also here's two terrible photos of what ive been knitting this week:

there's too many stitches so i cant stretch it out properly, and the construction makes it hard to really show it off. also im in bed so it's the best i can do right now.

anyhow this is clue 1 of Stephen West's Go Go Dynamo MKAL, which im two weeks behind on but it's fine. it's been fun so far, minus the 'bubbles', which are the bane of my existence.

pretty please, my fellow progressives

Could we please all keep in mind that the concept of "The Jews In General, or A Specific Type Of Jew, Controls Education, Government, Media, and/or Banking", is a longstanding antisemitic trope?

And most of all, that it is false??

No, a marginalized group does not also control education, the government, the media, and/or banking?

No, Jews do not secretly control these things and just pretend to be marginalized? No, Jews have not secretly been accumulating power since the Holocaust, granted by too-generous gentiles, out of pity?

No, it isn't better if you just mean a specific subgroup or kind of Jews. It's still specifically Jews.

It's like when people who hate trans/queer people are fine with rich white cis gay men. So they think it's not bigoted to blame "people with blue hair and pronouns" for the downfall of society.

We all know this means, "I only see some of you as human like me. You have to speak and act a certain way to count. Everyone in your group has to pass a test to get into the Good group."

Doesn't work.

Sure, it gives them plausible deniability to the people who matter to them. But everyone else can see exactly how they feel.

We've all known for years that it's bad to think of a marginalized group as having some "good ones." Rein it the heck in, please.

Because YES, all of those examples are ones I've seen implied, or stated outright, over and over, within the progressive community. This month alone.

Saw a YT vid with the title, "Fandom Can't Handle Asexuality"

You're right, they can't... Because it doesn't fucking exist to them.

I'm sorry for dragging about this topic but... my biggest problem with people blaming it all on the CCP it's not only because other Chinese companies have been and are capable of making more skin tone diversity and respecting ethnic and racial identity but that this issue has been present in many other, particularly East Asian, companies and studios that are not affected by the CCP. And the reason is simple: colorism, racism, beauty standards and the like (smh it was more common for people to bring this up back when Sumeru released but now what people bring up a lot is the CCP for Natlan?)

Aspects about Natlan and Sumeru give me the same impression of how other non-chinese companies and studios envision these swana, desi, latino, etc regions in simplistic even innappropiate ways. Look around art by East Asian artists and studios, light skinned characters that resemble arab and desi stereotypes; look other Asian regions, you find artists like Kooleen whose controversy may be quite known. As a Sonic fan I can say that I expected Natlan to be some Knuckles tribe shit, and SEGA has shown to make characters lighter that were initially presented to be darker. This has been quite common, it's not a CCP exclusive issue.

so like i want to talk more abt what suicidal means but the problem is "suicidal ideation presents in two general forms, active and passive. the thing most people think of as suicidal is the active version, where the person *actively* desires to be dead and/or is making a plan to get there. the passive form however gets almost no attention in media so many people experiencing it are unaware they are even depressed, much less passively suicidal. some examples: not wanting to experience death but feeling like you wouldn't mind if you didn't wake up tomorrow or just stopped existing; feeling deeply exhausted with just the entire concept of being alive; even feeling like you want to run away, change your name, and start a whole new life; none of these look like suicidal ideation to most people because they don't involve actively doing anything to get from point a to point b, especially the more abstract ones like the start a new life thing - but remember that in order to truly start a whole new life, you have to destroy your current one. it's not suicidal as in wanting to actually DIE die, it's just. wanting something close enough to scratch the itch. but just because you haven't booked the ticket doesn't mean you don't still revisit the 'vacation activities at point b' tab occasionally to daydream, yknow?" is i think very informative and specific, but its also quite long and run on-y so people are v likely to tap out like a third of the way through it, whereas "suicidal doesnt necessarily mean wanting to die" is way shorter and therefore catchier, but is also the kind of nonspecific phrasing that gets you a thousand angry anons about how you said all suicidal people are just pretending they actually want to die or some dumb shit. so it's a fun line to toe

No but to understand how much this and the Nightwish concert 1.5 years ago meant to me you should've been there when I was 15-16 and absolutely deranged

i actually don’t think the kids are gonna splinter off as quickly as some people think they will. i think that they’ve got too many enemies coming at them from all sides and they’re gonna close Roy ranks HEAVILY and probably encourage each other to do some truly heinous shit to the underlings around them as (a) fucked up means of coping with logan’s loss and b) asserting their viciousness as a collective. which is what psychologically they’ll believe logan will want them to do. 

and when there’s no one on the outside to fight anymore.... THAT’S when i think they’ll ultimately have to turn on each other but i also don’t think it’s gonna be as cut and dry as ONE SIBLING BETRAYS THE OTHERS.

 it’s gonna be a slow and steady build up that we’re gonna see flashes of here and there WHILE they’re a united front. till the other shoe inevitably drops.

we have moved on to persuasive speeches in comm class n bc we have so little time left in the semester they're gonna be partner debates, so i have grouped up with the guy in there with whom i started talking abt genshin a while back, n we're just like. "fuck it. let's just do the ethics of gacha games and whether they should be regulated like gambling in casinos"
