A sunny Good Friday walk around the pond in the old mill town/company town/bruksort of Hälleforsnäs. Founded 1659 and closed down in 1997. 338 years of industry history.

I am so tickled by the thought of Daniel’s family seeing him at almost 80 branch out into a new social circle comprised of beautiful men in their 20s and 30s that are also the most intense and bizarre people anyone’s ever met and worse now Dad is acting Exactly Like Them

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

Me explaining, once more, that being interested in a particular historical figure or era does NOT necessarily equate to supporting it ‼️ Creators shouldn’t have to make a piece of work “clean” just because some readers may get uncomfortable. If anything, we should be promoting the exploration of uncomfortable topics- proper research and portrayal should be praised. Bring back historical and media literacy.

I have yet to see an argument against rednote that is valid and not just the manifestation of the red scare and American exceptionalism. “But.. but the CCP is stealing your data and selling it to their government!1!” WOAH REALLY? wow, I sure am glad that I use Facebook and Instagram instead, American apps that were some of the first ever worldwide to specifically steal and sell Americans information to the us government! I Really dodged a bullet there! “But, but the CCP is commiting a genocide?!!” Yeah, and that’s horrible, reprehensible, but so is what the United States has done, multiple genocides in the past few years alone actually, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, all genocides funded and influenced if not outright carried out by the United States government. “Yeah well, well did you know that the Chinese are only nice to foreigners? They HATE eachother!!!” ???? Have you??? Seen ??? How?? We?? Have?? Treated?? Eachother?? The?? Past?? 8?? Years??? Like really? THATS your bombshell mic drop argument?? And finally, of course, “but-but China wants to sell you PROPAGANDA!!” Like what? That the United States is an oppressive imperial entity that controls the world through fear?? Yeah, no fucking shit bitch, I’ve BEEN knew, I LIVE here. All of these arguments, all of these claims of American superiority, are the result of DECADES of carefully crafted propaganda and paranoia campaigns designed specifically to convince you that communism is some great unimaginable evil in order to shift your eyes away from the actions of our OWN government. We are no better, and no worse, than the CCP, and anyone who believes otherwise, is one of the hundreds of millions who has been successfully duped by the most powerful empire in the world.

History isn't a disparate collection of stories from long ago. It's the necessary context for the present moment and the forecast for the future. All histories are intertwined, and the narratives of power and privilege, oppression and resistance, adversity and triumph are as constant in their patterns as the laws of physics.
