I understand being upset by the moonpaw dog post but i dont think talking about some random teen publicly (on a pretty big fandom blog) as opposed to like, dming them about it, is a very nice thing to do? Would recommend keeping that kinda gossip in dms going forward personally.

??????? "That kinda gossip???"

Saying that it's fucked up that a publicly posted incest joke about how deformed she should look went to the top of the Warrior Cats and Moonpaw tags, is gossip???

TRENDING TAGS?? GOSSIP?

I'm not talking about "some random teen," I have not even dropped a username and been VERY clear I don't want harassment of anyone. During this discussion about wider ableism against Moonpaw, I've directly answered two anons about the contents of a post that was/IS extremely popular to the tune of nearly a thousand notes.

One of those two asks was an anon who only stumbled in to say that the post was funny in a display of SHOCKING tonedeafness, while I was talking about how shitty it is to compare people who are the products of incest to unethical dog breeds, especially in the context of WC. The other was an actual XX/XY chimera who expressed that the extremely popular post hurt their feelings, and when they tried to express discomfort to someone, got told they "probably killed their twin in the womb."

It's not just one rando weenie little blog the minute half of the Tumblr space is openly laughing at a joke about deformed incest kids and hoping Moonpaw dies because she's so "gross." Not nice?? Your feelings are hurt? OTHER people's feelings were ALREADY hurt.

NOTHING about this was "nice" to begin with!

Difference is, when YOU cry me a river, you can build me a bridge, and get right the fuck over it. A person who's the product of incest cries and has to go right back to every shitty banjo-hunchback-hapsburg joke they've heard before, just feeling more unsafe about a space that PRETENDS to care about the abuse they experienced. If you feel guilty about that, maybe you should!

If you were under the impression I was ever "nice" about bigotry, you were mistaken. I don't appreciate calls for ME to be more polite when I'm at a trend of fandom ableism and calling it fucked up. I've named NO names. Sounds like what you ACTUALLY want is for people like me who have a platform to shut up.

[moregraceful]

is there a reason folks are against more traditional aid (pcrf, unrwa, etc)? I know it's not just you, but I wasn't sure why the larger trend was towards individual donation instead of charitable organizations

Oh I'm not against them at all, almost all of the aid I've personally given is to UNRWA. I just keep getting asks to promote GFMs and I thought I might as well do something about that specifically. I don't generally know what other people's opinions are. I've seen it mentioned that a lot of charitable organizations, NGOs, UNRWA etc have had to pull out of Gaza or have been greatly limited to what they are able to do in Gaza, and that because of that, people are turning to mutual aid as a way to directly help because they feel it goes further. But I don't know what the prevailing opinion is on that.

It may also be that the visibility of need on this site may look like people are against more traditional aid and are prioritizing individual donations. I've never seen so many GFM requests on this site and I've been here since 2008. That may swing what it looks like people are donating to as well, regardless of whether or not people are. Not sure.

[booblywooblies]

not posting this on main bc i dont want to SEEM like the person who spends an hour thinking about a weird random ask they got but i am the person that does that

i just wanna say i dont understand the type of person who would send someone an ask to let them know you disagree with them or dislike them or something, what do you get out of it theres not a world where you dont look like an idiot

[charitabledirection]

[overclockedopossum]

Wow damn, yeah a post like that would suck to get on the dash.

Incidentally, there has been a good and important post going around lately that's about how men need more of any kind of space that isn't either misogynstic (alt-right etc spaces) or overtly hateful towards their identity just for being men (a lot of ostensibly feminist spaces).

But that can't be the post OP is talking about, because it is in no way saying anyone has to be nicer towards active misogyny. So I'm happy to see no conflict at all in reblogging that post again right next to this one.

Nooo mutual don’t put that “men fall down the alt-right pipeline bc women/feminists are too mean” post on my dash nooo mutual don’t try to say women need to be nicer when dealing with misogynistic men nooo mutual nooo

(not so) friendly reminder that a non-exaustive list of war crimes that isreal has committed is:

Wilful killing

Torture or inhumane treatment, including biological experiments

Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health

Extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly

Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking part in direct hostilities

Intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects which are non-military

Intentionally directing attacks against humanitarian assistance

Intentionally launching an attack knowing that it will cause loss of life, injury or harm to civilians or civil properties

Intentionally launching an attack knowing it will cause significant damage to the natural environment without necessity

Attacking or bombarding, by whatever means, towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are undefended and which are not military objectives

Intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science, charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals, and places where the wounded are collected, assuming they are not military objectives

Employing asphyxiating, poisonous, or other gasses, and all analogous liquids, materials or devices

Employing weapons, projectiles, and material and methods or warfare which are of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering

Intentionally directing attacks against buildings, material, medical units and transport and personnel

Intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare by depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival

If you still think this is isreal defending itself, you're ignoring the signs. This is a genocide. These are war crimes. More than 25,000 civilians have been murdered. This is not okay.

