"Benjamin Netanyahu has been prime minister for longer than other Israeli leaders since the country’s birth in 1948 and is increasingly unpopular, but many of his policies in Gaza and the occupied West Bank enjoy huge Israeli support. The problem in Israel isn’t solely Netanyahu. He’s the symptom of a major larger societal shift. Replacing him with another carbon copy will change little for the millions of Palestinians who live under a brutal military occupation. One possible successor, Benny Gantz, has spent his career proudly promoting the destruction he’s caused in Gaza in previous wars. There’s long been a western obsession with Netanyahu, wrongly believing that he’s the impediment to a more humane "Jewish state". It’s the same mistake recently made by US President Joe Biden and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer, who argued that Netanyahu was blocking any prospect of peace in the region. It’s his belligerence, we’re told, that makes ending the Gaza onslaught impossible. When cautiously questioned by CNN recently, Netanyahu said that he wasn’t some fringe player in Israel but a leader who spoke for many Israelis, pursuing policies in Gaza with broad mainstream backing. He was right, and ignoring this reality doesn’t make it go away."

Jopper: You can find love again after being divorced.
Duzie: Love isn’t about social status and the validation of having a partner but rather things like common interests and love of each other’s company.
Stobin: Your “true love” doesn’t have to be a romantic one and you can be entirely fulfilled by a best friend.
Jancy: Love and family does not need to be the focus of your life. You can have those things while still being career driven and oriented.
ElMike: Romantic and platonic love are not hierarchal. Sometimes one relationship is closer and better as friends than as lovers. (similar to Stobin but rather than exchanging a friend for a romantic partner, shifting the nature of one relationship)
Lumax: A loving and supporting relationship is more important than the social disapproval that may come with it. (similar to Duzie but with higher stakes of racist consequences rather than just a lack of societal approval, an active disapproval)
Byler: Queer people are just as deserving of love and romance and do not need to settle for platonic relationships if they want more.
#ship analysis#stranger things#themes#narrative arcs#sorry but 'even bullied kids can eventually find the societally accepted picket fence life' just doesn't fit#there is nothing wrong with that irl but as far as narrative themes go it doesn't fit into this show#the one that does a nature of their relationship shift#which also inherently means stop being toxic antis and saying they shouldn't have any relationship at all#byler#jopper#platonic stobin#platonic elmike#lumax#duzie#dustin x suzie#jancy#character arcs

On one hand I’m like “how did we as a society fuck up so hard that being around small children in regular public shared spaces, not age-restricted businesses or organizations etc, is like a point of Discourse?”
but on the other I’m kinda like. idk. I watched, for several years, lots of people tell us we were Bad People for being willing, in theory, to pay more money for a flight with a 14+ age limit. or expecting you to take your screaming baby outside if you’re at an event in an enclosed indoor space. Or even privately complaining about a crying baby on a plane when you don’t say or do anything antagonistic to the parents in response. Just anything other than unbridled joy about being around a little kid is an indication that you have rot deep in your soul. So 🫠
#we [collective.. societal] have made the bed and we have to lie in it I fear#also the lack of support for young adults post-recession (there ideally should have been a wave of new funding for young families)#like just a lot of failures along the way but idk I don’t think this rests on the shoulders of the weird r/childfree people actually#the vibe shifted at some point but it’s not *just* about that/them#I guess what I’m saying is that it’s an intersection of parents entitlement that has always existed and economic circumstances that mak#*make parenthood gradually rarer…

I'm so sorry
But in the alternate timeline where Bruce dies in the alley, Martha becomes the joker and Thomas becomes Batman... what if the joker-ication process of Martha is a slow thing. They all mourn the loss of Bruce in their own ways while blaming themselves. Alfred blaming himself for not being there to fight the dude off before anything happens to anyone. Thomas blaming himself for taking Bruce to the theatre. Martha blaming herself for suggesting a nice walk home.
Overtime Martha gets more confrontational towards the two, "THIS IS YOUR FAULT FOR TAKING US TO THE STUPID SHOW! YOU LAZED ABOUT WHILE MY BABY WAS DYING!"
The words getting more harsh until Alfred confronts her in the kitchen saying it's no one's fault and they should work on comforting each other instead of tearing each other apart.
Martha laughs and slowly the laugh gets more psychotic before she takes the knife she was using and stabs him with it.
Thomas finds Martha laughing over Alfred's body, his blood smeared over her face in the shape of a bloody smile and he screams.
They're both broken.
Hi!! Thank you for the ask, first of all. Sadly, everything that has to do with the joker in a story-focused way (aka where I have to put a lot of energy into) Is a bore hazard for me.
#i guess the reason i can't get into the joker is mainly due to the fact that the media chose to hypercomplexify him#in my eyes the line between joker and a regular toxic man is very blurry. for exemple#co depency on other men - in this case bruce - abuse of women. children. justifying terrible decisions on a society#he explicitly makes worse. 'joker isn't actually insane' is a long debunked myth.#insanity -- if we go by classic definition- is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results#joker's actions are repetitive because he WANTS the same results all the time. which makes me think of men#having such a deep seeted hatred towards progress and positive shifts in society. when there's a change in community#be it diversity. inclusion. breaking societal norms. or the improvement of injustices towards minorities#whos the first group to cry? men.#and that makes me think. maybe joker isn't a crazy guy. maybe he's just a regular guy in terrible make up#and you can't get more pathetic than that

