#SOMEONE SAVE US

[bd-wlf]

I feel like Wildflower and Barley and Nobody's Soldier are two songs that fit with the current vibes I'm picking up

Yes I'm talking about the election

Fucking christ

I'm going to try and stay positive right now despite the heaping pile of flaming shit that is currently getting ready to take back the presidency

Good lord

The influx of new watchers from the netflix dropout is great, but once again...

new Black Sails watchers who complain that it isn't gay enough...

Why is it that 'gay' to you is only two men kissing? why do you need soft uwu romance with two men you can sexualize for it to 'count' as gay. why don't women count. why doesn't the scar of lost love count. why don't bisexuals count?

To hammer it in - Why don't the lesbians count? and don't 'cishetero male gaze' me. I'm a lesbian and i enjoy watching Anne and Max fuck. see the point above - lets be honest here 'queer enough' is when you can fetishize gay men. Your fetish is gay men.

The lesbians and violence are too 'cishetero male gaze'. I think this one pisses me off the most. Most Black Sails fans are queer. Most of the fandom are queer. Interestingly enough its the 'allies' I hear this from the most. Not every queer piece of media is going to be soft boys gently falling in angsty love. some times it's violence, sometimes it's lesbians, sometimes is queerness being a person and not a titillating makeout scene between two abercrombie models.

Maybe admit that you're not actually an A+ ally, you have a fetish for queer men. Which like...we all have fetishes, but you don't get to deem a queer piece of media 'not queer enough' just because you couldn't get your fix from it. Black Sails is queer from episode 1. fucking grow up

Like to be clear, I also disagree with the current marketing of the Netflix Black Sails drop as 'forget about OFMD this is the greatest queer pirate show'. For some people, OFMD is their purest representation. THAT'S FINE. for an angry gender queer lesbian like me, it's Black Sails. I mean....It is my favorite show, ad you don't have the right to invalidate my experience by saying it's 'not queer enough'.

I go back to what that one blogger said when OFMD first came out. Recommending Black Sails to OFMD fans is like recommending Hannibal to B99 fans because they're both cop shows. Not every OFMD fan is going to want to engage with the violence and overt sexuality of Black Sails, AND THAT'S FINE. It's got similar themes but it's a different genre entirely, and you don't have to like it. But that doesn't make it any less queer, how dare you even insinuate that.

"Well how else am I supposed to survive on my own in this unlivable economy?!? Food costs as much as the utility bills, and health insurance costs more than rent! I'd have to work 2 full-time jobs and share a 1 bedroom apartment with 5 other people to cover the cost of living with minimum wage this low! What does your 'book of wisdom' say about that? Does it have any REAL solutions in it, or is it just a how-to guide to increasing the poverty gap?"

The elder stepped forward slowly. In one hand, his crooked staff, in the other, the book of wisdom. “Hunters do not harvest. Harvesters do not heal. Healers do not hunt. You have broken the great tradition. Explain yourself.”

People seem to think this is fake because it's written in English. Apart from the racism in believing that Arab doctors and nurses aren't fluent in English (a second or official language for half of Asia), Palestinians have deliberately been addressing their audience in English on every social media, from journalists to children, because they know speaking English to Westerners immediately makes people more human in their eyes. Because language is one of the ways the imperial cultural hegemony conditions us (yes, everyone in the world) to see who qualifies as "people" and who are simply a mass of bodies who were always made to suffer and die. Gazans know this deeply, which is why they have been using English to beg and plead through social media, "We're not numbers! We're not numbers! We're people like you, we speak your language, we deserve to live!" all the while they're systematically slaughtered.

Israeli forces also encircled Al Shifa Hospital yesterday and bombed it for several hours while shooting dead anyone trying to flee including medical staff moving between buildings. Not sure whether it's still continuing because WHO lost all communications with its staff there a few hours after. The last new report said that thirty-nine babies had been removed from the incubators before the power went out. It's extremely unlikely they will survive.

Please understand that these atrocities depend on the war of attrition between governments and public attention. The momentum of public outcry is difficult to sustain through repeated stonewalling and bureaucratic intractability. When we're flooded with these reports and a sense of futility and despair replaces the anger, it allows compassion fatigue to set in and the violence to become normalized. Massacring hospitals, killing sick children and openly targeting humanitarian aid workers (Netanyahu just declared the UNRWA is in league with Hamas) will become simply more news articles that fade into the background, and open genocides will soon become part of the "lesser evil".

Take care of yourselves how you can, take distance where needed, but please never tune out and give up on the two million people for whom we are the only witness and hope. Never stop boosting and sharing the news and posts you find, never stop getting out there and joining every protest you can, however small. Anger burns out, which is why activism must depend on an immovable sense of justice and uncompromising value for human life. It's not just about Gaza, it's about the kind of evil our generation will be coerced into accepting as unchangeable and inevitable hereafter.

waaaagh...

On one hand, Young Justice is kind of neglected by the actual superheroes that should be looking out for them in a lot of crucial ways and very much failed by the adults around them

But on the other hand Red Tornado straight up hosts a parent-teacher conference where their respective legal guardians all show up, barring Batman who’s in traffic so Nightwing fills in instead because Robin’s dad does not know he’s a vigilante which is objectively hilarious

[benevolenterrancy]

just started reading SVSSS and so far I'm very amused by what seems to be the dynamic...

Shen Qingqiu: aggressively overthinking everything in a desperate effort not to literally die Luo Binghe: thinking absolutely nothing except "😍" which is bouncing around like a little screensaver

For real though, Maarten Schild bugs me to NO END specifically because of this. And... and you just can't have a reasonable conversation with him about it because he's so up in his "Lawrence straight" feels!

And it hurts to miss you, but it’s worse to know

That I’m the reason you won’t come home
