-> open the stalker 2 stream just to see how the game looks

-> immediately see people in chat arguing about how civilian vs. military casualties are at a historic low because russia is so cautious and doesn't want any unnecessary civilian deaths, which is why "they don't carpet bomb cities"

-> close the stream

russia does what it can to destroy us. They physically can't carpet bomb cities because they don't have the air superiority needed to do so. Their warplanes would be shot down, and that's the only thing stopping them - not humanism. That's why they bomb us with cruise missiles and drones. But the cities closer to the frontline? Yeah, you bet your sweet cheeks they’re bombing those into rubble with heavy glide bombs. Please, people, if you don’t know what you’re talking about, maybe just shut up? ffs

On the day of my beautiful beloved homeland being hit with an intercontinental ballistic missile, I think it would be very cool if we all reported a “Russian aesthetic” account who was “smart” enough to consider this as something “fitting their theme”. Not to mention having a history of being a simp for the Russian military even before that.

Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.

This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.

as a person whose family survived the actual literal pogroms in ukraine in the early 1900s and had to flee to america in order to survive i cant describe how it feels watching you people label a bunch of IOF reservists chanting "finish the arabs" rightfully get the shit kicked out of them a pogrom. you zionists and zionist sympathizers make a big deal about holocaust comparisons making light of the suffering of our people, but then you turn around and pull this shit. do you have any idea the kind of devastation the actual pogroms wreaked on jewish communities and families? on my family? the people who got beat up in amsterdam were not beat up for being jewish, they were beat up for running through the streets chanting genocidal rhetoric. do you guys also think richard spencer shouldnt have been punched? you people make me sick

Zionists love to ask me, "How would you fare in Gaza?" to which I love to respond, "How would I get to Gaza?" This first question, like many transphobic heckles that I have received from Zionists, is an Althusserian hail. According to Althusser (1971), the hail serves to interpolate the individual into the subject, to bring the individual into ideology. The noble identification of "gay friendly" Tel Aviv's gift to all queers is a hail—an interpolation of the transgender body into an always already indebted subject position, one enmeshed in a "cycle of debt." Under the Zionist economy of gratitude, the transgender subject is perpetually indebted to capitalism and the West for allowing her to exist. The properly delimited space for the transgender subject within this ideology is essentially one confined to an apoliticized space of pride parades and gay bars, but never the front lines of an anti-imperial or anticolonial project. It is a queer/transphobic assault against those visibly queer bodies who refuse to be properly disciplined neoliberal queer consumers—and transgender bodies are often the most visibly queer bodies and hence the ones singled out for attack. As one cannot return the gift to the one who gave it (in this case because the Zionist disidentified from his own queerphobia), the transgender subject is forced to pass it along—to Palestinians. Hence, the queerphobic Zionist can pass the gift of his racist colonial phobia as well as his queerphobia on to the transgender subject. The projection allows the Zionist to disidentify from the transphobia inherent in his hail. This is particularly important, since it is precisely the violent transphobia—"what are you?"—that is an incitement to vulnerability. I am supposed to feel vulnerable, afraid, attacked by this hail, in order that I may pass on that gift of death to the supposedly transphobic Palestinian.

happy ace week to everyone but this post is specifically for:

the aspecs who don't know what the fuck is up with their sexual attraction

the aspecs who don't understand attraction at all

the aspecs who bounce around between labels and can never pick one that fits you

basically all the aspecs who have ever been confused abt their asexuality

you're fucking VALID and i support you!! i know it sucks to be confused and to not know how to describe your experience. it's going to work out, i promise. and in the meantime, try not to get TOO hung up on labels. they're meant to help us understand ourselves, not to define us. you're amazing 💜
