Jonesin For Josie

I have been called catty, kind of a cunt, a bitch, rude, condescending, arrogant, insufferable, incorrigible, and Josie.

Pretty dystopian to be campaigning for fundraisers to save the lives of your countrymen trying to survive genocide and the top trending topics on Tumblr is the most recent zionism and fascism American military industrial complex propaganda movie.

[el-shab-hussein]

Also I don't think it's a coincidence the zionist producer teamed up with the shoot and cry propaganda character played by this guy:

To make a movie about how AI mass surveillance tech is good for society actually because it helps you eliminate the inhuman subversives.

[el-shab-hussein]

My bestie told me people are calling him Palantir Parker right now on Twitter cuz of the movie.

[el-shab-hussein]

Anyways Disney is a priority boycott target for the BDS movement! Don't watch any more Marvel movie trash, the MCU has been collaborating with the Pentagon to make Western imperialist propaganda since Iron Man 2008!

If you were going to spend money on tickets to see the movie, go send that money to Mona's mutual aid fund instead to help feed Palestinian refugees today! Your outrage should be translating into concrete actions to help Palestinians!

I'm gonna be honest 'cowboys were a sort of itinerant warrior class common in meiji-era texas' always annoys me a bit because it's a funny post but also No They Weren't. They were an itinerant pastoralist class common in Meiji-era Texas. And indeed the wider western region of post-Risorgimento America

the thing about copyright abolition is that. what makes theft bad is that something is taken away from its rightful owner. in this sense, copyright infringement is literally not theft, because making a copy of something doesn't tangibly cause the original owner to lose anything that they would otherwise have. copyright enforcement, on the other hand, does take away people's access to what should be theirs. anyone who makes art while employed by a corporation and is unable to sell their work because it does not belong to them, anyone who's been sued by a pop musician for making music that sounds vaguely similar if you don't allow the jury to listen to the actual songs, these people have far more in common with victims of theft than anyone whose copyright has been infringed

like the thing with the film rights to MLK's speeches being owned by spielberg / dreamworks, that's not actually an instance where copyright law failed to protect artists. that's the system working as intended. MLK's speeches were his intellectual property. when he died the rights to that intellectual property transfered to his family, and his family decided to sell those rights to dreamworks, thereby functionally preventing anyone else from legally using those speeches in a film for the next several decades. no crime was committed, nobody was tricked into anything, that's just how intellectual property rights work

[dragongirlsweetie]

the thing is that some of the most brazen and clear-cut cases of art theft—cases in which an artwork is actually, concretely taken from the creator—are not only not stopped by copyright law, but actively enabled by it (think tupac, disco elysium, record labels who own a cover of a song copyright striking works with the original, etc.)

Not gonna lie this makes me a bit irritated. Here's the real version of this photo:

Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."

It wasn't a guy being cheeky about sex in an ambiguous, cute way. It was a man stating, in no uncertain terms, that a whole state of the United States considered him a criminal for being homosexual.

[werewolf-transgenderism]

only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for

[werewolf-transgenderism]

there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs

[werewolf-transgenderism]

I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows

[werewolf-transgenderism]

GUYS amphibian species of the world is still at 7,994 species of frog BUT amphibiaweb is at 8,008 species of frog, and do you know who is a co-author on the 8,000th species of frog there???? TUMBLR'S OWN FROG SCIENTIST DR SCHERZ

[gumy-shark]

blorbo from my shows helping me change my patterns for the healthier but in a reverse way

[gumy-shark]

”blorbo would want you to eat healthier/have a better sleep schedule/whatever”: yeah they’re not the only one

“blorbo would do this. blorbo would think these patterns are normal and healthy. blorbo would also fall into this exact self-loathing spiral over not being able to change”: I NEED TO GET BETTER NOW

[redstonedust]

it bothers me when someone brings up misogyny in shounen anime and people shrug it off with "its designed for teenage boys, what can you expect." like well. idk i think its actually pretty important that shows for teenage boys are normal about women. i mean i think all media should be normal about women but teenagers are impressionable i think we could put a little bit of feminism in the teenage boy shows. it might do some good. you never know.

[anton--rayne]

this is so funny sorry

[anton--rayne]

theyre pointing a gun to those poor Body Positive animators heads

[smokeys-house]

So how much longer are we gonna pretend "higher than normal call volume" is a thing that exists. I think its normal call volume actually and you just arent hiring enough people. I think if you experience higher than normal for a very long time its no longer higher than normal its just normal and youve failed to adjust accordingly

[librarycards]

just got kicked out of the omelas DEI office for asking why there are no former torture kids on the board

[librarycards]

they told me they had a "lived experience" subcommittee but it was just the torture kids' parents. tf.

[number1mongrel]

"You hear that? They're saying The Odyssey doesn't even have nobody!"

"They've got nobody in the Odyssey?"

"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."

"Nobody's there?"

"Nobody's not there!"

"So everyone's there?"

"Everybody but nobody!"

[c4zer]

oh ok

[hyenaswine]

(was trying to look up the meaning of a hanky position)

[c4zer]

oh ok

[pleuvoire]

it kills me because in anti-piracy discourse people will so often be like "okay yeah people in the global south can't afford books but i'm talking about people in rich countries who CAN afford them obviouslyyyy" well those people in the global south are getting arrested by the companies and policies you're caping for so i'm afraid you can't just wave away such a big chunk of the picture

[rpfwasfine]

it takes 10 layers of the water filter to completely drown a tumblr screenshot if anyone was wondering

[the-joju-experience]

I mean, I guess there's always the inherent eroticism of the sea
