Ira Steven Behr being a Zionist is so disappointing to me. You’d think someone who spent nearly a decade writing about the ills of colonialism and genocide would understand I/P in at least a more nuanced way.

Thinking about this bit again today.
Like, it's a cool moment, and it's kinda cute. But also...
Yeah, Banner is ALWAYS angry. And in the movies, we see that primarily as angry about his "condition" and how it means he has to isolate.
But Bruce is a scientist and a doctor. He went to slums on the otherside of the world to isolate, but still helped people. And he left his isolation because he knew it would help people.
I think it's entirely reasonable to theorise that he's angry about the world and how so many people are suffering because of a few billionaires.
I could easily see Hulk being used as a tool to force change. Some protestors try to get an oil field shut down, whatever. The law will prevent that cuz money. Oil derricks won't be bright down by a boat full of Greenpeace volunteers.
But if Hulk shows up and demolishes an oil derrick or a coal power plant, or whatever billionaire's latest public interest-stopping pet project, what are you going to do? Sure, they'll rebuild. But it's very difficult to stop the Hulk, and he can just keep showing up and wrecking the place and leaving green energy stuff alone, and the people who only care about money will eventually have to recognize that carbon producing power is literally more money than it's worth.
Hulk can show up to genocides and smash tanks and block bullets aimed at innocents. Sure, he can't be everywhere, but at a certain point, say, Israel, is going to have to recognize that they are losing all their soldiers to the Hulk. Even a hateful ideologue will cut bait when it's obvious they will fail.
Now, obviously Marvel Studios would never, and even the comics would do some "he has a point but this is wrong too" bullshit.
But I think Bruce Banner, if he's a actually a heroic man who wants to help people, would at least think about it

oh yes because Israel DEFINITELY wasn't forcibly created after ww2 with help from Britain and USA
It's not antisemitic to say that the STATE of Israel was created like that
just got a second official warning for my use of "from the river to the sea, palestine will be free" on the OTW volunteer slack
people are also currently asking board to ban saying that the founding of israel was colonialism—equating this to saying racial slurs—and were complaining about my status back when it was "palestine will be free", too
suffice to say, fuck that place, don't give the OTW your money, and don't fucking volunteer there

hi hello this is your reminder that google are hypocrites(and bds)
the lay offs were on the 18th this month, pretending to celebrate a native culture as you help the military that is actively ethnically cleansing them, and has been for years, is highly hypocritical and just an attempt to save face
in case someone forgot, google is on BDS' "pressure" list, which means it isn't necessary a 100% boycott but rather a target for pressuring and limiting your use of their services to push them towards cutting ties with israel
additional context on dabka:
it is a folk dance from levantine countries like lebanon, jordan, syria, and palestine. with possible origins in ancient phoenician and/or canaanite cultures

Annonas are neat! But over here in Israel they're just being sold as "annona" and I have approximately no idea how to tell which species they are.
I also heard they might be (mildly) poisonous if stored and/or prepared incorrectly, which meant I kept worrying about buying any.
Tumblr media
(if you can't read it, the label at the bottom just says אנונה ישראלי which translates to "Israeli annona", and the price is 49.90 NIS/kg, or about US$6 per pound)
...some googling says this is probably atemoya. Not very sure though as there's a lot of varieties out there.
Happy one year fruit anniversary!
In the past year I've polled some 500 fruits, odd ones, well known ones, rare and even brand new ones. I discovered so many species, as well as my disdain for the musa (bananas) genus (it's just too confusing) and my love for the annona (custard apples) genus.
Tumblr media
Concerning the latter, I had never even tried one, but that changes today, as I will be trying a cherimoya (annona cherimola) which is one of the more well-known annona fruits. But before I share that experience, there's another fruit I haven't tried that I've gotten my hands on, the quince (cydonia oblonga)!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just look at this guy, it's as if it ate a lemon. Sadly it still needs some time to ripen so I'll let you know what it's like soon. It's gotten a lot firmer, but it needs to be a little more yellow before I can try it.
Tumblr media
On to the cherimoya, this only needed another day or so to ripen and today it was soft enough to eat! Its skin changed while ripening as well, with what seemed like pores appearing all over the fruit. Slicing this thing open was almost like cutting an avocado in half, albeit without the big pit in the middle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The fruit has a very neutral smell, with a slightly sweet undertone and the seeds, of which there are many (don't eat those!) are clearly visible. After taking a bite, the first thing that came to my mind was persimmon (diospyros kaki) but the more I ate, the sweeter it got and I noticed some astringency (not to the point of being unpleasant) in the back of my throat. My partner thought it was reminiscent of pear, with notes of vanilla. They also said, and I quote, 'This is what a banana wishes it was'.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We both really enjoyed it and we'll be on the lookout for more cherimoya's. I can't believe I hadn't tried this before! The only problem now is that I want to try all the other species, but honestly I think that was the case before I'd had it.
Tumblr media
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you all for sticking around! Here's to many more fruit polls and hopefully many more fruit reviews as well! ❤️❤️❤️

