So much of the world's "riches" came from Latin America that it really makes the mind dizzy. You see all those palaces in Austria and you would think they are as far from Bolivia as possible and then you remember that the Austrian Habsburgs ruled the Spanish Empire and partook of the loot of the silver and gold from the Americas. You see the cuisine of Europe, Asia and Africa completely changed by American crops to the point that many don't even remember where they came from. Silver from Potosí found its way from China to Sweden. All the world was enriched, directly or not, while the Americas were plundered. When you really realize the scale of it, the entire line of history bends around it.

i genuinely think the lack of butch women in film is a serious problem. the fact that so many minorities get visual rep in film but butch women are conspicuously absent is something we need to talk about more

[feministyaoi-moved]

and on the exceedingly exceedingly rare occasions when butch women are in films it is only ever in Lesbian Movies. butch women cannot exist on the screen unless their sexuality is the subject. in other words: butch women cannot be shown as regular women, there’s always a statement that must be made… but sometimes we want to exist without being statements is the thing. let that woman have a buzzcut and not wear makeup and only wear masculine clothing and let it not have anything at all to do with who she is as a person and let her be in the narrative as anything other than Dyke Out Of Place

greta was time's person of the year a few years ago. she was adored by all liberal world leaders and parties. and when she learnt about people's struggle under occupation and colonialism, she stood in solidarity with them . she now stands with palestine and armenia and kashmir and every oppressed person in the world. she could have been rich as fuck by simply remaining as a climate activist. yet she chose to do the right thing. i love her for her integrity.

[guldaastan]

yes this!!

I am not in the headspace to see rich people be happy

[heedra]

it’s legitimately so fucked up and heartbreaking that in this society the ability to just like…relax and have fun with friends and loved ones is like…considered something you have to earn or make time at your own expense for. it should be regarded as one of the inalienable cornerstones of being human. i’m not joking, like the fact that having fun and chilling with your buds is considered an expendable frivolity instead of a vital core need is heartbreaking. not that capitalist society has ANY vital core needs that it’s not prepared to gate behind a monetary cost though lmao.

greta thunberg, liam cunningham, rima hassan, and everyone else on that ship, thank you, and i hope you succeed. i really hope you succeed. you know what you are risking, and i wish for you to come back safely, having done what you set out to do.

[queerstudiesnatural]

for those who don't know, the freedom fretilla, a ship headed to gaza to try and get some aid past the israeli siege, just left with among its crew swedish activist greta thunberg, irish actor liam cunningham, and french member of the european parliament rima hassan.

the ship has already been bombed twice during previous attempts at approaching gaza.

my only hope is that if we make enough noise this time, israel won't dare bomb it with such prominent international figures on board, from fear of making them martyrs and turning the rest of the world against them.

so talk about it, post about it, and expect, demand their mission to succeed and their safe return 🙏

the only power we have is political and economic pressure at this point. ethics are out of the picture when it comes to the israeli government. so we need to make it clear that bombing this ship would be a declaration of war against europe.

[amanitaphalloides]

the ship is called the madleen and it has an online tracker

you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

fiona apple is releasing a new song next week about the impact of pre-trial detention on especially Black mothers.visit lethergohome to learn about to learn about the injustices perpetrated against the 160,000 women and girls incarcerated in the united states every day and see a preview of fiona's upcoming song.

[givemearmstopraywith]

precisely because fiona has unwillingly become a poster child for certain hyperfeminine expressions of misogynstic aesthetics, i strongly encourage listeners to respect her activism and experience her music as it is intended rather than as essentially non-political media. no art is non-political, especially not fiona apple's.

[librarycards]

A preview video for those interested.

imma say something controversial but found footage horror when done by people with a gigantic budget suck. found footage horror has and will always belong to amateur horror directors with their cheap camera, friends as their actors, and some random location

someone just said i’m gatekeeping poverty 💀 from billion dollar studios ? absolutely

Anyway if nothing else matters then I hope people remember that Pope Francis used his last public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and call Israel a terrorist state:

"I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism."
