If we're all pretty much on board by now with "media consumption is not activism," are we ready to move on yet to the necessary corollary of "failure to consume media is not failure of activism?"

Everyday I curse vivziepops name for making alastor Creole to justify her weird vudu thing, thus giving way to the most insufferable discourse by people who arent even remotely Creole, have no education on Creole history or culture, and refuse to do any research on it besides maybe the most basic 5 second google search. And I cant do anything about because that would involve me reblogging hazbin hotel discourse which no one wants.

"What did you want to be when you were small?"

"...?"

"Well, you didn't want to be this, I'm sure of that.

No child wants to become something like us..."

"..."

"... I wanted to be a father."

"... A father?"

"Yes. They retire young... Fathers."

A little backstory insert about Specter here..

He was friends with Aurora (Skeebo's biological mother) and Zac (Pac's dad) in high school, despite being in a privileged family, he always wished to be freed from it all and have the right to be his own person.

Before the war began, he ran away from home during a wedding that his parents forced him to have with a woman he despised, and seeking comfort, he stayed with Aurora for a while when Skeebo's younger sister was born.

During the war, and he had told the rest of the Resistance this as well, he wanted to be a father, but he felt like he was unworthy of having a child and he was scared of accidentally giving said child a terrible life. Zac hearing this showed him baby Pac and said that if he wasn't comfortable having a child with another person, he was always welcome to help raise his own. Aurora also agreed to that idea.

... He was killed around the day Zac had obtained the scar on his cheek.

If it weren't for his death, many things could have been prevented.

But as of right now, the Overlords refuse to give him mercy, so, the closest to being in a family is floating in the alleyway with a broken child he was meant to help raise and nurture. A boy that doesn't view him as something dangerous, but as a friend... A real one.

Being interested in British polar explorers is such a huge learning curve in empathy and understanding human nature because we’re faced with hundreds of men that agreed with the British Empire to the point of actively helping it but we see past that. We see the people beneath the morally fucked views and we love them. And I think that is such an important skill to have because you’re always going to meet people that you don’t completely agree with, that’s just life. But if you hated everyone who you didn’t fully agree with, there’d be no one left on earth for you to love

There's something off about him but I'm not fixing it now

[arsenicflame]

since we all appear to be talking about izzy 'calling the police' on stede id like to offer my silly little two cents:

its not like the navy wasn't actively looking for him anyway??????

at most, izzys actions sped up badminton catching up with stede, but its made very clear that badminton wanted Stede dead well before this, and was willing to use whatever he could to find him- whos to say jackie wouldnt have cut a deal on her own? that any other pirate thats seen them being unsubtle in a port wouldn't take the opportunity to make a quick buck over a guy who is Nobody and holds no influence that could lead to any consequences for them?

in reality izzy is probably the only person who would receive negative repercussions to selling out stede, given his personal connection with ed- any other pirate would probably have gotten away unscathed, anonymous. they likely wouldnt have even been present like izzy was. izzy had personal stakes, anyone else would have taken the money and ran

the way i see it, with or without izzy the events of episode 10 probably would have happened in some degree, izzy just expedited the timeline

There is a smut author who has my exact first and last name. I have a degree in creative writing. Therefore, when you search "*my name* writer" you get bombarded with results about smutty books.

Is... Is this why I can't find work? Do I need to put "not that *my name* on the top of my CV?!?"

[uighean]

see like i've never been a super conscious user of australian slang & my accent is fairly mild so back home i'm like. often never the most aussie-sounding person in the room? but being overseas has just been a long string of wondering why other people don't understand what i'm saying 😭😭😭😭

[thedreadvampy]

Yes people are fucking dying and no I don't ever feel like. Great about people being killed in missile strikes.

But I also don't feel great about decades of civilians, including over 2,100 children in the last 20 years, being killed both by missile strikes and by being shot or beaten to death in the street.

250 people were killed in the Hamas rocket attacks on Saturday, which is around the same as the number of Palestinian people the Israeli security forces had murdered this year before Saturday, and significantly less than they've killed since Saturday.

look the people are not the state and despite Israel being an apartheid colony, being an Israeli citizen doesn't necessarily imply 100% agreement. It's been 70 years and 3 generations since Israel was established as a state and the majority of Israeli civilians now didn't choose to come, they're living in the country they were born (although the same is not so much true for people living in Gaza who have recently occupied the stolen homes of Palestinians). Israelis are human people with lives and hopes and passions and deaths of any person are tragic.

BUT.

Palestinians are human people with lives and hopes and passions and their lives matter just as much and are snuffed out without the international community batting an eye - I remind you again. 212 Palestinians including 38 children were murdered this year before this weekend's missile strikes and if you didn't give a shit until Hamas killed the same number of Israelis at which point everyone went OH MY GOD THE HUMANITY HOW COULD PALESTINIANS DO THIS (while Israel killed 300+ more Palestinians in under 24 hours) that's bc uhhhh you're fucking racist and don't think Palestinian lives are as important as Israeli ones

so like. sure we can acknowledge that 250 Israeli civilians' deaths are a tragedy, if we can also agree that the 300+ Palestinian civilians killed in retaliatory strikes are a tragedy and most importantly if we can agree that the 200+ Palestinians killed in 2023 before the Hamas strikes this weekend are not just a tragedy but a deliberate atrocity.

in January the Israeli government made it vocally clear before the UN than not only do they consider the occupation of Palestine permanent, they are explicitly focused on taking over as much Palestinian land as possible in perpetuity. Since then this whole year there have been a total of only FOUR (nonconsecutive) FULL WEEKS in which NO Palestines were killed by Israel (compared to only 8 weeks in which Israelis WERE killed, of which 2 incidents were friendly fire from another IDF member)

It's legitimately tragic when people are killed. And Israel has been systematically killing Palestinians to the degree there are Palestinian casualties recorded about 3 days in every 5 this year, usually multiple, with displacements, demolitions, injuries, arrests and beatings recorded almost every single day. I do not know how LITERALLY anyone can look at the numbers from this year, let alone the last 75, and conclude that Israel is the victim of unprovoked violence.
