Keir Starmer: Israel Has The Right To Kill

These so-called leaders keep giving Israel the green light to commit genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

They supply that Rogue state with weapons to commit genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Then they consistently validate that pariah's genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The Substance

short version: five out of five stars, I had so much fun, for God's sake read the CWs. there are so many needles in this.

further thoughts: I think the viciousness of this movie rests on Elisabeth (Demi Moore) having built her career on promoting the very same unattainable beauty standards that she finds herself in conflict with. It's no coincidence that she's not just an actress, she's a celebrity fitness instructor. Going on TV every morning to tell us all that our bodies aren't good enough. She threw her lot in whole-heartedly with the beauty merchants, she preened and profited, and then she was shocked -- shocked! -- when they inevitably, predictably turned on her.

It's also telling that once she's injected the titular Substance and generated a new, young, beautiful version of herself, what does she do? She goes right back to the same business as before. Being sexier, fitter, more desirable than anyone else. Telling everyone their bodies still aren't good enough. Well, why not? Even her own body wasn't good enough for her anymore.

Coralie Fargeat has zero fucking sympathy for her and I feel the same. Oh, is it hard now? Is it alienating and dehumanizing and humiliating? Did you never bother developing yourself as a person because you were too busy peddling feminine oppression for Dennis Quaid, of all people? Fuck you! Suffer harder! You are complicit!

I would love to know how this lands for conventionally attractive women -- I never put in a sustained effort of this kind because it was made quite clear to me from a young age that the "right" kind of beauty would not be available to me. That comes with its own pain and its own fantasies about a "perfect" version of myself, but I suspect it's a different set.

I also wonder what trans women think of it, because while it's a very cis woman story (in that Elisabeth has always been a conventionally attractive girl and woman) it's also like... about transforming into a more desirable version of yourself, which, come on.

Finally, I feel like there's some disability commentary to be had in here, though that's not a subject I'm well versed in. I did find myself thinking, from time to time, that to many people it would be very tempting to have a body with no pain, a body that always moved easily and performed all its functions with no trouble. Even if only sometimes.

Ho scoperto di avere mani, quando me le hai prese, di avere labbra, perché tu le baciavi. Di essere donna, ogni volta che mi hai spogliato. 🦋

Quando scegliamo qualcuno, stiamo scegliendo anche il suo passato.

Quindi anche se non è nostro compito curare i traumi e le ferite degli altri, in un certo senso ne siamo comunque responsabili.

Dobbiamo conoscere la loro storia e fare in modo di non essere come quella parte del loro passato che gli ha causato sofferenza.

Quando scegliamo qualcuno, dobbiamo sostenerlo mentre cerca di alleggerire i suoi pesi e guarire.

E questo non significa dipendenza, ma complicità.

This week we’re commemorating and highlighting Aaron Bushnell ahead of the anniversary of his actions in protest of the U.S. participation in the gеnocidе of Palеstinians. His actions have deeply resonated with military members and veterans, inspiring them to take action through their own acts of resistance.

If you’re a member of the military who is morally conflicted by your service or know someone who is, you’re not alone.
