"Mother of humanity", showcasing how bloody history passed down only repeats itself. How mother of humanity developed the country by ruining the people, how mother of humanity has glorified demon monkeys as pets. How mother rof humanity doesn't still see the fight we are fighting, the motivation behind it.

If this is humanity then I would rather be an animal.

If this is freedom then l'd rather be in a cage.

To someone, though I am 20 years old, a university student, old enough to understand politics, I am still a young child who cannot know better.

Every time I tell her about something horrible happening she is always saying "what is the benefit? They are only wasting their time, energy and 'unnecessarily' causing problems"

Everytime I bring her a news, she says "fake, no news channel showed that", woman, that is the point. They aren't showing anything. Mind you this is the same person who believes every life hack she sees on facebook.

Everytime I am telling her someone is dead, she is saying, "why did they go? Of course they'd get shot".

What is this logic? Why would a person, a student, someone my age get shot just because they talked about their rights?

I ended up making this after talking to her. I couldn't show anger, couldn't go out. Art is my hobby, now it is my voice.

If our family, friends and older generations hold this kind of mindset, "Mother of Humanity" will live on.

"It is a sharp mind that feels sympathy for one who suffers unnecessarily, not a soft heart."

[fictionadventurer]

Pop culture reduces It's a Wonderful Life to that last half hour, and thinks the whole thing is about this guy traveling to an alternate universe where he doesn't exist and a little girl saying, "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings." A hokey, sugary fantasy. A light and fluffy story fit for Hallmark movies.

But this reading completely glosses over the fact that George Bailey is actively suicidal. He's not just standing there moping about, "My friends don't like me," like some characters do in shows that try to adapt this conceit to other settings. George's life has been destroyed. He's bankrupt and facing prison. The lifetime of struggle we've been watching for the last two hours has accomplished nothing but this crushing defeat, and he honestly believes that the best thing he can do is kill himself because he's worth more dead than alive. He would have thrown himself from a bridge had an actual angel from heaven not intervened at the last possible moment.

That's dark. The banker villain that pop culture reduces to a cartoon purposely drove a man to the brink of suicide, which only a miracle pulled him back from. And then George Bailey goes even deeper into despair. He not only believes that his future's not worth living, but that his past wasn't worth living. He thinks that every suffering he endured, every piece of good that he tried to do was not only pointless, but actively harmful, and he and the world would be better off if he had never existed at all.

This is the context that leads to the famed alternate universe of a million pastiches, and it's absolutely vital to understanding the world that George finds. It's there to specifically show him that his despondent views about his effect on the universe are wrong. His bum ear kept him from serving his country in the war--but the act that gave him that injury was what allowed his brother to grow up to become a war hero. His fight against Potter's domination of the town felt like useless tiny battles in a war that could never be won--but it turns out that even the act of fighting was enough to save the town from falling into hopeless slavery. He thought that if it weren't for him, his wife would have married Sam Wainwright and had a life of ease and luxury as a millionaire's wife, instead of suffering a painful life of penny-pinching with him. Finding out that she'd have been a spinster isn't, "Ha ha, she'd have been pathetic without you." It's showing him that she never loved Wainwright enough to marry him, and that George's existence didn't stop her from having a happier life, but saved her from having a sadder one. Everywhere he turns, he finds out that his existence wasn't a mistake, that his struggles and sufferings did accomplish something, that his painful existence wasn't a tragedy but a gift to the people around him.

Only when he realizes this does he get to come back home in wild joy over the gift of his existence. The scenes of hope and joy and love only exist because of the two hours of struggle and despair that came before. Even Zuzu's saccharine line about bells and angel wings exists, not as a sugary proverb, but as a climax to Clarence's story--showing that even George's despair had good effect, and that his newfound thankfulness for life causes not only earthly, but heavenly joy.

If this movie has light and hope, it's not because it exists in some fantasy world where everything is sunshine and rainbows, but because it fights tooth and nail to scrape every bit of hope it can from our all too dark and painful world. The light here exists, not because it ignores the dark, but because the dark makes light more precious and meaningful. The light exists in defiance of the dark, the hope in defiance of despair, and there is nothing saccharine about that. It's just about as realistic as it gets.

TW: VIOLENCE, BLOOD , INJURIES

We (Bangladeshi) students are currently peacefully protesting against quota,but Student League an organization of the government ambushed us.Nearly two hundred people were injured and many were killed in the attack. At this time we need you very much because the journalists of our country are on the side of the government.They have no news on this issue.They have not promoting about on this issue.Seeking freedom has now become a crime for us.

Our Prime Minister lebeled us as traitors just because we wanted equal rights.

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

modern rpgs ‘let the playable character actually be their own character who is equally as grounded in the world as the other characters’ challenge honestly like. it seems like there’s this assumption that adding too much background to a pc limits ‘player agency’ but that’s not what i personally want player agency to mean? if i wanted to create my own oc whole-cloth i would do that. i want to be told a story about someone who feels like a real person who i then have the chance to make my own through playing. i know some people really enjoy having things be totally open-ended but i am simply NOT that creative okay i need to be thrown a bone here 😭
