i dislike the whole “horror is so back” narrative people are throwing around recently with obsession and backrooms. both are great movies, but horror was also so back with the long walk. and sinners. and the substance. and nosferatu. and literally anything directed by jordan peele. horror as a genre will always have its flops. but there will always be those few that revive the hype.

“israel” and “the US” are so obviously involved in what’s happening in Ceuta with the full approval and help of the Moroccan government and people are claiming it’s conspiracy theory land to think they are all involved…

They both immediately jumped on what’s happening to blame Spain’s “far left policies” (White house words) and Spain’s “hypocritical support for Palestine” (“israel” words). And every single time “the US” or any overly Zionist country gets closer to Morocco, the Moroccan government uses immigrants as a tool against Spain. Every time Spain does so much as look the wrong way at Morocco regarding Western Sahara or at the Zionist entity or the occupiers of Turtle Island they almost always suddenly get a massive influx of young Moroccans at the border at Ceuta… this time there’s even videos of Moroccans cops supervising truck filled with young men to empty them at the border…

This shit is being called an invasion in national mainstream media around Europe. We're seeing these neonazi politicians respond to it in unison disapproval, using the same white supremacist rhetoric across the board. This is so clearly being weaponised in the most dishonest way by a united far-right front, especially when we -know- the US has been doing foreign interference for as long as it's existed more or less.

Just last week Morocco was thanking Trump and naming a highway in occupied Western Sahara after Trump and now this… meanwhile pro Makhzen people are saying that seeing any ties between all these things and saying the Makhzen is an accomplice to this is just a conspiracy

Happy Emancipation Day! August 1st in most of the Commonwealth. Some countries celebrate it on the first Monday/Tuesday.

It's celebrated all over the Caribbean and sometimes in different names, but it should be more well known!!

Outsiders are not not saving a language by learning it.

While I’m personally grateful services like Tribalingual exist, creating some academic access to Indigenous languages, particularly for Indigenous diaspora (if they can afford it), I’m extremely dubious of the notion that a outsiders learning an Indigenous language is somehow “saving” it. There was a testimonial from some white American girl learning Ainu itak, and she spoke of it as if she were collecting some rare Pokemon card before it went out of print or something, framing it in typical dying Native rhetoric. What is she going to do with Ainu itak, except as some obscure lingual trophy?

If you want to save a language, save the people.

Language means nothing without history and culture breathing life into it, and in turn we are disconnected from our history and ancestors without it. Support Indigenous quality of life, ACCESS to quality education, quality health services (mental and physical), land and subsistence rights, CLEAN DRINKING WATER, advocate against police brutality and state violence, DEMAND ACTION FOR MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN.

Damn, if you really want to “save the language” pay for an Indigenous person’s classes for them to reconnect to their mother tongues. I’m not saying outsiders shouldn’t learn languages they’re invited to learn, but don’t pretend like you learning conversational Ainu itak is saving it from extinction.

In the 19th century, Americans idealized wilderness, which they defined as natural areas without people in them. The issue with this, of course, was that the “wilderness” areas that they wanted to turn into national parks had people in them.

So what was it like for the people who lived in these “wildernesses,” what happened to them, and what evidence is left of their lives?

Sorry, what did these people do to provoke the attack other than be from Israel?

The “Taking a break from genocide?” comment was made by the people attacking the Israeli tourists, not by the tourists themselves, and the assailants went on to say the following:

Afaik these comments were thrown and attacks were made based solely on the nationalities of the people attacked. Why on earth is this worth celebrating?

hagiomoto

It is worth celebrating because Israelis don't deserve peaceful life after committing genocide, you dipshit

Please won't somebody think about the baby killers' right to vacation peacefully.

They just spent the last 1000 days killing babies and could really use a beach vacation.

In 2026, Israel sees net immigration of 13,023 people, with more arriving than leaving. As of 2024, the foreign-born population stood at around 2.1 million, about 22% of the total. Since 1950, it has gained a cumulative 2.3 million people through migration.

– Israel Migration Statistics (2026) from MeasuredWorld

Not even counting 2nd or 3rd generation Israelis, a shit-ton of Israelis are migrants due to them wanting to partake in the apartheid and genocide Israel is carrying out. Also, a lot of these people could probably pass as anything else because they likely have European or American roots, but they can't help being racist.

Oh God Oh God Oh God The doctor told me words that broke my heart: "If your wife does not receive urgent treatment, we may lose her." She urgently needs two units of blood and treatment that cannot be delayed. Every minute that passes while I stand helpless beside her feels heavier than the one before. Save my wife. Save the mother of my daughters. I stood beside her hospital bed feeling like the ground had disappeared beneath me. I cannot bear the thought of my daughters losing their mother, or losing the woman I love because I could not provide the treatment she needs. At the moment my wife needs help the most, I cannot access the funds from our previous fundraiser, so we were forced to create a new campaign. I am begging you as a husband who is terrified of losing his wife... Please help us before it is too late. Donate or share our Chuffed campaign:

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

"They spent hundreds of years trying to assimilate my ancestors, trying to create indians like me, who could blend in, but now they don’t want me either. They can’t make up their minds.

They want buckskin and face paint, drumming, songs in languages they can’t understand recorded for them but with English subtitles, of course. They want educated, well spoken, but not too smart. Christian, well behaved, never question. They want to learn the history of the people, but not the ones that are here now, waving signs in their faces, asking them for clean drinking water, asking them why their women are going missing, asking them why their land is being ruined.

