Okay..? My first attempt at simple animation? I'll just post it for the experiment...┐⁠(⁠‘⁠～⁠`⁠;⁠)⁠┌

I've had the image of a Huntress Wizard, in the form of a centaur (or rather, a deer?), in my head for a very long time. And here she is! Finally. Sticking to one palette is quite difficult, but it's an interesting experience ୧⁠(⁠＾⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠＾⁠)⁠୨

(Not so) Hot Take

if the only jews you listen to are ones who give you a get-out-of-antisemitism-free card for either…

1. Hating 90% of Jews

2. Calling for the death/displacement of 50% of jews

3. Calling for the destruction of the only jewish state on earth, which is located in the jewish homeland?

…you don't actually "listen to jews.”

Stop acting like you do.

[funkopersonal]

Adding on:

If you hate 50-90% of Jews because they either...

1️. Were born in Israel

or

2. Believe that Jews have the right to self-determination in their indigenous homeland (which is what zionism is, what you've been calling zionism is actually kahanism: a radical minority stance)

...you don't actually "support Jewish people."

Stop claiming you do.

I don’t quite know how to reblog prevs tags but @moran-with-a-g made a very important addition everyone should take a look at the tags they added to this post!!!

ran gvili, the last hostage in the gaza strip, was identified and returned home for burial.

for the first time since 2014, there are no hostages - living or dead, israeli or foreign - in the gaza strip.

ran was a police officer. on october 7th, he was home in meitar with a broken shoulder, waiting for surgery on his injury scheduled for two days later. when news of hamas' invasion first broke, ran couldn't let his friends fight on their own. he volunteered, on his own accord, to go out to the field and help fight off the invaders.

ran took part in the fighting near kibbutz alumim, and then at sa'ad junction, where he helped save the lives of dozens of survivors from the nova massacre. after rescuing those people, he went back to fight near kibbutz alumim.

ran was severely injured from gunfire, but kept fighting. his last text message was sent in 10:39. he fought until he ran out of ammo, killing 14 terrorists, whose bodies were found around his last hiding place. it is estimated that ran was kidnapped around 11:00. he was severely injured, and was either kidnapped dead, or kidnapped alive and died shortly after his kidnapping. he was 24 years old.

today, after 843 days in captivity, ran's body was finally identified, buried in a cemetery in the gaza strip. the first to go out to the field, the last to return - ran is finally back home.

Anyway child marriage is not legal in Israel. It is under Hamas and the Houthis. There is no minimum age requirement for marriage in Yemen or the Gaza Strip. So maybe the pro-axis of resistance crowd could do some introspection before accusing all Zionists of secretly being pedophiles.

I wouldn’t hold my breath tho.

Some people have twisted themselves so far up in knots over Jeffery Epstein as a standard representative of the Zionist elite controlling Israel and the United States (and yes, Jeffery Epstein is disgusting, and it is worrying that his money bought him freedom from the consequences of his actions for a period of time) that they don’t realize that the organizations (Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah) that they support throughout the Middle East allow millions of people like Jeffery Epstein to operate with total impunity because they refuse to pass any laws against child marriage.

If you want to rape a girl in Houthi controlled Yemen, all you have to do is make a deal with her father. This is done publicly and with the full backing of the law. There is no legal recourse for the child and no threat of jail time for the man. 1 in 10 women in Yemen between the ages of 20 and 24 was forced to marry before her 15th birthday.

If you care about Epstein’s victims, you need to be centering the issue of children facing sexual abuse. This is not the time to tell everyone about your pet conspiracy theory while patting yourself on the back for supporting terrorist groups that promote pedophilia.

"Malcolm X is called antisemitic because he was antizionist!!" Um no actually Malcolm X is called antisemitic because he made the Protocols of the Elders of Zion required reading for Nation of Islam members, worked with both the American Nazi Party and the actual KKK to support forced race separation and promote the idea that Jews are behind race mixing, and claimed that God told the Jews that one day he'd destroy the white race and that today's Jews are white people who stole the identity of the original black Jews to try to avoid being annihilated by God and that they killed Jesus to stall on the godly genocide of the white race and that Elijah Mohammed, leader of the Nation of Islam, found out their secret and that's why the Jews and the Nation of Islam are enemies.

That's why he's called antisemitic.

Leftists when they realize that unlearning colonial ideas means deconstructing their antisemitism as well:

one day goyim will stop calling mizrahim arabs (deeply offensive considering they've tried to exterminate us & collaborated with hitler to do so) & using us against other minhagim to dispute israel being the jewish homeland. i am a Very Pale mizrahi, there are absolutely ashkenazim & sephardim that are darker than me. don't apply your weird social racial dynamics to us.

[lyraeon]

not to be mistaken for toxic positivity again but my god you need to learn to love the oppressed more than you hate their oppressors or else you are just delighting in feeling righteous while leaving those in need out in the cold

[nolookfirmino-deactivated201904]

do men have resting bitch faces as well or do they not have negative characteristics ascribed to them for putting on a neutral rather than a deliriously happy facial expression

[12yearsaking-deactivated2015081]

Yes, Black men in majority white spaces do. If I don’t smile every single second of the day my coworkers become in intimidated and start asking me what’s wrong, telling me to smile, make jokes about how I’m trying to be a thug/act hard, why am I angry, etc. And it’s not just white men at my job God FORBID I my large Black ass makes a white girl feel threaten because I’m sitting down with a neutral expression.

I’m not trying to take this post away from women and make it about Black men but I want to point out that wether it’s patriarchy or white supremacy; those who feel as if they have power over you HATE to see you not smile. They are so used to people like you smiling to gain their approval that when you don’t there’s a cognitive dissonance that makes them extremely uncomfortable.

That’s why “angry Black women” is a thing. They have to put on a smile for everyone (yes even feminist white women) or we all get uncomfortable.

[naamahdarling]

This is such an amazing response.

[prismatic-bell]

I’ve seen Natives accused of it, as well. All genders.

Perhaps what we should get from this is that only white men have the luxury of neutral faces.

Sudan is an odd case because RSF is Arab supremacist paramilitary group doing its best attempt at genocide, but the armed group opposing them (the SAF) is backed by Iran, China, North Korea, and Turkey (and formerly Russia, which now supports the RSF).

So get ready to see a bunch of social media accounts that usually are really into secular Arab nationalism come out very strongly against the RSF.
