Hunger is the dirtiest feeling in universe.😔

‼️ WFP/WHO: Very little aid entered Gaza after 11 weeks, IOF subjecting trucks to delays & inspections + Palestinians traveling 25km to aid

🚚 WFP: 15 aid trucks looted due to IOF targeting & killing 6 officers on Thursday,

Theft of humanitarian aid in Gaza as a result of the Israeli military imposing unsafe routes.

Humanitarian aid allowed by the Zionist occupation due to international and popular pressure and governments and peoples who reject the continuation of famine and the starvation of children.

The Zionist occupation is forced to allow in this aid, so it is putting up obstacles under the table in order to prove to the world that there is no famine and to stop the popular and international pressure.

You are able to change the bitter reality that our children suffer from daily, morning and evening. Your voice forced the Zionist occupation to allow the entry of aid, and your voice is what will allow this aid to reach our children in the northern Gaza Strip.

Yet again, more proof that capitalism was never about "freedom" or "small government".

[lastoneout]

It really is wild that some politicians can stand there and say "yeah we're getting rid of a program that keeps quite literally millions of people alive specifically so we can cut taxes for people who are already richer than god" as if it's a normal political stance and not so cartoonishly evil I'm legit shocked perry the platypus doesn't break through the nearest wall the minute the words leave their mouth.

[lastoneout]

"I think rich people should have more money at the expense of a healthcare program millions of disabled people rely on" is not a coherent political belief it's the kind of thing the villian in a kids movie says. Gonna tell me you want to skin puppies to make a coat next?

[lastoneout]

I think if you say out loud you think billionaires need more money and we should kill disabled people to make it happen then every person in a 5ft radius should be legally obligated to punch you as hard as they can.

Dina and Ahmed's family are currently in the street as theres bombings in their area. They weren't able to take any of their things with them, I wish for them to be safe and that they'll be able to go back to something before nighttime comes. I am so so sad and worried for both parents, how harrowing and exhausting and horrifying must this be. And I have no more words for their kids, who should be drawing and playing, not running, scared for their lives every day, all while starving. I sincerely wish that they'll be okay.

Please keep speaking up and acting in support of Palestine in any way you can; at the very least I hope you will donate to their campaign!

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

#can someone please explain the origins of the ‘CELIBACY’ boy band gif to me? #I have yet to figure them out via @platypusparfait

so the original clip is when BTS was on james corden's show, and even the interview itself is so funny bc like one day before they came on his show, corden made fun of BTS fans and essentially said they're all ~dumb teenage girls~ and therefore their opinions don't matter, and obviously the fans did their usual thing on social media and nobody cared because it's james corden

BTS comes on the show the next day, they immediately bring it up and call him out on it, they obviously all hate his ass (and they never come on his show again), corden's making excuses for himself and avoiding accountability and being like "poor me i'm the real victim here!!!!!" and one of them literally responds to that by interrupting him and saying "we accept your apology :)"

after that, someone made this tiktok (and i saved it bc it makes me cry laugh every time):

and then someone used that tiktok to make the gif, and as far as i can tell, the first ever use of the gif was on the celibacy sweep tumblr poll:

[nedlittle]

it makes me sad the way cis women are so terrified of and disgusted by their own body hair. and i'm not talking "i have to shave for sensory reasons" i mean i keep seeing videos of women using hair identifier spray on their faces and hands so they can shave the tiniest barely-there bits of peach fuzz that came free with their bodies. hair that serves a purpose and that purpose is cleanliness and protection. i mean when i was in elementary school girls who had barely hit puberty were talking about shaving their arms. i mean full-grown adult women who will have a breakdown if they see two days of stubble on their legs/crotch/ jaw/pits because god forbid you don't look like a perfect plastic barbie doll. god forbid your body that keeps you alive comes with hair that may not be soft and glossy and photogenic. some women are so afraid of having any hair apart from their head and eyebrows that they've uno reversed themselves into six different kinds of gender dysphoria that they can't recognize as such because they're convinced that this unnatural state of highly-groomed capital-informed beauty is how women have always been. you're so scared of looking "gross" or "ugly" or "mannish" that you can't even look at your body in the mirror and recognize what it is. sister you are an ape. why are you so determined to deny your nature.

