Friendly reminder that sexualizing/blorbofying Luigi Mangione and your support for him being a quirky little trending meme is exactly why 1. he's been almost forgotten about when any other time his actions would've had far more rippling consequences, 2. why nothing will ever get done in this fucking ass country, much less the positive-- if violent-- change we need, and 3. goes to show the sheer imbecility of the "lol be gay do crimes" demographic.
Where was your support for Briana Boston, who was falsely arrested just for quoting him? Oh, right, she's not a conventionally attractive white man for you to turn into your next Tumblr sexyman.
#Why do I even bother expecting anything out of the same group that sanitized a rebellion statement into a cute uwu callsign#But are too scared to shoplift and would DEFINITELY snitch on someone during an ICE raid if they believed said person didn't#live up to their chronically online neoliberal morals? You assholes couldn't even boycott chick-fil-a. You fell for Tiktok's propaganda for#a dopamine hit. You hide your head in the sand and make up the most inane bullshit to tear eachother apart with to distract#yourselves from ALL THE REAL FUCKING PROBLEMS. There's no way we're getting a revolution‚ and if we do‚ you all will be on the#wrong side. But heaven forbid you forget to preface your ukulele apology video with a “tw p0l1t1cs”.#politics#uspol#us politics#america#american politics#luigi mangione#claims adjuster#briana boston#deny defend depose#current events#capitalism#liberals#brian thompson#usa#united healthcare#uhc#ice raids#la migra#trump administration

i've been seeing a lot of people talking about how Luigi might actually get sentenced to prison for life or for a long time (like 15/20/25 years) and that they'd be okay with it????? because at least he'll get to be alive and hopefully get out???? this sounds absolutely insane to me for a few reasons
do y'all realistically think he wouldn't be killed some other way if they're unable to kill him by death penalty??? that boy has no safety in any prison anywhere, he'd be killed within a year or two max!!!! don't let him get Epstein-ed y'all!!!! he deserves better
killing him would unfortunately be very very easy for the government and justified from their end, he's become a symbol of resistance against the oligarchy and is already being seen as a martyr for the people's causes. but he is no martyr!!! he is not a symbol!!! he's a human being!!! he's like any one of us!!! he doesn't deserve to have his right to life taken away from him by some greedy assholes who want no good for anybody in this world
given what the public loves to speculate on his mental health issues (by this i mean depression and possibly suicide ideation), it'd be very very easy to do away with him and make it appear like he killed himself and the worst bit is that the public would probably accept it as the truth this shouldn't happen y'all
given what we know about his health issues and what we know about the fact that he loved travelling and would defo want to live life to the fullest, taking away his freedom and giving him the possibility of growing old in prison and then maybe, at best, getting out years later would absolutely crush him. and even if it didn't, the authorities would have a very viable excuse to say he killed himself and honestly i think he might too if it comes to that
people in New York, please don't let him be killed in any way he deserves to live and whether you believe in his innocence or not, i think we can all agree he did a good thing, he shouldn't have to suffer more than he already has have some compassion and kindness and try to look at him as a fellow human and not whatever the media wants you to believe
anyways go find out about JURY NULLIFICATION!!! the power is in your hands, especially New Yorkers. don't let us down :)
#it doesn't matter if he wanted to kill himself before/after/around the time he got arrested#he probably doesn't think/feel that way anymore#and even if he does he deserves to have the chance to live#we humans can't give life to anybody but we can take it away so easily#legal murder in any form should not exist (death penalty/denying healthcare etc.)#yet americans not only tolerate it but support it wholeheartedly#i was initially shocked at how little humanity is left behind in some so called humans#do better!!!#also if OJ walked away because it was a protest for Rodney King then Luigi deserves to walk away#for saving y'all's sorry asses from being bulldozed over by the serious lack of healthcare#get your head out of whatever sand y'all are immersed in!!!#the french didn't help y'all become independent and then cause the french revolution for y'all to forget all that history#but then again i'm not entirely too sure how many commoners in usa are actually aware of world history atp anymore#anyways#luigi mangione#free luigi#jury nullification

