Sleep well Marjane Satrapi. You were a huge influence on me and my work in a way that cannot be understated. You will be missed but your work will carry on for generations to come

Repose en paix, dear Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026).

You were my goal during my teenage years. Photographs by Rahi Rezvani 🖤

gosh, I want one of those #hot #romantic enemies to lovers arcs like Pride and Prejudice!, in which I critically re-evaluate my impression of somebody and after more interactions over some time, slowly realize that on a practical level, we would make good partners

More and more often these days, in what is surely a sign that everything is just absolutely fine, I find myself recalling the wise words of the prophets written on the subway walls:

[userfish]

i hate when something violent happens to a right wing politician and every left leaning pundit and politician gets on their soap box about how "violence isn't the answer" as if the right wing ideology doesn't inherently encourage violence.

My dad is watching this historical drama and he’s like “there’s too much kissing. I thought there would be more politics” and I said “well for every person like you there’s someone else watching a political drama saying ‘there’s too much politics I thought there would be more kissing’” and for some reason that made him laugh so hard he almost crashed the car

charlie kirk did deserve to die. he deserved the way in which he died. he died wearing a shirt that said freedom, and his last word was "violence". he believed that the 2nd amendment required the sacrifice of lives. he loved the weapon that killed him more than the safety of his own young children. i hope it wasn't an instant death. i hope that just for a second he understood what was happening, and i hope he died scared.

yeah that’s exactly what happened

[dumbpuppyfag]

i'm old enough, i remember how they treated trayvon martin, this was a kid who got lynched for walking on the wrong street and they called his murderer a hero. they dragged trayvon's name through the mud, they called him every terrible thing under the sun and blamed him for his own murder. meanwhile if you even acknowledge the things that charlie kirk objectively was, the way he promoted himself, the things he proudly did, you're a disgusting monster. forgive me if i can't take that shit seriously

[kropotkindersurprise]

i don’t hate series finales because it’s the ending of a show.. i hate them because somehow writers find a way to fuck up the whole show in just one episode

In her own words:

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced.

I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

[yet-another-heathen]

"I was the last remaining Black full-time opinion columnist at the Post, in one of the nation’s most diverse regions. Washington D.C. no longer has a paper that reflects the people it serves. What happened to me is part of a broader purge of Black voices from academia, business, government, and media — a historical pattern as dangerous as it is shameful — and tragic."
