Because has "white power" or any other actual racist, antisemitic, white supremacist slogan ever gone through what "river to the sea" just went though? Curious. Because we all know that the US government does NOT actually care about its Jewish populace. Crazy how I keep talking about the white right of comfort because it keeps applying.

not to put a finer point on it, but before i was fired from my job one of the many ways my managers were bullying me was by accusing me of antisemitism EVERY TIME i pitched an article related to Palestine (the last one i pitched before being fired was about bella hadid being fired from jobs for speaking up about Palestine. ironic). the worst of this was when i was crying in a "disciplinary" meeting about how i felt like shit while watching a genocide and their company lawyer accused me of being "manipulative" and "trojan horsing antisemitism" into the workplace. i cannot stress ENOUGH that i was purely talking about my own emotions about being Lebanese and watching Palestinians and Lebanese people be murdered and i was accused of being antisemitic. if you accuse me of being antisemitic at this point in the genocide i am gonna tell you to go fuck yourself i've had enough of the real oppression jewish people face being mentioned only as a weapon to silence me and others (including jewish ppl themselves) when we express basic sympathy to Palestinians and/or trying to advocate for Palestinian liberation. youse don't care. you are not serious people to me.

No, no, no… you've got it all wrong… you can't act death. The fact of it is nothing to do with seeing it happen - it's not gasps and blood and falling about - that isn't what makes it death. It's just a man failing to reappear, that's all - now you see him, now you don't that's the only thing that's real: here one minute and gone the next and never coming back - an exit, unobtrusive and unannounced, a disappearance gathering weight as it goes on, until, finally, it is heavy with death.

if you had told 2012 me that 12 years later i would be watching a prestige television show and be blown away i would have said 'yeah, that tracks, i do love tv'.

and then if you had told me that when i googled the show, nine episodes in, i recognised a familiar name in the cast, i would have said 'well no shit bitch, i love to google things and remember meaningless detail'.

but if you told me that the reason the name was familiar were because the guy playing blackthorne in shōgun 2024 is also the guy who made the gay pirates song that was popular on tumblr circa 2012, well. 2012 me would have bet their entire overdraft that you were lying.

can people please shut up about the love languages?? they were cooked up as a gimic to sell self published books by a homophobic evangelical priest who hated his wife and lied about being a qualified psych!!! nothing about the love languages is a legitimate analytical tool. your otp makes sense because they're written well by people who are good at their craft, not because person a likes gift giving and person b likes affirmation. your partner doesn't understand your needs because you both need to be better at communicating or you're actually not good together, not because their love language is acts of service or some shit. everyone likes being given things and told nice things and kind gestures! It comes with being a person and youse need to find a better way of expressing that because using the self-published ramblings (of a man who hated women) to catagorise people is, dare I say, a habit that will endear you to bigots more than anyone if you aren't careful.
