Hi @orbitalpirate I acted out your famous tumblr post. What do you think?

[molombo]

What does it take to make African Magic a reality?

[molombo]

What would it take to make African mythology a reality?

[molombo]

Where's the African mythology?

The Kickstarter is live now!

I know I have close to zero Tumblr fame, which I normally appreciate, but I would love it if this made it into the world and got fully backed. You can even pledge to get the digital content and send a real copy to a school in Africa or to a HBCU or community library of your choosing!

People are so much more sad, and desparate, and lonely than you think. I have had three incidents in the last four months were a technician I was working with was being either dangerously unfocused (we work with high voltage), or just flat out angry with their coworkers, and every time when I just pulled them aside to say hey, this isn't you, you're nice, and you're competent, so something must be up - what can I do to help - they have responded by bursting into tears. One guy was struggling to get his wife moved into a care home, one guy just got served divorce papers, and the other hadn't slept a wink the night before because his daughter had the pukes.

I haven't spent my whole life responding to people being rude, or stupid, or dangerous with knee jerk compassion. It's a new habit. The first time I did that as the lead for my lab, it was because the guy genuinely was so good natured that I knew something had to be off. But the other two times were just me going, alright, lets see if it always goes this well, and so far, it has. I'm almost 30, and I just figured out that the #1 reason people are shitty are because they are going through shit.

I don't think you have, like, a moral obligation to respond to people being jerks with knee jerk compassion. But it has made my life so much easier the last four months that I would recommend trying. For your own sake. Please.

(I'll step off my soapbox now. Enjoy your Sunday.)

practice soft skills. shit is going to keep getting worse for a good while before it starts getting better. we need to be making an active effort to show ppl grace and kindness and understanding now, bc were all going thru it, and maintaining community is only gonna get more and more important from here on out. this isnt optional, its a survival skill

The amount of anti-Zionist Jews that are being harassed by Zionists on this site is astounding

[tamamita]

I've seen Zionists mock Anti-Zionist Jews for celebrating various Jewish holidays without the settler colony being the center of the narrative, be inclusive to non-Jews and sometimes even dedicate certain Jewish holidays and rituals to the remembrance of the Palestinians. I've seen Zionists, both Jews and non-Jews alike, call Anti-Zionist Jews kapos, self-hating jews, racefakers, fake jews, asajew, and etc, even going so far as to tell them that they deserve to be in the Holocaust. They have no tolerance for any dissenting voices from Jews that believe the settler state is committing a genocide.

we make fun of antizionist jews celebrating jewish holidays because how tf are you celebrating passover without mentioning israel?

where do antizionist jews think the temple in the hanukkah story is located? poland?

which direction are they praying? do they think abraham just spawned in warsaw?

you can’t just rewrite thousands of years of jewish history to talk about PaLesTiNE. it’s appropriative and gross.

antizionist goyim are ignorant. antizionist jews are just stupid.

Nobody said they don't mention Israel, but I don't expect Zionists to be able to read. What do you think Israel means in the context of the Bible? The people? The land or some secular settler colony that was established at the expense of the Arab population in 1947?

where do antizionist jews think the temple in the hanukkah story is located? poland?

Using your logic, Palestine

which direction are they praying? do they think abraham just spawned in warsaw?

The direction of Palestine

you can’t just rewrite thousands of years of jewish history to talk about PaLesTiNE. it’s appropriative and gross.

The settler colonial state of Israel did not exist before 1947, people referred to the land as Palestine back then, which was more historically accurate. Even Ha'am, Herzl, Nordeau and Jabotinsky referred to it as such.

Look, I know you're trying to swing back after you got severely beaten on your own post. But don't embarrass yourself any further.

Hardest hook of my career that still resonates

[arkham]

If you're not aware DC just cancelled Red Hood completely and entirely because of Gretchen Felker-Martin's posts about you know who. They've basically wiped the solicitations for the first three issues out of existence.

And if you're in any way celebrating that, just know that this has set a very, very nasty precedent. They're not cancelling this book because you didn't like her or because you thought it was bad. They're cancelling it because she's a trans woman who's already managed to garner an unfavorable reputation among fans. And because the book is currently still being review bombed, they're going to just try to bury it. Genuinely ridiculous. I hope this permanently stains Jason's character moving forward. Lobdell wrote for Jason for seven fucking years after admitting to sexual misconduct. Fucking embarrassing.

Misusing my blog again so more people can see this then

[molombo]

Hi there!

I'm planning on backing Zairoo, but I'm wondering about how you plan to distribute the physical copies. I'm from South Africa and our mail service ranges from bad to non-existent. I'm pretty worried about the physical copy just vanishing into the mist if I go that route, so I just thought I'd check.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

For Africa we plan to DHL, FedEx, UPS to guarantee delivery

Had to do a double take when I first saw this; I thought the peel was a creature. May I gift you: pineapple dragon?

Oh, this is definitely going to blow up. I don't even have to click on the kickstarter to know it's probably already past its goal

[dreamofhircine]

Issuing a broad apology to etsy witches, now that magic is real apparently.

[dreamofhircine]

two-day delivery like they had Prime shipping.

[molombo]

Will she respond?

[molombo]

Which one had a turning point?
