What’s happening in Thailand and how to help:

The people of Thailand live in a military dictatorship, in constant fear of having their rights stripped away for speaking out against injustice. Dozens of critics have been arrested arbitrarily over the years, some even died under mysterious circumstances. DO NOT LET THEIR VOICES GO UNHEARD, DO NOT IGNORE THEIR STRUGGLES.

The context:

The current prime minister of Thailand, Prayut Chan-o-cha, organized a military coup in 2014 the pushed a militant dictatorship into power.

He retained his seat after an election(amidst complaints of cheating and vote buying) in March 2019 was held under new election laws his junta introduced to give him an advantage.

Their opposite, Future Forward Party was dissolved under suspicious conditions.

Under his regime, Thailand’s constitution has been redrafted to push military forces into power and any criticism against the government has been met with violence and aggression. thailand is currently in an economic crisis, in the middle of a pandemic.

What’s happening now:

At least 9 people criticizing thailand’s military and monarchy have disappeared

Thai activists, who are actively speaking out against the are being forced to go into hiding, with reports of over 60+ activists being forced into hiding.

Freedom of speech and expression has been stolen from the people by the junta by violently cracking down on dissent, actively enforcing media censorship, and banning public gatherings.

The current constitution, drafted under the heavy influence of the military and enacted in 2017, allows authoritarianism and abuse of power to thrive even further—at the price of thai people’s liberty and basic human rights. The law and the corrupt justice system has been weaponized by the military to serve the ruling class and demolish the less fortunate.

What do the protestors want? at the risk of facing jail time, thailand’s activists and students are protesting for:

The three main demands are:

For the government to dissolve the parliament

The government to stop threatening civil liberty

A demand for a new constitution to be drafted

more demands:

"End 112": refers to a royal defamation law that protects the monarchy from criticism and carries a sentence of up to 15 years per charge.

Greater democracy and less power for the monarchy

HOW TO HELP:

EDUCATE YOURSELF: do everything you can to find out about whats happening in thailand.

SPREAD AWARENESS: the students, protestors and activists are being actively targeted and persecuted by the government for speaking up. The absolute least we can do is spread awareness about it and amplify their voices. the internet is the only way for everyone to educate themselves on whats happening in thailand. read and reshare the links. don’t let the people of thailand be forgotten. if the students of thailand can take a stand while being scared for their lives and freedom, so can you. silence is compliance.

PROTEST: protests are being held everywhere, in LA, paris, mancouver, berlin, etc. (link to locations and dates of protests)

DONATE: donate to organizations that spread awareness through newspapers, lawyers helping protestors that are being arrested.

One thing I love about studying math is that when you ask any fellow student or prof why they went into math we all say it’s because we find it beautiful. It’s so diametrically opposed to the opinion that everyone else has about math that it feels like some kind of virus that infects you and makes you unable to study anything else

I study math because there is some sort of gremlin in my brain addicted to the clacking sound two Numbers make when they smack against each other

"stop commenting on actress's bodies" nah actually I think I will continue to comment on the fact that since the rise of ozempic every second actress looks like she's about to blow away in a strong wind because I lived through heroin chic and normalised eating disorders and insane body expectations the FIRST fucking time and saw the damage it did so I'm personally not going to stay silent and let choice feminism make extreme weight loss "acceptable" just because tiktok has convinced some of yall that any choice a woman makes is Valid just because she's a fucking woman like are you all fucking serious right now

skulandcrossbones

and I actually think we SHOULD be shaming these women like we should be calling them out for undoing 2+ decades of body positivity all so they can prance around with giant heads and skeletal wrists and visible ribs and I actually don't give a fuck about it being their "choice" because while they have the money and access to lose weight with a medication that wasn't fucking made for them (and then say oh no it's just a healthy diet and exercise tee hee 🤭), the 12 or 13 year old girls seeing them and thinking that's how they should look are going to use the only methods at their disposals to look like that and it is going to KILL THEM and I dont give a FUCK if it hurts some rich cunt's feelings or makes me a bad feminist if I say she's an irresponsible piece of shit for promoting such an extreme and unhealthy body image for the millions of young girls growing up on a new wave of insane body dysmorphia I don't give a FUCK!!!!!!!

Saw this on Twitter and I obligatory need to share it

So she actually said that she does not see the appeal in Senshi at all and that the panty shots weren't intended to be horny - she just has a neighbor who looks kind of like him and does laundry in his underwear. Which she finds kind of weird and offputting, and put into his character to be funny.

But that's the thing. She doesn't exaggerate or grotesqueify or alter people's bodies to fit some standard. (Except insofar as she draws different species differently, and those are exquisitely practiced to ensure they have the same diversity of appearances that humans do.) She just presents people exactly as they are, complexities and oddities and all.

It just so happens that when you present people exactly as they are, what you present will be beautiful and alluring to many. Even the things you yourself might find weird and offputting. Honestly I think it's a touching example of how you don't have to see the beauty in everyone for the beauty to be there, simple honesty is enough to let the wonder of people's humanity shine through.

#i think we should put this post next to the interview where she said she doesn't want to eat the food in the series cuz she's a picky eater#and file them both under 'you don't know an artist from their work'#and maybe you don't need to!#maybe all you need to know is that ryoko kui is Good At What She Does#idk I don't like the implication that artists (and women especially?) can only create from personal life and feelings#some people have imagination and craft#kind of a tangent but. there you go.

no but you're very correct

Turdus aficionados of Costa Rica please know I love your national bird but this is objectively hilarious

Hello, so I'm originally from Costa Rica and there's actually a good reason why the Yigüirro was chosen over so many other more colorful birds. All those toucans, parrots, and the like are quite beautiful but your average Costa Rican person rarely gets to see them, because they mostly live out in the rain forests and other places far away from human settlements. But Yigüirros live in towns and cities, so most folks are much more likely to see and appreciate them on a regular basis. Yigüirros have a strong, beautiful song which heralds the start of the rainy season, so you always know when one is around during that time of year. This trait has caused the Yigüirro to appear in a lot of Costa Rican literature as well. I think the fact that they were chosen over visually prettier species speaks to how the government let Costa Ricans vote on the national bird, rather than just making a declaration. Truly a bird of the people!

Having said all that, it is undeniably hilarious that there is a genus of bird named "Turdus."
