Hi Nay out of context writing discussions:

"So he wants to cut him open and crawl inside him, but in a sexy way"

I forgot to update this when it happened but Duterte was arrested by the ICC because people, especially women in the Philippines, never stopped working to bring him to justice. Dr. Raquel Fortun examined the bodies of drug war victims and the evidence she found is being used in the case. Photographers like Raffy Lerma and Ezra Acayan took photos of the many killings by police.

People like Jude Sabio, Antonio Trillanes, members of the Magdalo partylist, and Leila de Lima, submitted the case to the ICC, then activists and family members of the victims led by the National Union of People's Lawyers also submitted documents to the ICC.

People like Patricia Evangelista and Maria Ressa continued to bring his crimes to light internationally.

People like Risa Hontiveros have never stopped representing the people instead of corruption in the government, even with the dangers.

All this, alongside the continuous work of activists, is what helped us get to this point. Sara Duterte in impeachment proceedings because of her corruption as Vice President. Rodrigo Duterte in the ICC awaiting trial. After 7 years, because they never stopped working towards justice.

The work always matters.

Maybe it's just me as a Filipino who has lived through a murderous dictatorship and oligarchies in a queerphobic country controlled by the rich who brutalize grassroots pro worker movements all under the military abuse of US imperialism but...

You just gotta keep showing up. Support each other. Don't just fight for yourself. The work is hard, but you just gotta keep doing it. You'll always see results, even if they're not always the ones you want, or as big as you want them to be.

All your work always matters. Even if it doesn't feel like it at first. It always matters.

Sexiest Podcast Character 2024 — Scripted Undefeated Bracket — Round 3

Propaganda

Jonathan Harker (Re: Dracula):

#tim i love you but JONATHAN SWEEP #is there anything sexier than vowing to follow your love into hell? to turn on your friends to join her? #to sharpen your kukri with steady cold hands? to go from a polite and scared solicitor to a determined man bouncing at the chance to kill- #your and your wife’s abuser? to go through hell and come out the otherside fighting? #and yet be willing to enter said hell as one of its demons for your love? to betray all for her despite seeing exactly what said hell has to #offer?

Mod Note: This is only the Jonathan Harker from the podcast Re: Dracula. Do not vote on the basis of any other Jonathan Harker.

Mari Datuin (Hi Nay):

Shes pan, shes fillipina, she might be God. She talked to the cops without a lawyer, and let them into her home without a lawyer [DONT DO THAT] but she did it for the plot. She’s gorgeous, shes chubby, she loves bubble tea. She was the mediator/ divorce lawyer for a breakup between two of her friends. She has reasonable beef with old people, shes fighting a cult, she is viciously allergic to therapy. Objectively a Character Of All Time. Listen to the podcast if you haven’t.

Additional propaganda below the cut:

Jonathan Harker (Re: Dracula):

At last, proper recognition for our boy Jonny!

#HOT JONNO RIGHTS #nothing is sexier than deciding you’ll become a monster alongside your wife

Mari Datuin (Hi Nay):

#in her defence the cops were hot but also she was wrong for that even if she ends up loving them ; do not let cops into your house #character of all time 🥹

#MARI SWEEP

#i don't go here but i read filipina and felt my pinoy pride shine through

#<- you should go here come to the dark side

#Mari is the sexiest sexy podcast character she has it ALL

This is propaganda for all the female characters. Voters please remember how pretty all women are and factor that into every single vote you make. Thank you.

Before finding podcasts, specifically hi nay, it was always either an option between queer person and a poc. I mean, I’m not one of those people who always struggled to find representation in media, but I’ve never found anyone… like me (both queer and poc).

So shoutout to hi nay for being the first piece of fiction media I’ve listened to with characters who are both bipoc AND queer.

I’ve got other bipoc podcasts on my list too to listen to. But hi nay is extremely special to me for that reason.

"Anyone can become the Nazis, that's what's happening in America now"

Weren't the Nazis specifically inspired by America and its racist Jim Crow policies?

