The only people who benefit when black people and jews are divided are white supremacists

#research at my job rn is focused on the time frame at twitter immediately after kanye said all that stuff #so im having to read the absolute worst takes ever #about bs that he was saying at the time #and a lot of people were really exposed to these antisemitic conspiracy theories through kanye #and it just makes me really fucking sad idk #we are stronger when we are together #like jews have always been at civil rights rallies and fighting for equality of all kinds #we both experience discrimination and persecution from the same people #it isnt a competition white supremacists hate us too #a lot of the antisemitism im seeing from this sample set is the same conspiracies that have been around for thousands of years #about jews controlling minorities #so that they can... idk control the world and oppress white people? #but i cant recall a time where minorities actually started to believe they were being controlled by jews before this sample set #it hurts it really does #anyway ill always support black people and jews and i dont have to choose between the two #i took a course with some incredible professors that are like the forefront academics of african american and african diasporic studies #called the intersectionality of jewishness and blackness #our histories arent just parallel #theyre intertwined #anyway ill get off my soapbox i just have to read this bullshit for my job and it made me upset lol #jumblr #judaism #frumblr #jewblr

Trans people 🤝 transsexuals 🤝 transvestites

Being siblings in arms against those who'd rather bury us (and being mad hot while doing it)

#trans #transgender #transsexual #transvestite #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #lgbt #lgbtq #this is directed especially for those who are triple T people (transgender transsexual transvestite) #like we don't have to be the exact same at all to have similar goals and to defend each other #part of me is sad how much trans+ vocabulary has eroded or has been taken advantage of and twisted #by that i mean the amount of people who've said transgender/transsexual/transvestite like it's a slur or a horrible thing to be #when it is ALL part of gender diverse history. like genuinely if you can't stand the sight of a transsexual or whatever else then... #...that isn't our burden to carry. this pride i hope we can all be co-conspirators. we will always be stronger as one #like how far has strict barriers and scorn for one another gotten us? because i've not seen a ton of progress that way in my experience #anyway. i think the gender diverse community is stronger when we all band together and claim ourselves

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her #and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura #he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life #deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was #he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means. #when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial. #the best he can do at least #he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times. #often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship #but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost. #22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way #Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless #he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it #she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes. #he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone #he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home. #can’t bare to see another shell of a home #he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes #Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon #but promises feel costly these days #he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura #someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here #his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long. #Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place. #clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them #but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here #he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention #he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves. #he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods #he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.

I’m curious about why the fandom rn be going so hard with “Dazai’s weak/Chuuya is stupid” like for starters that’s so incredibly false and the narrative makes that clear. But also, WHY is it so EXTREME with y’all? Dazai can’t be strong because Chuuya’s stronger? Chuuya can’t be smart because Dazai’s smarter? How does that make sense? Especially when the story/narrative directly contradicts that idea?

#like I don’t GET IT #and I’ve been seeing it more lately and I’m so annoyed by it #used to be a characterization you often saw in fic but that’s relatively easy to avoid #NOW THO people be coming up with legit arguments about why this is true #like tf where have you been #also we didn’t think this WIDELY when we DIDNT have all this content about Soukoku specifically but y’all do NOW???? #bungou stray dogs #bsd #nakahara chuuya #dazai osamu #Soukoku #anyway they’re unstoppable because their connection is too op and always was #even in fifteen they come together in a way which is unbeatable #BECAUSE they make each other stronger

i’m losing it over ayan consistently telling akk things he likes about him as they come up and they’re all just about akk existing in the same space as him. of course akk is softening up, everything around him is built on expectations and here’s ayan just telling him all the ways he likes being around him

#i like it when you smile like that #i like it when we eat together #i just like being around you #i like it when you call yourself stoic #but also did you know how cute you are #i will literally fight you on how cute you are #i would be a puddle of goo by now #akk is so strong for this #(stronger than he needs to be. always stronger than he should be expected to be #but that's angst for another time!!) #the eclipse #the eclipse series #julian if you see this!! i saw your message! #i'm going to reply when i'm not half asleep thank you for it <3 #i'm not kidding i literally woke up because i was thinking about this too hard #akkayan need to leave me alone like right now

