A few years back in Yosemite there was a problem with bears getting into trash cans and ppl said ‘why not make the cans more complex?’ And a ranger said ‘bc there is significant overlap between the smartest bear and dumbest human’ and this election feels like that quote to me
Every day, I think "what depraved crime does Israel have to commit until those who are silent speak out?"
Here, a United Nations report finds Israel deliberately destroyed Gaza's healthcare system as part of a policy of "extermination".
Literally:
What
Does

@camisbinging It's been so long since I first watched it that I've forgotten the plot details, so it's like I'm getting to experience it all over again 💜
"It will included Muslim candidates from Western Sydney, it will be a disaster". As a Muslim who grew up in Western Sydney I find this comment from someone who is running for PM an absolute disgrace. Bigotry at its finest. Fueling Islamophobia from the very top.
it goes without saying that JK Rowling’s take on Lolita is both extremely harmful (consider the source) and extremely common.
a few years ago back, i made a podcast about why. it’s called ‘Lolita podcast’ and takes a look at how culture took a complex book that’s a litmus test for whether its deeply sick protagonist can convince you he’s telling a love story and not the destruction of Dolores Haze’s life, and took him at his word.
it’s about everything from a deeper look at Nabokov’s life and implied experiences with CSA, to interviews with the women who played lolita onscreen and onstage as children, to young women today who have read the book and see it for the horror that it is and want to reclaim dolores, not lolita. it was really tough to make but hope it can help contextulaize why this read of a book that is far more complex than rowling can take on exists.
dolores forever 💖

keep gamers in your thoughts today they’re going through a lot, a guy who dresses up on stream like a pedophile turned out to be a pedophile and they don’t know whether it’s wokeisms fault or not yet
@Brocklesnitch Is the @BechdelCast pod on your radar?? More movie recap than comedy, but Jamie & Caitlin are both hilarious and highly talented in their own right 🙏
