'filled with people who believe it is more important to do nothing wrong than it is to do something right' is going to live in my head for a while now huh

This post is so fucking old–the old anon icon? Non-rebloggable asks? The gray bar at the bottom? Truly a relic

people are still reblogging it. incredible. love u all

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "this is a valuable exploration of intimacy and vulnerability that we’re conditioned to recognize only in romantic relationships but that can exist platonically as well" way

do people even know the extent of sanctions on the iranian people? my mom's family can't afford fruit anymore. it's a state of psychological warfare; literally nobody living there has any sort of hope for the future. added sanctions from the EU are going to destroy the lives of 87 million innocent people

as my cousin put it: "there is no point to saving up out of uncertainty that it will be worth anything in a month. what investments can you make in the future when you can't even be sure how much food will cost tomorrow? this isn't living." there are, of course, absolute shortages as well—my late grandmother experienced a period of deterioration because the medicine she needed was just not available. many such cases.

If your response to “Calling me ‘dude’ is misgendering me” is “I use ‘dude’ as a gender-neutral term,” do not pass go, do not collect $200, go straight to jail, you have missed the brief.

It’s not about whether you think the term is fine, it’s whether or not the person you’re addressing feels the same. Have some fucking empathy.

no words.

the fact that people have decided that fandom is an inviolable safe space where anyone trying to point attention away is automatically in the wrong (see this) or to be ignored completely (see the ao3 drives time after a time). genuinely boggles the mind

What's absolutely insane to me is that Ahmed never commented once or involved himself in a single discussion around fandom, yet he was dragged into this mess. I think this person has to be lying about their motivations, otherwise they wouldn't have dragged a literal ongoing genocide survivor into this terminally online attempt at harassment. I think their motivations are a lot more malicious than they're letting on. Even a pure fandom entitled white brat would know that he has not approached a single fandom and shouldn't be bothered at all. Let alone treated in this way.

And for everyone on tumblr: have some fucking shame. Some shame is actually good for you.

*fandom blogger voice* you don’t have to boycott if it’s your comfort food. You don’t have to mildly inconvenience yourself in a show of solidarity. I spend all day condescending to people who think my fav show is lame so obviously I’m more qualified than those entitled Palestinians who told me to stop watching my comfort show all because the lead actor posted on their instagram ‘death to all Palestinians’ or in other words, just because they are Jewish.

Using dissociate instead of zoning out. Describing a hobby as a hyperfixation. Saying nonverbal when you want a bit of quiet. Saying intrusive thoughts because that must mean an urge like to buy coffee or hair dye. Do you know feeling off sometimes is a sign of autism? Lying is gaslighting. Everyone I dislike is a narcissist.

what an artful form of apartheid apologia. people are lapping this shit up in the notes. Even if we set aside the titanic amount of weaponry and equipment created and built by engineers and chemists, all the mapping software that guides missiles and drones and planes created by computer scientists and geographers for a second (science that the state is very much interested in!), zionist apartheid policy, administrative policies, planning and logistics, urban planning documents, you name it - that all apparently just popped into existence one day. for someone claiming to be concerned about social science academics you sure are dismissing all of their hard work! but if you just frame every academic in Israel as a poor little individual victim being randomly attacked for no reason then it’s easy to hide what’s actually going on, which is academics as a group experiencing the harsh end of a boycott. they are being targeted specifically because they are an intellectual class of a colonial state whose genocide is being live-streamed to the world, but if you obfuscate the academy’s role in training, educating, and providing intellectual architecture for the bureaucratic class and institutions that make up state governments, then you can frame a principled pro-Palestinian position (boycotting Israel) as misguided, stupid, overzealous, ineffectual, and most importantly, detrimental to the cause of freeing Palestine, all of which is of course so obvious to everyone but Palestinian activists. this is naked concern-trolling for the zionist project of annihilating Palestine and it is no less disgusting than any other zionist cheering on the mass murder of children

if you're even a little bit familiar with the circle of liberal tumblr zionist, this type of ''pro-palestine'' concern trolling is so easy to see through. anyway...
