If you misuse the term "purity culture" to be about your ship wars instead of about the abuse and sexualization of teen girls then imagine me doing this to you

Don’t feel sad about the last Neanderthals.

Watched a documentary about abuse and advice one guy said to give children was, "Tell them that if someone is hurting them, to tell someone - and don't just tell one person. Tell as many people as possible, and keep telling as many people as possible until the abuse stops." and i really liked that

So for those children of Gaza I live among them and see how they live so I try to do something for them even if it is small so please I am building a beautiful school and it is an initiative so I hope you donate to provide them with a better environment if we can Please donate now before it's too late

Anyway, when I was in college I was constantly going to marches and protests against canadian and saudi mining projects in the Santurbán páramo, one of the most important ecosystems in Colombia in terms of biodiversity, and the source of drinking water of 30+ municipalities in my state, including the city I live in. Ultimately these mining proposals lost their license due to environmental regulations.

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

I'll throw in the wonderful Eizin Suzuki into this ring too, a man whose work just breathes light without actually using dynamic lighting in the usual way. It's no surprise both Nagai and Suzuki are both considered prolific in art pertaining to the city pop genre because they're able to paint these kinds of scenes with a delicate touch.

I've been thinking about this a lot recently, they both came out of "socialist" movements which they broke off from primarily because they rejected marxist class struggle and substituted their own ideas of "class". for Nazis it was the national struggle, they argued that class conflict was over and that the real issue of the day was between nations. Mussolini was much the same, originally studying Marxism but threw out class struggle very early and quickly veered to the right, establishing "revolutionary" struggle on the basis of said nationalism. For terfs, they substitute sex-based struggle, even the original radical feminists like Firestone, Willis, and others, came out of socialist organizing to focus on sex-class as the primary originating oppression of all society. they argued that racism was actually a product of sexism and often drastically downplayed racism to bolster their feminism - (see Angela Davis' response to Firestone in women race and class, and Ellen Willis' retrospective in radical feminism and feminist radicalism. there's plenty of sources on the Nazi stuff out there but I don't have it on hand/by memory)
