Megan is correct! If you're in Chicago go check out my short film playing at the Chicago Horror Film Fest this weekend - I will be busy moving into my new apartment instead of being there :( but you can hang out with Megan instead :)

If we truly want to tackle sexual violence in our communities, if we want to create a world in which people can grow from the awful things they've done, then we have to a) center survivors and not override their desires; & b) allow perpetrators to earnestly engage in rehabilitative processes.

Christa Pike was tortured yesterday by the state of TN in every single USians name and the fact is that this is a country that is mostly OK with this. This says everything about all of us. We are all implicated in this barbaric practice. It's sickening.

I understand that most people using the word "vizier" as a fantasy trope aren't actually aware of its etymological origin, and I'm not claiming I've never done it myself, but "we say the word 'advisor' in Arabic when we want to denote that the advisor in question is evil" still isn't a great look.

New: Macklemore will donate entire $1M of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to six orgs helping Palestinians — and invites Robert Kraft to match him. Says he wants to center Palestinians being killed + journalists & aid workers who keep going. "Their risk is of a far different order than mine."
With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
That is what this has always been about. Not me. Not a tour. Not the headlines or the controversy. It is about Palestinians right to freedom, dignity and safety in their own homeland. I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in. I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine. Their risk is of a far different order than mine.
Just yesterday, 15 year old Muhammad al Zinati was killed in an Israeli strike while rushing to help aid worker Sherif Lubbad, who had already been injured. He was a child. Both were murdered. Both should be alive. And the ones still under the rubble, whose names exist only in the memories of people who may not have survived to speak them. Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me. I am doing it because I can, and because these organizations are doing the work while much of the world debates it.
But aid alone cannot address the conditions that make it necessary. This is a manmade injustice, and I believe it requires immediate political change. Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free. That is where my focus will remain. I will …

Reminder, Elisa Teague, @elisateague.bsky.social is a genocide denying racist, and platforming her is tacit support of her views.

In addition to that, the keffiyeh originates from Kufa in Iraq.
The black and white version was adopted as a Palestinian symbol in the 1960s when Yasser Arafat literally made up the term "Palestinians" and used it as a symbol for nationalism against Israel in PLO's original terror attacks. It was literally worn to mask identities of terrorists, just like KKK hoods are. E-
Now, it is worn as a symbol for pro-Palestinian solidarity around the world by people who have no idea what the real history of the region is. Imagine if that were true of KKK hoods and the fear and betrayal you'dha fear seeing your friends wear them as a fashion/political

this is excellent
stigmatizing Rowling’s weaponization of childhood not only requires personal withdrawal for most people, it necessitates something much more difficult: being a giant fucking killjoy. You should tell people discussing the show that you’re not watching it, and why, and you should let yourself openly cringe at your sister-in-law’s Harry Potter tote bag, and you should bring up unprompted that the onslaught of legislation against trans people makes you sad and angry, presuming it does, and you should do this because, not despite, the fact that it will make you look annoying as hell and may make everyone present uncomfortable. (You probably won’t even get the kudos of looking like a cool ally, because you’re still ultimately talking about Harry Potter. Sorry about that.)
