The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

#also idk how to tell you this but even if it were true. wealthy children potentially sacrificing their educational careers to protest is #a good thing actually. idk how to tell you that caring about people from other nations is good #personal #“this war has nothing to do with most students cuz nobody's getting drafted” idk how to explain to you that we should be angry #that our tuitions of 10s of thousands of dollars that we pay every year for an education is being used to fund a genocidal campaign #also the implication that if you go to a uni institution you are automatically privileged by participation no matter your bg #i didn't /want/ to go to this school. i was supposed to go to a school with an art/animation program. but i realized my immigrant #parents have been working their whole lives to get me here. and turning the opportunity down would be a disservice to their sacrifice #this is getting into convos of “what 2nd gen kids owe their parents” which is different for everyone but. yeah #i just get pissed off at seeing people misrepresenting student bodies as “wealthy” and “privileged” and “elite” when it's such a blatant li #i remember a year ago a friend told me they can't fly home to hong kong for winter break because the plane tickets are too expensive #so they have to find temporary housing around the area #last quarter for a film doc class my film partner made a doc on a small group of marxist grad students from india discussing praxis #during a rally a few months ago in response to police presence the coalition invited palestinian students to speak about their experiences #and lead songs and read poems they wrote. these are STUDENTS. are they elitist too?#this is not to disregard my own personal privilege either.#this whole narrative's just to rationalize a lack of empathy to me. seeing a 19yo student get shot by a rubber bullet and your first #reaction is “HAW! HAW! bet richy rich didn't see THAT coming when she put on her terrorist hood!”#newsflash. these big uni campuses are HAUNTED by the violence of past protests and revolutions and police brutality. we know.#why do you think these coalitions have been making reinforced barricades at record speed

funniest part of better call saul is that one of the tensest, most viscerally anxiety-inducing sequence of scenes was just nacho practicing close-up magic over and over so he could try to kill an old man

#syd squeaks #con: nacho put his life at risk switching out those pill bottles #pro: nacho is REALLY good at pulling quarters out from behind people's ears now #better call saul #breaking bad #nacho varga

i am getting into the xhorhas arc now but — i still can't fucking believe that the mighty nein stole a pirate ship by accidentally killing its crew (except for one guy) because they just wanted to talk to this one guy (they abducted said guy), decided to go fuck where and engage in relationship with the powerful pirate who has an obsession with a god, became full fledged pirates for a while, docked on the pirate island, got banned from said pirate island after a day, barely surviving, and then renamed a famous pirate ship that they've kept as the balleater.

what a fucking arc that was, holy shit

#may watches the mighty nein #this was insane #breaking into avantika's quarters #caleb and nott high on some blood fed fruits #uk'otoa lore #fjord and caleb just whatever the fuck these two had going on #THE BLOOD PACT #wall of fire and THE FIRST COUNTERSPELL #ohhh i loved it honestly #now onto enemies lines #the mighty nein #fjord stone #beauregard lionett #caleb widogast #nott the brave #jester lavorre #caduceus clay #yasha nydoorin #critical role

I'm so ashamed of my Italian peers right now and not just them. Everyone assailing a woman because of an alleged genetic advantage, her androgynous look and the myth of pure genetic (lots of athletes have genetic advantages one way or the other and it doesn't look like Khelif genetic actually helped her in the past).

I think Carini's coaches should have done a better job in making her focus on Khelif career facts instead of a supposed test made by a not trusted lab and comments online. Athletes should have help in building mental strength, not be overwhelmed by far right gossips.

I wish Imane Khelif a good run to her Olympics because she does deserve to be there.

