I love that Europeans pretend they're not part of "the imperial core" like girl you are literally the original core countries of the empire!!!

bestiepops if I do not specify what part of Europe I am referring to it is safe to assume I do in fact mean Europe In Totality and not just "Western Europe." Central, Southern, Eastern, and Northern European countries are in fact all part of the group known as "European" to the rest of the world. Yes, all of the countries. Yes, even that one.

the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this

“I had a room to myself as a kid, but my mother was always quick to point out that it wasn’t my room, it was her room and I was merely permitted to occupy it. Her point, of course, was that my parents had earned everything and I was merely borrowing the space, and while this is technically true I cannot help but marvel at the singular damage of this dark idea: That my existence as a child was a kind of debt and nothing, no matter how small, was mine. That no space was truly private; anything of mine could be forfeited at someone else’s whim.”  ― Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat

These are the conditions that my friend Mahrah (@palestinian95) and her family are living under in Gaza. The constant stress of this genocide is debilitating, and the forced scarcity imposed by the occupation causes an impossibly high cost of living just to afford food, clean water, and medicine. Please donate to her campaign as soon as you can.

I personally ask you to help Mahrah. This fundraiser is vetted by @90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan. Mahrah (@freepaleatine955) cares for her elderly parents and their sole source of survival funds is what is donated to her campaign. This is a lifeline for her family. My wife @cannilyuncanny hosts Mahrah's family's fundraiser and sends wire transfers directly to her.

our age of Hi is collapsing

I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other

Our age of plastics is collapsing

The anti-vax and anti-science propaganda is very real - and also, frankly I think doctors and nurses would've had an easier time getting people not to fall for it if they spent less time treating people like fucking shit

This post is about a lot of things but it is especially about racism, medical abuse, and eugenics

Why all this happening to me? Oh My God, I'm so fed up with my life...

They explained that I fell into a coma after my fall because I suffer from severe anemia and couldn't buy my monthly medication. They told me they don't have my medication because the 0ccupying f0rces b0mbed all the medical supply warehouses and depots. They said my medication is available in pharmacies at a very high price, and that I must buy it immediately. I am speechless; I can't afford this medication, and I don't know what to do. Please, h@lp me and stand by me before I lose consciousness again.

I beg you, I was injured when our house was bombed. I have shrapnel embedded in my body, and I'm suffering from severe anemia. I keep seeing myself dying in the mirror. My health has failed me, and everyone has abandoned me. I can't afford the medication I need, and I don't want to die, so please, I implore you. D0nate now and hellp save my life before it's too late. D0nate now via G0FaundMe pleasse.

Thank you so much to everyone who has asked about me. I had a fainting spell and lost consciousness today. I am now in the h0spital and my condition is very serious. I can barely write this message to tell you that I desperateIy nee'd your heIp. PIease heIp me pay for my hospital stay and buy' my medication as soon as possible. PIease d0nate and stand by me. .

listen yall i understand the article i linked talks about azhegiiwewining as language education (which it is). but it's also art. youre allowed to engage with it as an art piece, you know. not every piece of indigenous culture you see has to be treated like youve been assigned a piece of homewoke. you can just treat it like art.
