sa panahong patuloy ang pagdanak ng dugo at paglapastangan sa karapatang pantao sa Gaza, hindi nakakatuwa na malugod pang tinatanggap ang kinatawan ng estadong pumapatay sa kabataan, kababaihan, at iba pang inosenteng Palestinian.

To those of you saying it’s a shame these discussion aren’t working to discourage these tropes, well that would be because these convos tend to end on the conclusion that eroticizing your trauma a healthy and fine coping mechanism for dealing with patriarchy actually, and that

No one asked, but I kinda wanna give a crash course on how to engage in better media literacy cause i keep seeing posts like this.

The best thing you can do to improve is simple: meet a story where it's at, ideally without preconceived notions. 🧵

And yes, what we all consider to be "normal," at one point, can also be wrong and harmful to us individually, and collectively.

Not a fan of the cultural relativism that's being spread around whenever colonialism, abuse, and authoritarian rule are the main topics of discussion. Colonialism requires large-scale violence, and that inevitably leads to subjugation.

[nelle @NelleUy2]

So I'm really not a fan of the arguments that some cultures "prefer," or are "predisposed," towards tyrannical systems. What any society considers to be acceptable, can be questioned. It can change.

Playable characters are not always given canonical, romantic love interests in gacha, as some have rightfully pointed out. So hyv doing this would definitely raise the stakes for the story, rather than just trying to please the usual audience for these types of games...

[nelle @NelleUy2]

Depictions of platonic love are clearly needed in fiction, but there's also nothing wrong with women having romance, or sex. Yes, romance is not the only way to depict love. But there's nothing inherently wrong with it either. Let all kinds of love be present in these stories!

personal lore speculations aside i'm honestly hoping they don't go the lovers route bc a lot of the dialogue surrounding anastasya that i see under the pretense of them being in a relationship is already very weird. and i fear it's only going to get weirder if it's true lol.

[nelle @NelleUy2]

Regardless of our personal views when it comes to love, the direction of the Tsaritsa's arc, and Genshin's plot all depends on the story that the writers are trying to tell. What's left for audiences and critics to judge of course, is how well they can truly follow through 💜

[Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention @LemkinInstitute]

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention stands with artists who speak out against genocide.

When venues and sponsors silence those speaking out against genocide, they help sustain that very genocide.

The larger issue, of course, goes well beyond Ed Sheeran and Robert Kraft using large venues to silence those who speak out against genocide. A dangerous argument has emerged that naming genocide and standing against it is primarily a political act, when in fact it is now and always has been a moral imperative.

We urge Ed Sheeran to speak out against genocide and to use his immense power to push back against genocide supporters and genocide deniers seeking to silence our humanity.

Silence is complicity.

I feel that this piece by Guattari is one of those essays that becomes more and more interesting the deeper you go. Most intriguing is his mistrust of representation itself, which enables parties, analysts and intellectuals to speak for people in a way that reduces their very++

Jujur, yang paling menyedihkan dari pandangan seperti ini bukan cuma soal mereka tidak setuju dengan keberadaan kita. It's the realization that someone can treat you well while still believing, deep down, that you're somehow less worthy than them.

I think “the letter” feels like a betrayal on many levels; precisely because a few of the signatories were the very ones who taught us how to analyze imperialism and colonialism, and now, at the clearest moment of imperialist contradiction, they’re telling us “no, not here.”
