In a conversation on Reddit about a Jewish grandmother being assaulted in France for wearing a Star of David, someone kept asking me whether what's been happening everywhere really counted as a rise in antisemitism or if this could be seen as a 'reward' of Israel's actions, like. Wtf are you talking about. I mean, I know what they were talking about, they were saying all this antisemitism wouldn't be happening rn if Israel just... disappeared from the map I guess, but also WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. Do you also think random American Muslims deserved to be assaulted after 9/11 or do you reserve that line of thinking for Jewish folks?

hmm jessamine lovelace jessamine lovelace jessamine lovelace. the dead girl who manages to be two people at the same time. as herself, as a ghost, she is forever young but she can grow and she has, she has protected the london institute many times, the home she has shunned many other times, and she has learned to accept it as her home, to accept being a shadowhunter as her fate, as her duty (but should she have to?). yet through the dollhouse she preserves, the idea of who her parents wanted her to be is preserved w it. the dollhouse is a mere copy of the house she lived in only until she was three, and yet she hangs on to it for dear life bc in it are also porcelain, fragile, dolls of her parents and her as a baby. in the dollhouse she is still her parents' daughter, or, rather, their dream of a daughter, someone who refuses to be a shadowhunter. but porcelain is fragile and it breaks, and yet her dying wish is to preserve that, preserve that memory of when she was still her parents' daughter. and, lest she let go, she will never fully grow, as she is attempting to immortalise a dream never to be attained. she will never be free of her who she couldn't be

i've always adhered to the idea that termina isn't a real place but rather a representation of link himself. and it makes me unwell if i think about it too much. to be quite honest with you

The past couple days online have been... interesting. I consider myself a leftist, think capitalism is corrupt, and think that it needs to be seriously reformed/overthrown. I admit that while I've thrown around phrases and terms like "burn it all down" and "the revolution needs to come" out of frustration without actually thinking about what a revolution entails: excellent organization, unity, and strategy to defeat the United States, the world's largest military superpower which has inflicted political and social destabilization across the majority of countries around the world. There also needs to be superb infrastructure and community to support the disabled, elderly, and poor populations who rely on government assistance and programs, healthcare, and accommodations while this so-called revolution rages on.

All I've received from the far leftist movement are lectures from condescending intellectuals who rattle off academic citations regarding ideological theory rather than practical, tangible steps to advocate for change in our local and regional communities. I have not seen one of them actually discuss conversations they've had with their friends, family, or Americans about what they want to see reflected for the future of the country. I have not seen one of them discussed how destructive, detrimental and traumatic a Trump presidency was for social prejudice and morale in the United States. I understand that for many marginalized groups they've been living in a facist state for centuries so the possibility Project 2025 doesn't galvanize them to see the two parties differently, but I don't think it is fair to white leftists falsely equivocate the election of both parties for the entire American population at all??? Or like at least specify the issues you're referring to in which you view both parties as the same????? Literally one TikTok creator who I used to follow talked about how true leftists are so much better than liberals because they aren't waiting for a presidential candidate to save the world NOW due to the accelerated apocalypse due to climate change but when asked how to change the world they suggest sharing ideas of your future utopia with other leftist groups. How the fuck is sitting around talking about living in a walkable community is great considered "saving the world now"? How are you going to dismantle and restructure American infrastructure to create these communities? How are you going to remove existing racial and social tensions to create a community where everyone lives happily side by side? Do people not consider reality at all?????

And is it not wrong for people to have a fucking sliver of optimism and hope at incremental change that's achieved within the corrupt bipartisan system of American politics, even if they know it's propaganda??? Is it wrong for people to have a singular fucking moment of relief in feeling like their values, beliefs, and lives will be better protected and THEY can advocate for change better??? Is it wrong when there's a couple months until the most pressing election in recent history for people to make the choice they feel will reduce the most amount of harm???

America Under Occupation

AIPAC ORDERED CONGRESS TO SAY :

“Reports that people are starving in Gaza are false”

“Israel is not blocking the delivery of aid to Gaza”

“The United States must not fall into Hamas trap”

“There is no genocide in Gaza”

“HAMAS beaded babies”

“HAMAS raped Israeli hostages”

America is occupied by a foreign power.

AIPAC is a foreign agent that serves Israeli interests and not America’s.

AIPAC and israel pose a clear and present danger to America and Americans.

it's important to watch shitty foreign movies, i'm so serious about this. when you only ever watch foreign movies if they make it to the oscars or if they're being talked about online, you have a distorted perception of what they're actually like. they're not prestigious, elitist, inaccessible, or hard to watch. they're just in a different language

[rebel-girl-queen-of-my-world]

Idk if I shared this already but here it is again:

You can use this link to call your representatives and demand they oppose any further military aid to Israel and instead push for immediate de-escalation and humanitarian aid. There’s a call script in the link as well. I’ve called all my reps once today and will do so again - the more you call the better.

[starlit-eudemonia]

so like the arcana, there’s definitely gonna be a masquerade in game right? lowkey I hope we do something in the realm of their interests for all the love interests.