"Happy photos of people reading Neil in the bath"

"Neil. Nakedness. Books. Bubbles. Baths." This is the blurb of a 2012 blog dedicated to reading Neil Gaiman's books in a bubble bath, taking a photo and sending it to the blog for Neil to appreciate. No, I'm not kidding.

I just discovered this and ugh. At the speed of the internet, indeed. This man couldn't wait long enough, for people to send him photos of them reading in a bathtub. On that blog there's photos of what looks in all effects, minors. Who thought this was a good idea? A 50 years old man reblogging photos of fans in bathtubs, almost all of them young women. The more I learn of this man, the more disgusted I become. Apparently a fan took the initiative: I wonder if it was actually a fan.

I don't feel comfortable putting the direct link to that blog, but it's still visible, I'm not inventing anything. Neil Gaiman was definitely monitoring the blog, because he reblogged and put a like on some of the most "explicit" ones.

"I bet he did".

As I said, a 50 years old man was actively liking and reblogging photos of his young female fans, naked in bathtubs. Some of them look way too young for comfort, that's why I censored them: even if it makes little sense since they're still on that blog, it still felt right.

As of February 2024, no one still saw it as weird, included Neil "Simpler Times" Gaiman. It's been under our noses this whole time.

[heritageposts]

nowhere on the blog does it say you have to be an adult to submit photos either. not that i'd trust the student (how old?) running this to reliably verify the age of the submissions they were getting anyway, but still... how did gaiman not see an obvious problem here?

like it's incredibly creepy to be soliciting nudes from his fans regardless of their age — and that is what he's doing here, even if it is technically happening through a third party — but the fact that there isn't even a mild 'no minors' disclaimer on the blog he's plugging, and that gaiman, a man then in his 50s, still chose to emphasize that it's totally okay for fans to submit pictures of themselves naked?

i'm not sure 'creepy' really covers it

SUBTEXT

so I've focused in on Perceval and Bors before, and I've done Perceval and Gender (for more on this specifically, see: Clothes Make The Man: Parzival Dressed and Undressed, Michael D. Amey) and did a whole comic that leaned into some subtext™ on temptation, but actually let's throw out the subtext! let's bring Augustine into this!!

Perceval, de Troyes (trans. Burton Raffel)

introduction to Confessions, Augustine (trans. Sarah Ruden)

so for perceval a knight is both the gender he wants to perform but also something that is expressly compared to god, and if god is a lover that seduces. well. does this not also apply to knights as well?

Homosexuality in the Renaissance: Behavior, Identity, and Artistic Expression, James M. Saslow

and while galahad might be the obvious choice, I think perceval's relationship with bors during the grail quest narrative is more interesting. it's not god that transforms perceval, it's the sight of knights for the first time. something in here specifically is incredibly intriguing to me, but there's a different text I need to finish reading to fully form some thoughts on it.

le Morte d’Arthur

and finally! tentatively. I think I might slowly start turning this idea I had a couple years back into a fully formed comic. we'll see! I had most of it blocked out, but halfway through reading augustine's confessions, I think was when perceval finally clicked for me as a character in a later narrative cycle setting. I think I might have to spend a lot of time doing some visual research first because my god I cannot consistently draw armor to save my life......back when I lived in new england, there was a museum with a wonderful medieval armor collection I could visit.....alas.........I will have to hit the books (literally, I have a collection of books on medieval armor but this is apparently the one thing I can't visualize properly in my imagination. save me, museum collections, you're my only hope)

Yeah, they’re gonna lift the working class right into a company town.

Only rich people would think this was a good idea.

[beaniebaneenie]

Learn your history, people!

We DID this shit- for DECADES. It was fucking awful. Companies paid people in “scrip” which was only good for use at the Company Store. So effectively, the company got your money coming and going, and they didn’t pay you at all. And the longer it went on, the less likely you were to have savings that could have helped you move away or get a different job.

I’ve already seen one ad trying very sneakily to promote the idea of “AmazonBucks”, including giving them to workers as rewards, or instead of things like healthcare, sick days, and PTO.

Here’s your reminder that scrip is fucking illegal, that company towns are always a shit idea that should stay dead and buried, and that if unions didn’t work? Every big company out there wouldn’t be fighting tooth and nail to destroy them.

You know how shitty it is that your health care insurance is directly tied to your job? Imagine if your housing worked the same way. Your husband or wife dies in a warehouse accident and you have 30 days to find a new place to live.
