Don’t let Congress censor America’s school libraries

Republicans are considering legislation that could pressure schools to remove books about LGBTQ+ people, diverse families, and other topics

If you can’t safely contact them in person, here are some other options for contacting your Congress Critters:

No one ever gave a shit when my blog dissapeared bc I was never "nuked." But I was stalked and catfished and chased off this platform so much that I felt the need to deactivate TWICE. But bc it was my choice who cares.

And now im too uncomfortable to use my old username bc twerfs would harass me for it.

I am a trans musician and this is one of the only platforms I was ever taken seriously on. And I had lost my only platform.

A lot of us are nuked, its an extreme problem. But there's so many others who are harassed and stalked until they just cant take it anymore.

God you all need to be nicer to trans women. Fuck me.

The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.

feeling this old mitski tweet so hard lately

[retroactivebakeries]

going forward, red words are considered odd numbers, unless the words were already even numbers, like five. blue words are scared of odd numbers and so will only appear in the same sentence with them if there are green words there too. green words are considered even and five. if you trap a blue word in a sentence with red words but no green words, death will result, and will be considered odd. odd numbers are divisible by purple words unless they (purple or red) are prime or it is raining. death has resulted. a prime number can eat the corpses of most red words and some others but they will be absolutely poisoned and die if they eat an even number, like five. this is how the stock market works.

its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops

[biggestzam]

The real trick is to eat seed heavy food before the speedrun starts so your first poops are halfway to agriculture already

[kaiasky]

i want you on my team holy shit

It's just weird living in a world that was at one point fully on-board with rehabilitating George W Bush, a man who famously invaded a country and started a war over absolutely nothing and resulted in instability in Iraq that still exists to this day, and yet we are going to marches called "No Kings?". girl where have you been?

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

America was so susceptible to fascist capture because we brazenly let presidents perform actual war crimes and didn't hold them accountable for it. Bush is a felon, Obama is a felon, they just will never be tried for their crimes. Almost every President commits harm and wrongdoing on a level so absolutely absurd that it dwarfs whatever they've done before.

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

Also just to be clear, "fascist capture" is a phrase that's loaded with connotations and it's not even one I subscribe to (I think America has been in a state of proto-fascism for at least four decades) but it's like. I'm so sick of the way people act like this isn't America. "There's a felon in the White House" girl there is ALWAYS a felon in the White House. A very, very bright and glaring spotlight is being shined on a fundamental truth because they've finally gotten confident enough to not feel ashamed and you are turning away from it to bury your head in the sand!!!

[kosher-salt]

that's it that's the post

[short-wooloo]

I think I know what this is talking about but I am not sure

[afurioushawk]

Jordan was carved from British Mandate Palestine, just like Israel, when it became a country in 1946, but nobody in the Free Palestine movement says it should be dismantled.

[short-wooloo]

So it is (part of) what I thought it was

Is it not also true that Jordan has and has pretty much always had a VERY large population of people who are considered/considere themselves to be Palestinians? Like a decent chunk of the country’s population, in effect making Jordan a de facto Palestinian state

[kosher-salt]

You get an A+

Jordan was in fact founded to be the Palestinian state (as much as anything could be before "Palestinian" was invented as movement identity, much less discrete and exempt culture. Palestinian meant anyone hanging out in the British Mandate, usually Jews. The other present cultures included flavors like Levantine Arab.)

It's a slight oversimplification maybe, but the reality is that in the 1940's the entire issue was not framed as it is now, which makes it especially egregious when people talk about it as if it's been Israelis vs Palestians since '48. Those just weren't the 2 involved parties, it's a major fallacy.

The wild thing about Jordan is that if everyone were being honest, if there wasn't a scam being run, is that the Israeli Palestinian conflict would hardly exist. I stand by that.

[the-orion-scribe]

To give a bit of nuance, it's also more that the British gave the land to an Arab royal family (the Hashemites) to rule over. The Hashemites did once rule over a kingdom. So it's a bit like if some Imperial power decided to allocate a piece of land for a deposed German duke family (there's many from the former Holy Roman Empire) to rule

[kosher-salt]

Yep. But if you say "hey y'all were literally installed by a colonial power" it doesn't go over well from what I hear

[kosher-salt]

@illegitimatetenenbaum I'm dragging you out of the tags because this elephant should be addressed, too

Like people want to pretend Israel has not been trying to shake these territories off for decades. They never wanted to exert control in the first place because they never wanted to be responsible for a population that doesn't seek Israeli citizenship. You know, because they aren't a colonial power. And Jordan won't take them now, under any offer (including Jordan simply annexing the West Bank.) It's established they don't want to be Israeli, and despite the free PR ignorant people do for them, the current parties in control don't want to establish a state, either. Perpetual war is probably the goal. I literally don't blame current Jordan, and concur it's not a simple answer *today.* However, peace in the region will 100% have to include their involvement.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.
