I almost told a family member about the riots against Jews in Dagestan, then I realized their reaction would be "all Muslims are terrorists".
We have got to stop this cycle.
Hate the ones who have actually hurt. Don't hate every member of a group.
Fear distorts reality. Everyone (or many, perhaps most) has the potential for violence under the right conditions--if they let a mob mentality take over, for instance. Focusing on "it's only Them" obscures the truth: we all have good and evil inside us. We have the capacity to choose what's good-- to see truth, that not every member of a certain group will choose evil, only evil, all the time, "thus they need erasing" (demonizing people when they're actually only human). And we have to take responsibility for our own feelings and actions-- divert our feelings toward the right sources, don't attack innocent people just because they're of the same group as someone who has attacked you.

one of the things that annoys me so bad right now is seeing letterboxd reviews about Lisa Frankenstein being like "she's such a horrible character", "those people didn't deserve to be killed" blah blah blah
SHUT UP
it's a horror romance!! a girl keeps a reanimated dead guy in her closet and falls in love with him! what did you think was going to happen? it's SUPPOSED to be fucked up and weird and that's part of its charm. quit being boring, let female characters (esp in horror) be messy and chaotic and morally gray.

Jazz cat! (Lest we forget who my favourite is)
Been seeing a few posts with overlord-era Husk playing the saxophone and I am ALLLL for it. This post is for ME. I am the demand for Jazz Saxophonist Husk Content. If only I knew how to draw a sax... or someone playing one... oh, well!
