doomerism would be to say "there is no possible better future so we should give up entirely" (which is always strictly false). it is not to say "this system was not designed to help us but to disenfranchise us, and it will not solve the problem at hand, as it demonstrates repeatedly"

also gotta address the quoted post here, because a tendency i've been seeing a lot lately is people who have invested their lives into status quo systems claiming that people opposing those systems are "doomers"

I think about this dude in the gray shirt all the time. Getting his ass fucking kicked (for nothing but being a grieving Palestinian) and then seeing the coffin about to be dropped and summoning everything in him to get up off the ground and catch it. www.welcometohellworld.com/look-at-what...

The Al-Jazeera reporter was shot to death earlier this week by Israeli snipers according to her own outlet and first hand accounts from other journalists on the scene despite the fact that she was wearing a helmet and vest that clearly marked her as press. One might speculate that those identifiers made her a more attractive target. A journalist's life is no more valuable than that of any other average person but the killing of one by the state can often represent a very different type of thing considering the awareness of the increased coverage it will always get.

Look at what we can do. Even this. And what will be done about it?

In this video below you can see the man in the gray shirt being pretty severely attacked by the police. Imagine doing this at any funeral never mind one for someone you just assassinated never mind a famous and beloved media figure.

So he gets his ass kicked and just as the coffin is about to drop to the ground he runs over and holds it up.

whenever trump's DOJ has to go in front of a judge to get yelled at, every lawyer on here is like "omg i've NEVER seen a judge this mad, if a judge yelled at me like this i'd immediately commit seppeku," and then at the end of the hearing the judge is like "ok no sanctions just don't do it again"

The thing is, if you approach all this stuff, videogames, music, novels, film, with a "nothing human is alien to me" attitude... nothing is hard, and everything is a discovery. And you also realize basically anyone who did anything cool had some gender ambivalence going on

also i've never seen anyone mention this and the film does not explicitly call attention to it, but the scene in eclipse where bella shows up to werewolf house and the four werewolf boys (in human form) all come excitedly tearing out the front door at once like a bunch of puppies was very adorable

i mean, the real answer there is just to be gay but i understand the desire

what if there was a ripped broody emo guy with dark secrets and wisdom beyond his years and he took me on wild adventures and was so in love with me that he cried a bunch about it and also he's glittery and we lay in fields of flowers and be sad-in-love. like of course!

if you take it as the fantasy of a sheltered straight woman, it makes perfect sense. the world of men is stupid and boring and disappointing, no matter how hunky they are. what if there were two hunks fighting over me but they were actually interesting and had real problems and wanted to protect me

of course you could do some genuine critique from the left, and i know many have by now, but that's largely not why so many people made fun of it back in the day. but if you take it at face value like you would a superhero movie, it's just fun. but with a strongly female gaze. and that's its sin

i am watching the twilight series for the first time and enjoying it a lot more than i expected, certainly much more than i enjoyed the spiderman trilogy. pretty clear that all the dunking at the time was just regular style misogyny (with some homophobia thrown in for good, if confused, measure)

frequent updates piss me off, especially since they're very rarely providing anything of value, but rather the software equivalent of breaking into your bedroom and moving everything around, taking a couple of items away, and leaving a monitoring device and a couple of ads

and because these things are used as shibboleths online they are convinced that all trans women are always thinking these things. and i need yall to know that's not true and not healthy and it often rears its head in very ugly ways when applied to other trans women who don't

BedWords @snacklesbian.bsky.social · 20h

it bums me out that there's a culture among younger trans women (far from all of them ofc but it's there) of identifying heavily with all the 4chan trans lingo and self-hatred via frankly misogynistic beauty standards

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

Can we be honest that so called 'wokeness' meant Black people demanding full social personhood and refusing to be silent about getting murdered/harmed by the state? So yes, that is more threatening to many in this country than is fascism. I think that's been clear.