Didn't the Americans commit large scale genocides, killing over 4 million native Americans and 200,000-1 million Filipinos long before World War 2? Haven't they been committing atrocities and war crimes overseas ever since?

Why do people still pretend White America just "became" Nazis when they were Nazis before the Nazis? I get wanting to imagine a better country, but if you have to erase history to do it, there's something very, very wrong.

Even before his friend and fellow Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil was arrested by immigration authorities, Mahdawi asked university administrators to help him find a safe place to live so he would not be taken by ICE agents, according to emails reviewed by The Intercept. The school did nothing in response, Mahdawi said.

After ICE abducted Khalil last month, Mahdawi sheltered in place for more than three weeks for fear of being picked up himself. 

Instead of taking him off the street, however, immigration authorities scheduled the citizenship test at the Colchester USCIS office and took Mahdawi into custody when he arrived.

Now, Mahdawi is facing an order to deport him to the occupied West Bank, where escalating attacks from both the Israeli military and Jewish settlers have led to increased casualties among Palestinians.

“It’s kind of a death sentence,” Mahdawi said. “Because my people are being killed unjustly in an indiscriminate way.”

…

Earlier this month, Mahdawi received an email from USCIS notifying him that he was scheduled to conduct an interview to obtain his U.S. citizenship. He said he was expecting the interview to take place in December or January, in line with the expected timeline to move from his green card status through the naturalization process. When he received the email, however, he was worried it might be a trap. 

In anticipation of the worst, Mahdawi contacted his representatives in Congress, including Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Peter Welch, D-Vt., as well as Rep. Becca Balint, D-Vt., to make them aware of his situation and ask them to intervene if possible.

Mahdawi said he spoke personally with Welch, who said his office would be on standby pending what happened with Mahdawi’s case. Offices for Sanders and Balint said they would remain on standby pending news of Mahdawi’s status after the interview. (Welch, Sanders, and Balint did not immediately respond to requests for comment.)

Question for audio drama ppl because I don't listen to enough other horror podcasts but is there another horror podcast where the protag or one of the main characters is an interesting and nuanced black guy because the only one I know is Donner Hi Nay but I know there's others in non horror audio drama

I'm mostly interested in horror podcasts though so does anyone know of any there? Major characters are fine but I'm curious about main characters specifically

(also for those who don't know Donner is an unlabeled but definitely Queer man with lots of baggage and I love him)

Anyway while I'm on Hi Nay these aren't main characters but they're major ones so I just wanted to UwU over them as well

(J was s journalist from the 1970s who solved supernatural cases and Jack Robin/John Isaac came from a black millionaire family in the 1920s)

((all art comes from the official Hi Nay acct))

I'm planning to make some Hi Nay prints for delivery, and wanted to ask people: around how much would you be willing to pay for a 6.5x8.5 or 7x9 colour print in USD?

On a related note, what about a sticker sheet of around the same size?

Or both?

This guy actually went to rescue his boyfriend instead of his codependent work partner he's been romantically (?) obsessed with for years and had such a crisis over it he immediately broke up with the boyfriend. NOW I am invested

Pleasure is healthy, always be suspicious of people who are against it on principle alone

Research has shown that pleasure affects nutrient absorption. In a 1970s study of Swedish and Thai women, it was found that when the Thai women were eating their own (preferred) cuisine, they absorbed about 50% more iron from the meal than they did from eating the unfamiliar Swedish food. And the same was true in the reverse for the Swedish women. When both groups were split internally and one group given a paste made from the exact same meal and the other was given the meal itself, those eating the paste absorbed 70% less iron than those eating the food in its normal state.

Pleasure affects our metabolic pathways; it’s a facet of the complex gut-brain connection. If you’re eating foods you don’t like because you think it’s healthy, it’s not actually doing your body much good (it’s also unsustainable, we’re pleasure-seeking creatures). Eat food you enjoy, it’s a win-win.
