I watched Starship Troopers tonight.

#personal #dumb #my art #immediately after finishing i was pumped to watch some analysis vids on it #cuz i heard a lot of the drama about the original author being a pro military fascist and the director going “fuck that” and making a satir #scrolling through youtube search results was not promising. lots of male film buffs i would Not trust even on a first glance. #“The Critical Drinker” (pfp of a bearded man drinking alcohol) lol. #and then I saw cinemawins did a video on it and was like oh nice i haven't seen his stuff in a while but he's a pretty leftist creator #scrolled through the comments #second panel face #this sucks i'm outta here. #just leagues and leagues and leagues of anime pfps and right leaning people dogpiling on him for “not understanding what fascism is” #idk it's pretty alien and weird to me watching this movie and going “wow yeah that was pretty obvious huh” like literally the from opening #to the teacher preaching militance and only giving voting rights to “those who serve their nation first and earn it” #and then seeing droves of people online going #WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? It's not anti-fascist and even if it was it's #the director's fault for desecrating heinlein's incredible sci-fi epic vision. ermm media literacy is dead.

ok genuine question. is it gauche to text my friend who works full-time at the place im applying to (where i have worked before for many years, it's just a seasonal position so i have to re-apply) and tell him that there's a typo (they forgot to update the year from 2023 -> 2024) on the application page

#specifying that i do need to like update my resume and add a few things to my website before i actually apply i was just looking at #the page now to see if it was up yet (which it is. obviously) #it just feels KINDA awkward to be like 'lol hey nicky jsyk—' but idk he might appreciate it. but also he might not even be able to #change it bc it might be someone else who has the correct passwords n stuff to change it???? liiiike IDKK #grandpa max is god? i go to church now #the 1 vote rn for some other 4th thing was me just so i can. see results lol

Because I'm seeing cakegate on my dash again, let's stir up some old drama

#playchoices #the freshman #choices tf #the royal romance #choices trr #I'm gonna say it—Drake's was dumb as hell but you can't deny it was p in character for him #them rewriting it + trying to make him out to be a non-toxic masculinity icon later on was what wasn't consistent #(& you cant say the latter was character growth because they never presented it as a journey they just pretended the other never happened) #and see if he didn't want a pink cake just because he doesn't love the color that's valid #it's that he specifically said it was because it was girly that makes it a fragile masculinity thing #and by extension it's also a sexism thing and even a homophobia thing if you wanna view it that way too #the Abbie thing made people mad enough to give it a name (cakegate) and it sure is the icing on the cake for an already loathsome character #anyway I'm voting Abbie cause I hated it but I still think the fuss about the Drake one wasn't really warranted #like yeah I maintain it's a problematic comment but idk what to tell you man that's just the dude you romanced #like what aspect of his characterization leading up to that moment makes it take you by surprise or think it's ooc #and I say this as someone who originally married Drake and had him as one of my favorite LIs but that was Drake being Drake honestly #unconquered queries

you get to resurrect one of these Death Note characters so that they may go back to the past and "fix" it... you can try to tell them what you think they should do, but, oh no, the super convenient magical Death Note loophole that has allowed this resurrection to happen doesn't leave you with a lot of time to explain!! it's ultimately up to them!!

#Death Note #lau.txt #I'm just playing dolls with these polls at this point. idk. they're so FUN #sorry had to add the 'Matt lmaooo' option. I still think it could be our vanilla extract. if we want it to be. #but also answer seriously if u wish. tell me in the tags how u think they would/should fix the plot/circumstances that led to their death #I'm so curious #coolest thing about polls is even if not a lot of you guys tell me your thoughts I can Feel you all There. because there are sooo many more #votes than notes. makes me remember there are lurkers who don't like or rb skjskj I feel accompanied. by you all. it's beautiful #anyway if you guys don't vanilla extract Matt then I'm predicting a Naomisweep personally

ok maybe they're the same amount of usefulness in terms of harm reduction or whatever but if nothing else, I have infinitely more respect for people who are planning to vote third-party or write-in than those who are trying to... make a statement by not voting? Like the only statement you're making with that is that you don't care anymore. Voting for a third party candidate at least says that you're voting against both options.

