To the people who are standing against us while we grieve the loss of six beautiful people, you are the problem.

And we will always remember.

Even with a war going on, Israel is still the safest place for Jews. Funny how having a Jewish state protects Jewish people, no?

I know it’s only been a day, but so far the US is showing the world that a terrorist organisation can kidnap an American citizen, hold them hostage for a year, execute them, and face no consequences.

Either that, or they’re showing that to be the case for Jewish American citizens specifically. They are showing American Jews like me that in the end, our American citizenship means nothing, that we are just expendable Jews. I always learned that cautionary tale as a history lesson, but it feels too real now.

There is no difference between me and Hersh Goldberg-Polin. I know now that if I’m ever in his place, my country would leave me to rot.

i also think the reason courtney’s arc always gravitates around teams and family and community themes is because stargirl is by nature a social creature; stargirl is created out of courtney’s yearning for community and understanding—something she feels she left in california, something she feels she (courtney whitmore) can’t have anymore, but an alternate version of her (stargirl) might be allowed to. and it’s kind of sad actually because if they’re not shoe-horning her into some romantic relationship, her emotional development over any given arc always follows this pattern where courtney (as courtney) feels like she can’t rely on anybody and everybody relies on her (as stargirl) and always ends with her learning to rely on someone but this narrative cycle also never ends. it repeats forever and ever. this is the only emotional plot they write for her (outside of giving her a love interest, which i could argue is just the same thing in a different font but w/e)

i don’t know when this post got so negatively charged actually i apologize i think it’s fascinating how stargirl is inherently a social creature because she was born of courtney’s need for community but i am also tired of seeing her go through the same emotional developments run after run because there are so many interesting narratives and developments that could be done with her and it feels like every issue and run just goes through the same motions. which yes. that is in fact just what comics are like i suppose. still i’d like to see something new and interesting with her. i think it’s possible that because of her genesis and the inspiration for her as a character there’s a sort of fear to take any risks with her, resulting in this endless loop of same-shoe-different-foot stories

moreover on the relationships arc point i do think it’s interesting how her love interests always fall for stargirl first, and it reinforces this ‘stargirl gets what courtney can’t have’ theme; mainly interesting because courtney sees herself as so enmeshed with stargirl that it’s rarely introspected on in any meaningful capacity and yet it’s so blatantly prevalent throughout her narrative. not to tie it all together in a neat little bow but it’s also because she’s rarely given room to be introspective; between the fear of tarnishing the memory of a real life woman and the inherently socially hungry creature that is stargirl, her arcs and narratives are almost bound to fall into the trap of being more about stargirl’s companions and the people she rescues rather than focusing on developing or even embellishing her as a character in her own right at all

this is horrifying. making fake rape claims makes it that much harder for victims to report, to be believed.

the audacity of al-jazeera never fails to surprise me, but gosh do i hate the world sometimes.

"This lie about the rape should become a reference point as to the credibility of the Palestinians and the Al Jazeera network.

This is certainly not the first case in the war in which they were caught in a shocking lie (for example, the attack on Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza at the beginning of the war with invented "hundreds of dead").

These cases must be enshrined in the world consciousness and resurfaced every time there is a Palestinian claim against Israel." Abu Ali

collei! how does one celebrate a birthday? I need to know! ive never done it before-and mines soon!

-Estella/@murderousaudhdcat

Your birthday......I suppose it depends on what YOU want to do! It's your special day!

I'd say the best way to spend a birthday is to do fun things with your family and friends!

Waking up to see the news that Hersh and five others were murdered. They were alive just days ago. They survived for this long, only for lives to be cut short by the bullets of Hamas.

They were in Rafah. Where everyone said not to go, that's where they were. To everyone who said don't go into Rafah, their blood is on your hands.

stargirl is great because the morality of whether or not killing is okay depends solely on how cool it is. artemis can kill icicle because he killed her parents, which is not cool, and because she set him on fire with petroleum jelly, which is SUPER cool and both of these things mean we should root for her. mike killing icicle is also cool, because it was funny, and because he was making passes at mike’s mom, which is super not cool. killing the gambler wasn’t cool because he just learned what morals are & that he has a daughter. but also killing on the whole is morally wrong because that’s what villains do and we’re not villains, which means murder is something you have to stumble into via circumstance