I sat next to the protest today.
I wrote fan-fiction about two gay jewish dads raising children to the play list of the chant- "No peace on stolen land!" on an American college campus. It isn't a name brand one either, nor does it have any legitimate ties to Israel. The anger is just there- it has rotten these future doctors, nurses, teachers, and members of society.
I don't even know what to call their demonstration- it was a tizzy of a Jew hatred affair. At points, there were empathetic statements about Gazans and their suffering. Then outright support of Hamas and violent resistance against all colonizers. Then this bizarre fixation on antisemitism while explaining the globalists are behind everything.
"Antisemitism doesn't exist. Not in the modern day," A professor gloated over a microphone in front of the library. "It's a weaponized concept, that's prevents us from getting actual places- ignore anyone who tells you otherwise."
"How can we be antisemitic?" A pasty white girl wearing a red Jordanian keffiyeh gloats five minutes later. "Palestinians are the actual semites."
"there is only one solution!" The crowd of over 50 students and faculty cried, over and over.
"Been there, done that," I thought, then added a reference to a mezuza in the fourth paragraph.
Two other Jewish students passed where I was parked out, hunching and trying to be as innocuous as possible. We laughed together at my predicament, where I am willingly hearing this bullshit and feeling so amused by this.
"Am I crazy? For sitting here?" I asked them. My friends shook their heads.
"We did the same last week- it's an amazing experience, isn't it?”
We all cackled hysterically again. They left to study for finals. Two minutes later, I learned from the current speaker that “Zionism” is behind everything bad in this world.
Forty-five minutes in, a boy I recognized joined me on my lonely bench. He came from a very secular Jewish family and had joined Hillel recently to learn more about his culture. His first Seder was two nights ago.
He sat next to me, heavy like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. There was just this despondent look on his face. I couldn’t describe it anyone else, but just sheer hopelessness personified.
“They hate us. I can’t believe how much they hate us.” He said in greeting.
And for the first time all day, I had no snarky response or glib. All I could do was stare out into the crowd, and sigh.

The number of confirmed Palestinian political prisoners has exceeded 10,000 from the West Bank and AlQuds, thousands from Gaza, and hundreds from within the lands occupied in 1948. Conditions in Zionist prisons have always been dire and have gotten significantly worse since October 2033.
Among these prisoners, over 300 are women from the occupied West Bank, while the number of women from Gaza abducted by Zionist forces remains unconfirmed.
Many women endure deliberate medical negligence, denial of communication with family and lawyers, unsanitary conditions, and severe violence. This includes psychological torture with solitary confinement, overcrowded cells filled with insects and dirt, and a lack of natural light. Prisoners are subjected to beatings, insults, threats, and sexual harassment and abuse. Strip searches are common, often used as methods of punishment and humiliation.
Despite continuous threats from the Zionist forces against freed prisoners and their families, these Palestinian women, among countless others named and unnamed, have shown immense courage and steadfastness in their choice to share the torture they have endured.
We demand the freedom of all Palestinian political prisoners. FREE THEM ALL!

