I've seen "war crimes" is trending on this hellsite now so let me add one.

This is Avigail Idan. A 4 year old Israeli-American child.

On october 7th, hamas terrorists (or freedom fighters as you like to call them) entered her house and murdered both her parents. Her brother (9) and sister (6) were hiding in the closet and were saved that way. She was kidnapped. She was held in hamas captivity for 50 days. And this is just one story of one girl. There are thousands more. All of them met face to face with the worst kind of evil a human is capable of. Slaughtered, burned, raped, moletated, some in front of their loved ones. No mercy.

Tell me more about war crimes, about human evil and cruelty, about genocidal intentions. Tell me more about good and bad and right and wrong. Or just be a decent human being and stop justifying the brutul murder of jewish people.

How is it suddenly somehow okay to hold 4 year olds as hostages (after you murdered their parents)? How is it debatable? Why do I have to explain this to people who claim to care about human rights?

Missed opportunity with TUA not going all the way with, 'I never asked you to bring me back, /You brought me back but became a monster in the process and I don't love who you are now, /I hate everything you did and hate you now, /You got everything you wanted and it wasn't how you thought it would be'

The whole first episode this season was "You Got What You Wanted and it turned out Bad" but we didn't see Abigail and Reginald fighting?

Greta Gerwig’s 2019 “Little Women” A Slap in the Face of the Novel

My two cents on the 2019 movie version of this beloved classic by the novelist Louisa May Alcott, which was first published in 1868.

Warning: spoilers ahead.

~~~

For little tripping maids may follow God Along the ways which saintly feet have trod.

The novel is about four virtuous girls growing up while their father, a pastor, is at the American Civil War (1861 – 1865). We see them struggle with everyday life and with the particularities of growing up as well as the little or big drama that happen in their lives. Despite difficulties they always are a family. It’s their ties with other people as well as their faith that gives them strength and guideline, not any kind of ambition.

The book has strong morals, showing how good deeds are rewarded and bad deeds followed by punishment. Faith is a central theme, even when it’s not always harped on. Christian rituals and morals play a major role, beginning with the fact that the first novel both starts and ends on a Christmas day. The girls get gifted religious books, and they know The Pilgrim’s Progress so well that they make it a parlour game. Amy learns how to pray devoutly at her aunt’s house, helped by a French servant who is a Catholic.

The four sisters live by the standards of helping one another, in particular those in need. This is not a story about women pursuing their ambitions; they have „castles in the air” (chapter 13), but being good persons and always being there for one another is much more important for them than reaching personal goals. Beth carries this to the extreme when she gets ill taking care of the child of a poor family, and in the process gets so sick that though recovering at first, her health is so compromised that she dies young.

Their poverty is a major issue because it makes their sacrifice significant, e.g. when they bring their Christmas dinner to a family who has even less than them. In this movie version, the burdens they have to carry because they have so little money and must work for their living (which they rightly don’t enjoy) and because their father is at war are hardly to be noticed.

It is understandable if someone is not religious and therefore doesn’t appreciate the novel’s implications. But to take religion out of the equation in such a piece of fiction as this is like tearing its heart out.

The March sisters were supposed to be role models for girls. This movie made them „emancipated” and that makes them detestable.

Meg

The novel told us how Meg, the oldest sister, went to a rich family to stay for a while, made a fool of herself, was disappointed by the frivolity of that life and turned her back on it. In the movie, her sister Amy accepts hypergamy after the novel had made a point of saying that family and virtue are more important than rank and wealth.

Jo(sephine)

In the novel, no one ever told Jo (or the other girls) „you can’t do this or that because you’re a girl“. Jo is a tomboy, but no one reprimands her for this. She is expected to mind her manners, yes, but not to change her nature and become more feminine. She moves to New York, works for her living, publishes her writing, founds a school, all with her family’s blessing. It’s ridiculous how this movie makes her a fighter for female independence.

Alcott’s Jo was much more a „modern woman” than Gerwig’s because she wrote novels, founded a school and also was married and had two sons. No one expected her to choose between a family of her own and a career.

Jo also said that if she was a boy, she would join her father in war. A few months in a trench would probably have changed her mind, thank you very much. Now that would have been an interesting direction to take a new movie interpretation.

Jo and professor Bhaer

In the novel, professor Bhaer’ criticism was not directed at Jo: he told her that young people should not read “such stories” without knowing that she was the author at that time. Jo had for a long time written sensational stories only to sell them, and Bhaer rightly pointed out that they did not have a good message for the readers. Jo understood that she could do better, and she did. He did not come across as offensive or mansplaining, or trying to discourage Jo from doing something she loved; he gave constructive criticism, and she was wise enough to take it. Why insert him in the movie at all in this case? Just to make Jo look better by seeming superior to him?

Her rant „I’m sooo sick of being told this and that because I’m a girl“ is one of the many uncalled for scenes that did not appear in the novel with good reason. It’s petty and selfish and her wallowing in self-pity does the character no credit. Jo complains about feeling lonely, but it was one of the major points of the novels (there are four of them) that the March sisters are never lonely, whatever the trials they may undergo in their lives. Why did she tell Laurie that she won’t have him because she’s fine on her own then? In the novel, too, she rejected him, but she only said that they would not suit.

Jo and Laurie

Information has long since spread among readers that Alcott had to think up someone Jo would marry because apparently at the time, a heroine could not remain unmarried. She deliberately made Jo reject Laurie, disappointing many fans. In the movie, that is interpreted as Jo being „fine with being single”. Readers or moviegoers who expected them to be together in the end are called narrow-minded. Jo don’t need no man! She’s fine on her own!

What these fans don’t get is that readers didn’t expect Jo and Laurie to get married because they expected a heroine to get married to no matter whom, they expected it because the novel is very clear about how close they are. Jo and Laurie like one another from the start, share everything, Laurie compliments and encourages Jo always even when her family is not (e.g. when he tells her to have a run even if it will ruin her dress and hairdo). Laurie on one occasion kisses her, and on another occasion, Jo tells Amy that Laurie has beautiful eyes. Laurie is first depicted as being volatile and superficial, but he finishes his studies because he wants to be good enough for Jo. The two of them had the finest chemistry in all of the books. To me, it was plain that they belonged together. I was sorely disappointed when I read „Good Wives” and she rejected him.

Amy

Amy tells Laurie that as a woman, she can’t earn her own money so she must marry well. At the same time, her sister Jo was in New York working at a boarding school to support herself, so that doesn’t make sense.

Amy is depicted as being „strong” here by „standing up” to Laurie who never had anything but kindness for her and, which is emphasized much more here than in the novel, she actually loves. She merely rejects him at first to „teach him a lesson” (an unneeded and uncalled one, but hey, he’s a guy so he must bleed for „all the wrong men do to women”). The little tirade she gives Laurie about „marriage being an economic proposition” because by law, her property and her children are his, is only spiteful. What use is it to tell that to today’s spectators, when things have changed long since?

If she wanted Amy to be a „strong woman”, why did Gerwig not make Amy a successful painter? If she did have to change main plot points, this would have been as good as another. What makes it worse is that Alcott had indeed drawn inspiration for her book from her own sisters: Amy was modelled on her sister Abigail who was a painter by trade, studied in Europe and later taught art to others, including prominent students.

Beth

If any of the March sisters was destined to remain unmarried, it was Beth; she’s content with staying with her family and never has any kind of romantic interest. All she wants is the comfort of her home, her cats and her beloved music. She would have been an excellent unmarried aunt to the March sister’s children had Alcott not decided to let her die (whatever her reasons). But of course, that can’t be. Not even in a modern movie version, no matter how you turn it upside down for the sake of „modern” messages to female viewers, can Beth survive and show that she’s fine without a husband. Because a female who doesn’t want marriage has to be a „strong, independent woman.”

