it rules that the only act of "antisemitism" that will be recognized and materially punished in the western world in the current day is mourning the death of Palestinian children
a literal nazi from the ww2 got a standing ovation in the canadian parliament like a week ago and now doctors are getting doxxed for saying it's wrong to kill children
and this is why when i told some teenagers they could have as much as they want and they took half the bowl i didn't get mad. teens are still kids too and some of them are more childish than others, some of them want to go have fun and get free candy too. i was a trick or treating teen! i was a poor teen that wanted free candy! i really looked forward to trick or treating every year! thankfully i had a young brother to help but my point still stands. if you're giving fucking candy away for free why does it matter if it goes to a 9 year old or a 16 year old?
While the genocide happening in Gaza, this is happening in the West Bank:
Until this week, about 250 people lived in Khirbet Zanutah in the South Hebron Hills – a community of 27 families, including about 100 minors. Not anymore.
In recent weeks, armed israeli settlers repeatedly arrived, sometimes with soldiers, beat Palestinian residents, attacked them with stones, vandalized property and threatened them serious harm if they didn’t leave.
This week, the entire community fled. Zanutah is one of 13 West Bank communities forcibly transferred since the war broke out, as part of an upsurge in state-backed settler violence.
People who think this planet was created for humans to be ours are so wild to me
70% of the planets surface is undrinkable uninhabitable death water that sharks love. How is that a human-centric design.
the earth was created for various types of crabs

Halloween is the closest to communism America gets, there's a level of communal care for children, cars are discouraged, slightly better stuff on tv, sexy vampires witches and ghouls everywhere...
approaching the 1 year anniversary of this joke post which made someone so mad that they wrote multiple essays in response all about the inherent evils of communism and communists

it is really wild that people are incapable of seeing children as being able to make autonomous informed decisions
for a while my family thought my sibling might be a trans girl, because they didn’t want their voice to become masculine with puberty. my mother reached out and spoke with a someone associated with a gender pediatric clinic, who basically guided my mother about having a discussion with my sibling. my folks sat down with my sibling and asked a series of questions that were given by the gender clinic. it turns out my sibling simply didn’t want to leave the Soprano Alto choir, because they felt uncomfortable being amongst the boy’s choir. my sibling does not feel like a boy, but doesn’t actually have body or gender dysphoria. my parents found a co-ed choir for them, and they are now an extremely accomplished tenor. my sibling now considers themself as simply “androgynous.” my folks are incredibly supportive on my sibling’s choices to dress in feminine fashion as well as their opera studies.
this idea that pediatric gender clinics are here to maliciously convince children to become trans, and force them into trans affirming surgery or hormones, is ridiculous. it is also ridiculous to claim that they are trying to force labels on gender non conforming children. they are there to provide resources for gnc children and trans children, as well as parents who might be confused by what it means to be LGBT+
kids deserve respect and human rights. talk to them. listen to them. work with them.
"Oh the media being biased/silent on Gaza is a conspiracy theory"
I am a literal journalist and this is what happened when I pitched an article to a magazine I write for:
We covered conflict before. We denounced PMs' positions as wrong before. But this is where the editor balks - anything that makes it look even vaguely like we might, possibly, support Gaza. Even if the article itself would not have been an opinion piece, but a news feature about events on the ground.
We have free press, baby! But avoid the matter entirely if you can. It's delicate and depressing, why would you talk about it? Don't rock the boat. Be quiet. You don't need to go there.
Self-censorship is alive and well.
the biggest problem with writing fantasy in english is that there's really no alternate universe phrasing that carries the exact tone and context to the reader as "jesus fucking christ"
'Revenge is bad' to YOU. i love when a character destroys everyone who wronged them. i love when they get to bite and maim and tear and rip and scratch and kill. Sorry ur catholic about it but i'm different
Me when its 1 day after Halloween and the capitalists are already blasting the christmas sale commercials
I hate it when people are like “get out of your comfort zone” literally every single thing I do in my life feels like me getting out of my comfort zone
They both liked it aaaaaah!! Feels like old times *happy crying*