OOF, we've started to hit "scenes that have aged like milk with the full context of river's reveal!" the doctor speaking with SUCH condescending certainty that river could never be his equal, could never in the world measure up to him in terms of space-time complexity, when arguably river is That And More...i feel two kinds of ways about this, one very colored by my doctor/river softness, one very colored by my writer brain frustration. i shall start with the first one.

i do think that there exists a way to read this as the doctor continuing to write off river and refuse to admit that she could be A Person to him. he doesn't know her, so he does not know enough to make this call, and to tell her she doesn't know what she's talking about when he Doesn't Know Her is patently absurd. he's been digging himself into defensive anger all of this episode, all while floating around her like a lil satellite, not wanting to admit that he does actually absolutely like her, so i do think he would be off-the-cuff harsh with her in a moment like this! plus of course he has another plan + he is not one to let people sacrifice themselves for him when he can avoid it, so character-wise, this tracks.

but the thing is, river is right! and the fact that the narrative sorta has her put up these garden-variety protestations instead of having her go "you really have no fucking clue what you're talking about" yet again showcases the weakness of shifting all melody pond hints all the way into season six, and making all of these hints so tiny that no casual viewer could conceivably knit them all together! this was a moment that needed a hint, and the fact that it doesn't have one turns it into this brutal and uncomfortable dismissal both upon first watch and rewatch.

first watch, the doctor is flat-out saying "you're not as important as me" to someone he's ostensibly starting a flirtationship with, and he is constantly saying things like this to river -- i'd never trust you, you embarrass me, why did you have to be this, etc. which is just VISCERALLY uncomfortable to sit with when we just do not get nearly enough tenderness between them to counterbalance... all of that! (we get tenderness and flirting and silliness, but none of it really outweighs how awful some of the things he says to her are!)

rewatch, WE KNOW RIVER IS RIGHT. full stop. she is a complicated space time event on a level that gets frankly ridiculous. maybe the doctor's been doing this for longer but i truly don't think (at least in new who, can't speak for classic) that anyone's timeline is as consistently fucked and nonsensical as river's. so when the doctor dismisses her and she just keeps going "but i don't want you to die!!!" that seems wildly inconsistent with river's character (or, at the very least, how the narrative seems to want us to view river) -- she definitely keeps her cards close to her chest, but if the doctor is in danger and she knows that her life will work as well as his, she will Literally Die For Him to preserve the timeline. as has been shown to us in the library. this is a moment where i truly think that a consistently written river would have dug her heels in and brought up, rightly, that he does not know her and does not know enough about her to make that call. (and that in itself would feed so beautifully into the doctor's anger/insecurities around not knowing who she is, and being drawn to her despite that! they could start having another married couple fight in front of the angels! so many things are possible that would make this make more sense!)

i think what i am going to keep coming back to over and over is that we did not get enough time with river to make this story feel consistent and planned. we have the skeleton of a story, but we needed foreshadowing, filler moments, episodes where river is just there kinda fucking around with the crew and establishing a rapport with amy and rory. she is simultaneously incredibly important to the doctor and the ponds and a complete stranger who breezes in here and there, and there's more that could be done with that! maybe with LESS of the doctor being a dick to her. (or, at least, same amount of the doctor being a dick to her, but much more of their loosely sketched s7 dynamic, where it's clear he adores her and always hears her and would give up years of his life just to make her feel a tiny bit better!)

#celia watches dw #hhHHHHGHGHGH #i do think it's on brand for river to be super restrained in the face of the doctor's anger #but when we get so much of that doctor being angry/river being restrained combo #it really does become difficult to watch sometimes #some other times are beautiful and cute and it still remains p consistent if messy! #but i think it could have been woven together stronger with more hints in s5. #and this is one of those moments. to me

I’m fairly new to the fandom, but I do have a question if you can answer it! Why do people ship Daigo with Aoki / Masato? I tried looking to see if they’ve interacted before, but couldn’t find anything! Sorry for asking I’m just </3 dumb AND I LOVE YOUR ART OF THEM!!! Nerd looking ahhhhhh

hi ! welcome to the community i hope you're having a lovely time so far and ty for enjoyin my stuff :) no need for apologies it's a very fair question to have :]

i cant speak for everyone (all. ten people into masadai anyway) but Personally To Me i just think the idea of them together is very funny. thats quite literally it im afraid..