~~~

Louisa May Alcott said that “I was born with a boys’ nature and always had more sympathy for and interest in them than in girls“. Which is open to interpretation - maybe nowadays she would identify as a queer person -, however the character of Jo March is undoubtedly modelled after herself. It would have been more to the point to actually make a movie biography of the book author than ripping her most famous novel to shreds.

Women are better than men, I get it Greta. Some men may believe that they are better than women, but turning the tables on them doesn’t make things better, on the contrary.

I will reread the novel now to forget about this movie, thank you. And watch the 2017 BBC version.

P.S. Did this movie really win an award for “Best Costumes”? It’s cringe to see the girls wearing their hair open (!) in that time period, even worse when they’re at an actual ball.

I haven't sent you one of these in awhile: You versus each of the counselors (including laura and max) in a 1 on 1 fight. Who would win?

LET ME AT HER, LET ME AT HER-

Ahem. Sorry, I'll go in my normal order.

This is assuming that all of them have a reason to try and kill me (which I would normally avoid).

Laura: I'm dead.

Ryan: I'm dead. Probably not even on purpose, he'll shoot me through some bushes.

Kaitlyn: I'm so dead unless I can put the gun on a high enough shelf.

Dylan: Probably helped Kaitlyn kill me. And also could kill me.

Emma: I'm so fucking dead.

Jacob: ... y'know what, I think I could outsmart him. He may have the size advantage and the fitness advantage, but I could definitely lead him into a beartrap.

Nick: Hmmmm. He's such a gentle soul. I think if he really gave it his all he could kill me, but he'd be hesitant enough for me to get away.

Max: On the one hand, I have the size advantage. On the other, he has the fitness advantage. I'm gonna call this another toss-up, like Nick- Max's luck might just be bad enough for me to win.

Now.

Abigail Blyg.

I wouldn't even have to try to kill her, she'd get herself killed in 10 seconds petting a wild animal or wandering off into the woods at midnight, but forget that. I want the honor.

All I'd have to do is sit on her. She's so short and tiny and ~cutesy~ that I would crush her like a bug. Though I could also go for tossing her into an enclosure of wild boars, I think that would be karmic, that would be cathartic.

“I was gaslit into feeling that I had done or said something wrong. I will never forgive those people who made me feel that way, who made me think I had done something wrong. I knew deep down in my heart that I hadn’t. Still, you feel scared because you’re vulnerable and on the world stage, but I know I’m on the right side of history because I stand with all the world’s Indigenous people.”