I'm not saying this in a 'voting third party is the way to go' sense, I'm just saying that if you're going to throw away your sway in who wins to make a point anyway, there's an option that actually communicates your point and it sure as heck isn't refusing to vote.

#This post is brought to you by seeing a really annoying probably-a-psyop on my dash #from someone who I honestly don't know if i followed by accident bc idk what on their profile i followed for #But yeah #Like this has gotta be THE most infuriating part of the 'don't vote' posts to me. #If you're morally opposed to voting for either major candidate even for harm reduction that's understandable #But if the conclusion that leads you to is 'so don't vote at all' then i think you're ignoring some options #uspol #ask to tag #I mean I'm probably going to be voting democratic but like. #I can see the case for third-party candidates. I can't see the case for not voting.

i was thinking about the poll someone made last year on their blog that was something like "who's your favourite side character in the lymond chronicles?" (i don't remember if it was side characters, but basically every important character except francis and philippa was there)

and i'm curious to see what the results would be here on tumblr. because in that poll archie and kate were the undisputed winners, but i think people on here appreciate the. messy characters more lol

#lymond #me 🤝 the other two people who voted for jerott on that poll #i think u could vote for 3 characters on there too!! so the lack of votes for him was even sadder lmao #idk maybe archie and kate would win here too... but i doubt it

I really was making up the most insanely codependent relationships as comfort scenarios when I was a kid

#I had these group of like #Five; I think characters or maybe eight of them #They were called the flock and they were all siblings who were just #Insanely reliant on each other #And I think I even knew it to some point because I literally had them diagnosed with separation anxiety in my head #But it just? Never clicked how unhealthy it was? #Anyway they were structured like a fucking. Office #There was… Annie #I think #she was the sort of secretary she was 14 #(They all had official titles and duties it was a whole thing) #Laurel I remember was albino and she was the protector I think she was… 10? 11? #There were others too #Uh #David maybe #Yeah #he was sixteen and I think like. The leader or whatever? Idk? #I don’t think there was a leader actually I remember they voted on everything but I feel #Like I can’t remember what he did and I think it was leader-adjacent #Benny was 5 #He was in charge of like.

The part of the Zionists rhetoric I've seen online especially here on tumblr that really... not so much confuses or disturbs me because every part of supporting racism and genocide is disturbing, but the part that makes me nauseous in a very specific way, is how many of these people claim to be leftists. Not the Israeli government or the majority of Zionists obviously, they're proud racist right wingers. But here on tumblr you have people who believe in feminism and queer rights and would agree easily enough with surface level takes on how racism in America is bad. And when it comes to conservatives and red fascists they can easily tell when a right wing racist or homophobe is arguing in bad faith, they can make long posts explaining the harm behind terf rhetoric and how it differs from the actual fight for women's liberation. They can look at the Russia and Ukraine conflict and use critical thinking to call out bad actors with ease.

But then with Israel and Palestine they just... Flip. All the bad faith arguments they criticised before is now their modus operandi. They ignore the ongoing genocide and the Palestinians talking about it and focus on the oppressors, only reblogging the same one or two Palestinian voices once every now and then that say everything they want to hear and nothing more.

I think the most striking example is that "antisemitism bingo" someone made where the ongoing genocide was something to be laughed at and the blog made fun of Palestinian civilians being tortured. And yet when a blocklist went around of people who interacted with that ghoulish blog, clearly explaining why we should avoid them, (Hijt:The racism and dehumanisation of Palestinians) these "leftist zionists" immediately were like "Oh its a block list of Jewish blogs! It's only blocking us because we're Jewish!"