#snap chats #//twenty page google doc in the background// ignore that. it's mostly for comedic purposes #might also be my fault idk sorry about that. allegedly. idk ive had like three people tell me they started to ship them cause of me 🧍‍♂️ #@mementoasts is another person who's drawn masadai and whose stuff i love and am inspod by .. i love their disneyland fic sm ... #there was another artist on twitter who posted a neat drawing of them but i cant remember who they were and i didnt bookmark it //screams// #recently there's been ANOTHER masadai artist ive started following on twitter - @wifekiryu. his account's n/s/f/w fyi before you go looking #he has a tumblr too @foxdies. i say cause i realized as much recently vjeaKLGJALKGJ #oh but I GUESS ill get deeper into why. /i/ personally ship masadai or whatever #first off they're opposing factions yet their character alignments Do Not Match their roles. stereotypically anyway #aoki who leads the 'surface' of society and is meant to be an admirable figure and someone 'just' when really. he sucks LMAO #though that's not atypical of politicians but just from a stereotypical This Is A Respectable Individual perspective of his role #daigo on the other hand leads the 'underbelly' of society- yk comprised of dangerous criminals and outcasts and whatnot #yet as we know him daigo's compassionate and considerate of his men- he doesnt treat them like tools like aoki does #if put in a room with the two daigo would be most people's choice of person to hang out with. probably open a trapdoor on aoki tbh #and i think thats really cool and epic i always love that kinda Subverting Expectations thing #theres also the fact they both started off like. edgy/angsty in the franchise and then brush up down the line #masato does a stronger 180. publicly. obviously but its still really funny they both have to get their act together #if you wanna talk about in-text reasons. there really is none LMAO I TELLS YOU masadai is pure crack #but if i wanted to pull a muscle reaching then there's daigo being on aoki's side while everyone else is on arakawa's during the funeral #im lying of course. mitsu was behind him. rgg tryna make me forget mitsu exist .... put him back in y8 .... #and ofc ichi joins that side to even out the seating but moving on another Goofy Reason is arakawa being like #'the chairman and my son are like p much the same age Surely he knows how he thinks :)' #and then i just think daigo being all smarmy about outsmarting aoki is really goofy and im choosing to interpret that as personal #they both also have issues with their dad. s. dad/s/. anyway. #tbh the google doc tag was a joke but i really could sit here and list every dumb reason why i think theyre funny together #like i started going over the tag limit so uhhhh yeah needless to say i have a lot of. dumb reasons 💀💀💀💀 #one day ill use the main text for long rambles like this but todays not that day Point Is my imagination is rampant im afraid #so the short and sweet of it is I Think It's Funny. And They'd Be Terrible Together. Which Is Why It's Funny. #and the unfortunate part is anything i find funny i obsess over for a year so. //gestures to the mountain of bullshit thats my masadai tag/

since nonbinary has had its claws and teeth and wings clipped by people who've turned it into the third gender of whats now a trinary, i think we should expand its definition; what if nonbinary means you dont subscribe to any binary

#no man/woman no sick/well no black/white no religious/secular no east/west no neurodivergent/neurotypical #no cis/trans no binary/nonbinary even (oh no) #no normal/freak no enemy/friend #no past/future #no good/bad #i was gonna say radical solidarity but when you google that you only get like. priests talking about abortion so 😬 #um. why? #why is that #i guess it's the same concept just applied to different things #anyway radical solidarity with the living we're stronger together #sometimes i come across profiles of fellow freaks who want me dead #and im gonna stay out of hitting range im not stupid but im gonna stay on their side #i dont think we can afford not to #told on myself by calling it a side just then huh #i guess i still do believe in a binary #binary of people who try to control others vs the rest #im gonna hold onto that one im with the rest #still if theres people who want to control others but they dont have the POWER to do so #see: fellow freaks #then we're still on the same side until they get the power you know what i mean? #im not gonna attack my side of anti-control i dont think we can afford to #anyway

Appreciate the comment on my Squeak urn and condolences. She was my first cat from a kitten to old cat. She was with me in 3 houses and 3 relationships. She might have been the most closest family I have ever had.... I miss her tremendously and I get tear up every freaking time thinking of her.

