anxiety is peaking today

in light of the trailer for the new captain america movie dropping, a reminder that bds has asked people to boycott this film specifically due to marvel's refusal to remove the character of sabra.

The actress for Sabra was medically exempt from military conscription, but volunteered anyway.

Now that's dedicated white supremacy!

Obligatory mention that they're literally using this movie as a recruitment tool for new mossad agents from younger generations. The reason PACBI (Palestinian academic and culture boycott) is around is to make people realize that normalization (yes, that's a real political concept, zionists stop making fun of the way palestinians talk) extends to the arts and is used to encourage people to take part in the occupation, disenfranchisement, and outright slaughter of Palestinians with no cultural pushback.

donald trump has been shot in the ear at a rally it's so over folks

To be clear, Trump being assassinated would be bad. & not even on my "all life is sacred ethics is important" shit!

Christian nationalists are a few cultural hops away from fully deifying this man. if he died of natural causes there's at least a 50% chance that within a month there would be widespread conspiracies on Dems poisoning him or something.

There was a full-on coup as a result of him losing an election fairly. If he gets fucking assassinated how do you think those people will react? The reason why no amount of sex scandal will turn these people away from him is because Donald the human guy does not matter except as a vessel for Trump The Idea. The narrative is already that he's a political martyr, I don't want him to become a literal one. Just being shot in the ear is going to make Republicans unfathomably annoying and fuel their persecution complex.

I get the desire to see him dead. Even just by happenstance. But murder is like having an painful cut on your toe and deciding to get a knife and amputate it. One problem will technically go away, but there are so many other problems that will arise as a result. Its dangerous to jump to emotionally fulfilling solutions to complicated and deeply-rooted issues, both morally and on a solely practical level. Trump is a figurehead, not the mastermind/

(that being said I DO think the jokes people are making are very funny and I will be laughing at them. I just also know that Republicans are going to milk this for all its worth and that very well may include retaliatory violence!)

i hate how they market alexa as a ‘member of the family’ like that’s SO fucking blatantly insidious and terrifying also if i wanted an untrustworthy/cold/emotionless machine in my life i’d just talk to my fuckin father 

“Guys stop bullying my wiretap”

#did we all collectively forget why Big Brother was called that

There is no line they will not cross. No supposed convictions or beliefs they will not be trained. No repugnant mindset they will not adopt in their quest for power.

America is Israel's bitch

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

Pathologizing abuse, whether it’s in the home or the workplace, whether it’s physical or emotional or sexual, stops us from being able to recognize the hegemonic structures that make abuse so universal. It is not aberrant, it is completely normal, and that should spur you to action

That whole campaign is sponsored by the people who own Hobby Lobby. They know that their toxic brand of hateful bigotry, disguised as religious belief, is radioactively unpopular. Through their own actions, they have turned off an entire generation.

So they spend money on a misleading campaign, designed to trick people into thinking that He Gets Us is an alternative to the toxic and hateful bigotry the sponsors of He Gets Us are hoping to drive them toward.

All of that money could have done legitimate good, made a meaningful difference, and would have actually made a better case for the Canon Jesus than their deeply misleading and sinful efforts to promote Fandom Jesus.

I am not a Christian, but even I know that if the Jesus described in the gospels was a real person, and if he actually said and taught the things the Bible says he said and taught, he would be at the front of the line, decrying the He Gets Us people.

Either they don't get that, or they don't care. In either case, spending money to trick people into following you, rather than spending money to meaningfully and immediately improve people's lives (as Jesus taught, bee tee dubs) just tells everyone that these people are American Pharisees.

If Heaven exists, I would pay a dollar to see the look on their face when the bouncer tells them they aren't on the list, as a consequence of their choices.

2018 was five years ago let that sink in

no fucking way💀

no no guys you don’t get it i made this fucking post in 2018. as a joke. i was like hah could you imagine it being 2023? could never be me! and then completely forgot until right now when someone reblogged it and i was forced to face the horror that it is, in fact, the year 2023 right now.

Posts that are better with timestamps enabled

Reblog if it is infact, the year 2023 right now

Some day, even some day soon… It’ll be 2028

Last day of 2023. Fuck

Reblog if you understand and have felt the pain of your glasses never being clean no matter how many times you wipe them

my coworkers, all of whom are white Christian women, said today that they think ANYONE of Palestinian descent should be deported to Gaza and then have bombs dropped on them.

They don’t know I’m Palestinian. I’m fucking terrified. We don’t have HR. I can’t lose my job. It’s crazy to me that they can spout genocidal bullshit but if I so much as mention my ethnicity they may turn on me and hate me.

I’m a patient care coordinator at a pulmonary practice. All I want to do is make sure my patients get the care they need and deserve. I’m the only care coordinator in my office. I’m great at my job. But it was so hard to focus today knowing that if my coworkers knew about one of the biggest aspects of my identity - one of the things about myself about which I am the most proud - they would stop seeing me as a person.

Fuck off with the bothsidesism. With the whataboutism. This is what the mass of propaganda and lies and anti-Arabism being spread in the media do. And I’m terrified.