Like it's the most bad faith easily disproven illogical argument that every random 4chan troll can make. It's not my actions it's because I'm white! It's not my homophobic remarks it's because I'm straight!

I still struggle to understand how they're able to flip so easily from intelligent historical and societal discussions of oppression and intersectionality to denial of the Nakba, denial of the apartheid and racism that has ruled the Israeli state since its conception, denial of the Israeli terrorism and colonisation ongoing in the West Bank that Palestinians have been speaking up about for years (The save Sheikh Jarrah campaign and the murder of peaceful Palestinian activists predates October 7th by quite a bit and yet received far, far less coverage by western media) and denial of everything the government and soldiers and many citizens are currently doing to murder as many Palestinians as possible. How do you go from pointing out cult tactics to a Maga style tribalism enthusiast just because it's Palestinians being oppressed and not another group?

The only reason I can think of is that unlike say, white people or straight people, zionists DO have an understandable, real fear that they can use to promote their racist cult. Antisemitism exists worldwide and is a problem in every single country. Unlike ridiculous concepts like "white genocide" or misandry, there is grounded, factual and understandable reasons for Jewish people to want a community where they can feel safe. And anyone who truly cares about equality for all must be committed to stamping out and dismantling antisemitism in every country and neighbourhood, because Zionists sure as hell aren't. The more antisemitism exists the greater their fuel for justifying and promoting Israel as the One True answer to it all.

But the solution of Israel involved ethnic cleansing in order to built their majority Jewish state, and relies on racism and genocide to maintain it. Just like any other coloniser state, it's not sustainabile and is constantly spiralling towards fascism. (America currently contending for loudest spiral) And that is obvious to anyone who reads up on the history or just like. Talks to Palestinians for five seconds. Israel exists due to racism and dehumanisation of Palestinians, and anyone who considers that an acceptable sacrifice is blatantly morally bankrupt. But the tribalism is simply too strong for that sort of logic and understanding, and whatever reasons they may have for falling into Zionism, it's still unacceptable. If you're still on here talking about "demonising Israel and exaggerating genocide (for the woke agenda, is what they're two steps away from saying) then I have no sympathy or time for you. One day you will be forced to reckon with your cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance, and the self righteous racist narrative you cling to will no longer be enough to protect you from judgement. Normal people with their morals screwed on right don't support fascism and racism. Leftists sure as hell shouldn't support facism and racism. (And yes this goes for those who defend Russian and Chinese imperialism too.)

You talk about feeling isolated, about having no one but fellow zionists to rely on. No one else will accept how complicated the situation is, you say over the sound of ten thousand murdered children killed and celebrated by the fascists you're carrying water for. Everyone else is just too antisemitic! You say as the Israeli government and military celebrates Hannukah by bombing Palestinians and joking that they're lighting one of the candles.

I genuinely can't tell if these people are aware they're full of shit or just so scared that they've dived deep into cult mentality with zero critical thought allowed. But either way, there should be no more space for them in our community than a nazi, a homophobe or a Trump supporter. They may have parroted similar ideals of equality and justice for long enough, but when push came to shove and the issues began to hit too close to home, they decided that supporting facism is how they want to cope. So be it. Palestine will be free with or without them and I will mourn the intelligent principled people they could have been, but at the end of the day you have to draw the line somewhere. And supporting genocide is generally a solid line to go with.

#What I've learned in recent months that's quite depressing #Is that many American liberals consider racism an acceptable evil the way they don't consider feminism or homophobia #If Biden adopted and increased Trump's misogynistic policies while being actually good on all the current racist ones #I sincerely doubt that people would be fanatically attacking anyone who criticises him the way they are now #Those that suffer due to both parties racism simply has to suck it up and wait their turn for a good candidate #Vote for the guy who will protect me and people like me even though he's supporting and funding the fascists killing your family #Is not a position I thought liberals would ever be in #And adding “I know it sucks but it's the only way” doesn't actually make it better because OK. So what do you actually propose to help? #Because protesting the current president complicit in the genocide is apparently a no no. Even if you'll vote him over Trump #Idk man all I know is I'm grateful for the people around me with principals and morals who can see everyone as people #And not just those similar enough to them.

