theres something about being disabled and needing to sit down constantly in public spaces that makes you notice how often benches are put up as tributes and memorials. and before i hit an age where i really started to need them as frequently i think i never fully understood the sentiment but now its become very endearing to me. a bit of relief and care for you in the name of someone who offered us the same… i dont think i had a point with this post but i hope everyone thats been memorialized as such knows how loved they were to become synonymous with respite even to total strangers

[cparti-mkiki]

only ever referring to george villiers as le duc de boukinkam

[cparti-mkiki]

joke post but i am actually 100% serious in my appreciation of (to us) unusual spellings in a time of non-standardization..... ESPECIALLY when it allows you to get an idea of how a foreign name was pronounced / how people understood it lol

a huge shoutout to the spanish for hearing the count of essex as the count of sex

[lifeisyetfair]

The Earl of Essex! There was no Count of Essex, but earls are equivalent in rank to counts.

Which leads to the delightful "Conde de Sex" title of this Spanish play.

What really gets me about the sentiment "Don't look away" is that its always used in the wrong context. People may be well meaning, but what they end up doing is flooding the conversation with zionist carnage in a manner not unlike the way zionists *want* their atrocities to be seen.

Rather than thinking, "I must traumatize myself with this image for Palestine," try, "I will not turn my back on the people of Palestine." Watching them die is not enough. Speaking only of their suffering is not enough.

Don't look away when Palestinians resist. Don't condemn them when they fight for their lives and land. Speak for their rights to live and move freely in their own homeland. Do not look away from their life. Palestinians are here, they remain, and they will remain, and they are in the future, and they will live free and happy lives just as anyone else should be able to.

"Don't look away" should not be a call to engage in real life atrocities like its a horror movie. "Don't look away" should be a call to make Palestine the focus of everything. Don't let people FORGET or IGNORE what is happening. You can talk about what is happening without sharing the same ghoulish photos that zionists love.

I'm sorry but idgaf about no fucking pins on your suit when you should've been on the streets disrupting the oscars. cause further disruption. 5 minute delay wasn't enough

[robotpussy]

most of the people with ceasefire pins have not said one word about this ongoing genocide, they think wearing a pin is enough to suffice. it means nothing when you aren't doing any extra work. it also reminds me that not everybody asking for a ceasefire is actually pro-palestine and are just using it as a symbol of desired peace. but peace doesn't equate to freedom and liberation. oppression still thrives through peaceful environments

In the midst of the euphoria over the Oppenheimer awards sweep, please never forget that it was executive produced by this genocidal Zionist cunt

[fandomshatepeopleofcolor]

Anyways, here pro-Palestine academic Hamid Dabashi's review of Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer: The glorification of mass murder – coming to a cinema near you

Christopher Nolan’s stylish biopic seeks in earnest, but in vain, to give moral and political complexity to 'the father of the atomic bomb'

What’s crazy is that James woods is still alive?! 💀

[icedsodapop]

Sadly 😔 That man is fueled by hate I swear.

They don't actually give a fuck about us

"if we look at the Middle East, I think it's about time we stopped those of us who support—as most of us do—Israel in this body, for apologizing for our support for Israel. There's no apology to be made. None. It is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region." - Joe Biden (1986)

“Military occupations have always seemed irreversible, until in fact they are reversed, but it always takes the effort of the colonized to roll back what the colonizers have done. Occupations never ended voluntarily, or just because the more powerful nation wanted it, and have certainly never been the result of a one-sided negotiated settlement initiated and controlled by the dominant power.”

My monthly reminder to Tumblr that Black people exist all over the world. This implication that whenever a Black person's experience is brought up it "must be US centric" is ridiculous and low-key a dogwhistle atp. Black people are global. Antiblackness is global. I assure you that even if the Black people in your country don't deal with race the same exact way they do in the US, does not mean there aren't similarities in experience. Perhaps look for them in your spaces and LISTEN.

Escaping Gaza, for fun: Israelis take to 'escape rooms' that mimic war

As Israel battles Hamas in Gaza, some Israelis are spending their leisure time at escape rooms that mimic the realities of war.

Jesus FUCKING christ!!!!

Seriously??!! Are we still doing the "If you put this in a book, editors would take it out for being too on-the-nose" thing?!?!

[anneemay]

[chunmeista-thoughts]

Another way all of these struggles are connected, is the way media decides to automatically exonerate the perpetrators.

It is clear as day, how corporate US media decides to be complicit in the normalization of violence by deciding how it wants to cover things. The bias is in the headlines, and these are just two specific examples.

There is no way that these companies should be getting away with this. There needs to be groups of people to hold a fire to them. If nothing is done, fascists will continue to openly define how events are perceived by the general public in media.
