I'm making the RiverClan Trio (Minnowtail, Rippletail, and Beetlewhisker) antagonist-adjacent in my AU, for petty stuff in Po3 and for actual horrors in OotS, and while talking to Vio I got the cursed idea that they're like those anti rivals you see in kids superhero shows that parallel the protags in power and personality and maybe appearance (think the Rowdyruff Boys from PPG) and now I wanna lean into that. Make Po3 basically just an episodic superhero kids show parody. Go all out with it's ridiculous premise

The most frustrating part of engaging in any of this discourse with pro-Israel people is that they claim there's just something ineffable about "seeing and understanding" how supporting Palestinian liberation is directly calling for the eradication of Jewish people (as if that type of rhetoric isn't exactly how actual antisemitism often manifests in online spaces but that's a topic for another day)

They get through people debunking the "the land belongs to the people of Israel anyway" argument and the "LGBTQ Palestinians are safe in Israel" argument and the "Genocide isn't what's happening here so you should educate yourself" argument and when all of those points are meticulously disproven over and over they still stand with "Well, myself and your Jewish friends see the hate you have in your heart for us" and it truly doesn't matter what you say at that point because even if you yourself are Jewish they will claim that refusing to support the state, government and military of Israel is inherently hateful and bigoted, as if a religious ethnostate is some inherent human right that is being taken away from them. I know many of them are blinded by the relentless propaganda that's been around their whole lives and how hard it is to break free from a belief system that is so tied to your core identity as a human being but it is so frustrating watching people being led straight to the point over and over again and just turning around and refusing to see it.

It's also so frustrating to see people using the momentum of this movement to casually tack on actual antisemitism to these discussions, as if having Jewish people in positions of power is why the US bends over backwards to excuse the actions of Israel and not, yknow, the fact that our government directly benefits from having a military stronghold in the middle east. I've talked to some well-meaning pro-Palestine friends irl who casually use antisemetic talking points because they've ALSO bought into the narrative that Israeli = Jewish and so they blame the actions of Israel and the IDF on Jewish people's "religious values" and ignore the fact that this conflict really has almost nothing to do with religion itself and everything to do with capitalism, imperialism and maintaining the US's status as a so-called "global power".

modern au delanceys are both prescribed a whole host of psychiatric meds from years of attempted treatment and management through the care system/juvenile detention. oscar is frequently unmedicated because he forgets or neglects to take his meds, but morris is on stuff that causes severe withdrawal symptoms if he’s even a few hours late taking it, so oscar has him on a strict routine. he never forgets morris’s meds, as little as he cares about his own.

hey, quick question for the “nerdy” internet

how many fictional genocides and fascist regimes will it take for us to take action against genocide and fascism in real life? when will we learn our lessons from these cautionary tales, and when will we finally enact these lessons?

Kiri is unconscious. Rotxo stands vigil outside the Suli family's marui. He'll stay there as long as it takes.

As highlighted in this post, Rotxo isn't one of Kiri's bullies. Rather, it's his cousin Anukai, and as Rotxo stands vigil, he has a... strongly worded conversation with him.

Roxto is smitten for Kiri, one sided puppy love, dialogue heavy, Tuk needs a hug

batman: shadow of the bat #65

[ID: Batman maintaining a lonely vigil out in the rain as he's deep in thought. He's outside the Iceberg Lounge as the Penguin hosts a private birthday party. The narration reads, “The guest list at his casino is a who's who of Gotham crime bosses and their cohorts, mingling with the genuine socialites. But the rats have crawled from their holes only to be on their best behavior. No crime will be committed here—not least because of the TV cameras and reporters present.” Inside, two men notice through the rain-streaked window that Batman is outside brooding. They hastily shut the curtains as the narration continues, “Still, he likes them to know he's always watching.” END ID]

Hong Kong: Journalists on trial and Tiananmen massacre commemorators arrested - BBC Newsnight, July 3, 2023

It’s three years since Beijing imposed a draconian national security law on Hong Kong. The authorities said the law was needed to return stability to the former British colony after months of back to back anti-government protests. Critics say it’s being used to silence anyone who speaks out; over 60 civil groups have been forced to close or disband. The majority of the political opposition have either been detained or fled. For more than two years, the BBC’s Hong Kong correspondent has been filming those affected by the law. Danny Vincent reports.
