"wahh i only like enemies to lovers if it's gay bc i don't want men to be mean to women" what about a woman doing heinous shit to a man and that man (who also sucks) being pathetically psychosexually obsessed with her. you people have no fucking vision. if you were willing to read & write women doing actual wrongs this wouldn't be a problem. let that female character commit atrocities with the sole goal of ruining one guy's life while they have weird sexual tension about it

I watched Mamdani's video last night, and I honestly haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

I'm scared.

I don't think people understand what it feels like to watch an elected American leader speak about the Jewish state the way he did, repeating some of the worst accusations imaginable as if they're simply accepted truth.

History didn't start with violence.

It started with people believing libels and conspiracies about Jews.

The Nazis convinced people that Jews were a racial threat. Today, I see people convinced that the Jewish state represents a unique moral evil. Those ideas don't stay confined to Israel. They shape how people see Jews.

That's what scares me.

I have kids. I never thought I'd look at the world they're growing up in and wonder if history is starting to rhyme in ways I never imagined I'd see in America.

Maybe that's hard for some people to understand. But for Jews, it's impossible to ignore.

This isn't the kind of fear you just talk yourself out of. It's the kind that settles in your stomach because you've spent your whole life learning how quickly hatred can spread once people become convinced that Jews are uniquely evil.

“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard

Marginalized characters are always defined by their marginalization, in fanspace.

When they're white queer male characters, it's their queerness - and fandom embraces that. Any OTHER marginalization, however, becomes an OBSTACLE to ever engaging with them in the first place.

So fandom defaults to white male characters because they can't see past any other label to empathize or engage with anything else.

saathi1013

And this isn't *natural.* It's not an innate state of thinking about characters - or people in general. This is LEARNED and perpetuated - both in source media and in our shared community spaces of fandom. Because if you appreciate characters that aren't white men, you're quickly taught by the rest of the community that your opinions are weird and fringe, and that you'll be shunned at best, or harassed at worst, for trying to authentically or substantively engage with those characters.

AND! When I was a teenager, there was absolutely parts of fandom that didn't embrace queerness. Fandom changed. It could change further!

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

The thing about the moon is maybe you don’t need to write a poem about the moon. The moon’s been done, we’ve discussed it. It’s a coin a mirror an eye a lantern in the darkness. It’s a rock in space. It’s the dang moon we’ve all seen it! Is there something you can notice that’s is more surprising than the moon???

Before, circa peak 2014 tumblr sj slapfighting, jumblr would regularly poast about how wannabe blogger pundits (golbatgender et al) would yap about converting to Judaism (obviously not going through it irl) for sj points and because they were embarrassed about their majority Christian roots; Islam was too scary for them, Buddhism too clichéd, but “jewdaism” and “paganism” seemed just about right.

Between 2023 and the present day, blogger pundits claim to be atheists but are openly sympathetic to theofascistic Islamism/putinist russian orthodoxy and accuse the few people converting to Judaism of doing so purely out of wanting to steal Palestinian land/drink Palestinian baby blood/aiding da evul zio west. Too on the nose, methinks!

AO3 SCAM

There's been a number of people reporting over on the AO3 subreddit that they're getting messages like this posted in the comments shortly after posting new fics.

The AO3 team are NEVER going to try and contact you about TOS violations via the comment section (or about anything else for that matter)

Don't click any links. Report the accounts involved (which might claim to be things like "LucySupport"), delete the message and move on.

✨Signal boost if you can!✨

So apparently, over the summer, Quibi (the shortest-lasting streaming service ever lmao) did a quarantine project called “Home Movie: The Princess Bride” where a bunch of celebrities recreated The Princess Bride in tiny chunks at home.

And like there was no permanent cast, all these celebrities seem to have gotten a scene or part of a scene to do (i’m not sure exactly, I did not ever watch Quibi and thus haven’t seen this yet), and then they just… recreated it as best they could. At home. Under quarantine.

So like, you had Jennifer Garner in a blanket cape playing Princess Buttercup AND the Booing Old Woman with a crowd comprised entirely of stuffed animals:

Or Taika Waititi paying Westley off a badly-drawn Inigo on a piece of cardboard held in front of someone’s face:

And it’s all just delightful.

But my absolute favorite part of this thing that I’ve sadly never seen but assume is probably absolutely hilarious and a treasure and I want to find it some day and watch the whole thing… is that Carey Elwes is in it.

As Prince Fucking Humperdink.

dont store a knife with the point facing down, it damages the blade. no, dont do that either. when you store it with the point facing up you might accidentally hurt yourself when you try to grab it. dont store a knife at all actually. your blade must never leave your hand, always ready, ruthless and waiting. you know deep down that ever since you learned the stench of blood you will never be able to cast it aside. or just get a sheath for it i guess.

I often feel that to be born a Jew is to be born grieving. I often feel that grief is all I will ever be.

dispassionedgrace

grief is evidence of love. we have lost so many we loved so dearly and in the spirit of that love we resist annihilation and nurture becoming, over and over and over again. at least our sorrows can be shared, my friend
