomy#any ''threat'' to children is always guaranteed abt the Threat to [parents' control to decide Who & What a child gets to be]#that is; ''protecting'' children is abt the child being the property of parents. gotta protect That by withholding all info about trans ppl#even existing from kids b/c Property can't decide their identities for themselves so Children can't be allowed to either#their even knowing that some people Do get to exist autonomously is; indeed; that ''threat'' to the [child is property] order#and Language as Possibility. it's the 2010s & you can only go ''that's me i'm nonbinary'' when you learn abt the word ''nonbinary''#even though you can then know you always knew but you didn't have the word so you had to keep on using other; more inaccurate words....#discovering the tree trunk of [word: Autistic] that roots all these branches of ppl talking abt Experiences & now Realizing Things....

japanese learning is so fun it will be like
AH! Incredible! i understood that!
then wow. i have. no idea. in the slightest. what i’ve just read/heard. 
at the moment the no idea parts are almost certainly hiragana (or audio only) that is not a cognate to a language i know better. which fair enough. an opaque language is going to be more of a struggle. 
there is a huge payoff in japanese though when i understand something, if that makes sense. like... with japanese, the day i could read a single line (even a tiny one) in a manga in year 2 of learning was IMMENSE. the day i could comprehend a caption on instagram was Awesome. even now, just being able to comprehend PART of a conversation in a video game scene is so cool. just being able to play 2 hours of kingdom hearts in japanese (even though i know the game by memory) is so awesome to just pick up one tidbit of new info - some translation difference, some new word, some kind of formality/informality that was never preserved in the english translation. reading a novel sentence... just sentence... and not being overwhelmed. reading a novel Chapter and actually knowing some of what’s going on... especially when i still remember when i could Not even read a simple manga chapter for preteens and follow the basic overall main idea without the help of a dictionary. japanese always feels like a very long process, journey, to me. but it also makes each smaller achievement feel like a lot when i manage to do it.

not caught up but i saw the preview for thirteen's final episode and. well. all i can say is that it's the most chibnall move of all time to shove like 40 returning characters into a finale at the last minute. because as we all know big casts have been this era's strong suit.

maybe it's the Gray Area in me talking but defining yourself against people you view as "different" constantly just seems incredibly exhausting like. do you really have to mention them every 5 seconds in a negative way even if you're trying to be positive about yourself? I thought YOU were the focus here? Why are you letting these people live rent free in your head if you hate them. Evict them???

I think people need to understand that when someone says the situation in Israel/Palestine is complicated they are not necessarily saying that the discussion of who the oppressor vs oppressed is complicated. The Israeli government has been oppressing the Palestinians for a very long time, that is clear, and it is not complicated to understand that at least since the 80s they have had dramatically more financial and military power to keep control of the territory in the way they like.
However, it is reductive and dismissive to insist that there is no complexity in the potential ways to move forward to bring peace to the region. Despite what people on tumblr.edu like to believe, "Israel should never have been created" is not a practical solution to an incredibly heated geopolitical situation in the present day. Israel was created and it does exist. 10 million people live there. 74% of the population is native born and the country has existed for 75 years. Hand waving these fact away with the opinion that "they should move back to where they came from" may make you feel good about being a Radical Leftist, but it does not give anyone a road map for how exactly millions of people without dual citizenship are supposed to just up and evaporate. Nor does it acknowledge the reality that 21% of Israelis are Arabs, the very people you are claiming to want to give the land back to.
Insisting that there's nothing complicated about expecting an entire country's population to willingly dissappear with no consequences is not a productive way to think about this conflict. It ignores the many massive superpowers that have an interest in proping up different states in the region, the power dynamics involved in any land back movements, and the inevitably negative consequences of totally dissolving an established state without a plan. It is also completely and almost comically unrealistic, so much so that it makes it hard to believe that anyone who's opinion starts and ends with this idea really gives a shit about anyone who lives in the area as much as they care about their online leftist clout.
There's nothing complicated in understanding that the Israeli government is and has been maintaining an oppressive apartheid state for decades. It is, however, very complicated to come up with a realistic way to resolve some of the most intricately entangled land disputes on the planet without plunging the region into total chaos. Not everyone has to be deeply educated on every geopolitical situation, but it is very hard to take people seriously when they know nothing about the politics or history of a region and yet insist that there is nothing complicated about it at all.
There's a lot of people on this website who are getting dangerously smug about their own ignorance, and are starting to go down Qanon type anti-intellectual paths in the name of being sufficiently radical. Not knowing the details of a very convoluted land dispute isn't something to brag about online as you call for intentionally reductive solutions. You can support the Palestinian cause and be aware of the oppression they have faced while also holding off on calling people trying to do real analysis and de-escalation work bootlickers. We need to get control of the urge to fit every global issue into a simplistic YA novel narrative structure that appeals to Western revolutionary fantasies.
