I have an end-of-life patient to whom I spoke today. She burst out laughing and said, "It was all such fun. I just had so much fun." I wish this for everyone. I wish that we each would meet death laughing, with little regret and even less fear.

also we should absolutely question the show's choice to remove gabrielle, magnus and marius' overt antiblackness from the tvl book when the writers got armand out here acting like he's auditioning for kkk grand wizard. clearly the show isn't shying away from depicting antiblack violence considering the treatment of black characters in the past two episodes, so the refusal to depict gabriella, marius and magnus as the white supremacists they were in the source material, is a blatant tell- the writers are protective of their white characters, even the antagonists, and don't want them to seem "too" evil (which tracks for white and nonblack liberals acting like being called racist is worse than being racist.) and this clearly isn't a concern they have when it comes to the characters of color- armand has for 2 seasons now enacted forms of explicit violence inflicted on enslaved black people- louis and claudia's cut ankle tendons, the entire public humiliation of the trial, claudia's burning, louis' head on a spike, coercing him into a performance of self-debasement and contrition and branding his body- and claudia calls her black father a slave in a bioessentialist, derogatory context and expresses a level of internalized antiblackness she was never even hinted at feeling when she was alive. in both scenes, the narrative is much harsher on louis than on lestat and the nonblack writers go into extreme detail in their antiblack dialogue and racialized, borderline pornographic depiction of louis' torture. but gabriella is portrayed shallowly complimenting louis' beauty when realistically she would be calling him slurs when talking about him to lestat, magnus' "master race" aspirations and fixation on white supremacist beauty standards for how he chose his victim pool and "heir" aren't addressed, and marius' racial politics ("rotten boy", the whitewashed portrait of armand- we know he's racist, the show just hasn't acknowledged it and intentionally excluded the parts of tvl where he expresses that racism when talking to lestat) remain an elephant in the room. and ofc the way the writers are tryna be like "see lestat isn't racist, black people love him" in-universe through characters like merrick and paul (lol. lmao even) and tryna overwrite or dance around every textual example of lestat's antiblackness is so transparent in its clumsiness.

i don’t like this analogy anyway but whenever i hear someone try to explain why Jews aren’t indigenous to Israel via a metaphorical house i’m like dawg it’s so much worse than you could ever imagine??? “imagine someone showed up at your house and decided it belonged to them bc sky daddy said so” no actually imagine someone showed up at a house you occupied but did not claim to own until very recently and said “hi i built this house and was unlawfully evicted and i know you had no part in that but uh it’s still my house?? and also some of my extended family still live here from what i can tell but they aren’t allowed in any of the common areas so that’s. cool. and all our family heirlooms and portraits and sentimental items are still on display but it seems you are variously claiming they belong to you despite evidence to the contrary. look dude i don’t actually need you to move out i would just like to be able to live in my house and not worry about vandalism or unlawful eviction or anything again.” and then some fucko from another neighborhood pops out of the bushes and says “ummmmm actually i’ve never seen you before so you don’t own this house. that deed isn’t a legally binding contract because i said so. the current occupants are the only people who have ever lived here and actually they built this house and you should be shot for suggesting otherwise. no you cannot build a new house or live anywhere else.”

Oh.

Things might actually be *bad* bad, huh?

Keep in mind that the lowest amount of time is more than double than even the harshest sentence given to anyone who participated in the attempted fascist coup on January 6th

I often feel that to be born a Jew is to be born grieving. I often feel that grief is all I will ever be.

[dispassionedgrace]

grief is evidence of love. we have lost so many we loved so dearly and in the spirit of that love we resist annihilation and nurture becoming, over and over and over again. at least our sorrows can be shared, my friend

Something I think that a lot of leftists and progressives fail to understand, is that the push against normalization with Israel and for the complete dissolution of the state, actively makes the situation worse for Palestinians. It actively makes the conflict worse, and I would argue is one of the direct causes for the war getting as bad as it did.

You are directly harming your own cause.

Refusing to acknowledge the existence of the State of Israel doesn’t materially change the reality that Israel is a sovereign nation with over ten million citizens. When leftists in the west chant “from the river to the sea” and “we don’t want no two states”, regardless of the intention, what do you think Israelis hear? What do you think a people that has faced genocide in living memory, from which our population still has not recovered, gets from that? We don’t hear it and consider your points, we hear it and remember all of the times Israel has been attacked with genocidal intent, and only survived through our own defense.

And what does this ultimately result it? It results in Israelis who no longer believe in the peace process. It results in Israelis who feel a visceral sense of fear which leads to doubling down on national security. It leads to diaspora Jews feeling unsafe in their communities and immigrating to Israel.

It leads to the total dissolution of the peace process, and what happens if there is no chance for peace? If there’s no hope for any type of solution then the only answer is endless war, and this war doesn’t just hurt Israelis, you know that.

[imyourbadjew]

They're not harming their own cause, because their cause is not about helping Palestinians, it's about destroying Israel

[the-library-alcove]

It's not even about Destroying Israel--it's about harming and killing Jews.

i love debate and philosophy so when people debate me/argue with me about the existence of Gd ngl it’s super hard for me. like “how do you justify belief in Gd for [x] reason” and i have to somehow explain that for me belief has nothing to do with it.

[dispassionedgrace]

to be clear i don’t mean i don’t think Gd exists, i mean i don’t “believe” in Gd’s existence as if it were something abstract when all my life i have had conversations and confrontations with Him. that’s not a thing to believe or disbelieve in my experience, rather it is just a facet of being

💖 these are the four artists who, in light of the most recent season, appear to have carried iwtv on their backs while the white showrunner got all the credit. very impressed with their work not just writing/directing/editing-wise but because their presence clearly set a certain tone in that writers' room. and i imagine it took quite a bit of effort to maintain it, considering what that writers' room turned into once they were no longer in the picture. i'm really excited to keep an eye on their careers and i hope they move on to do great things with more creative control

[dispassionedgrace]

i’m gonna be so honest after the scene where claudia called louis a slave i kind of threw up my hands at the rest of the season. i’m not black so i’m not gonna be the arbiter of what black fans should feel about this but that just felt so fucking weird and out of touch.

[dispassionedgrace]

cannot believe i have to say this but no the bad writing of armand’s character as implicitly nefarious/terroristic is not “zionist propaganda” what the fuck are y’all on about

[nonbinaryjudean]

Can we PLEASE stop saying that “nobody spoke Hebrew for thousands of years”?? Can we stop saying it completely vanished???? This mindset feeds into antizionist “modern Hebrew is a fake invented language” nonsense, Christianity wanting to appropriate Hebrew from us, weird new age internet pagans treating it as a “spooky mystical secret” language, and the idea that Jewish diaspora carved us into several peoples as opposed to one. Hebrew was spoken by Jews throughout the entirety of our exile. Hebrew was a Jewish lingua Franca. Hebrew is the language our sacred texts are in. Hebrew was a language medieval Jewish poets wrote in. Hebrew is the language we’ve prayed in, while facing Jerusalem, in the land that language comes from, for thousands of years. Diasporic Jewish languages only exist because of Hebrew. Because Hebrew is a language we spoke.
