[reasonsforhope]

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

Loser Tomu to start my year off strong

[the-kinning-hour]

Yall ever think about the league members’ reactions to seeing Tomura without his father’s hand on his face for the first time? Because I’m sure he didn’t warn them any time he took it off, and im sure at least a few of them got a glimpse before he started doing it regularly.

Like, imagine Compress walking into a room at the same time Tomura took the hand off to itch his forehead or something, and Compress immediately throwing himself back out the doorway in shock and having to take a couple deep breaths in the hallway because no, they’re not being infiltrated, it’s their loser boss.

Spinner getting a glass of water in the middle of the night and screaming when some corpse-like guy with red eyes also comes in for a glass of water.

Tomura going to wake Dabi because he slept too far into the evening, the doorway comically flashing blue, then him walking back out without his hoodie and bearing soot stains on his face. He thinks Dabi is just being a prick. Dabi, on the other hand, had not felt that fearful where the fuck did I just wake up and who the fuck are you feeling in years, but of course his creepy boss was the one to make it happen, fuck the whole league.

Even Toga pausing and looking extremely disgusted at the unidentified man sitting in the bar, before her brain processes that she’s staring at her friend and she goes to tease him about the cute little beauty mark under his lip. Tomura is wildly confused and doesn’t know if he should take that whiplash reaction as a threat. He doesn’t sleep that night.

Green Scared?

Some Lessons from the FBI Crackdown on Eco-Activists, 2023

For years, the FBI targeted ecological activists as their #1 priority. This is one of the chief reasons environmental devastation has continued unchecked.

At the end of 2005, the FBI opened a new phase of its assault on earth and animal liberation movements — known as the Green Scare — with the arrests and indictments of a large number of activists. This offensive, which they dubbed Operation Backfire, was intended to obtain convictions for many of the unsolved Earth Liberation Front arsons of the preceding ten years — but more so, to have a chilling effect on all ecological direct action.

In this analysis, originally published in Rolling Thunder in 2008, we review everything we can learn from the Operation Backfire cases, with the intention of passing on the lessons for the next generation of environmental activists.
