Netanyahu and his entire regime need to face trial in The Hague. They are genocidal murderers.

The New American Gothic (2017) by Criselda Vasquez

[technofeudalism]

“As the American-born daughter of two Mexican immigrants, I illustrate their plight and the plight of many in my community with my art. I want to expose the heart-breaking pain of what a Mexican immigrant’s family goes through. I focus on bringing my family’s world into the light and out of the shadows. My paintings are best described as visual comments on the hidden daily reality of the Mexican-American experience. These portraits and still lifes reveal my family in their own authentic environment and expose how I live in two worlds. My paintings layer the American culture over the Mexican world. I feel society needs to be aware of the humanity on the other side of the door. The two most important people in my life, my parents, are also the two who motivated me to develop such a strong concept. When my parents pose for these paintings, their faces are reduced to extremely raw and somehow vulnerable expressions. Sadly, they strive to be invisible every day. They don’t have to pretend to illustrate the invisible. They have dealt with constant rejection, suspicion and fear so long, that it seems now that it comes naturally to them. I strive to capture how their expressions deliver that sense of tiredness, resignation, and quiet acceptance. It seems relevant to show that underneath all the politicization and underserved labeling this community receives, these are regular people just like all of us. In the long tradition of immigrants that come to the United States, they have made homes here and they are just trying to live a simple life with a bit of security and hopefulness for their children.” — Criselda Vasquez

"they should teach media literacy in schools" english class "they should teach students how to spot misinformation" it's english class "they should teach kids critical thinking" it's called english class

[technofeudalism]

not really sure what else to say at this point. these opinions being platformed in the mainstream media is just so catastrophic for the way that people view minorities in this already extremely racist-by-nature country. gasoline on a bonfire.

Pre-chopped fruits and veggies make it possible for so many people with various disabilities to prepare healthy meals and maintain their energy.

Thank you, OP.

I stopped being able to slice or grate cheese in any quantity a decade and a half ago. Too hard on my hands, my spine, my hips, plus the clean up. I can make an entire warm sandwich in 5-7 minutes with pre-sliced cheese. I can prep all kinds of things in a few minutes with pre-grated cheese.

Quality pre-prepped cheese is huge for me.

I'm not lazy: my hands don't work well; I'm in pain.

and while we're at it, if it makes the depressed and dysfunctional guy eat fruits more often, then it's a fucking win. if it makes the adhd adult who's barely able to focus on making pasta eat salad more often, then it's a fucking win. if it makes the procrastinating college kid who lives on instant ramen and energy drinks munch on some pre-cut carrots while they do their homework, it's a fucking win.

some people physically can't prepare their own salad, and they need a product that can help them with that. but there are also a large amount of non-disabled people who this product is going to help, not because it makes the process possible, but because it makes it easier.

so what if it's lazy? why does everyone have to work extra hard all the time for their health? have you never had your partner prepare dinner for you? have you never ordered takeout because you were too tired to make yourself lunch? if it makes more people eat vegetables where they otherwise wouldn't bother washing and cutting up veggies for 10 minutes, then it's A FUCKING WIN.

Give my girl Mary Shelly more credit! She did not keep her beloved dead husbands heart with her and potentially lose her virginity on her mothers grave to NOT be given credit as the most badass gothic writer! We would not have the sci-fi/horror genre we have today without her!

feeling grief over someone who shaped part of your childhood / teenage years ≠ excusing his actions.

you can grieve someone and still not like them or agree with their actions. a reminder that two things can be true at once.
