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

"You weakened me!" By Ambessa is not a declaration of apathy! It is not her blaming Mel! It is when Mel finally learns that her mother isn't apathetic to her, that she isn't disinterested in her fate or disappointing in her, but instead she loved her too much and too deeply. That Mel threatened Ambessa with ruination, because the only way Ambessa has ever known to survive is by embracing brutality and sacrificing a peaceful death, while all Mel has ever wanted is peace. That a peaceful death would have literally meant the death of her child, back when she was still pregnant with one of them!
And Mel's disapproval of her meant that Ambessa could feel herself tumbling into a path of peace. Into a better path, maybe, but a path that for Ambessa has only ever meant death. If she could be more hardhearted, maybe she could have kept both - her family's survival, and her daughter - but alas. Her sending Mel away is not a failure on Mel's part, but in fact a failure on Ambessa's - because she could not withstand the arrows of her disapproval, now she needs to come to Piltover to collect her before whatever older enemies she has catch up with them both. She comes to Piltover to correct that mistake, to show Mel a harder heart, and yet! It's doeesn't work! Because Mel still demands of her vulnerability and she cannot help giving it to her!
Is there no greater expression of love, for her? To even contemplate opening herself up to that which is deadly, for the sake of the life and soul of her daughter? Is there nothing so undoing?

Can we bring back the safety pin?
The single safety pin that signals to others you are an accepting, tolerant, sane individual who believes that everyone should be afforded the same rights and freedoms no matter their gender, sexuality, race, immigration or economic status?
Tumblr media
It's simple, accessible, and a way for others to know that you're safe.
It's also inconspicuous enough that the typical, ignorant MAGA shithead won't clock it and harass you for simply existing.
I'll start wearing mine again. How about you?

hot take that’s a few weeks old by now but Hank Henshaw is absolutely being cancelled on metropolis Twitter after Most Eligible Superman. The man stormed out of a charity event for sick children because he simply Could Not Stop being space-racist.
fuckin spaceman spiff over there should be getting roasted alive in the town square for this and Superman needs a better pr team because his current one just letting that go with some vaguely sad faces is the reason we can’t have nice things.

Personal ramblings because I am MAD.
I can’t have children. Back in 2016, my husband and I suffered a miscarriage that nearly took my life. I’m one of the women you’ve probably read about here of late where missed miscarriages are concerned. I nearly died and had to have an emergency D&E thanks to a blood clot the size of a cantaloupe taking shape in my uterus. Yes, you read that correctly. A cantaloupe. The nurses and my surgeon were shocked. I feel incredibly lucky however because it happened during a time where I didn’t have to worry about receiving the surgery or not. And the staff who took care of me were incredibly kind.
I live in Texas. This election has hit me very deeply.
Moving forward, I have good friends with children and I’ve been able to be a part of their lives. Two of which are in their younger years, and another is a teenager. It makes my heart unfathomably happy to get to be around them, to hear their laughter, listen to their stories I can barely understand because they’re 4 and 5 years old 😂🥰, and help the teenager just by being someone they can speak with freely.
They’re our found family. We’re all having Christmas and Thanksgiving together since none of us have close ties to our family. We’re all either LGBTQIA+, POC, or we’ve cut our family out due to abuse.
My found family means everything to me. We’ve all been there for one another. And we also all play D&D together, cook together, I help meal prep, we give each other rides when we need them, we’ve helped one another with home supplies, gas money when we have it, etc.
I’m so fucking terrified for my family. One of them is a female veteran who was sexually abused in the military. Another is a Hispanic male in the health care industry working in behavioral therapy for abused children. Our son, as we all call him, only turned 21 this year, a black man who I’d die to protect without hesitation. He’s our fucking baby boy and I’m so angry, hurt, upset, and scared for him. He’s the first person I thought of when all this shit started, especially with the text messages which were sent out. Fortunately he didn’t get one.
These are people and they’re real. They’re not the enemy.
They’re my family.
This is why we’re cutting people who voted for Trump out of our lives. If you voted for Trump, you voted to harm my family. I may just be one person, yes. But know that I hate you. I hate you. I fucking hate you.
And I’m not alone.
We all hope you live the lives you deserve, pigs. And when you realize what you’ve done, when you need an abortion, when your child is trans, when you fall in love with a POC and learn the terror they live in on the daily basis, know this:
You voted for Donald Trump. You did this to yourself. And you may find compassion from others.
You will receive none from me.

The inherent tragedy in Wu and Lloyd unknowingly putting high expectations onto their first students because they experienced high expectations themselves and thought it was NORMAL.
The inherent tragedy in unknowingly pushing their kids away and making them think they’re not good enough i.e Lloyd saying Arin can be better and Wu believing that Morro is the green ninja
The inherent tragedy in them being GENUINE of these things because they don’t know how bad their kids feel. The fact that ‘you could be the green ninja’/ ‘you could be so much better’ stem from pride in their kids.
The tragedy in the fact that Lloyd and Wu genuinely believed their kids were the best and could be the best leading to their kids (maybe for Arin) downfall
Generational Trauma am I right guys…
Haha, no I’m not going crazy, Wdym
Tumblr media
(Just a lil side note I do hope people are more forgiving of Wu for his failings in Morro if they’re forgiving of Lloyd for maybe carrying out the same mistakes in the future in regards to Arin.)

JULIAN ASSANGE TALKS ABOUT 'Q' PHENOMENON & THE GREAT AWAKENING HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!!!
The Storm Rages On: The Q Phenomenon and the Great Awakening
In the eerie calm before the storm, the air crackles with anticipation, the kind that makes you stop and wonder what’s coming next. This isn't just any storm—it’s a storm shaking the very foundations of global power. It’s not thunder and lightning, but a clash of intelligence, truth, and deception. And at the heart of this storm stands ‘Q,’ a force that has captured the attention of those who seek truth in a world of lies.
This isn’t just one person. The ‘Q’ operation is a collective of high-ranking insiders, warriors from within US Military Intelligence, armed with the truth and access to the darkest secrets of the elites. They’ve spent years preparing for this moment, positioning themselves to expose corruption at every level, to unveil the twisted alliances that control the world from the shadows. Their mission? A great awakening of the masses, where the truth will burn away the fog of deception that has kept us blind for too long.
What ‘Q’ is leading isn’t just a movement—it’s the largest operation against treason in world history. This is bigger than any government, more significant than any headline. This is a battle for the soul of humanity, a war fought with information, intelligence, and the will of the awakened. As we dive deeper into this storm, we aren’t just spectators; we are warriors in a revolution that will expose everything—from global corruption to the fraud that threatens our way of life.
The storm isn’t coming. The storm is here. The Great Awakening has begun. This is not a time for hesitation. The revelations of ‘Q’ have set the stage for the ultimate showdown, a fight against those who seek to enslave us under a cloak of secrecy and control. Every drop of information, every truth revealed, is another nail in the coffin of the global elites who thought they could keep us in the dark forever.
We aren’t waiting for the storm to hit us anymore. We are the storm. Armed with truth, we are the warriors in this battle for freedom. Together, we will shine a light so bright that the darkness will tremble. The world is watching, the elites are trembling, and the time for action is now.
This is our reality. The storm is upon us, and we must stand tall, ready to fight, ready to expose the lies. The future depends on our resolve. The fight for truth has just begun, and we are the force that will bring the corrupt to their knees.
Let the storm rage on. We are the Great Awakening. We are the ones who will take down the elites. This is our time, and this is our fight.Join and share my channel immediately:
