RWBY VOLUME TEN HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN GREENLIT!!!!

[honeyapplebutterfly]

If things related to Jewishness or Judaism immediately make you say Free Palestine you are an antisemite. If you cannot see a Star of David without thinking Free Palestine then you are an antisemite. That’s all there is to it. “But there’s no bad time to advocate for a free Palestine!” Yet you don’t say it on LGBTQ pride posts. You don’t say it to random Christian people. You don’t say it about random posts about disabled people. There is one and only one minority who’s existence elicits a flood of “free Palestine.”

Counting Spoons

This morning,

I open my eyes to find only seven spoons

lying in a small, dented cup by my bed.

The world asks for twenty.

One spoon — just to sit up.

To blink against the ache in my joints,

to gather my breath and convince my heart

that gravity is worth the fight.

Two more — for a shower.

Steam curling over stiff shoulders,

the heat loosening nothing,

my hands heavy as wet towels.

One — to get dressed.

It takes all the grace I have

to pull fabric over skin

that burns at a whisper of touch.

Another — for breakfast.

Lifting the mug,

stirring the spoon,

pretending the taste matters more than the exhaustion in my jaw. 

One — for a phone call.

Because words weigh more than dishes,

and smiling through pain

Keeping up appearances 

is its own kind of heavy labor.

By noon, I am out of spoons.

The day still stretches,

hungry and demanding,

but my hands hold only air.

I borrow from tomorrow.

I always borrow from tomorrow.

And tomorrow will wake me

with fewer spoons in the cup.

THIS IS NOT THE END OF STOPKILLINGGAMES

THERE'S A WAY TO BYPASS THE COMMISSION AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY WORKING ON IT

[roguesynapses]

Tldw; there is majority support in the European Parliament for a bill that would cover most of SKG's issues, and if passed this would bypass the decision of the Commission. There are also ongoing lawsuits in France and other places that would likely lead to some legislation. There is also a bill being worked on in California that wouldn't stop current games from being killed, but would stop future games from being killed

Didn't think that I'd have to post this exact comparison again, didn't even think I'd have to post it once, and yet I stand disappointed again.

On the left: a sign in German on a street in Bavaria, reading: "Jews are unwanted here." Photo taken by an American in 1937.

On the right: a message from a hotel in Bavaria, Zum Hirschen, sent to Israelis who tried to book a stay, reading: "Sorry, there are no Jews allowed in our hotel." June 2026.

Again, the incident has been "handled": Booking.com took the hotel off its platform and the hotel itself was contacted by the Israeli consulate in Munich. The hotel at first denied sending the message, but later stated that it was indeed one of its employees that sent it. It is yet unclear if the case will lead to formal proceedings.

Let me point out that one small detail. They didn't said Israelis weren't allowed, they didn't say Zionists weren't allowed. They said Jews. Now Bavarians aren't new at the scene of antisemitism, in fact they are very experienced, but nowadays, we don't say Jews when we're being discriminatory, no, we say something else. You're not supposed to say the quiet part out loud! (For those in my comments who don't understand sarcasm, that was it.)

This joins many concerning cases across Europe and the UK (not to mention the US!) that reenact the nostalgic scenes of the 1930s and 1940s. (Again, sarcasm). I haven't yet made a post about the spa in Spain that refused a Jewish woman on entry on account of her Magen David necklace. And here Europe strikes again, in the very place the Nazi party rose to power. All those woke westerners that are so proud to chant about punching Nazis, and where are you now? Aren't you ashamed? Wouldn't even recognize one if it was saluting in your face.

You know what I actually don’t think people having a mid-life crisis is a shameful thing.

I think there IS something painful that a lot if people go through at that point in their lives where they realize everything they’ve done up to that point didn’t bring them by joy they thought it would.

Now obviously I don’t think men should be divorcing and abandoning their families just so they can replace their wives with the secretary who is half their age. That’s gross and misogynistic.

But I DO empathize with people who realize they want — NEED — to make major life changes for the sake of their own mental health. I support second careers, learning a new hobby, gaining new interests! Become a painter! A musician! Get that degree you’ve always regretted not getting!

Reinvent yourself!

It’s never too late to become a happier you.

And hey, if you can afford it, buy that convertible.

[karleyn]

This is actually so scary to me. I tried so hard to reinvent myself my whole life and I’m still not quite happy with it as I rapidly approach my mid-30s. ADHD always made me fail at anything that society deems important. So I always tried to reshape myself into something better.

You mean to tell me that might get WORSE?!

Me: Okay, a lot of Europe is dealing with 40C. What's that in Fahrenheit?

It's 104. Fuck me sideways.

Like, my general rule is if it's hot to you then it's hot without qualification (none of that 'oh, well where I live it gets THIS hot' fuckery) and the exact temperature does not fucking matter. But, like, FUCK.

All the electrolytes. All of them.

[karleyn]

As I said to my coworker recently, I prefer the outside temperature to be significantly lower than the inside of my body thank you very much.

A 40°C body temperature is a pretty serious fever. Not necessarily life threatening but it can get you hospitalised.

I currently switch back and forth between an apartment directly under a south facing roof and a factory where my place of work is smack in the middle, far away from any significant opening that might let in some fresh oxygen. Both buildings are well over half a century old. And the only pleasant time in my day is my early morning commute where a short and shirt combination is very comfortable on my bike. It’s less comfortable at around 2pm after my shift.

It has to say something about how bad the situation is at work when I tell you that it’s still much more comfortable outside going from sun to shadow and back again while riding a cheap little bicycle than to stay indoors in this oven of a building.

The fact that antisemites are using the word "noticing" and "noticing patterns" as dogwhistles is annoying because I do actually notice a lot of stuff, patterns included, and one of the most obvious patterns I've noticed to date is that all antisemitic rhetoric makes no sense if you think critically about it for 5 seconds. Often less
