Its like the 80’s all over again, a remorseless madwoman runs the UK, a maniacal bastard runs the US, the world’s on the brink of nuclear war and all I want to do is listen to synthpop
star wars, ghostbusters, and mad max all pass the bechdel test now tho
that helps with the deja vu but tragically not the crushing fear of nuclear apocalypse
try the synthpop again
u think ur on a first name basis with mr. krabs
it is tiring, being endless political just as someone existing. my teacher asks me if i’m writing more of that “feminist poetry.” a lot of it is just talking about me, being a woman, being afraid in the city. i write about walking a line, about how i am expected to choose between home and work, how each comes with a slew of its own insults; how it feels when i am wearing shorts and there are too many men outside. these are just facts of my life. someone in the comments says, “where are woman even coming up with these crazy generalizations in their feminism?”
i hold hands with the prettiest girl i’ve ever seen and someone sighs when they see me. “do they have to make everything gay?” she asks her friend, loudly, “like, do you have to force those views in my face all the time?” i can’t stop blushing. my girlfriend holds my fingers tighter, tighter, tighter, until my knuckles are white, and i let her. somehow, this is us, protesting.
my father’s cuban blood stains my skin, i think. when i am honored with a position in the dean’s private council, a boy sneers, “you only got in because you’re hispanic.” did i? i spend the rest of our meetings wondering if i was selected for my stellar academic record, for the multiple recommendations, for the clubs i lead - or if i was just a move the dean made, to make use of me. when we all take a picture, the dean brings me in the front. in the first three we take, i am not smiling.
it is odd. “i exist.” i say, “i deserve to exist.”
“oh my god,” he groans, “we get it, you’re a feminist.”
“She adopted him because his owner didn’t want him anymore. She’s prone to adopting animals.” - saaaraaaaahh
I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to have been in the queer movement for 20+ years, to have studied queer theory, to have contributed to you potentially enjoying the rights you have today because I was part of a groundswell of lobbying and direct action in the 1990s….
…to have a 15 year old who’s spent maybe 8 months being political and has never inquired about queer history anonymously message me, “EXCUSE ME QU**R IS A SLUR LMAO OMG EMBARRASSSING AN aCTUAL ADULT WHO THINKS IT’S OKAY TO USE QU**R!~!!!!”
Dude, we are a slur. Queer folks are a slur to conservative straight people. Everything we are will be used as a slur by everyone who hates us. Gay is a slur. Lesbian is a slur. People will try to use all of our words against us. Don’t fucking let them get into your head to the point at which you’re telling actual queer people not to use the words we’ve used to unite ourselves and empower ourselves for decades.
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
This is just your daily reminder
That Gal Gadot has never ‘supported the Palestinian genocide’.
Does not have a rifle with the notch marks of all those she’s killed.
And has stated outright that she believes in coexistence.
She worked as a fitness instructor, never seeing combat during her mandatory stint in the Israeli army (IDF), and the only thing she said was that she wished luck to her former colleagues in the army (you know, the equivalent of ‘Support Our Troops’) and specifically wished them luck against (and condemned) Hamas, which is a terrorist organization. Her tags then went on to note #stopterror and #coexistance.
You don’t have to like her, or Wonder Woman, or DC, but if you could keep the antisemitism out of it, that’d be great.
I’m gonna need some sources cause I’ve been very conflicted about wanting to go see the movie.
The text is a little small but here’s a transcript:
“I am sending my love and prayers to my fellow Israeli citizens. Especially to all the boys and girls who are risking their lives protecting my country against the horrific acts conducted by Hamas, who are hiding like cowards behind women and children. We shall overcome! Shabbat Shalom! #weareright #freegazafromHamas #stopterror #coexistence #iloveidf”
So one more time:
In Israel, EVERY citizen is REQUIRED to serve in the IDF. It is a mandatory conscription army. So her involvement in the army wasn’t really a ‘choice’. And she’s sending love out to other people, young people, who also didn’t really have a choice.
The only thing she ever condemns or supports their fight against is Hamas, which has been condemned as a terrorist organization by multiple countries with verified human rights violations and who has been known to obstruct efforts towards a peaceful resolution.
She objects to terrorist action and the killing of civilians. She tags it ‘coexistence’ and ‘stopterror’.
Nowhere does she support Israeli dominance, or the horrific treatment of Palestinians. Nowhere does she carte blanche support Israel’s actions; she just expresses her concern and is praying for the ‘boys and girls’ who are part of her country’s military in the face of horrific terrorist behavior. Nowhere does she wholesale blame Palestinians for the conflict and in fact seems to be horrified that civilians are caught in the middle of this. Nowhere does she wants to free Gaza from Palestinians; just a known terrorist organization.
She’s not being anti-black or anti-brown, she’s not being anti-Palestinian, and she’s definitely not giving a thumbs up to war crimes or exulting in the death of ANYONE. She’s praying and supporting her country’s young people in a really awful, complex situation and she’s very clearly condemning a SPECIFIC organization instead of painting all Palestinians in any way.
The politics of the region are complex and obviously, there’s a lot of layers and conflicting information and feelings but like… someone saying ‘I love and am praying for people in a terrible conflict and want us to overcome it’ isn’t what a lot of people are making it out to be. Is she directing her concern in one direction? Somewhat, yeah. Can you object to the fact that she doesn’t outright say ‘I pray for Palestine’? Definitely. But there’s being more concerned for your own people and then there’s what people are making out she is and has said.
Like I said: dislike her or dislike Wonder Woman or have no interest in the DCEU, but the blatant exacerbation of this post and the additions people have made (about her being a sniper, etc) is just outright antisemitism, plain and simple.
@ ALL THE FUCKING IDIOTS ON MY WONDER WOMAN POSTS THAT IVE BEEN TELLING THIS TO FOR LITERALLY A WEEK. FACT. CHECK. BEFORE. YOU. POST. IGNORANT. SHIT.
I love how when Jewish people say “people are spreading anti-semitic lies about Gal Gadot” we are asked to prove it but y'all don’t go check to make sure the horrific claims against her (like the one that she had tick marks on her rifle, which is straight up blood libel) are true before y'all spread them you want to believe the worst of Jewish people and refuse to believe when we defend ourselves. just admit you’re anti-semitic already.

terfs are a funny to me cuz they really think that trans women are just ‘pretending to be women’ so we can gain access to female spaces. like Bethany do you really think I’m risking being murdered in the streets so I can join your riot grrrrl face book group or watch you leave the girls bathroom without washing your hands.
