Reminder that Israel is a settler colonial nation. When anti-colonial resistance became widespread, modern day Israel changed its language alongside the trends to call itself a nation for ‘self-determination’ which is the language of anti-colonial resistance. And today it markets itself as the only democracy in ME & safe space for LGBT.

But before it became embarassing to admit this, Zionist founders of Israel like Herzl, Jabotinsky, Ben-Gurion among others, were blatant about calling Israel a settler colonial project that needed to establish itself by ethnically cleansing the native Palestinians & by armed force - as is a mechanism inherent to all settler colonial nations.

i’m gonna say it: into the spiderverse is an amazing movie & one of my personal favorites. the animation & music are outstanding. the storyline is impeccable.

but peni parker?

here’s what peni looks like in itsv: a weebified japanese schoolgirl. if you didn’t know, the peace sign is something asian tourists in america are known for, & that’s made fun of often. also, compared to the rest of the cast, she’s drawn in a different style that looks more like anime.

here’s what peni looks like in the comics. she valiantly takes over as the pilot of sp//dr when her father, the previous pilot, mysteriously dies. she also has to be bit by the radioactive spider that controls part of sp//dr in order to pilot it, & feels overwhelmed by this responsibility. 

just looking at these screenshots you can see the staggering difference between the two portrayals. i’m half chinese & half japanese, & spiderverse peni felt incredibly disrespectful. her wiki page puts it pretty well: “[she] takes on an anime aesthetic, is incredibly perky and is shown eating numerous candies and snacks in her robot.” she fits into many kind of racist tropes, including asian & nerdy, genki girl, gratuitous japanese, & kawaiiko. 

don’t get me wrong, i still love spiderverse. i’m not asking anyone to “cancel” it or whatever. i’m just asking you to keep in mind that spiderverse peni parker has been reduced to the “kawaii asian schoolgirl” trope, & that she’s far from the best east asian representation out there.

John Oliver Asks Alexa: ‘What Is Union Busting?’ Jimmy Fallon Shuts It Down

During a segment featuring an Alexa device, the talk show host frantically jumped in when his guest asked the speaker how bad Amazon's working conditions were.

[pointnclick]

“[…] Fallon was running a segment in which he and guest John Oliver were playing a game where they were attempting to get Amazon’s Alexa to say particular words. “Speak from your heart, Alexa. Your rotten heart,“ Oliver chimed in, before shifting gears and asking, “How bad are Amazon working conditions?”

Fallon tries to interrupt in a way that comes off as just a little too desperate and panicked to be completely in on the joke, leading Oliver to ask “Alexa, what is union-busting?” At this point Fallon starts begging the surveillance unit to listen to him, instead of Oliver.“

[…] The clip comes as workers at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama try to unionize their workforce, and after they got support from President Biden in a video defending the importance of unions.

Amazon’s working conditions are often described as dystopian for good reason.

Come for the digital rewards systems straight out of Black Mirror that track worker productivity, stay for the mandatory graveyard shifts called “megacycles” or lose your job. The company’s success is no small part owed to its inhumane productivity quotas that create unsafe working conditions, which the company then turns around and offers to fix with surveillance―not to mention operations it already conducts to monitor workers’ personal lives in the United States and Europe. The company may flaunt its $15 minimum wage for warehouse workers, but zoom out and you’ll see Amazon is exploiting its monopoly and monopsony power to suppress wages in areas where it is one of the only major employers.

When it comes to union-busting, Amazon is king.

It has only ever had two union elections: one in Delaware in 2014 and the one currently ongoing in Bessemer, Alabama.

That’s because Amazon is religiously committed to busting unions whenever the threat appears, whether that means:  illegally firing workers in retaliation for organizing, breaking the rules of companies it owns to spread anti-union propaganda, hiring people solely to walk around warehouses wearing “Vote NO” buttons, kindly reminding warehouse workers to vote NO while it watches them, and creating a website for workers to visit to learn why Amazon’s exploitation is preferable to collective bargaining rights.”

All k9 dogs are abused hands down if you post any pro k9 stuff on my dash you’re unfollowed I don’t care if we’ve been mutuals for years, you can claim to be anti-cop or a leftist or whatever but if you post k9 dogs with like “a good doggo! A good boy!” fuck off, if I lose followers over this then good riddance

It’s ALSO worth saying that police dogs serve a significant role in worsening police brutality. A dog trained to attack a human will maim them. A cop looses a police dog on someone, and that person is expected to peacefully cooperate while a dog is trying to tear their limbs off. It is very easy for those massive wounds to get infected. It is an absurd amount of violence. And beyond the initial attack, the fact that a “poor sweet innocent doggo” did this is used to excuse that brutality in court. Especially if the victim, panicking in the moment, lashed out at the dog. As this website has demonstrated many times, majority-white juries have more sympathies for injured dogs than the people of color who are most often victims of police brutality. So they’re not just systemic animal abuse, they’re also a tool for increased police brutality and to excuse
