as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.

honestly tho if joanne eats it in the next five to ten years the cultural reaction is going to be insufferable. everyone who has barely been able to hide their rabid obsession with the racist dogshit books is going to go “oh cool i can openly be into h*rry p*tter again” and any criticism of this stance will become grounds for mass harassment.

so i’m gonna put it out there ahead of time.

hp should be eradicated from cultural significance forever. everything that woman has done completely tarnishes whatever legacy may exist for them and the tangible damage she has done to trans people both legally and in cultural discussions enormously outweighs whatever joy the books might have personally given someone. we are not waiting for her to no longer profit from the ip or for her direct ability to cause harm to cease. that shit is done forever. if you go back to openly celebrating those works, you have less moral backbone than pudding.

Fuck it at this point can y’all actually start supporting indie animation and indie games made by black artists/creators because I’m really getting sick and tired of everyone hyping these racist phase mediocre white people that get 90% of their humor from 2000s newgrounds animations

[tech-obsessed-shark]

For the people asking “How am I supposed to find them?” Look them up, it’s that easy.

Here is an entire youtube playlist by Mannof1000Thoughts with a ton of indie animation videos AND a livestream he did where he watched some with the creators!!!

I beg your sweet fucking pardon

i think for this trans day of visibility, everyone should not just say the same vapid platitudes and instead give trans women money or if you cannot give trans women money actually read some transfeminist literature. actually everyone read transfeminist literature. yes including trans men. yes including trans women who have not read up on it yet

[juniepuppie]

here are some that are in my opinion essential readings:

everyone talks about Whipping Girl and it is for good reason. i would consider it to be Transmisogyny 101. just the basics of how transmisogyny functions and how it impacts society. although it is written by a white trans woman thus lacks perspective on the experiences of trans women of color, so keep that in mind.

Hot Allostatic Load is also talked about a lot as a detailing of how trans women are ostracized from communities, which again i agree is a fair assessment of the work. it does describe this unfortunately very common occurrence well. the author details how trans women are pushed out of spaces and how this effects them through the lens as one who had that happen to her.

decolonizing trans/gender 101 is a critique on a specific publication (entitled Transgender 101: A simple guide to a complex issue) that claimed to be an "introduction" to transgender and detail the full history of it, but that it does discuss colonialism or race at all which is quite frankly, a very vital thing to discuss when describing trans history that this publication and many other writings fail to touch upon. it then goes on to make up for this by discussing colonialism and race in relation to the trans community.

this is all i can think of off the top of my head, i may be forgetting some. please feel free to suggest more

I started reading The Wild Robot because I liked the movie, there are more books, and my brain is soup and I need something easy to read.

I love this run

Also this

Water Lilies painted by Claude Monet (1840 - 1926)

[ripplespate]

Fun fact about Monet and these series of paintings, he ends up shifting the brightest highlights to yellow and darkest shadows to reds and then back to normal again in the end as you can see.

It’s because he had a cataract forming late into his career, and then got it surgically fixed! Cataracts often shift a persons perception of colour and will dim light reaching your retina with a yellowish tinge, so the more you know

I think it's a shame that "Oedipus complex" refers to fucking your mom instead of the actual point of his story, fulfilling your destiny through your attempts to avoid it. It just so happens his destiny was to fuck his mom

[charyou-tree]

Yeah, I don’t know what Freud was thinking, but Oedipus very much did Not want to fuck his mom. He spent the entire play trying to avoid that, and then gauged out his eyes when he learned that he had anyway.

[lachonk]

I think Freud was too caught up with the fantasy of fucking his mom to appreciate the themes of the story tbh

[kt--extinction]

What I really want is a bait-and-switch "ancient aliens" documentary that starts generically with the narrator ponderously asking questions out loud over pictures of hieroglyphs with filters then the rest of the documentary is entirely intricately tracing out the racist roots of the conspiracy theory.