Gentle reminder - reblog!

Hi everyone!

Not sure if you've been keeping up with all the changes that keep happening on tumblr, but every single time this website and company is acquired by someone new, they try their best to turn it into another facebook, or instagram, or tiktok, or whatever the cool new social media platform is. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of how this platform works and the benefit of the anonymity and workings of the unique algorithm. But every single time, they've tried. First when yahoo got it, then when it went to verizon, and then when they sold it to automattic. Now with the death of tumblr live, they're trying to do another rebrand.

Tumblr is one of the few remaining online spaces where we get the opportunity to truly curate our online space, and share and experience things in a way that can't be capitalised on. The concept of a tumblr influencer doesn't exist, because there's no advantage of it, there's no benefit of being an 'influencer'. But the only way we can keep this website around, is to keep using it as the way it was originally intended, in the way that other websites have not worked.

Likes on tumblr are not the same as likes on instagram or youtube, they don't really do anything! They don't help the creator, they don't help promote the post itself in any meaningful way, it's just a way to safekeep it for yourself later. And while that's a totally valid reason to want to like something, just as a reminder of something and a way to revisit a post later in the future, I would highly encourage everyone to try and reblog things as well!! Whether it's art of your favourite ship, whether it's a gifset of your favourite onscreen couple, whether it's a meta around a certain show, or whether it's discussions of the latest major current news event, the only way to truly circulate it and create a positive impact is by reblogging! The more people that get to see any given post, the better.

As an example, KOSA is becoming a thing again, and we're all being encouraged to act against it. I wouldn't have found out about KOSA if someone I follow hadn't reblogged it first, and then i reblogged it again. KOSA is one thing that could impact our online experience DRASTICALLY, and it's imperative that we spread the word about it - forewarned is forearmed, and only when we know about it can we take action against it, right?

I'm not saying this to try and promote this blog at all. I won't lie and say a few more reblogs on this blog here and there wouldn't be nice, but frankly at the end of the day my blog contributes little to nothing to the larger fandom discourse in the grand scheme of things. I'm saying this for everyone else out there. If you want tumblr to survive and thrive as our internet experience continues to evolve in the coming decade, keep using it as much as you can! Reblog anything and everything you can! Your one singular reblog can have a butterfly effect on a post. When you just like, the movement of the post stops there.

And tying into my blog (sorry lads, i'm only human and have to make it a little relevant for me as well 😭), if there's one type of post on the website you encounter anywhere that I strongly recommend you reblog, it's a poll. A poll only serves it's function if it reaches people who can actually vote on it, and we can only get a true reflection of the views of the masses when the most number of people get to participate in it. That's democracy, babey!

Anyways, that's my biannual rant. Back to your regularly scheduled programming, and see you in 6 months for the next big rant!

#i've tried to not make this blog particularly political bc that's for my main blog #but yeah this is also about palestine #it's about kosa too duh but idk if i wanted to mention palestine in the actual post body #if you have any sympathy for folks in palestine but don't have the means to actually help out in any tangible way #even just reblogging someone else's post could make a difference #bc it could allow someone else who DOES have the means to see it #knowledge is power and only works when we get to share that knowledge so that we all have that power #sorry for getting all passionate yall i have Feelings about this #anyways back to fics sdjfklsdjfsjd #not a fic rec #me #gentle reminder #reblog posts!! #also i know. i KNOW. this makes me sound so goddamn salty #call me out idc #i specifically wrote on the last poll 'please reblog after voting so that more people see the poll' #how many votes? 14. how many reblogs you ask? 0 #i mean. i know i've only just started this new thing but damn. nearly 4000 of you here and this is what we're doing? #makes me really question why i'm even trying to do this at all