Edit:

For all the people asking me for a source, here is a list:

Any of Bisan's videos/writings. There are so many people on the ground in Gaza who are documenting this. Stay safe and stay educated

why would they cut that??????

i'm going to hijack this post, sorry, i just have a lot of opinions here

they did Top's character so dirty in this series so far and I do not understand why????? Top is set up as the 'worst' character from the get go. yes, worse than Ray. Worse than Boston. he's an outsider to the group who only shows an interest in Mew as a conquest. he literally tells Boston he 'always gets what he wants' about dating/sleeping with Mew right after they just met???? his character is set up as a rich entitled sleezeball who has never been told no a day in his life and we aren't supposed to like him. He then immediately cheats on Mew with one of Mew's friends and lies about it for the duration of their relationship. the bar for his character was on the floor and he still found a way to tunnel under it.

then shit hits the fan and the truth comes out and they break up and we watch Top flounder. is he floundering because of genuine feelings???? or because he doesn't want to 'lose'???? is the bed scene with blackout drunk Mew supposed to show Top being gentle/caring/romantic? or overtly creepy and possessive???? as a viewer it was impossible to interpret his actions with Mew up to this point as genuine because of the original character set up. so we have the villain character making repeated bad, selfish and hurtful decisions and just digging the hole deeper and deeper. we are at episode 9 and as the viewer, we still have not gotten any clarity or confirmation on Top's actual feelings and what is and isn't real because the origins of his character hasn't been acknowledged or addressed in any way? so he starts as a villain and just gets worse throughout the show. there hasn't been any sort of growth or redemption arc or reason for the viewer to think he's become a better person.

so a scene showing how he's tried to go back to his old behavior patterns with a random hook up only to break down crying IS SO IMPORTANT to his character development. that is the missing piece viewers need to see how he's changed and genuinely changed. that is the change in perspective we need to see some of his past actions in a more charitable light. that is what needs to be shown on screen for viewers to get behind the Top/Mew relationship.

and i find it infuriating that they chose to cut that scene

especially because the reasoning was 'viewers don't like Top'

no shit

and they never will

because as his character has been portrayed so far, how could they?

p'jo saying in his interview with let's talk bl that they cut a scene with top going home with a random guy but couldn't have sex with him because he starts crying since he still has feelings for mew... gives me some sort of feels about top, ngl.

my guy is pathetic, oh my heart.

It's easy to jump to the conclusion that the NCR and New Vegas got destroyed in the series purely out of spite, because Bethesda is coping and seething that people like FNV more than any of their Fallouts. I'm also leaning towards that interpretation myself, although I'm not ready to attribute that specific intention to Bethesda just yet.

A much more charitable, but also more likely interpretation is this: Bethesda has a very superficial understanding of Fallout, and they're incapable of going in any new and interesting direction with it. And that's why they destroyed the NCR and New Vegas, because they represented humanity rebuilding and looking towards the future (albeit still with heavy doses of old world nostalgia, but FNV has already said plenty on the topic). Their continued existence in canon forces Bethesda to think about the future of the setting, when all they want to do is sit in their postapocalyptic sandbox that hasn't been cleaned up in 200 years and wank about the BOS, Vault-Tec, and 1950s American aesthetics. So they had to go.

Well, whichever one it is, it's clear that Bethesda has absolutely zero respect for the work of Obsidian/Black Isle. Or the Fallout setting in general, for that matter.

“CHANGE OF PLEA IS ALLOWED BY JUDGE,” Montreal Gazette. January 11, 1933. Page 4. ---- Man Charged With Stealing Relief Vouchers Now Denies His Guilt ---- TWO FURTHER ARRESTS ---- Young Men Plead Guilty to Charges Preferred Against Them - Counterfeit Investigation Continues ---- "While, the police continued investigations concerning counterfeit direct relief vouchers of the St. Vincent de Paul Society found in a vacant Notre Dame street east apartment, Alcide Carmel, 5001 Notre Dame street west, appeared before Judge Tetreau yesterday and asked permission to change his former plea of guilty to the charge of stealing vouchers from the Hochelaga branch of the society. Carmel was charged with having stolen vouchers to the value of $300, the allegation being that he obtained them from Louis Mayer, vice-president of the society for the parish of la Nativite d'Hochelaga, who appeared with Carmel on their arraignment a week ago and pleaded guilty to the charge of conversion of vouchers. Permission for a changed of plea was given by the judge. 

Two further names have been added to the list of those accused in connection with frauds arising from St. Vincent de Paul direct relief vouchers. 

Fernand Rheault, 23 years of age, 2105 Chambly street, and A. Guerin, 23 years of age, 1433 Valois street, both of whom have pleaded guilty on arraignment before Judge Tetreau charged in connection with St. Vincent de Paul frauds, are awaiting sentence, which is set in each case for January 17. The former, assistant secretary of the Ste. Jeanne d'Arc parish branch of the St. Vincent de Paul society, was charged with having stolen direct relief vouchers to the value of at least $150, and the second was charged with having negotiated the vouchers. 

In admitting their respective charges, accused volunteered to reimburse the society with the amount stolen. 

"You stand charged with very serious offences," Judge Tetreau said, in refusing to be party to such an act at this stage. "You have pleaded guilty, and nothing you can do now can alter the charges against you." 

MANY FAKE VOUCHERS. In the meantime, action by the police is proceeding in the case of counterfeit direct-relief vouchers found in an unoccupied apartment on Notre Dame street, near Nicolet street. It was divulged that the vouchers, to the values of 25 cents and 50 cents, found hidden under a carpet, numbered several hundred, amounting in value to about $250. Other information is to the effect that many more thousands of counterfeit vouchers were either destroyed by fire or thrown into the St. Lawrence when the sensational investigation was sprung by the municipal police. 

Experts have declared that the counterfeits are well made but in certain respects can be clearly distinguished from the regular vouchers .