#Imane Khelif #Angela Carini #olympics #paris 2024 #boxing #give me a break #if she was so genetically advantaged she would already have some medals #she didn't even pass the quarters last time

Me busting into Elder Predator’s chambers to chew his ass out after he ignored my gauntlet call six times in a row (he was taking a much needed old man nap)

#big guy was knocked out #being an ancient yautja is exhausting #and then dealing with my bitch ass…#oh he’s gonna bite a good chunk of my ass off when he wakes up #pardon my behavior I’ve just been very dickprived as of late #it makes me say and do things I shouldn’t #also yes I spied on him and memorized the key code to break into his chambers #he knows this already unfortunately I leave my scent behind when I snoop around his quarters #I also shed so he’s always finding strands of my hair #and I leave very small gifts around for him in places I assume he won’t notice right off the bat #but his finely tuned observations detect traces of my phantom presence #he’s contemplating setting up a trap to catch me redhanded #yes I must answer for not respecting his personal space #especially to discipline me for my poor cloaking execution #now he can’t bring any Yautja women around cuz they’ll smell me there #but let’s be real he hasn’t done that in a long time #yautja #avp elder #elder predator

I must admit I do find it kind of weird when people are like "hopefully Bells Hells will talk about their feelings as a group this time" like even the prior two campaigns, where the parties had, in my opinion at least, much stronger bonds and regular communication, it was pretty rare to have a single big "having it out" group conversation as opposed to a number of side conversations, and on the occasions when they did have a large conversation as an entire group a lot of people whined that it wasn't good because it wasn't a corporate ice-breaker and/or grade school style "go around the circle and say something nice about someone else". Like there is not going to be a fix for discourse because some people are wicked stupid, is the problem, so don't let that bother you, and conflict resolution takes sustained time and many forms and it's more interesting if it lasts a while anyway so stop being so fucking scared of it because it will make your taste in fiction dull at the very minimum.

#i think about the 2x94 conversation for the nein #it's one of my favorite conversations it's actually extremely supportive and the closest to a group therapy convo you can get in-game #w/o breaking certain walls/coming off as wildly out of character #and the usual suspects were like um actually beau throwing her life away was beautiful and noble and it was so mean #that people raised their voice a quarter of a decibel at her bc they loved her and were worried? why do people act like people. seems fake.#cr tag

I’m so torn, because part of me wants Tai and Van to remain an unhealthily-bonded force to be reckoned with the entire time they’re in the wilderness. I want them to repress all the shit they’re not talking about, hide it all under physical contact and standing shoulder to shoulder against the world. I want them to pretend they’re fine, trick themselves into thinking it’s working as the weather grows warmer and the society they’ve built steadies. I want them to believe their love can outshine their toxic habits.

But the other part of me keeps thinking how DELICIOUS a messy gay breakup in the woods where they both still love and crave one another would be. Think of the yearning. Think of the sexual tension. Think of how intense it would be for them to go head to head at last, Believer vs. Skeptic, and how wild the inevitable crash would shake out. They can’t escape each other. They still need each other to survive. Van’s not gonna let Taissa sleepwalk alone and Taissa’s not gonna want to let Van go full Lottie without supervision. Think of how fucking taaaaasty that dynamic becomes when they both let themselves actually FEEL what their relationship lacks. Liv and Jasmin would fucking kill it and us and I kind of want it.

#yellowjackets #taivan #like don’t get me wrong: I want all the taivan scenes #I want them in 96. I want them in 2021. I want them to soulmate it out to the most unhinged degree.#and the fact that they’re still magnetically linked after 25 years apart. can’t keep their distance or their hands to themselves.#implies that this will always be the case. they are inevitable.#but a season of them being at odds? with the tension and the longing stares and the ACTING??#only for them to crash BACK together and think it’s forever this time and then they get rescued and it breaks for a quarter century??#nom nom nom give it to me

If someone told me that I'd spend my twenties losing two houses, everyone in my family going in and out of the hospital, living in a camper that's falling apart, simultaneously having the best and worst mental health state I've ever had, and it all being okay bc style minecraft bees, my dog, and some rubber bands, I'm not sure I'd believe them

#im hanging on by a thread that's breaking but being held together by the rubber bands lol #sad part is that's not even a quarter of what dubbing my horror years #but hey! I've made a lot of new friends this year!