They want fantastical stories of Indians that used to roam this land. They want my culture behind glass in a museum.

But they don’t want me." -Shelby Lisk

i cant believe that with all the voting reform that's happened in this country this place still blindly accepts the electoral college. that shit wouldn't be here without the 3/5ths Clause, which wouldn't be a thing without slavery. but everyone wants to call this place a democracy while also fearing "tyranny of the majority" from a proper democracy. the electoral college should be abolished.

well actually i can believe it (racism, duh). its just so plainly stupid.

also, google is free, but pick up a textbook every once in awhile. Find articles written by POC and keep up to date with how you can be a better ally. I took a black feminist theory class in college…taught by two white women.

You heard me right. Two. White. Women.

Which is fucking insane in itself, but on the first day of class one of the professors was reading an article, written by a black woman…and decided that it was completely acceptable and appropriate to drop the n-word (hard r) and every single person in class was fucking MORTIFIED. Even in the context of education, there was no reason for a white professor to so casually and subtly use that word. (They were called out for it immediately after and profusely apologized)

My point is that covert racism is still racism, and unfortunately it is alive and well.

I also have all of the articles and works saved from this class if anyone would like to do some heavy and necessary reading! I have hard copies, but I’m sure I can find the links for the articles as well.

Just after doing a little research on google, I found these articles to be incredibly helpful on breaking down covert racism, racism, white privilege, etc.

covert racism

systematic racism

racism and health

becoming trustworthy white allies

what is white privilege

books on systematic racism, racial justice, and anti-racism

race equity tools

Bottom line, white people have no excuse to not stand up for BIPOC. There is no excuse for racism. There is no tolerance, and we have to do better. I firmly believe that the first step in becoming a better ally is to educate yourself.

Finding out AI companies are chewing through - literally, they’re pulping and burning them as they go - millions of books often including 1/1s and old texts that cannot be reprinted

Meanwhile there’s always some dipshit telling me AI is the future and we’ve got to just let companies erase human history and literature so they can train their abomination machines to pretend to think like people because a judge said it’s fine

AI companies are buying and scanning printed books for training data, raising copyright and cultural preservation concerns as rare volumes a

sophiemars

TLDR: company is bulk buying millions of books - including really old/rare/unique ones - to train AI. But in order to scan them quickly, they cut the spine out and trim the pages, effectively destroying these books, and then "recycle" the remains. A judge says it's legal. The company knows it's unethical and actively tried to hide the practice. None of the scanned copies are available to the public.

I need you young people to know it was almost never this hot when I was a child. Millennials and Gen Xers are all nostalgic and excited about summer because it was about ten to twenty degrees cooler to experience it back then!

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.

But any time you wonder wtf the weather is doing- THIS IS NOT NORMAL, NO. THIS IS NOT WHAT IT WAS EVEN TWENTY YEARS AGO.

In summary. I will never regret that for a small moment in history, a dark skinned Black African woman with 4C coils got to be known as the most beautiful woman in the world. I will NEVER regret that!!! But because Black women can't have anything nice, of course everyone had to go and ruin it, including this latest attempt at a retelling out of hundreds of thousands over three millennia.

At this point I need the most accurate telling of this story to be a full Black cast. Just to piss everyone off. I'd want it to be true to both books, so no one could complain about "that's not what happened!" And all they can do is show their racist asses because there's only One Problem they can see with it.

Would you have any particular preferences for the directors/writers, other than that they also be Black? That is, is there a certain director or production team that you think would really nail the material?

creatingblackcharacters

Honestly, somebody call Ryan Coogler and Ava Duvernay. I feel like between their writing, directing, and pool of Black creative contacts, we'd end up with the most phenomenally written, acted, and dressed version of these stories yet. If Chadwick were still alive, we'd never see a better Odysseus.

My mother didn't have a choice in being a refugee, she was the daughter of a genocide survivor, and frankly she was a genocide survivor herself. She moved her entire family to the imperial core. I can both be a genocide survivor, a victim of the Western empire, and also be a beneficiary of it by becoming a citizen of the Western empire, with a Western passport, a Western citizenship, access to the resources only available through Western plunder of the Third World which includes both of my home countries. My income is funding the bombing of my friend's little brother's school. My income is funding the genocides of Palestine and Lebanon that is killing many of my friends and their loved ones in Ghazzah. And on my own I can't fucking stop this slaughter. This isn't a privilege I would ever fucking deny but the fact that I see this stupid fucking discourse on the daily is driving me fucking insane. You can claim to be 'anti-imperialist' all you want but denying these basic fucking facts makes you an imperialist. Stop making your cognitive dissonance the problem of the Third World and be better than this. There is no free Palestine if this continues, if you all continue to deny the part everyone in the imperial core plays in benefitting from genocide and plunders the world over.

I am both a victim of imperialism and one of its beneficiaries by virtue of being embedded in the imperial core, REGARDLESS of the fact my rights are far lower than the most privileged subclass of the imperial core. It is clear however that a lot of you have yet to understand this is possible and to understand your own position as an individual within global material relations.

el-shab-hussein

The reality is my friends are being bombed with the full force of the Western imperial arsenal EVERY SINGLE DAY and I'm not. That is a privilege I wouldn't have if I wasn't in the imperial core.

If being in the imperial core wasn't such a massive improvement in living conditions we wouldn't be dying by the millions every year in our countries and we certainly wouldn't be dying by the millions just to work under the table for less than minimum wage to serve you when we make it to the imperial core.
