If your activism for Palestine claims that Jewish people control the media, you're antisemitic.
If your activism for Palestine claims that Jewish people deserve to be killed, mass-evicted or sorted into "good" and "bad" Jewish people, you're antisemitic.
If your activism for Palestine claims that all Jewish people are Zionists, you're generalising and antisemitic.
If your activism for Palestine is antisemitic, you are actively harming Jewish and Palestinian populations worldwide with your rhetoric. You don't really support Palestine, you just hate Jewish people - and if that is what your activism is, it's not true activism and we don't need you in this movement.
If you're not a safe space for all, I'm not the blog to follow.

straight white people making a romance movie: haha what if it was illegal to have sex? wait what's lawrence v texas. wait what's mclaughlin v florida. wait what's loving v virginia
As preposterous and stupid as this fucking movie's premise sounded (for a light-hearted rom-com, and not The Handmaid's Tale) I didn't want to think about it too much until the movie actually came out, and then I could see if it was somehow more intelligent and subversive than the trailer let on, but guess what, it's even worse!
If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die.
Sex workers are thrown under the bus, shown only as thieves who fleece men in the woods at night, while queer sexuality is relegated to a few scenes with Allie’s roommate (a woefully underused Quintessa Swindell) and a handful of pans past blurry same-sex extras making out in the background. “This night is for the straights,” Swindell’s character says to Allie, before saying that queer people have worked around straight laws for centuries.
This is supposed to be a nod to queer resilience, but largely comes off as straightwashing the history of anti-LGBTQ legislation in this country that led towards raids of queer clubs and incarceration of queer people in the not-too-distant past (let alone the current barrage of anti-Trans and LGBTQ legislation currently in the works and on the books). It’s also ignorant of the long and fraught fight for the normalization of age-of-consent laws, which, by the way, did not happen in all states in this very country until 2003. Yes, that’s not even thirty years ago.
By the end, our intrepid protagonists have not had sex with anyone, because this is a film about Romance with a Capital R (and I guess sex is not part of romance!) and for that very same reason they ultimately embrace the fascist state of things. They aren’t the only ones who refuse to fight back. No one in this cursed film is protesting this mandate beyond “repeal” signs in various windows and some creative graffiti (...)
(...) If we are supposed to believe that the film is making some subversive statement about the state of sex and bodily autonomy in this country, it cannot end with its leads embracing their chains. That’s just warmed-over conservatism running around in sheep’s clothing.
yeah i wrote this post having only seen the trailer, but jesus christ. was this movie a psyop LMAO??
also, for the unaware: mclaughlin v. florida was a 1964 supreme court case that struck down a florida anti-miscegenation law that criminalized cohabitation (and thus, as implied, sex) between white people and people of color of opposite genders. anti-miscegenation laws made marriage and sexual relationships between white people and people of color, most often specifically black people, a FELONY in several states in the united states up until the 1950s and 1960s. though it was already struck down by the supreme court, the state of alabama didn't repeal their law until 2000! there were THREE ATTEMPTS at codifying anti-miscegenation into the us constitution!
like yes, the issue here is partially straight white people's ignorance on the united states's history of homophobic policy, but it's also really important to recognize that arguably the majority of the issue here is straight white people's ignorance of the united states's history of codifying eugenics and antiblack racism.
the premise could have been interesting as a serious dystopian story, especially taking that history into account, but it wasn't written that way at all. this movie should never have been a fucking romcom making light of the violence the united states (and many other countries) has enacted on any kinds of sexual relationships it deems undesirable.
So the UK will reroute a fucking Internet cable for a fake grave for a fake elf because a bunch of brain dead nerds through a pissy fit, and meanwhile real actual natives in the US are getting arrested for trying to keep oil sand pipelines from going through their actual graves, holy sites and unceded territory. Burn it all down.
It gets worse. The area is one of the few freshwater shores of the UK and is a very delicate ecosystem. The "grave" has people bringing painted rocks and fast fashion socks to place by the "memorial" spreading toxic and harmful materials from outside the ecosystem into it, destabilising and harming the environment of the beach....
AND the pipe went near a bronze age grave instead...
All this cos a scene was filmed there.
So destroying the environment, disturbing ancient human remains of archeological significance AND murdering Trans people all in one fell swoop.
But yes, if someone were to, hypothetically, go and destroy the grave, they should be careful not to disrupt the beach as it is a protected location (like a national park in the USA to yankify this)

A papercraft memorial portrait of Cinder, a wonderfully sweet cat. Her most beloved pose was loafing with her legs tucked up underneath her, so that was the requested pose for the piece. I hope I did her cuteness justice!
'lazy people don't feel guilty about not doing anything' is insane to me and I have been trying to make my brain believe it for a long time, it shocked me to my core when I first heard it
The museum at my undergrad hosted a photography exhibit by Leonard Nimoy around 2002 or 2003 featuring photographs from his Shekhina series (which is the series the above pic comes from). It's a gorgeous and powerful series.
He was a very talented photographer. If you're curious about his photography, check out this page over at R. Michelson Galleries:

Why Has the Red Cross been Crossed Out?
It has come to my attention that the Red Cross failed to report the full scope of the atrocities during the Holocaust. In more recent years, it has also been accused of misappropriating funds.
As such, I cannot recommend donating to the Red Cross in good conscience. It clearly cannot be trusted to function in an equitable and unbiased fashion, nor to help the people in need they're pledged to serve.
I have crossed it out rather than removing it for the following reasons to raise awareness of this history of corruption. I feel that awareness is particularly important right now, given the Red Cross's involvement in the Gaza ceasefire deal and hostage exchange; ideally, having the eyes of the world on them and knowing what to look for can mitigate corruption.

Even for apps where they don’t have a publicly stated minimum, their algorithms will bury you.
4 stars does not mean 4 stars. It means 1.4 stars.
If you give a person a 4 star rating, to these companies, you are not saying “I was mostly satisfied with the service, but there’s always room for improvement”—which is what 4 stars should mean—you are voting for them to be fired.
Genuinely, do not ever give people 4 star ratings on gig service apps for any reason that is not a safety issue where their continuation on the app could seriously hurt people.
If someone gives you “just OK” service where you don’t want to give them 5 stars, but you don’t actively hate their existence and hope they die, just don’t rate them.
