I am literally begging yall to STOP excluding Armenia when you talk abt the Eurovision boycott; we are boycotting to support Palestine AND Armenia. not Palestine OR Armenia. please give as much attention to Armenia as anywhere else, please do not stop talking abt Armenia, posting abt Armenia, and boycotting Azerbaijan as much as you do w Palestine and boycotting Israel!

please remember it's BOTH, not one or the other!

First of all, boycott eurovision. However, I AM loving all the various stories of pro-palestinian rebellion that are coming out surrounding eurovision.

Apparently security surrounding the event is through the roof, and the Eurovision team literally frisk searched all the contestants to make sure they didn't smuggle any palestinian scarves or flags in, but despite this:

It's great, I love it. They can try all they like to block every mention of Palestine, but they haven't been succeeding and they'll continue to fail.

Fuck Israel, fuck Eurovision, and Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

Israel doing well in Eurovision is a completely predictable result of the boycott. The people who are watching & voting in Eurovision are now at best willfully ignorant and apathetic and at worst actively pro-Israel, meaning there will be a disproportionate amount of people willing to vote for Israel and even people voting for them because of the boycott.

But saying that means that boycotting Eurovision was the wrong call completely misses the point of the boycott. The point is not "Israel should not win Eurovision", it is "Israel should not be allowed to compete in the first place". The point of the boycott is not to give the EBU views or money, so if you've been boycotting... don't give them money or legitimacy by voting for someone tomorrow to prevent Israel from winning. If Israel does win, that does not mean boycotting failed; it only further delegitimizes the competition and confirms we should burn the whole thing down.

minor 2.2 spoilers!

Ratio’s whole on screen role in the 2.2 story being to make the audience go “SOMETHINGS UP” because he’s smiling and working with the Genius Society and doing some very not Ratio things is the funniest shit ever.

Like I haven’t done the entire quest yet (I was watching my friend play) but like if you wanna know my honest reaction to this scene it’s this (ignore Haseeb yapping 😭)

Also how did bro figure out dormancy? RATIO WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING OFF SCREEN

At least this beautiful shot of him exists, hopefully I can finish the quest tonight 😭, bc trust me I HAVE THOUGHTS

We need to bring back children’s programming that focuses on reading. I’m so serious

WE NEED THEM BACK ‼️‼️‼️

fun fact there's a political reason for less learning shows--the push for advertising in children's entertainment and deregulation surrounding it

LeVar Burton has specifically called out No Child Left Behind as what killed Reading Rainbow. The priorities of NCLB made it next to impossible to get grants for reading related that didn't focus on phonics, and RR is entirely about teaching kids to love reading, not the mechanics of it. I think Between the Lions struck a nice compromise between the two but it didn't last that long.

Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).

Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).

Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% / 8.1% of the time respectively while being included  78.9% / 81.2% of the time (x)

Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.

Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations

yeah that’s super important.

This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.

Be kind. 💜

“friend of Dorothy” was used to say you were gay discreetly for fucking years. Where did it come from?

“You have some queer friends, Dorothy”, and she replies, “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends.”

Like, it was popular enough for it to be a thing in ww2.

Hey man you okay?

NO. In Foxhole Court when Neil finished his first session with Betsy he goes out and talks to Aaron, he tells him he just spoke to Betsy about exy facts and Aaron tells him he just sat there in silence. AND NEILS REACTION IS "damn...I wish I thought of that. Thats good"

Please why isn't anyone talking about this.
