Morrison said something similar about how “evil” is spectacularized. Very frankly what I tend to find in a lot of this is that people don’t really know what a “good person” actually is
rip dante your pious ass would have hated hozier turning francesca and paolo’s punished sin into an unapologetic act of love they would choose all over again despite any damnation
what if i told you that misogyny against fictional characters is a byproduct of how normal misogyny is in real life and therefore both should be addressed !
I can never overemphasize this bc it’s insane how the suffering and death of people in west asia has been so totally normalized that people simply don’t care
if one person in the west is injured in an attack it’s tragic but thousands will die in west asia and nobody blinks
If you haven't swapped from Google Doc yet, I would HIGHLY recommend Ellipsus as an alternative. They're free, no strings, and are quite forward about being anti-ai and llm stuff. Oh they also have a directly upload to ao3 option
1/12 Bahrain is one of the gulf countries being hit with missiles, and as people follow the news, it’s important you understand the country, its context and history:
The indigenous population of Bahrain are the Baharna (بحارنة) – mostly made up of Arab Shia (it was one of the first countries to become Shia in the region in the 7th century). The Alkhalifa family (from the Bani Utbah tribe) occupied Bahrain by force in 1783 coming from Zubara (modern day Qatar) and have been ruling with violence since then. During the 2011 uprising one of the prominent chants was “go back to Zubara, your visit is over”, as the Bahrainis consider themselves occupied. This makes Bahrain the oldest ongoing occupation in the region.
Signing up to die for the USA and then realizing you actually probably have to go kill innocent people and then still die for the USA and it isn’t just free money is the most American thing ever
(Jokes aside they are fleeing to South Africa and Kenya and we should be fucking terrified. Cause they're not just terrorist colonialists. They are terrorist colonialists with egos bruised from losing.)
No one wants to see migrant workers, Sudanis, civilians in general die, but nuance can’t be a shield for a state funding the genocide of indigenous Black Africans. The UAE-RSF already killed 100,000 Darfuris in El Fasher alone. This genocide will continue if they’re not forcefully stopped.
With this talk about sex education, here’s an article written by Black sexologist, the late Dr. June Dobbs Butts entitled, “Sex Education: Who Needs It?” from Ebony Magazine’s April 1977.
You guys are on CRACK if you think the UAE shouldn’t face direct retaliation for creating the largest humanitarian crisis in history against indigenous Black Africans. They are wreaking havoc on the entire East African region and it won’t end until they’re forcefully stopped.
Literally no Muslim in the world is shocked. Lol.
This is not news.
Edward Snowden leaked 10 years ago that MI6, CIA and Mossad worked together to create and train ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and every local off-shoot terrorist group.
And just last year, US congressman Scott Perry whistle blew that the US has been funding all these groups through USAID.
But guess what the biggest tell has always been?
The people these “Muslim terror groups” love to kill the most are Muslims! And only carried out their first controlled attack on Israel in 2017 when rumour mills started to reveal the Mossad connection. (Spoiler alert: it was a false flag).
So, despite years of you telling us that “Muslim radical Islamist terrorists” are the greatest threat to western civilization and they especially “hate Jews” they mainly target their own people and not their “greatest enemy”?
Lol.
Here’s something else you might mot know, and it’ll help explain the below - Iran has been fighting to try and eliminate these groups for decades!
“Al Qaeda urges Muslims to back Israel over Iran”. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, because they are Israel and Israel is them.
