How it feels to not argue with idiots on Tumblr
Interview With The Vampire (2022)
I refuse to concede America and what it can be and what we still have.
250 years of American history. Jewish Americans were there for all of it, as immigrants, soldiers, artists, and activists. Here's a small piece of that story.
Unpacked Media
by Anita Austvika
I love a werewolf movie but I do NOT love bottomless clips! Frenzy Moon would've been better without the bottomless clips, like it's not terrible at being some tension going and the creature effects are pretty ambitious for how low the budget is.
Whatttt is with the tendency of Tumblr users to seek absolution from every single person who offhandedly posts about disagreeing with something they do
I say this not unkindly, but firmly: to function as a member of a social species, you have to get comfortable with the idea that not everyone will like you
as a non american i gotta say it i fucking hate those posts that are all like. "noooo why would i do anything on fourth of july fuck fascist america"
you get to barbeque, eat good food, do fireworks and sparklers, dress in unnecessarily patriotic clothes, and most of all, make fun of the british. why would you want to just sit at home moping about america being bad when you could be doing all that? idkidk seems kinda stupid to me.
(also i hate this notion that celebrating your country is an inherently right wing thing to do, therefore playing into right wing rhetoric that all leftists hate and want to destroy the country they are in)
It's also very suburban quasi-woke to me. If you're in a big city, you'll see tons of different groups of folks celebrating the Fourth and realize that this holiday means too many things to too many people to just be dismissed because "America bad."
I loved going to Prospect Park in Brooklyn as a kid and seeing Hasidic families eat kosher hot dogs right next to halal barbeque pits. I loved hearing people speaking Yiddish, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Spanish, and English in one space, all celebrating side by side.
Every year, the Fourth has meant everything from celebrating that my family was granted refuge in early 1900's Brooklyn to my cousin recently being granted US citizenship.
Like, if people who think they're being righteous had any recent immigrant friends or family at all, they would know that people who just came here really don't want to hear griping about a perfectly good holiday.
& Even when I lived in Japan, it was so much fun to gather my two (2) American friends and go to the one (1) place in my town that sold American-style beef hot dogs (it was literally a vendor in an old samurai house) and then set off sparklers by the riverside.
It's a nice holiday!
And when I was a very earnest kid and cared a lot about history, I would personally read stuff like Frederick Douglass's "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" and Born on the Fourth of July during the day, then go set off fireworks and eat watermelon at night. My mom spent yesterday morning watching a bummer documentary about Project 2025 and urging all her boomer friends to vote, and then she chowed down on a burger. You can/should do both!!
P.S. The fake idea that Americans don't have culture? This is our culture!!
P.P.S. It makes me think about how Muslims fasting during Ramadan is a communal event; it's considered better to break the fast with company than alone (ditto for fasting in Judaism). For a month each year, almost 2 billion people around the world are united by that fasting.
By contrast, Lent for Catholics, at least in the US, is much more of an individualistic self-improvement project.
There's not a lot of value placed on community in general in the West.
So for folks who complain about fireworks: I get it, but it's also important to acknowledge that there is something cool and lovely about being able to *hear* (and see), for just a handful of hours each year, that we're all doing the same thing at the same time all across the country. That we a hundreds of millions but we are also a shared society.

Grammy, Emmy, Oscar, and Tony award-winner @barbrastreisand started out with nothing. No money, no encouragement, no real direction. But she’d find opportunities and take them with gusto, until her big moment finally came. And when it did, she owned it with strategy and confidence that allowed her to build her empire, brick by brick.

The amount of people calling Scott Weiner an "AIPAC centrist" when he takes literally zero money from them should tell you exactly what people mean when they talk about AIPAC. It should tell you exactly what Mamdani meant.
i desperately need a situation where i can use this clip