It would seem that Isabella’s crime was also that of her critics. More than once she was accused of letting the woman in her overcome the queen. If this was indeed so, then her critics, too, eternalized the woman in her and her life style, forgetting the queen and her influence, for better or for worse, on the history of England. From this viewpoint it seems that Isabelle, like any other historical figure, deserves a more scientific and less emotional analysis of her activities. If the kings of England are not measured according to their morality alone, then Isabelle of France should not be denied this privilege either.
Sophia Menache, Isabelle of France, queen of England — A Reconsideration, Journal of Medieval History, 10 (1984)
#isabella of france#i don't think i agree with this totally since a king's moral behaviour was and is often scrutinised#(and in some cases the question of their morality has changed with shifts in societal attitudes - cf. richard i)#though i would say that the morality of a king is more obviously tied to critiques of their rule and kingship#so for instance accusations of sodomy are off implicitly tied to political critiques of a king#whereas with isabella the baseline is that she is an emotional woman in want of a good man and that's what drives her#whether you think she's good or evil#or whether you think the good man is edward ii or roger mortimer#but i think the main point menache is making is still right - we need to get away from viewing isabella as a domestic figure

Because I am lazy with reinventing stuff I have been looking at some fallen angels (mostly Watchers because there is a list) and it's so funny to me that there is/was an angel around to "Cure the stupidity of men" Like thanks I need no more
also there was one guy which bascially was a constellation myth for Orion and he and Azazel(/Lucifer/Satan/whoever pointed Eve to the apple) were punished by hanging out between Heaven and Earth...forever or a long time but that got me to think...this would mean that (insert name of whoever tempted Eve in YOUR specific texts) is also a constellation, and if it's Lucifer it'd be the Morning Star which from what I remember either refers to Venus OR the brightest Star in the Sky aka Sirius aka part of Canis Major aka the constellation right next to Orion Fallen Angel shenanigans in the Sky? it's more likely than you think
also smth smth them being turned into Constellations and humanity using Fallen Angels, aka the givers of forbidden knowledge (you know..like reading and stuff) to navigate smth smth
#txts#look i know this is an overall...mix of many canons#not all bible#but i always associate that stuff with the bible bc thats my first introduction i got to this kinda God and his cohort#its still part of christianity and judaism afaik#but i think it was part of different books#.....i think even B.C but i also think some stuff referred to Jesus#but that might have just been Abaddon whose canon goes beyond a name and title#good for them#or them as a place#or them as dirt digger#or them as witness of jesus rebirth#i'll stop there#i enjoyed digging through greek myths as a kid#this tbh brings the same stuff out again#bc you can just see the connections people have made#and how they explained the world and happenings around them#by making up a lot of funky little guys#and telling stories to teach societal conventions#or sometimes just to make smth cool up (also good)(maybe not for historians but hey)#so anyhow i am absolutely imaging Samyaza(insert 20different ways to spell his name here) getting plopped up there#and Az/luci/satan/whomever at this point just going 'First Time?'#as they both just have to hang out around there#does it make sense? not rly#but neither does texts describing Azazel as someone distinct from Lucifer#or him as both a place AND a fallen angel#and sometimes the same one as Samael#bc these texts are fucking old and from various places and cultures and ever shifting depending on what was needed#so in this one canon(my headcanon)...this exists now

I understand why it’s important and why this question may be interpreted as rude, but I am genuinely curious and I want to learn more. What is the best case scenario for completely boycotting voting for the democrats?
See that's the fun part
I genuinely am not sure.
I genuinely don't know and at this rate I'm a little scared?
I don't wanna vote for Biden again. And in a perfect world (or at least my ideal) enough people would vote for hard for 3rd party that Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia would be voted into office. Hell, if the Democrats backed someone who wasn't Joe Biden for president I'd have more hope (depending on the person of course).
Unfortunately any conversation I have outside of Tumblr about the election basically ends in 'yeah I don't like Biden and I don't like Trump but voting 3rd party isn't really an option because of how the system works' so it's really hard for me to believe that enough people are gonna actually vote third party for it to work the way we'd like?
So the best case scenario would be 'so many people vote for a third party candidate like Claudia and Karina that they get elected into office and make sweeping changes we all love and need.'
I'm just not sure if the best case scenario is what's actually gonna happen. In fact, I am really scared that it won't.
I know this isn't the bright sunny hopeful take people were probably hoping for from the resident SolarpunkAni but its something that's been kinda haunting me for the past few weeks so here's my thoughts.
#out of queue#ani rambles#answered asks#anonymous#not to be all 'this is about me' but like#shits gonna suck under biden globally shits also gonna suck globally under trump but in a way that i fear will be Even Worse#especially if the whole project 2025 thing kicks off? im in florida im fucked#i think if project 2025 kicks off the whole world is kinda fucked#and I HATE the idea that Biden is the only thing standing between that without an entire societal uprising occuring in the span of months#but if i bring up 3rd party voting in an irl conversation people LAUGH at me i just can't see a huge sweeping shift in votes