Anyway It is not too late to make a piece for Benjamin. He might love to see you work on the art while thinking of him. It doesn't have to be an urn.

Anyway appreciate the condolences again. Peace.

Of course!! I think pets bring out the best in people, especially when it comes to art. I’m sure Squeak loves what you made, and knows how much she meant to you.

And you’re right, it’s never too late to make a piece. I think you’ve actually inspired me to make something for Benjamin. I got him as a kitten when I was 6, and he was my best friend all the way through college. I’m not much good with ceramics, but I weave and sew. Maybe I can make a tapestry for him :)

#pet loss is hard. it took me months before I was able to be okay with Benjamin’s loss #but eventually the grief gave way to fond memories #I still miss him dearly. but it hurts less. when I think of him I think of all the things we went through together #instead of thinking about the last few days when he got really sick #it takes a while. but the grief won’t last forever #I think happy memories are stronger than the sad ones. it’s what you remember most

You've broken someone else's bone???

[id: the "say the line bart" meme edited to say "say the line ash." bart says "well i've never broken one of my OWN bones" and the class cheers /end id]

thank you to my lovely partner for making this <3 and yes i broke both bones in my sisters forearm when she was in 4th grade and i was in 2nd grade <3

#maybe she should have simply had stronger bones. or not tied her ankles together with a napkin #maybe we shouldnt have been playing at the only square of concrete in the entire grass lawn #maybe i shouldnt have covered her mouth when she screamed for our mom #whos to say- #shoutout to my sister tho i love her so much she is amazing and wonderful and deserves the world. sorry for breaking ur arm- #ask #smallswarmofbees

light and misa's "relationship" is rlly tragic and fucked but also in an isolated state its really fucking funny. ESPECIALLY if you consider them both to be arospec like i do

#misa is like ''oh light my wonderful boyfriend~!! we need to go on a date we haven't been on one in so long!'' #(i know that when you're dating you're supposed to go on dates. so we have to go on a date every so often to assure me that i'm getting a #good grade in Having a Boyfriend something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve) #and then light is like (internally) 'i would literally rather kill myself than spend time with her but i need her for my purposes so i have #to appease her' (externally) ''ok sure i guess misa'' #and then they go to a restaurant and misa waits for him to kiss her the whole night (she does not attempt to herself) #meanwhile light just sits there and goes nonverbal for long extended periods of time while he monologues in his head about how to appear #like a normal (straight) human being (spoiler: he's really bad at this) #and every so often he'll be like ''you look nice. this food is good. other boring pleasantries'' while glaring as if he's poisoned her food #THEY LIVED LIKE THIS FOR 4 YEARS. #again. awful. but also kind of fucking funny. gay aroace guy and aroace girl going through the motions of a heterosexual relationship for 4 #whole years. they hate each other for sure dawg ToT obvs misa to a lesser extent but i think she definitely had a lot subconscious hate for #light. that only got stronger the longer things went on #also during this time they definitely had sex a Single Time because they got to a point where misa was like we've been dating for like #2 years normal couples usually sleep together way before then...... and light was like. LOUD SIGH. ok #it was terrible. neither of them enjoyed it and they never spoke of it again #gee wonder why that was (holding the ace spectrum behind my back) #anyways they're so awful im obsessed w them. awful apart and even WORSE together. it's beautiful #then you throw L in this mix and it gets even funnier and MORE awful #(he's bi aroace to me btw. for the record) #serena.txt #death note posting

#things like this are funny because obviously it was just a fun thing the writers added or maybe they didn't think much about it #but we get to have fun trying to come up with in universe reasons why they did this #because this is the worst most inefficient solution they had. the lasso throwing alone is so much effort. also why is donna sitting on a #bike and throwing from the ground when she can fly? and why are they tying the hand for the whole town to pull when donna is stronger #than all of them put together and can probably take it down alone with less effort? can wally not just do his mini tornado thing? #if it's even necessary after donna brings the hand to the ground #my answer: those teenagers wanted to prove they could rule the town/be responsible and asked to be included #so donna and wally were like sure why not? #and bonus dick and garth get to feel included too :) #donna troy #wally west #🧃