“I’m always attracted to women who are warriors in film. Who get thrown obstacles and have to find a way to survive, usually on their own. I love the ‘Final Girl’ trope in horror films.”

“I know the damage that has been done to not just Mexicans but all Latinos through storytelling, and so I’ve always been very intentional about saying no to certain things that will be feeding into certain stereotypes and tropes.”

“When I get stopped on the street now, it’s not because I’m recognised for being in a film; it’s mostly someone thanking me for speaking up for Palestine. It’s super weird, but it’s nice. It fills my heart. I’m just so, so grateful.”

“Everything that happened last year was the perfect filter because people who don’t want to work with me anymore, I’d never want to work with anyway. The people who do will probably be telling the kinds of stories that I want to tell.” -Melissa Barrera Polyester Magazine

[confessyourship]

At the beginning of September I learned of an altercation, so to speak, between some users who said they were going to rape and make another user (let's call her Abigail) scream in pain for being a pedophile. Abigail in question ended up saying goodbye on Facebook because she herself was a victim of pedophilia and that affected her and her friend exposed the users and these guys justified themselves by saying that they were minors when Abigail was also a minor, because the antis are so... cynics??

About Mary-Beth, Karen and Abigail

This isn’t the most eloquent thing I’ve written, but oh well. I know, this is controversial and I may receive hateful anons and reposts. That’s just how people react to things on tumblr, especially when it’s a popular character (s.) If you don’t want to see something that is negative towards these Karen or Mary-beth, please scroll on. It’s easier on both of us.  I don’t think Karen and Mary-Beth like Abigail. I think Karen tolerates her more than likes her, but she does appear to like Jack. Karen was kind to Abigail while she was grieving over Jack’s disappearance. This is the only conversation I’ve seen with Karen and Abigail, whereas as Mary-Beth does not have a single conversation with Abigail except to ask where is Kieran and later to ask where is Tilly. I know because I have all the audio files.

Karen has had some harsh audio towards Abigail. I haven’t really found anything of Abigail being harsh towards Karen. Abigail is no saint, I am well aware. She has said her fair share of fiery things, but I haven’t seen it with the girls at all. I’m not counting Miss Grimshaw literally trying to force her back into prostitution - literally one of the worst fates for a woman like Abigail. (nevermind the trauma of being a sex worker back then....)  Outside of that, neither girl talk to her overall.  They aren’t seen standing together much except for Karen occasionally standing with her for coffee. (She’s admittedly not a morning person and doesn’t speak to anyone.) But they don’t eat together, they don’t sit together, play games, work,  etc This also extends to Jack. Mary-Beth especially isn’t seen around Jack. Karen does talk to him sometimes and is pretty friendly. Karen also called out John before when he tried to cheat. I think that’s more Karen being a good person and wanting something better for Jack and calling out John out rather than liking Abigail. Karen comes across as almost being disappointed that Abigail brought Jack into this life so to speak. I mean that in a more sexist matter in that “Well you knew the life and you had a kid. I’ll try to talk to John but you still caused this.” Abigail brings up the pity and disgust the gang has for her on multiple occasions. I mean, look where the girls are always stationed. I just feel like Mary-Beth and Karen are very selective as to the women they socialize with. However, the men don’t seem to be an issue. Molly and Miss Grimshaw both bring up how the girls gossip and the hurt from that as well.  Molly and Miss Grimshaw are tough characters and I totally understand the tension. No doubt whatsoever. A lot of the criticisms are valid, but it comes across to me that Mary-Beth has secret mean girl tendencies or something based off of what Miss Grimshaw says about “knowing her type” and looking so innocent. Arthur’s antagonizing comments also bring this up multiple times.  The exception is Tilly. Tilly came to the gang earlier than Mary-Beth and Karen, so it is very likely that Abigail and Tilly bonded. I hc that outside of Sadie, Abigail’s best friend is Tilly. Tilly also basically says as much in her epilogue letter. Tilly is also the kinder one who is willing to give others a chance. I think she would see more than anyone what Abigail was before versus now and I think Abigail adores and trusts her immensely with Tilly in return caring for her as she asks for advice or sits with her. She’s also trusted with Jack more so than any other member. Tilly is the only one who asks about Molly. Yes, I totally understand their critiques, but Tilly is the most selfless one when it comes to the other women. I think the “drama” with John is what ruined Abigail’s standing in the gang. She went from the highest earning woman outside of Grimshaw, as said by Arthur and Hosea, to nothing. No status in the gang whatsoever.  I am not saying they are absolutely horrible people or that you shouldn’t like them. I just don’t think that they are as pure and innocent as the fandom portrays them as, especially Mary-Beth. She reminds me of the type of  school bullies who were so liked that no one believed the victims when they spoke up. Again, I’m not saying don’t like them. I’m just pointing out that I think these are traits that pop up

When you buy or stream MaXXXine, Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian, Godfather of Harlem, Westworld, Kaleidoscope, Captain America, Megalopolis, Abigail, The Electric State, The Boys, Parish, The Gentlemen, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, and many Spike Lee films, you're giving money to Zionists.