I miss them so bad (Dick and Damian)
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#damian wayne#dick grayson#ITS JUST NOT THE SAME MAN#idk i was reading nightwing must die (again...) bc i was in a funk and saw another post saying how fans exaggerate the closeness btwn them#and on the one hand i get it. there is a very rosy portrayal of their relationship you'll come across in fanon#and they weren't very close at the beginning of their relationship#but man. reading Nightwing must die again was like#YES they fight. damian instigates it and while dick tries to exercise patience he does fight back/lash out on occasion#but despite all that it's still emphasized how important the two are to each other#when dick is forced to picture a future where he's lost his way he pictures damian being the one to bring him back#not necessarily bc damian is his favorite person on the planet but bc he gave damian robin. for a lot of practical reasons-#-but also bc how far damians come is (i think at least based on this arc) a testament to dick that hes doing Something right#both as a hero/person#damian is more than just a burden saddled on him (although there's an element of that in their batman and robin run)#he's also a last remaining connection to bruce when he's gone (remembering where he comes from) AND he's training damian+#-his own way! with a dash of tough love and workaholic spirit inherited but also a lot of patience and focus on being More than the darkness#idc what ppl say nightwing must die makes sense for these two. its a retcon but one that works imo#that dick buried his head in the sand about how much damian meant/the responsibility he had to him bc it was a commitment he was afraid of#and how damian ultimately was a point of maturation for dick even if he went back to being Nightwing#they were SO goddamn close and now they're still close but only in ways that are implied#and their bond is deemphasized in comparison to each others bond w/ say bruce. which i think is a shame#it was a wrinkle! a fun wrinkle that the batfamily had that in some ways dick understood damian better than Bruce-#-even if he didn't feel like he could handle the responsibility of raising him full time#it kills me that bc of the n52 we never got the handover of the batman mantle (and damian) from dick to bruce#next nightwing writer...include a flashback to that moment AND have damian appear in the book in present....AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!#anyway. dick is damians brother but also damian a little bit imprinted on him like a baby duck and its rubbed off on dick#they're partners they're mentor mentee but most importantly they were batman and robin. and they were the greatest#NOT bc it was all peaches and roses but bc they cared for each other exponentially despite all that

Person: *is adamant using the r-slur as a pejorative is fine and dandy and is sad that 'wokescold blue haired moms' took it away from them but any use of the word queer either academically or descriptively is horrendous and deeply offensive*
Bro, I think... I think we gotta get you outta the 90's, man. The words? They did done change. Language evolves and changes and the broader culture can reconsider their opinions on them and these two terms? They did that. That happened.
Amazing. Lots of people talking about it. Sorry you missed that moment, but perhaps uuuuuhhh go outside and talk to people who aren't brainrotted internet goblins.
#this is my prescription#like you can just not enjoy the word queer#thats fine. i would not call you that if you dont want me to#but at some point you have to take your head out of the sand and realize its been an academic term for....a while#also fascinating this type of person is nostalgic for a time when it was okay to use a derogatory insult without getting flak#and yet hates the reclaimed word being used for bringing together a community of disparate sexualities and genders#both in an academic sense and in a sense of shared experience and togetherness#very telling about how one views the world

No neighborhood is completely safe! Sadly, I have neighbors who also think they don't have to guard against home invasions. I hope they never have a reason to regret it.

Hey, just a reminder that what's happening in Palestine and Gaza is still very real. Please don't ignore it or stop talking about it. People are still being killed and tortured to this day.
#and genuinely I really don't care if this isn't your style of posts or I'm disturbing your escapism#we all have to face reality#we can't just bury out heads in sand and consume fiction while real people are suffering every day#the fact I'm getting desperate enough to post about this on my side blogs and not just my main blog should alarm you#the fact people are mentioning this outside of their personal space and accounts should alarm you#and hopefully make you realise how real this is#how it isn't something you get to filter out or ignore

chat does true love exist
#🌙.txt#i don't want to get into too much detail but i'm sitting here crying and genuinely ruminating over this now#i wrote my ocs and their relationships with all of the wishes and dreams i had for my own hypothetical one#was i just naive or an idiot or delusional or had my head too far in the clouds bc this is not it#it doesn't help that my parents come from a culture where you have to put aside your own personal comfort and boundaries#just to make other people and happy and satisfied. pretend and everything will magically work out.#i'm just not that kind of person who can do stuff like that i am incapable of pretending. i would rather eat sand than act fake#sorry for the whiny tags LOL *blows nose*

I’m hoping that this is as “angry” as I’ll get with a comic, but given how the world is shaping up politically at the moment, I fear that might not be the case.
It’s been incredibly eye opening to witness the degree to which some people I know are willing to bury their heads in the sand in order to avoid the reality of the awful things that are happening around them. Awful things that they were told were going to happen.
In America, people are being black bagged and shipped off to El Salvador without due process to be held indefinitely in prisons, with the current administration now making social media posts cruelly boasting that they’ll never return.
Make no mistake, if people are being kidnapped by the government, given no due process, and are shipped to a foreign nation to be held in prison with no intention to give them any legal recourse, we need to call these prisons what they are:
They are death camps.
The United States of America is rounding up “undesirables” and sending them to death camps.
There are people in this country that voted for this. No matter how nice they otherwise seem or claim to be, these people are evil to the core.
There are also people who didn’t vote for this, but do provide social validation and acceptance to those who did.
If you are someone who thinks you’re against fascism, but you also accept fascists in your life, you are a fascist.
There can be no acceptance of intolerance. In the comic, the person I’m lampooning is the “Fake Trans Ally”, but you can swap out “trans” for any other group of marginalized people. Frankly, just call this person “The Fake Ally.”
If you’re someone reading this and feel attacked because I’m calling you a fake ally, it’s time to do some soul searching. When the history books are written about this period of American history, are you going to be someone who was unambiguously against hatred, or were you someone that treated hate as acceptable?
Were you someone that invited hatred into your home?
Were you someone that shared a meal with hatred?
Were you someone that allowed hatred a safe haven?
If you’re someone that does that, you yourself are hateful.
When you accept hate, you do so at the expense of those who are the target of that hatred.
Be better, our lives depend on it.
