can we all agree that making fun of people for micro labels is kinda cringe?

im the kind of person who finds it difficult to reconcile all the parts of my identity and just using one umbrella term feels reductive. my relationships and feelings deserve terms just as much as anyone else.

Okay maybe I’m being dumb, but I think throwing video games out of the conversation about gun violence completely is a bad idea. Because it’s not the video games themselves, but the culture around video games really does allow alt-right ideas to spread to young white boys.

Alt-right ideology has a tendency to spread through ‘jokes’ and you can see this really clearly in video game culture. The culture can be a great example of this behavior in action. But I worry that the conversation is so focused on ‘violence in video games’ and not enough on ‘video game culture is very toxic and often problematic’

The LGBTQ+ human rights crisis in Russia is getting worse

The Russian Government is currently trying to make it as difficult as possible to transition or be transgender within the country. This includes making marriage much more difficult, and make changing identity markers like sex much more difficult. Additionally, transgender parents will no longer be able to adopt. This is a critical human rights issue.

Most notably they’re moving to put sex on birth certificates (which they currently do not have). This is clearly to target transgender individuals. They also seek to null all same-sex marriages even if done overseas

So, what can you do?

You can contact the Duma and Council with information found here.

You can also sign this petition, which I know many people do not believe in but they CAN make change so at least try.

crowley absolutely likes the velvet underground solely because of “after hours” which reminds him and aziraphale.

if you’re wondering:

“If you close the door

The night could last forever

Leave the wine-glass out

And drink a toast to never

Oh, someday I know

Someone will look into my eyes

And say hello

You're my very special one”

And

“Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars

And the people on subways and trains”

okay but seriously, as someone who is Jewish, stop using us as your fucking things to throw around. nothing bothers me more than hearing conservative Christians say “omg you’re hurting jewish people!” all the while being extremely anti Semitic. not to mention liberals who do the same thing to appeal to those same conservatives. like we’re TELLING YOU that this shit is bad, and it’s terrible and you’re walking all over us telling us that we’re being extreme. Come the fuck on. This is a humanitarian crisis at the border, and it’s being perpetrated by America. We have a full on fascist as President. Let’s talk about that instead of policing how every one thinks Jewish people feel about the tone. We’re telling you how we feel about the tone:

It’s fucking accurate as hell, and we need to stop the actual fucking concentration camps at the border.

Jewish people: Never Again means now Jewish people: When we say Never Again we don’t mean just us Jewish people: This is the same exact way this started for us last time Jewish people: We’re being arrested for trying to do something and they aren’t letting people know what’s happening or how many have died Jewish people: These are concentration camps, start calling them that. Goy, repeatedly: Uhhh, calling them that diminishes the suffering of The Jews, so you shouldn’t make those comparisons!!

Goy can (and should) reblog but don’t comment.

someone 100% correct me if I’m wrong, or explain it to me, but I think cancel culture has one big strikingly ableist thing and that is how the consumption of the media is ridiculed to such a point where an individual who is neurodivergent feels uncomfortable divulging their interest in the topic.

like alright some media is problematic, and a lot of time media creators are problematic, but for the love of god can we agree not to cyber bully autistic kids on the internet for creating art, and fan fictions, and stuff?

like literally 100% correct me if I’m wrong but like...that’s pretty kinda ableist right.

Julio Jones rebounds from injury to deliver impressive, terrifying performance

ATLANTA — He was lurking, running decoy routes and the occasional quick slant. He took plays off, jogging to the sideline and watching with the rest of the Georgia Dome as Mohamed Sanu gashed the Green Bay Packers defense. You started to wonder whether the reports of injuries to his toe and foot were even more severe than reported.

And then Julio Jones reminded you that he’s Julio Jones, and the only thing that remained in doubt was how many points he’d hang on the poor Packers … and how badly he could carve up the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Atlanta thrashed Green Bay 44-21 to win the NFC championship and earn the franchise’s second Super Bowl berth, and Jones played a central role. The all-universe Falcons receiver, the man for whom Atlanta traded a king’s ransom of draft picks and still came out ahead, the Human Boost Button, Jones ended the first half and kicked off the second with two plays that stomped out whatever embers remained of Green Bay’s flickering hopes.

