hi i guess

Pluribus, in-text: yeah so the hive is like when forced assimilation and subjugation and cultural genocide in the name of global peace and safety, and gay conversion therapy, and pacification through forced addiction, and punishment via solitary confinement to coerce cooperation, and how blackboxed and forced from above simulacra is built on and sustained by stolen labor and leads to dehumanization, and the cult logics of impossibility of refusal and escape, and the lack of respect for what is at the core of bodily autonomy and consent, and the lack of cross-species empathy or feeling of responsibility for continued husbandry, and the fallacy of the innocent bystander. oh yeah, also they eat people. metaphorically but also literally. btw did i mention cultural genocide, check it out. *shows an aborted ceremony and abandonment of an entire community upon finalized conversion*

many people give the nfl a lot of shit for the injury and concussion rates but like. the nhl has a very comparable rate of injury and concussion and doesn’t acknowledge it + has a much worse culture around it. the nfl is by no means perfect but they are working to improve the gear to help players (see the guardian helmets for example, as well as helmet designs per position) meanwhile the nhl doesn’t seem to give a fuck about it’s players’ safety at all as we’ve seen time and again.

the zendaya thing isnt even a new phenomenon by any means!! the article mentions margot robbie wearing the taj mahal diamond as well, and in addition to that i also want to remind people that diljit dosanjh's request to wear the patiala necklace for the 2025 met gala was denied by cartier because they said it was in a museum and could not be loaned. however they had no issues at all loaning it to emma chamberlain, a white woman, for the 2022 met gala, while they turned down the request of a punjabi man who wanted it to honor his heritage.
