the thing about Tangled is that this is a story geared towards little girls (even if it's "fun for the whole family," it's a disney princess movie, it's geared towards little girls), and it says, "here is a girl who is naive and doesn't know anything about the 'Real World' or how to navigate it safely and correctly. now pay close attention: the good guys are the ones who help her grow and explore new things while still respecting her own perspective and feelings, not making her feel stupid. the bad guys are the ones who tell her that she is too weak/immature/naive to do the things she wants to do, because she is fragile and needs protecting." and I watched this when I was nine years old and it resonated deep in a part of me that I couldn't articulate with words yet.

the justification when law enforcement kills someone for no particular reason always boils down to “we got really really scared, you should feel bad for us because we were sososo scared” ok. piss yourself or scream or something. why is killing someone the only option

I just wish we’d had some way of knowing that the Nazi tattooed bigot who did mercenary work for Blackwater and was abusive to the women he had relationships with was a bad guy before he’d gotten this far. If only we’d had some sort of visual warning for who Graham Platner was. If only he might have had something on his body that could tell us he was no good, before we let him run this long. Hindsight’s 20 fucking 20 I guess though huh

It’s so clear people don’t see people in the global south as real people. The only thing that’s changed since this information came out is that we found out he also victimized a white western woman. We already knew that he bragged about killing people in the global south, but that doesn’t matter because no one sees people in the global south as human.

you make one fucking post where the point is “women are encouraged to develop disordered eating from a very young age and that impacts how we view the ‘natural’ size and shape of women” and too many reblogs later i am being accused of saying short people wouldn’t exist if they ate better growing up. i’m sorry but if you genuinely think i was saying that you are just a buffoon. i cannot and will not sanction your buffoonery.

Down with the zionist state

[orangeblossombitch]

Revamping of an older illustration. Featured is a Palestinian Viper surrounded by native flowers and plants of Palestine. Written in my Tetas handwriting is the call for the destruction of the zionist state. In israeli fashion they claimed the snake (Daboia Palaestinae) as their national snake in 2018. As they do with everything that has "Palestine" in its name lolz.

The only way to peace is the destruction of the zionist state. Be assured that our rage and patience are endless and we will see our land and our people freed from these fascists.

Nuke canada now

Did y'all know that 70% of all mining operations in latin america and the caribbean involve a canadian transnational mining corporation?

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Anyway, when I was in college I was constantly going to marches and protests against canadian and saudi mining projects in the Santurbán páramo, one of the most important ecosystems in Colombia in terms of biodiversity, and the source of drinking water of 30+ municipalities in my state, including the city I live in. Ultimately these mining proposals lost their license due to environmental regulations.

But now that our new far-right president elect is looking to suck up to imperial core powers once again, canadian mining corporation Aris mining is interested in re-starting mining projects in Santurbán. Which, would inevitably give cyanide poisoning not only to my city's drinking water, but 30+ other municipalities and indigenous communities.

The imperial core will see one of latin america's veins and go "is anyone gonna cut that open?" and not wait for an answer

-- Ted Chiang, from "Why A.I. Isn't Going to Make Art"

[oldshrewsburyian]

I'm so glad they got Ted Chiang -- a wonderful writer of science fiction and thinker about technology, in my opinion -- to write this essay. My favorite line was this:

Generative A.I. appeals to people who think they can express themselves in a medium without actually working in that medium.
