#Obama Reading

[sleepyconfusedpotato]

Just a thought but I think it's kind of crazy that I've heard Ghost's voice so much now, that every time I read fics or when I daydream/write my own fics, I can literally hear Ghost's voice in my head.

Like, the tone, the timbre of his voice; even the manner of his speech are so ingrained in my head like a system that when I read a sentence I can hear his voice saying it. Now whenever I see quotation marks ("..."), there's a switch in my brain where it just changes into Ghost's voice saying it and it's hella believable.

Is it just me or are y'all are as insane with your blorbos as I am?

The most important stuff I've learned I think I've learned from novels. - Barack Obama (b. 4 August 1961)

Frankly, no, “Zionists cynically weaponize antisemitism to silence criticism of Israel” just isn’t a thing.

Let me be clear:

I am not saying no one in the history of the world has ever incorrectly accused someone of antisemitism or cynically misused the existence of antisemitism to justify awful shit, but this is not more true of antisemitism than any other bigotry. If someone were to doubt most claims of racism & homophobia by default, and accuse NAACP or BLM of “weaponizing anti-Blackness” or GLAAD of “weaponizing homophobia”, we would all rightly understand that as bigotry, but when Jews & the ADL discuss antisemitism, we are usually dismissed & accused of “weaponizing antisemitism” by other progressives.

I am also not saying that Israel’s government has not unfairly suppressed criticism & engaged in an overextension of censorship in the name of antisemitism. In my opinion, it has. But a) if you do not live in Israel, this censorship is not something you experience, and b) Israel overreaching & overreacting to perceived threats is not the same thing as the accusation of sneakily, cynically lying about antisemitism to “deceive the world” that is leveled in the “weaponizing antisemitism” claim.

Like any other group, Jews are not a monolith; Jews disagree about what is or isn’t antisemitic. Inevitably some of them will be wrong. Some may even have terrible, awful—perhaps even far right—politics & views about what to do about antisemitism. But that does not change the fact that the threat of antisemitism is very real to Jews & every single Jew has every reason to fear it—yes, even the ones with terrible, awful politics.

So stop treating antisemitism like it’s a weapon Jews (Zionist or not) are trying to use to trick & manipulate you, and idk, maybe start by treating it as the bigoted, often existential threat we experience it as & try to engage with Jews on the actual merits of what we say and do?

scrolling through people talking about the eye theory on twitter, man, there’s just so much to the eye theory that casual people haven’t ever bothered to read through like, it’s its own iceberg! there’s depth, there’s angles, there’s volume, there’s meta, it always makes me giggle to see it spoken about like it’s something with 5-10 pieces of evidence that was thought up yesterday 😆

one sentiment i keep seeing that i dont get is the idea that hillary clinton is somehow “seething” because there’s a female candidate who isnt her. and like. she’s not. she got behind kamala right away, along with the rest of democratic establishment. believe me, she wants donald trump’s blood way more than anything else. when the crowd started chanting “lock him up” during her speech (a rousing speech in support of harris btw) during the dnc, she looked the happiest ive ever seen her. there’s obviously a million things to criticize about clinton and democrats in general, but this sentiment just really illustrates that some of you a) are not actually engaged with us politics at all beyond what you see in memes, and b) fell really hard for a conservative smear campaign and simply have not bothered to examine that since

✨️My wacky Sonic AU ideas that i have scrapped and hidden away in my gallery to never be seen again✨️

(Read the Alt Text to know more info)

These doodles/concepts are kinda old, but i just never really showed or talked about them because i thought they seemed a bit too silly..

I was so obsessed with Sonic Frontiers to the point where i made a 'What-if' scenario where that whole thing with Hyper Sonic would actually come true and would be the form to defeat The End (This was back when the updates hadn't released yet, i think)

And this? Well uh...

I guess this was the design i gave Sonic for an "After Frontiers" AU...? I honestly can't remember.

But stay tuned! Once i have my tablet charged up and ready, I'll update this blog to post some more wacky Sonic AU concepts that I also scrapped away👍

another piece of relevant information i think you all need to know from the hypster magazine is that hitoya recently published a book!!!!

the book itself is irrelevant tho, he held a book talk and signing event and all hundred or so seats sold out since y’know, the hypmic boys are technically idols in their universe and everyone wants to see drb participants, but bc of that a bunch of tickets had been scalped and only a handful showed up so hitoya got on the phone and called a bunch of people and got the scalpers arrested, some of which were in the crowd, and there was cheering, the audience clapped and obama was there—

someone on Reddit was commenting about Biden, questioning why it took so long for him to drop out of the race, and why he even ran for a second term to begin with.

and, it's like, sometimes it's hard convincing Grandpa to put away the Car Keys. sometimes Grandpa has his license taken away by The State after having put foot down on the accelerator rather than the brake, launching the Camry through the storefront window of his Local T-Mobile.

I'm not going to explain this stupid crappy doodle lmao

[dingodad]

not to be annoying but could you explain the thing about (vriska) being a reference to an obama meme? i was not on the internet at the time and would like to know. no problem if you dont wanna

before there was a vriska and a (vriska) when people said vriska (vriska) it was a reference to this

i dont think the comic ever did anything to explicitly confirm (vriska) was intentionally referring to this meme but this is absolutely what everyone was talking about when (vriska) was first introduced