Seven seconds remaining in the half. Falcons up 17-0, on the Packers’ 5-yard line, maybe one snap remaining. Jones curled into the end zone, fronted overmatched cornerback LaDarius Gunter, and dove toward the sideline as Matt Ryan rifled a pass his way. Jones caught the ball about 3 feet off the ground, planted his foot and then somehow managed to drag the curl of his right instep just inside the green of the end zone. A review confirmed what Jones already knew: 24-0, Falcons.

Sixty-one seconds of game clock later, with Atlanta having forced Green Bay into a three-and-out that took just 11 seconds off the clock, Jones cut straight across the field from left to right, caught a Ryan pass like he was picking up keys off a table, and then stiff-armed, eluded and outran four Packers. And he did it in less time than it took you to read that sentence.

“Their plan was to tug and hold,” Jones said. “Any cornerback is going to do that, to mess up the timing that the quarterback and the receiver have. I spinned out, and Matt gave me a floater and let me run through the ball. After that, those guys couldn’t tackle me once I got going.”

“I knew it was going to Julio, so I just sat back and watched,” Sanu said. “It was pretty. It was beautiful! That guy’s an alien. It’s definitely a sight to see.”

Just like that, the Falcons were up 31-0, sending every Atlanta fan with disposable income to check flight schedules to Houston.

“He’s a beast. I mean, he’s an absolute stud,” Ryan said. “He was impressive today. And I know he wasn’t feeling his best, but he’s a warrior, and he went out and competed for us.”

“Competed” is polite Matt Ryanspeak for throttled, destroyed, vanquished, exterminated. Jones finished with 180 yards and two touchdowns, nine receptions on 12 targets. And he did it despite injuries to his foot and toe that limited him in practice.

“’He couldn’t run all week,” running back Devonta Freeman said. “Saw his toe. It was so swollen.”

Jones wouldn’t hear talk of taking it easy, taking plays off. “It’s not about me. I’m out here with 53 other guys,” he said. “If I can get out there and move around, I’m going to do it. It’s easy to sit down and quit on yourself, but when you’re doing it for other people, other people’s families, you’ve got to do it.”

They did it. From the opening drive, Jones and Sanu, along with fellow receiver Taylor Gabriel and a supporting cast of seemingly hundreds, rolled out the full Falcons assault, running the Packers up and down the field, breaking them down bit by bit.

“We definitely had them shook early on,” he said. “Sanu made a few plays, so they tried to take Sanu away from us. Then I make a few plays, then [Taylor] Gabriel makes a few plays, then we’d run the ball. It was gassing them a little bit. Those guys started looking at each other, and right then we knew we had them.”

Jones ducked off the celebratory podium shortly after a brief Terry Bradshaw postgame interview, and remained hidden in the recesses of the Falcons locker room for nearly an hour. When he emerged, he was all smiles – he’s going to the Super Bowl, who wouldn’t be? – and he was as evasive with questions about his toe as he’d been with Packers defenders out on the field.

When asked if he’d been able to run at full speed, he smiled. “I didn’t run full speed at practice,” he said. “I ain’t going to tell you no story.”

But game day has a way of healing injuries that nag during practice. During pregame, Jones pronounced himself fit and ready for a full workload. “Once I knew I could run, I was good to go,” he said. “Of course I’m going to feel it, but it didn’t hinder me too much from doing what I needed to do.”

If Jones had any regrets, it was that he couldn’t continue one of his favorite traditions. After scoring, Jones often hands the ball to one of his offensive linemen for a glorious, turf-rattling spike. Not so this time. “They didn’t get down there fast enough,” he laughed.

Next up: 13 days of preparation and media hype, and then a date with the AFC champion New England Patriots. Plenty of time for Jones to heal up whatever nagging injuries remain … and a Julio Jones with an even broader repertoire than he showed Sunday is a nightmare of a matchup.

“Can’t nobody stop us but us,” Jones said, and he might well be right.
