humans will see a swamp and build a city on it and then spend the next 2,000+ years struggling to keep it from turning back into a swamp

I haven’t been on this app in a while, but I know a Black man, Keith Porter, was murdered by ICE on New Year’s Eve (Rest in Power) in Cali. Just one of the countless Black people who’ve been murdered by ICE and other agents of the state.

I log back into this app and see the conversations around the white woman, Renee Good, who was just recently killed. And I can’t help but notice the stark difference in circulation of news and boosting of stories between both of them across this app…

Shit has BEEN happening to Black people across administrations and is currently happening to Black people under this administration, and is met by crickets. Yet when it starts touching white people, I see real anger start being felt from the gen pop followed by amplification and co-opting of Black terms and memorialization… I stg it takes everything in me to give af about yall.

Superman isn't woke. You're just so evil that you see a man doing acts of kindness and you think it's a targeted political agenda

Do people just, like, make playlists anymore? Or is it all just shitty screenshots of Spotify playlists? Or links to Spotify playlists?

Whatever happened to things like this:

Song title // artist

Relevant verse or lyrics here

And a blurb for context?

Man, I miss 2005-2015 fandom/music culture.

excuse me for stating the obvious but like. james gunn outright calling superman an immigrant and doubling down on it when he got backlash (because he IS an immigrant, that's the point of superman) + the in-movie dialogue of "aren't you going to read me my rights?" "you're an extraterrestrial, son. you haven't got any rights to read." + the violence of his arrest and how they torture and mistreat him unapologetically, all under the guise of "protecting america", in a film releasing during the onslaught of violent ICE kidnappings and abuse... yeah it's really no wonder right-wing knobheads are crying about this being woke. they're being forced to look directly at the reasons one of the most well-known and beloved heroes of all time would not be on their side. and that's only ONE of the reasons this movie covers

i don’t like talking with people about emotional stuff because then they learn things about me and get to know me and can defeat me

Isn’t it weird that in 20 years you are going to be a completely different person then you are right now. A different house, different friends hopefully faster wifi.

Image: A drawing of hand-lettered words over a portrait of Leslie Feinberg: “My right to be me is tied with a thousand threads to your right to be you.”

Feinberg -- dyke, transgender, organizer -- used the pronouns ze and hir, and described zirself as an "anti-racist white, working-class, secular Jewish, transgender, lesbian, female, revolutionary communist."

Ze didn’t just see the world differently -- ze could articulate it. That clarity shaped how I understand gender, queerness, and the long arc of queer resistance in this place. Feinberg’s writing cracked things open for me.

I think I drew this on November 15, the anniversary of Feinberg’s death in 2014. Sending it out next month, in July, as a belated Pride reward for Print Club. Because queer history is always relevant. Because Feinberg is forever.

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?
