legit question

would it help anything to go on a hunger strike and post about it on shorts? I want to go on one in solidarity with the ICE detainees who are on one I. The Mojave. I just don’t know how to help. I can’t afford to go there and I have two toddlers so I can’t do a whole lot of traveling. Would it even do anything? Would multiple people join?

I left tumblr for over a year for my mental health. Now I’m back because where the hell else can I be loud about needing a revolution. We have to start being a thorn in the ruling class’ side.

Railway workers go on strike again 2026

it scared them so much they tried to demand you all have no rights. Fuck it all up.

[prole-my-tariat]

serious question: can we just start unplugging data centers? Like the lock picking guy has shown us most locks can be opened easily and we know they barely staff these centers. So like, unplug them? Is this anything? I’m fully ready to learn why I’m dumb, but I legit don’t understand why we aren’t doing this. We have to start being nuisances.

watching old movies and shows really just makes think like wow. . . nobody on tv looks normal anymore. like ever.

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

like obviously tv and movies have always been hot people, hollywood stars have always been hot people, but the sheer volume and standards have gone up so much overtime. everyone is a 10/10, everyone has flawless makeup and hair, everyone has the same cosmetic work done. . . it's so boring and plastic and unreal. where are the average people. where are the ugly people. where are the normal goddamn people??

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

and reality tv shows have always been fake but remember when the people on them were just. people. remember when the women on reality tv shows just looked like your aunt? remember when even the Hot People shows had people who still looked normal? what the fuck happened.

when I say we all desperately need to touch grass in regards to beauty standards what I mean is: stop scrolling tiktok, stop following ig models, stop looking at celebrities. look at your family, friends, neighbors, strangers on the beach. look at people in real life, and realize that regular, normal, average people are living good lives and having sex and falling in love and being happy. realize that average people are actually beautiful if you're not comparing them to photoshopped celebrities. the internet is fake. chill out.

One of the things about carmilla that has not been adopted into standard vampire lore and that I think is desperately ignored is the idea that a vampire falls hopelessly, devastatingly in love with every single one of their victims, but they can’t control themselves. Just one of the many things about vampires that I think is sorely tragically underutilized in most vampire stories

What we’ve gotta understand is that “the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for adults” and “the modern Internet is abolishing space for children” are compatible phenomena. Neither group is being favoured: the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for adults (i.e., because grown-up topics aren’t advertiser friendly) and the modern Internet is abolishing spaces for children (i.e., because online communities which consist principally of people who have no money are hard to sell things to). The Internet that contemporary corporate interests are trying to build isn’t a space for anyone – it’s the digital equivalent of an Ikea showroom.

Like, when I say that the greater part of contemporary social media is fundamentally hostile to human life, I’m not indulging in hyperbole or constructing an ironic metaphor. I mean that 100% literally.

also i think concerts becoming more and more of a luxury item is fucked and we shouldnt just like continue to normalize that

Vague Superman spoilers ahead but what does it say about movies lately that I was genuinely surprised that they beat the bad guys without some big catch or sacrifice. Like sure there little things and emotional ramifications but at the end of the day they won.

Lex even tried to do the whole “force the hero to make an impossible choice” thing and it didn’t work because Superman asked his friends for help!

Anyway I’m just obsessed with the theme of “Good can win. It may be hard and it may seem hopeless at times but with love and friendship and a radical determination to save as many people as you possibly can, good can win.”

The way Superman depicted complicit civilians is gonna stick with me.

Because usually when you have your villain, usually the civilians working for them are gonna be largely faceless or cowed. And then when the hero crashes the scene, only the armed goons are taken out while said civilians flee to remove any questions.

In here though, you can tell they all enjoy working for Luthor. The technicians in his hq have fun plugging in directions to Ultraman. And those in the base camp wear tropical shirts while listening to music and playing games on their downtime. Nobody is working with rigid confirmity nor are there moral reservations (the only objection shown was when his obsession almost got them killed).

So when Mr. Terrific arrived on the scene, it is actually fitting that he wiped out the workers alongside the armed goons.

Also the way Superman's fellow prisoners not only attempted to snitch on him but actually tried to out snitch each other deserves a whole other analysis.

[prole-my-tariat]

^^^ one of the main points of this movie is that no one does anything alone. Evil things do not happen via one person and good things don’t happen via one person. And, of course, choosing to do nothing in the face of evil is complicity.

[re-reclass]

Superman losing his composure only when people shrug off the lives of others. Doesn’t matter how well he knows them. Doesn’t matter if they’re even human.

He gets upset at the Justice Gang for brutally killing a rampaging Kaiju and not even attempting to find a way to move it or at least euthanize it more humanely.

The only time he raises his voice during Lois’ interview is when she digs into his interference in geopolitics, because people would have died if he hadn’t acted. The only time he yells at Luthor is when Luthor abducts Krypto. The only time he cries is when Luthor murders someone he barely even knew.

He saves a fucking squirrel for god’s sake. We’re so back.

clark shouting "people were going to DIE" in the face of the "think of the consequences of your actions" argument is so fucking important to me bc it really IS that simple you can't look at a genocide and just twiddle your thumbs bc you're a afraid of the consequences ESPECIALLY when you can do something about it and THATS WHAT CLARK DID. WITHOUT HESITATION. WITHOUT CONSIDERING HOW IT COULD HURT HIM. bc hes a good person and in his brain its really just people were going to die so i had to step in bc what else would it be. superman i love you i love you i love you

[fandumb-thoughts]

Only one person died. Only one singular person. In a superhero movie! The type that love to throw around casualty counts like it’s all a big game, waving off 70 people being killed in a handful of days like it’s no big deal, yet only ONE PERSON died.

And he was mourned. Superman cried for him—this stranger who gave him free falafel and, while facing death, told him that he still believed in him. Metamorpho, this cold-seeming man who is being actively blackmailed to do this, breaking down and taking the risk to believe in Superman, too, because seeing someone murdered right in front of him is devastating enough to take the risk. The newspapers run a front page article talking about how they’re going to memorialize him.

The stakes didn’t have to involve real actual loss of life. The threat of it was enough to convey the severity of the situation. Because human life is that important. All life is that important, at least to Superman who goes out of his way to save dogs and squirrels.

(Hawkgirl does kill SHEIN Netanyahu but genocidal dictators don’t count as human beings lol.)
