News around the city is that the Goths Family Apartment in San Myshuno, gifted to them by Vita Alto, has had movers going in and out. With Mortimer's Goth publishing company going public, Bella's brother ,Michael, purchasing the city's baseball team, and Landgraab Industries having a shareholders meeting, could they be looking at making this their permanent residence?

again so sorry im still on gladiator 2 but i cant stop thinking abt it (derogatory). it shows exactly the type of surface level "progress" we made in the last 2 decades. literally gladiator but "woke" as conservatives think of it bc that racial diversity n inclusion of lgbt characters is entirely surface level n covers up existing racism, eurocebtrism n homophobia.

they try to show rome as a brutal imperialist force spanning 3 continents for exactly 10 minutes, and then forget about it. no more discussion of imperialism and its consequences on both colonized ppl n colonizers. the message is 'rome is an empire built upon the blood of enslaved n colonized ppl. it could b good tho. it could b a REPUBLIC built upon the blood of enslaved n colonized ppl #progress'.

they were characters who were explicitly mentioned to enjoy n seek out gay sex, but these characters were either not shown or the villains. the brothers were rly effeminate as well to show how theyre morally corrupt, as one does when they try to present men as decadent, corrupt and morally reprehensible.

not to mention the whitewashing of the brothers. he tried to push as many poc into the plot as he could but whitewashed the two emperors that were arab irl. insane. all the main characters of color in the movie, esp the ones played by black actors, were either currently or formerly enslaved. he tried to be as "inclusive" as he could, but failed to imagine a past in europe where the emperor is arab and black ppl r anything but enslaved? even tho that past did exist? what kind of progress is that?

Ο δὲ Ἀλέξανδρος, ἐλθὼν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Ἄμμωνος, ἐπηρώτα τὸν θεὸν εἰ πάντων τῶν ἀνθρώπων βασιλεὺς ἐστί. ὁ δὲ ἀνὴρ ὁ χρησμῳδός, ἀτενίσας, ἀπεκρίνατο· "οὐ μόνον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὦ παῖ Διός, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν θεῶν

But Alexander, having come to the temple of Ammon, asked the god whether he was the ruler of all men. And the priest, gazing at him, replied: 'Not only of men, O son of Zeus, but of the gods as well.'

The Liberation of Palestine and the Rights of Indigenous Americans: The Same Struggle

532 years ago, America was "discovered" by Europeans for the first time. What resulted from this fateful day was nothing short of a genocide. Millions systemically displaced and killed, cultures destroyed, and ecosystems irreparably altered to accommodate the European colonizers at the expense of the people who lived there. In both the United States and Canada, remaining indigenous populations face massive societal discrimination and are victim to underfunding and exploitation from the governments of their respective states. Many are forced into poverty, underfunded reservations, and horrid living conditions. Sound similar?

The genocide in Gaza and the expansion of the Israeli settler state is almost completely congruent to the history of violence experienced by indigenous Americans. Both the Palestinian liberation struggle and the Land Back movement in the US are inherently interwined in their ideals and histories, and any anti-imperialist should recognize the victory of these struggles as fundamental to the development of equality and liberty for the oppressed.

Solidarity with Palestine and Solidarity with the First Nation's People forever. No freedom, no peace, on stolen land.

Black Santa Claus’s origin story!

❄️🎅��🎁

[luvsimskaos]

One day when the chores get down early and Cato is healthy enough to be out about, Elijah takes his siblings to a nearby park. The twins play on the monkey bars and Elijah pushes Daphne on the swing.

After taking a break from the swing, Daphne and Elijah sit down and talk. It's not long before Daphne notices a classmate heading their way, she excitingly waves at them.

It's Cela! She surprised to find out Daphne and Cela are sibling but happy to see them both. Daphne tells Elijah that Cela will sometimes help the teacher and has become sort of a mentor toward Daphne and her friends.

The three of them talk amongst each other. Elijah is able to hear what's going on back at the school, while Cela and Daphne find out more of Elijah's job and the fish market.

It isn't long before Daphne gets bored with the conversation and starts to mess around with her brother. Cela laugh about it, seeing the siblings play around. While Elijah finds himself a little embarrassed but decides it's worth it for the girls' smiles.

Cela admits that she can't stay for long and needs to start heading home, Elijah manages to convince Cela to at least let him walk her halfway home. After telling his siblings to stay in the park the two of them head their way. It's a nice walk and Elijah finds himself enjoying Cela's company more than ever.

now that I'm thinking about it some more, because... it's ultimately always this, the weird disjoint in the ways diff communities are talking abt shit like dei and rainbow capitalism and the old chestnut of slur discourse and even y'all's approaches to actions like boycotts and protest IS because all of you continually want to crib from black americans' notes with zero comprehension, having done none of the reading, and with a funky attitude and superiority complex, while also demanding an unearned inner sense of moral purity/condemnation of others on top of demanding to be fucking liked in the process.

my Community if Christ/Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Black history article is out. will be posting soon :)

i was so nervous about it, but now that it's out, i think it's fine and that i did well. which is a relief. i was concerned about coming across as inflammatory, but it doesn't read like that, and the article made it past the FP and church historians. they wouldn't leave me out to dry. neither would the Diversity team.

a brother i really respect, who's like 80, really liked it. and he is a history buff. (he's also the one that consistently asks me about Black culture and my experience as an African American in the Church)

the Apostle/GA for my area sent me an email, and he appreciated it, too.

i think i honored the people i featured, and talked about the challenging parts (racism on behalf of the church mainly) with love and grace while also being raw, honest, and true to the experiences of historical Black church members. as well as my own experience, which is also included.

i hope reading it builds faith in God and in Zion, educates, and illuminates. i really focused on building up Zion together, as equals, with every willing hand.
