Text of tweet under the cut because it is loooong.
But... Stochastic Parrots.
Carol J Clover’s (2015) Final Girl, the female slasher protagonist who survives to the end of the movie, has become a staple of horror scholarship, providing insight into the function of gender within the genre as well as our cultural beliefs surrounding femininity. Given the attention paid to horror’s leading ladies, however, another fascinating figure has gone unexplored: the Final Boy. This project analyzes nine horror films from the 1980s with young male protagonists in order to conceptualize and critique this previously unidentified trope. Utilizing McKerrow’s (1989) critical rhetoric as a guide, this research not only provides a thorough definition of the Final Boy, but a deconstruction of how this recurring narrative reinforces harmful ideological structures including misogyny, white supremacy, ableism, and homophobia. Ultimately, it is only the boys who are white, able bodied, heterosexual, emotionally repressed, and sexually successful who are able to survive to the end of the film. In doing so, they ascend, not just to manhood, but to a messianic status, allowing them to save both themselves and others. This trope serves to naturalize the oppressive hierarchy of masculinity through who gets to live and who has to die. Identifying the figure of the Final Boy gives us a deeper understanding of one of the horror genre’s most influential eras and sheds light on the covert ways that media can reinforce damaging cultural ideas about gender.

Tumblr has been deleting a lot of Palestinian blogs in the past 24 hours. Two of my friends have had their blogs deleted. Last night Ahmed remade and had his blog deleted 30 minutes later. Today, my friend Fadel had his blog deleted.
Fundraising on tumblr is survival. When tumblr deletes the blogs of people in Gaza, that is participation in genocide. It is unconscionable.
Fadel's new blog is @fadell-aldany. Please follow him there and send him a message of encouragement. He has been on tumblr for years and has lost all of his connections.
He's in the hospital because his blood count is so low from going too long without his blood medication and proper nutrition. He desperately needs funds, and he cannot raise them if no one finds his blog. Fadel's campaign (gazavetters #197) is hosted by a friend of mine. I am texting with Fadel right now as I type this, and I personally can confirm that this new account is really him.
Please help him find his previous followers!

The minister says the situation in Cuba is "extremely tense", as a US-led blockade of oil to the country causes widespread power cuts.
Fucking sickening, heartbreaking, disgusting. Hospitals, ambulances, water pumps, so much infrastructure shut down and so many lives hurt and lost because of it, all of this at the whim of the world's most brutal empire because they can't stand to have their will resisted so close to their shores by a society that has chosen time and time again to stand proud for the dream of a better world, a world without this blood-soaked hegemony.
I don't think there's any way to help Cuba get fuel directly, but links below if you want to help them with other goods in this terrible time

as someone concerned with mad liberation i see a lot of well-meaning people trying to argue against using "narcissisim" as an insult, defending it as a diagnosis and thus a category of disability. and it's just so deeply liberal and ass-backwards. narcissisim is an insult. the diagnosis is an insult. they haven't bastardized a medical condition, they've medicalized a term of abuse. they don't like you and want to hurt you because you're different and that's scary.
the term predates the medicalized disorder by thousands of years. ablism is so deeply ingrained and normalized, you aren't going to be able to disabuse people of these connotations and turn "narcissistic" into a neutral, clinical term, if there could be such a thing in psychology.
i don't oppose the prospect of like, reclaiming personality disorder labels as a praxis, but that's cripplepunk. it's operating outside the neoliberal hegemony. if you're doing it without understanding the power dynamics at play, you're gonna end up with a shallow dead-end idpol where you aren't equipped to navigate the ablism that's actually happening. you're trying to use the tools of the master (respectability and protected status.) but you can't wield them without sufficient privilege, and you've already been unpersoned.
Sooner or later leftists will have to deal with the issue that capitalism has made many people used to wanton excess and sooner or later we'll have to legit tell everyone we can't have plastic treats and luxury produce or cruises instantly available year round and it's gonna make so many people mad and call you a big meanie worse than stalin over it. It will not be popular at all but someone's gotta hold a firm no or the planet will never stop collapsing. We can't save the planet by living exactly how we do now just with a communist banner over it we have to take a loss sorry, shein product cycles shouldn't have been normalized to begin with.
The banana discourse really separated the wheat from the chaff of which "lefties" actually want a global workers revolution and which ones just want more stuff to be free

Hey all! It has been nearly a year since I've been absent from tumblr, and likewise almost a year since I have last updated you on Mona and her team's mutual aid inititatives. In that time, Mona's efforts have managed to keep entire communities of displaced people alive in the refugee encampments in Ghazzah, including through the distribution of staple foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, cooked meals, clean children's clothing, diapers, baby formula, and so much more. Please continue to support Mona's efforts through the new link on Chuffed. Remember! Every single dollar counts!!! Chuffed donation link.
For more information, please consult her Instagram!
If you also have more to spare, please help Mona support her sister and niece who have been displaced 6 times over the course of the accelerated genocide.
None of this is possible without Mona and her family's diligence and work. If you would like to send her a thank you note or well wishes, please include it in the replies to this post, in your tags, or in the comments! She always appreciates them ♡
