I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.
It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.
We’ve all heard tales of the moon being made of cheese, but what if it were made of bones? Bone fragments. Bone dust. Partial skeletons from animals we have no name for, no knowledge of. What if the moon were made of bones?
please wear sunscreen!!! I've seen "fuck the beauty industrial complex" posts about complicated skincare regimens and am 100% with them except sometimes they mention sunscreen and no. no. absolutely not. sunscreen is a wonderful supportive friend who wants to keep you safe, and you should let her do it. throw out all your other cosmetics and skincare products if you want, but keep your sunscreen. and if you're not wearing sunscreen, start wearing it!!!! this is not about terror of aging, this is not about every tiny imperfection our fucked-up culture has made you feel insecure about, this is about protecting yourself from skin cancer. wear the damn sunscreen.
the idea that every summer will be as hot if not hotter than this for the rest of my life is unbearable i need to (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) murder an oil executive
being single sucks [remembers that romantic love isnt the gleaming beacon of salvation that will fix the chasm within me] #mychasm #isupportmychasm [remembers not to trivialize my emotions] but it is painful to never have been deemed worthy of that kind of lasting love [remembers how many incels there are] but honestly you should be totally self-sufficient and never want anything ever [remembers that im evil] im evil
How many names of these 9 U.S. citizens killed by Israel since 2022 alone do you recognize?
Qasim Rashid at Let's Address This:
Globally recognized labor organizer Chris Smalls is finally free from an Israeli prison. But not before the Israeli military brutally beat and tortured him for his ‘crime’ of traveling in the Handala Flotilla to get aid to Palestinians suffering genocide. Smalls, the only Black volunteer in a cohort of 17, was also the only person beaten and tortured. And you’d be hard pressed to find any American politician who screams “America first,” be wiling to condemn this injustice. The reason for that silence is as stark as it is sinister, it is a bipartisan failure, and it’s one we must recognize before Israel kills or tortures one more American.
Democratic and Republican politicians are both on record that, “If you harm or kill an American, we will respond.” But apparently, if the “you” in this conversation is the Israeli government or Israeli settlers, that promise to respond no longer applies. So if you’re wondering why the U.S. government is ignoring the Israeli military as it reportedly kidnapped, tortured, and beat U.S. citizen Chris Smalls, I want you to understand one thing—this is not a glitch in American foreign policy.
This is the policy.
Israel has a documented pattern of killing American citizens—many of them children, all of them innocent—and facing no consequences whatsoever. Corporate media often ignores the story, or mentions it in passing and moves on, and the cycle repeats. I wish I were exaggerating, but unfortunately, the receipts paint a devastating picture.
Israel Has Killed These U.S. Citizens Since 2022 Alone—And Faced Zero Consequences:
Ask yourself how many of these nine names you’ve heard, or seen mentioned in any meaningful way on corporate media? Al Jazeera compiled this recent list:
Omar Assad – Murdered. No one convicted. He was a 78-year-old elder.
Shireen Abu Akleh – Award-winning journalist. Murdered. No one convicted.
Tawfiq Ajaq – Murdered. No one convicted. He was a 17-year-old child.
Mohammed Khdour – Murdered. No one convicted. He was a 17-year-old child.
Jacob Flickinger – Murdered. No one convicted. A World Central Kitchen worker.
Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi – Murdered. No one convicted. She was only 26.
Kamel Jawad – Murdered. No one convicted. State Dept tried denying citizenship
Amer Rabee – Murdered. No one convicted. He was a 14-year-old child.
Sayfollah Kamel Musallet – Murdered. No one convicted. Beaten to death.
Nine American citizens. Several of them were children. None of them broke any law. All murdered by the Israeli military and by illegal Israeli settlers—none of whom have faced a shred of accountability. These are not isolated incidents. This is a pattern of impunity—a green light handed to Israel by the very government sworn to protect American lives.
And It’s Not Just These Nine
Let’s not forget Rachel Corrie, an American peace activist who was deliberately crushed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003. Her killer walked free. Or the USS Liberty, a U.S. Navy ship attacked by Israeli forces in 1967, killing 34 American sailors and wounding 171. Israel paid no real consequences. The U.S. swept it under the rug. And this is all but a snapshot of the many more American citizens harassed, tortured, arrested, beaten, and deported, meanwhile their tormentors escape accountability.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.’s column is a must-read on why the US looks the other way when Israel kills its citizens, with Shireen Abu Akleh and Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi being the most disturbing examples.
So we all agree that Rocky chose to walk around in a hamster ball just to be a menace, right? Because he could have done the glass suit thing from the beginning, but he PURPOSELY chose the hamster ball.
Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"
