So I’ve been slowly learning more about makeup techniques over the last couple years and some things have been hit or miss but this feels like the FIRST video that spoke to me and actually taught me shit I haven’t picked up elsewhere. The face contouring (including hitting the forehead to make it look smaller) spoke to me and THE TIP ABOUT THE FUCKING CHAPSTICK EYESHADOW instead of traditional lipstick is a GAME CHANGER OMG
Technically by reblogging it you can now request and download a copy of your archive which will include any videos you’ve reblogged as .mp4 video files
But honestly I just downloaded this real easily from her TikTok :3

Jewish baby named Edgardo Mortara is seemingly about to die in Bologna, 1851
Catholic nanny secretly baptises him to save his soul, which she’s not exactly the kind of authority who can do that, but w/e, it’s interpreted by the church as valid later
Kid survives
1857 her secret gets out, a baptising makes a kid a Catholic according to the Church and a Catholic can’t be raised in a non-Catholic household in the Papal States, so the church authorises the police to kidnap Edgardo from his family
Raised personally by Pope Pius IX, Jewish family not allowed to take him back due to Church doctrine, this action destroys the family with grief and despair
This case gets international infamy with the Pope not understanding why everyone’s shiting on him for doing this, including allies
Emperor Napoleon III shifts from opposing Italian unification to supporting it as a direct consequence
Bologna falls the next year, 1859
Kingdom of Italy forms 1861
By 1870 Rome is lost to the Italians and the Papal States are no more
(Edgardo Mortara goes on to become Father Mortara)
(He dies in Belgium in 1940 three months before the Nazis occupied the nation, which if he’d have lived he would’ve been persecuted as a Jew)
Fun fact: the Catholic Church did not stop doing this after Edgaro Mortara. During WW2, many Jewish children were put in convents or catholic-run orphanages for their own safety. Sounds nice right? Except after the war ended, when parents or surviving relative went back to claim their children, the church went, “uhhh, actually they’re catholic now, no take backs!”
The most infamous of these cases was the Finaly affair. Two Jewish children in France, Robert and Gerald Finaly, were placed in a Catholic nursery in 1944 in anticipation of their parents being deported to Auschwitz, where they were both murdered. Their aunt, Marguerite Fischel, survived the war and went to find the boys so she could take them to live with her. However, the nun who had custody of the boys, Antoinette Brun, adamantly refused to give them up, reportedly saying that “The Jews are not grateful”
What followed was a years long custody battle where despite being repeatedly ordered by courts all over Europe to return the boys, Brun took them to many different countries and hid them, with the support and help of other nuns and priests. It was suspected at the time, and later confirmed by documents released in 2020, that Pope Pius XII had supported the effort to keep the boys away from their surviving family and have them be raised Catholic.
Thankfully, after negotiations between a sympathetic cardinal in France and the chief Rabbi of Paris, the boys were finally recovered and reunited with their aunt.
Documents reveal the private discussions behind both Pope Pius XII’s silence about the Nazi deportation of Rome’s Jews in 1943 and the Vatic
I wish I could say that the phenomenon of the Catholic Church kidnapping children and keeping them away from their families for the purposes of forcefully raising them Catholic is unique to Jews, but it’s not. From the mid nineteenth century to the mid twentieth century, the Church ran hundreds of residential schools in the US and Canada where indigenous children were kidnapped from their homes and forced into these cruel and inhumane “schools”. The children were forbidden from speaking their own languages or practicing their own cultures and religions, their hair was cut, and they were subject to emotional, verbal, spiritual, physical, and sexual abuse. Many of the children died due to malnutrition or medical neglect, their bodies buried like dogs beside the schools. The Catholic Church was not the only Church to participate in this, but they’ve been the most reluctant to fully acknowledge and apologize for it. It was only in 2022 that Pope Francis apologized on behalf of the Catholic Church for their part, but some people found the apology inadequate.
Idk what my point is here, just that there’s such a clean link between evangelizing, cultural/religious imperialism, and how damaging and horrifying a religion can be when it is thoroughly convinced of its own superiority. And that unless an institution is forced to change, it probably won’t change on its own.
Fun how the bystander effect was coined to cover up how cops are bigoted cowards who let a queer person die and Stockholm syndrome was also coined to cover that the cops handled a hostage situation so badly the hostages trusted their captors more than the cops.

The mayor who condemned Cuba, Venezuela and the Palestinian resistance, and protected the shuls that were selling Palestinian land is not gonna arrest Netanyahu even if it was within his power.
It really feels like a lot of the confusion and discourse around transmisogyny hinges on the fact that transmisogyny-exempt people tend to think passing works like:
Trans feminine, doesn't pass ==> treated as a man.
Trans feminine, does pass ==> treated as a woman.
When in reality it actually works more like :
Trans feminine, doesn't pass ==> treated like a degenerate sexual predator who preys on girls.
Trans feminine, does pass ==> treated like a degenerate sexual predator who preys on men.
Which is crucially is not a dichotomy which exists in the same way for other trans people.
i wish people who still engage with harry potter would just say with their full chest that they don’t care about trans people. like just say it. you know it’s true. i know it’s true. everyone does. but no we have to do a song and dance every time someone is like “check it out i got the heckin new copies !!!” and everyone goes “that’s messed up do you not care about trans people? here are some resources detailing why this is not just another ‘no ethical consumption under capitalism’ moment” and the HP fan goes “well i’ll have you know i have a gay neighbor and i don’t think any different of him and wouldn’t even if he wanted to be a girl” or whatever and act like their vaguely “supportive” opinions *which are not being enacted in any meaningful way* overrides their actions and direct support of joanne kathleen rowling. and the comments will be like 9/10 trans people going “this is harmful and just so you know this signals to trans people that you’re not safe to be around!!” and 1/10 times it’s other HP fans going “there’s nothing wrong with reading harry potter !! ugh these comments are crazy !!! you do you boo” and the op replies to those like “finally someone with some freaking sense around here!!”
and really i think we could all save some time and energy if these people just said it outright. “hey i just purchased the new editions. and before you ask, no i don’t care that my money is funding your extermination. this, you see, is the only thing i know how to read. there were movies.”
Or we can actually listen to Palestinians rather than the people who actually benefit from the genocide regardless of if they did the bare minimum of draft dodging or condemning the genocide.

Today is the 26th of July, 2024, exactly 71 years since the failed assault on the Moncada barracks in Santiago de Cuba. This failure would later be commemorated by Fidel Castro and his vanguard revolutionary movement as their very name, the name with which they won independence for Cuba from its dictator, Fulgencio Batista, and it's imperial overlord, the United States.
Cuba is still not free, however; crippling US sanctions have hindered its development, stressed their society, and needlessly taken lives. This embargo, now in its 65th year, must end. If you live in the United States, you bear a special responsibility to use every means of pressure, collectively, to pressure your government and your ruling class to end this embargo and finally free Cuba.
Girlfriend: "when we have sex tonight can you be normal and not talk like the English dub of a Nintendo Direct"
Me: "of course baby"
Me two hours later: "We hope you're looking forward to scissoring, fingering, and licking your way to an orgasm as soon as this presentation ends. But for now, that's all the time we have"
(snaps out of it) OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING!! HOLY JESUS CHRIST FUCK WHY DID NOBODY TRY TO STOP ME (eases back into it) ahhhh. yeah this feels right
