I was reading a really long essay recently about the sheer incomprehensible scale of violence that happened during World War II, and among other things, it reminded me that this isn’t the worst time to be alive for the general human population. I can very much picture people during WWII thinking it was the end of days, and for millions of people, it was. Up to 60-75 million people died during WWII, and that doesn’t count those who survived injuries, starvation, occupation, bombings, etc. Millions upon millions of people killed or mentally fucked up for the rest of their lives, and this was after the first World War! Imagine the psychological toll of going through two world wars. None of us really can, nor can we comprehend that body count. WWII was so bad that, just in terms of numbers regarding the death count, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a drop in the bucket. Even the Holocaust didn't make up the majority of the death count, despite killing an insanely high amount of people at an insanely fast pace. It's hard to quantify the worst events in human history, but WWII has to be up there.
Obviously, a shit ton of scholarship has been written on the long-term effects of WWII both on individual societies and the world as a whole, so it's not like the war ended and then everything was fine and dandy, but the fact that human society continued to exist after that at all, and even thrive in some cases, is insane. It's just something to keep in mind as you're inundated with a constant stream of "nothing will ever get better" posts from people clinical depression posting on main. Things were so, so, so much worse not even 100 years ago.
The thing that I keep coming back to as regards WWI and WWII is that not only are they mostly (Flawed) democracies going head to head with (Worse) and aggressive authoritarian forces and winning, you can see authoritarians cynically boosting more authoritarianism to prolong the war with drastic down-the road effects. And EVEN THEN the less bad guys won because it turns out liberal democracies are pretty damn good at training, supply chains, and industrial production vs having "the Warrior spirit" and getting really into autarky and warlord style looting in the 19fucking 40s. (Germany allowing Lenin back into Russia in the hopes he'd take it out of the war. THAT SURE WORKED WELL) It's that in a lot of ways they're a single conflict separated by a generation to enable another tranche of draftees and soldiers to be born. This isn't to say there weren't other causes or that WWII was ABSOLUTELY inevitable... but World War I didn't 'end' in 1919. A bunch of shit wasn't solved.
If the US Civil War and Franco Prussian war are 'previews' of industrial war... the end of WWI looks a LOT like what the early part of WWII looked like. Tactical and strategic air power, tanks, mechanized forces, aerial resupply, coordinated mixed-arms offensives... And the kind of populism and bigotry that drove WWII fascism and imperialism was birthed before WWI and during WWI as well. (the political technology is worth paying attention to as well)
The Great War channel is reasonable pop history that goes in depth, and the creators did another entire channel discussing the wars between the wars. (all kinds of shit around the world that just kept on going) It's worth a watch and has some great cultural and political content. It's not just "MUH DAD WAR STUFF"
The Great War covers the era of the First World War from its causes and origins to its violent aftermath. Jesse Alexander covers the importa
number one thing i want for public bathrooms is for them to be unisex accessible safe private and clean. number two thing i want for pubic bathrooms is for them to have flat surfaces in the stalls you can put your handheld items down on when youre shittin. ive encountered it in like two bathrooms ever and it changed my life for real.
sometimes an american will be talking to you and they start throwing around numbers like 70 or 90 when talking about the weather and you just have to smile and nod
happy pride month for it/its users, polyamorous people, xenogenders, non-transitioning trans people, and other "weird" identities. btw

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.
(this post is about putting all your time, energy, and care into one relationship, about staking all your happiness on a romantic relationship, effectively making the entirety of your joy and stability dependent on one person who could exit your life for any number of reasons no matter how great the relationship seems. it’s about the societal expectation to build your entire social life around one long term relationship, putting all your eggs in that basket, so to speak, instead of tending to larger social network and maintaining a variety of strong connections so that even if one very important relationship comes to an end, you won’t be losing your whole social life in one fell swoop.)
Sometimes I think people’s complaints about queer genre fic boil down to them wanting litfic and not knowing there’s queer litfic. If you wish to read about sad lesbian adjunct professors having unsatisfying sex, rejoice! NPR has reviewed it for you
I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

Everybody get more anti war right now
What is even there to say? I can't keep waking up in a world where I read the news and I see schoolchildren bombed, millions of people displaced, old ladies carrying their cats and while their houses get turned into rubble, the waste of industry and human talent into bombs that shoot down other bombs.
Am I insane? what the fuck is going on?
Even the most just war of liberation is painful and regrettable, but you well know I'm not talking about that, we're watching first world countries sell weapons to feed endless war and just bombing targets like if it's a reflex act just what they do, the complete surrender of any hope of building a better world or coexisting and we're all treating this like it's just the natural state of things.
I'm sorry if I'm being dramatic but genuinely, get more anti war right now.
Warfare is not an inherent state of humanity, in any case, and it can and it will be abolished. I'm tired of people treating this like it's just the weather or nature. We know the material reasons behind war and they don't hold up and won't hold up forever.
I feel like a lot of people engaging in torture are not treating their victims as if they could have blood borne pathogens 🤔
Is what my wife said apropo of nothing as we were silently drifting off to sleep
Uh oh
Is what she said when I immediately reached for my phone and opened Tumblr instead of responding
i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.
in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.
But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.
our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.
anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.
Ok*reduces you to a simmer* go rest for a while
I wish people were as scared of getting into a car accident as they are of being true crime'd. Maybe then they wouldn't be on their phones while driving.
