Synapses Firing

From Palestinian poet Najwan Darwish

i hope this is alright for me to add, but this poem references a line from one of hitler's speeches ordering the genocide of polish jews. at the end of the speech, he justified the genocide by saying "who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the armenians?" in a very literal way, genocides are interconnected and used to justify one another. after all, the holocaust was partially modeled after the united states' genocide of indigenous people. this is why it is so important to remember the victims of all genocides across history, and why it is so important for oppressed peoples to stand together in solidarity.

“but what if i’m being annoying :(“ everyone’s annoying dipshit it came free with fucking being alive and existing. now go talk to your friends

(For those unfamiliar with the trope, "girl in a box" is a conspicuously recurring motif in contemporary fantasy and sci-fi media whereby a mysterious character – typically young, typically female – is found in, and subsequently released from, a container of some kind by a third party; discovering who this character is and why she was in the box then forms the impetus of the plot. That this character has amnesia and possesses a terrible hidden power are customary but not obligatory.)

lets mosey!!!

friend was lamenting the lack of girls in the shonen she was watching so I had some advice for her

Every rewatch of DS9, I hate Winn more than the last time.

Louise Fletcher was sooooo fucking good.

Winn is possibly one of my most hated characters ever, and Louise Fletcher played her fucking PERFECTLY. She didn't even have to say anything. Just her obsequious smile at Kira was enough to loathe her. Amazing writing and INCREDIBLE casting. Just her face makes me angry. Especially when I know she's about to say 'My Child.'

eXCUSE ME???????????????????????

I love semantic drift

wheezing okay just so everyone knows. I too love semantic drift but that’s not what’s happening here. This is in fact a deliberate joke about semantic drift. this is not a scene from a 1940s film noir this is a scene from the 1995 sitcom The Nanny. This is on purpose!!

Capulets vs Montagues

Two houses, utterly devoid of dignity

No because the way I get so VISCERALLY angry when someone refers to an animal as albino when they’re actually leucistic, erythristic, or xanthochromatic is both deeply irrational and greatly unhealthy

ALBINISM

Total loss of pigmentation in the body, i.e. skin, hair/fur/feathers, and eyes (the eyes look pink/red because the lack of pigment in the eye exposes the blood vessels within it to light, which then reflects their red hue)

LEUCISM

Partial loss of pigmentation in the body; the pattern of pigment distribution is unique in each case, so some people or animals with this condition may have patches of typically-colored skin/hair/fur in addition to pigmented eyes, while others may only have the aforementioned ocular pigmentation

ERYTHRISM

Abnormal prevalence of reddish pigment in the skin/hair/fur/feathers of an animal; concentration of this pigment varies case by case, so humans/animals with the condition can present anywhere from only slightly pink to intensely red in color; to my knowledge, the condition does not affect the eyes

XANTHOCHROMISM

Abnormal prevalence of yellow pigment in the skin/hair/fur/feathers of an animal; similar to erythrism, color intensity can vary from light golden hues to deep yellows; again, to my knowledge, the condition does not affect the eyes