good evening gamers I am feeling so much dread for the future
#what *I'm* feeling isn't important really.#go listen to people whose voices actually NEED to be heard. im just some random blog#still i feel anxious#in general it feels like the world is about to go through another wave of huge societal shifts#or like. how waves recede a lot before a tsunami hits#like that

respectfully, may i ask what your pronouns are? (if you're comfortable sharing) (also, your wankfest fic was amazing!)
(THANK YOU!!! I’m so glad you liked it!!!!)
You may!
Gender is… complicated for me. So pronouns are both also hard and not at all.
lolllll I think mostly my issue with pronouns is that they’re used when someone is talking ABOUT me which means I am BEING PERCEIVED which is the worrrrrrsssttt (yes, I am working on this in therapy 😂) and if gender is complicated for me to unwind then like how can I possibly try to explain at any given moment how I feel to others. SO! Truly genuinely I am okay if people use any pronouns at all for me. I am not offended by she/they/he or any neo-pronouns you want to use or my name or HEY YOU! lollll really really I am okay with any and all of them.
That being said!!!!
They is probably “easiest” and IRL I mostly go by she/they because of how fem presenting I am.
And then, at some point I realized that no one ever called me masc pronouns so I asked my pocket friends in my GC to use he/him as a test and you know what…… a THRILL runs though me whenever they remember and use it. (I am currently trying to pick out if this is a “I am important to them and they remember” thrill or if this is what people mean by “gender euphoria” (another great thing I’m working on!)
Ummmm so tl;dr…. Any at all are fine with me! But if you want to give me a little zip of happiness, he/him does the trick!
#gender is hard because it’s all SOCIETAL and shifts and blah blah blah and it’s so much more than simple feelings#which are hard enough!#lol#anyway anyone who wants to discuss gender in good faith can come in my inbox or dm anytime!

It's so very important to me that when people throw around the terms TME and TMA that they understand that TMA =/= only transfeminine people.
The terms TMA and TME were created to because AGAB doesn't fully cover the lived experiences of the variety of trans, nonbinary, and intersex people. It's explicitly NOT meant to be AMAB = TMA and AFAB = TME. Not everyone AMAB who is nonbinary is transfeminine. Nonbinary people of any AGAB can be targeted by transmisogyny depending on their transitioning experience. Intersex people don't have to be CAMAB to be targeted by transmisogyny.
And that's not even broaching how race and transphobia intersect.
#transmisogyny is such a touchy topic#yes its supposed to be this specific form of oppression against trans women#but transphobia is inherently rooted in racism and ableism its the same oppression now shifted onto a more societally appropriate target#thats why misogynoir and transmisogyny often show up in the same exact ways but with different intended targets#TME/TMA was created ti discuss that disparity and now people just (incorrectly) use it as AGAB 2.0#dollie rambles#trans#transgender

Interesting and prescient insight from a 1992 essay written by distinguished professor of History at CUNY Graduate Center, John Patrick Diggins (b.1935 - d.2009)
“1990 marks a curious time when the Left in the United States has no political significance but considerable educational influence, no power to affect immediate events but considerable authority to shape the minds of the young. Having lost the class war in the factories and the fields, the American Left continues the battle for cultural hegemony in the classroom.”
#american society#culture wars#the left in America#cultural hegemony#John Patrick Diggins#cuny#insights#education#institutional capture#goofy shit#societal emasculation#intellectual constipation#identity politics#the long game#cultural shifts#authoritarian statism#mediocrity for the masses#wolf in sheep's clothing#trojan horse#social regression#luxury beliefs#ideology becomes religion

🐺 The Thatcher Family - original work
[template by the lovely @unholymilf]
#oc insp: jayde thatcher#oc insp: skye thatcher#oc insp: andrea thatcher#oc insp: tristan thatcher#as soon as I saw this template I wanted to make something for them#my fav aesthetic is yeehaw werewolves and that’s what they had going on before everything went bad….#Andrea loved her horses and Tristan loved his moo cows and Skye loved her chickens 😔#Jayde was just happy to help out with barn chores#and every full moon they would shift and run together#Tristan and Andrea made the girls’ first shifts extra special too#if things hadn’t gone to shit they probably would have had more kids too#but Tristan be dead as hell……..#and Jayde witnessed it at 16 and blames herself#and werewolves mate for life so Andrea won’t and doesn’t want to find love again#I’d say Skye was lucky cause she got dropped off at a family friend pack#but their alpha is a peace of work and she viewed Skye as a prize because it was assumed she was the last of her line#and that alpha is VERY old fashioned and is obsessed with purebred bloodlines and pack hierarchies#a very archaic way of thinking with a lot of modern wolves#but they also have long lifespans so there’s some werewolf Boomers out there#ok I need to stop rambling but I have put SO much thought into how werewolf societal structures work in my original work lmao