Even CNN is reporting the truth more now. But if you are held without being charged, you aren’t a prisoner, you’ve been kidnapped and are a HOSTAGE. And human rights organizations have said that the other 50%, who were charged, were mainly charged with throwing rocks, and that even most of that was made up.
For all the pro israel who came to my posts of Palestinian children celebrating their freedom, calling them terrorists and criminals. Israel is an occupation state, they don't need a reason to arrest you as long as you're Palestinian.

pro palestine protest today in London and suddenly nobody is allowed to wear anything that "conceals their identity" in certain parts of central London and the excuse of "based on evidence" it's so clear this is just racial profiling and islamophobia and a gateway for police harassment and even when asked about masks the pigs are still trying to cover their trail. ok fascist police state

Paramount, Palestine, and This Blog
With the Knuckles series rapidly approaching, I feel it necessary to make a statement about how we will handle media created by Paramount. I have endeavored to keep this account dedicated exclusively to Sonic reference photos. However, as this issue is directly related to a piece of Sonic media, it has become relevant here.
For any who are not aware, Paramount Pictures, the company behind the Sonic movies, released a statement last year expressing their support for Israel and its "right to defend itself." As you probably know by now, Israel's idea of "defending itself" is committing genocide. I won't go into detail here (that is definitely out of this blog's field), but I would recommend doing your own research if you aren't aware of the atrocities happening at the hands of Israel right now. Needless to say, companies publicly supporting genocide is unacceptable; which brings us to the echidna in the room.
Many Sonic fans, myself included, have been looking forward to the Knuckles series. But, given the situation, supporting Paramount by subscribing to Paramount+ to watch Knuckles (or anything else) is not something I can condone.
I would like to humbly request that anyone who reads this avoid watching Knuckles through Paramount+. Please either watch it through "unofficial" channels, or abstain from watching it at all. Show Paramount that we will not ignore genocide.
And now, we return to the reference photos. I have thought long and hard about how to approach Sonic cinematic universe references. On one hand, giving publicity to the SCU will encourage people to watch Paramount media; on the other, refusing to post references will force people to collect their own. In the end, I have decided to approach SCU media similarly to Sonic Speed Simulator (albeit for very different reasons): I will post references, but all Paramount related posts will include a disclaimer condemning Paramount's support of Israel. I will also prioritize non-SCU refs, although you are all welcome to request any SCU characters you would like pictures of.
This is a difficult situation, and I welcome feedback on how best to continue. I ask that everyone remains civil in the notes. If anything changes, I will be sure to let you know.
Stay safe

broken but not destroyed
WHAT A DISAPPOINTING AND HEARTBREAKING FINALE? To have the man who was abused, mutilated, and disabled for protecting the crew, to have a suicide attempt survivor who crawled on the ground, to have someone who battled depression and alcoholism, to cement his role as the 'Ship's Unicorn" (the figurehead that protected the crew) only to reduce him as someone who "had to die" because he had no more narrative feeling, what a slap to the face. DJenkins said he didn't want to fall back into old tropes and burying your gays, but there's an elder disabled queer man you just buried for what, to absolve Ed of his abuse? Izzy died thinking he DESERVED the torture done upon him. What a disgrace. Izzy fans rallied and kickstarted a S3 renewal Campaign. And many of us are heartbroken and grieving for a show who promised kindness but only justified the abuse we've gotten the past months? We stayed and hoped better because of kindness and belonging. "This show is kind" has never rang more hollow. I'll still love and create art for him, but I don't think I can trust any other queer show again. I thought this would be different. Do you want a queer show full of kindness and found family, for all queers, the disabled and survivors and the rough around the edges ones? It's not Our Flag Means Death.

Pro-Palestine music as protest has been a thing for ages but nothing prepared me for "Hind's Hall" by Macklemore, which has both some great lyrics, some great commentary on protests at Columbia, and for which ALL PROCEEDS GO TO UNRWA.
You don't gotta like his music, but damn. Gotta admit Macklemore has been putting his money where his mouth is for months on this issue.
You can donate directly to UNRWA on their website.
It's not yet on streaming platforms but I heard a snippet in Democracy Now, and he posted part of it to Twitter/X.

I will disclaim that I disagree with the "not voting for Biden" thing, due to the fact that I personally believe that the American political system forces a Lesser Evil approach. I understand the intent, but I do disagree on a personal and political level.

There is no version of a conflict between two historically oppressed peoples who both claim one piece of land as their ancestral homeland that isn’t nuanced & complex. The only simple “solution” is genocide.
Israel-Palestine is complicated. Anyone telling you differently is selling you genocide.
