I honestly don't want to see another person say "you should've voted for Harris" as if that was the solution. Shut the fuck up. She's also a fascist cop. She's at best damage control. You all would pat yourselves on the back and remain complicit if you voted her in.

Thinking about this part of my post. I'm gonna make a sweater that has "read" on it and "God said read bitch"

We use West Asia and North Africa in this house (SWANA).

A friendly reminder

After a US-Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran, rescuers dug through the rubble for survivors. The death toll is still rising, with more than 80 confirmed dead so far.

Blessed with Colleenclave 🙏

Business and capitalism ARE SEXIST. Men are seen as the default, general audience. Women’s products and stories are seen as “niche.” And it only gets worse when considering race as well. SO YEAH MAN “ITS NOT SEXISM ITS JUST BUSINESS” is SO incredibly oxymoronic.

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ Davidson said he ‘can’t begin to explain how upset and distraught I have been’ over slurs he shouted during the award ceremony

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

kasamachi walks out with makio kasamachi: "besides, it was easier than you thought, wasn't it?"

"asking for help."

"all you need to do is reach out and say so."

makio grimaces. "it was really hard, actually."

help this anime won't stop sniping me ow

Tonou saying "Well, I'd like to raise an objection with your father!"

Tonou saying, "He should have talked to you instead of clicking his tongue."

On Kasamachi as Tonou continues, "A single interaction can hurt a child's self-esteem."

Panel 1 - Tonou saying, "Er, I'm sorry. I mean no disrespect to your family." Panel 2 - Kasamachi saying, "Nah. In fact, I'd love to hear you bash my dad more. Really."

Kasamachi and Touno's exchange about his dad was also really lovely. Tonou recognizing the hurt young Kasamachi must have gone through and defending him like this- this is how you become friends!

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

Ikoku Nikki has got to be one of the best anime that portrays the stages of grief so realistically.

It doesn't always follow an order because everyone is different, and the show doesn't mince the pain of loss when Asa finally comes to accept that her parents are gone.

Okay well, this actually depends on the type you're eating. There are types where you do just shove the whole thing into your mouth so

I can always tell who grew up eating dates and who didn't depending on if you bite into it vertically or horizontally.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

After losing her husband, Umiko visits a cinema for the first time in years—and realizes she’d like to make a film of her own.

I haven't had goldfish crackers in a longgggg while lol, and I don't think I've ever seen them in Japan. I'm currently looking for glass goldfish for my Nowruz decorations instead 👀

It's like the west is moving from east to west to pick the new trending culture of the season. Japan is living in 2050 (orientalism btw), Korean culture gets big, now everyone is "in a Chinese time in their life" 😭😭😭 it would kill y'all to be NORMAL about things for once.

I swear to God if in the near future, Nowruz becomes a trend and you cultural appropriating weirdos buy all the goldfish from PetSmart and end up killing them (or buy up all the goldfish crackers if you're more conscious of animal welfare) I'm going to drag everyone for filth.

Oriental? Just call me an exotic flute snake at this point.

Exactly this, SWANA has been so demonized

idk how it was for others, but that part wasn't really made clear or emphasized (or talked about at all), and I had the Mesopotamia lesson multiple times at different schools across different states so like... And from what I've seen people say online, I'm not the only one.

Like I think a lot people know of Mesopotamia "the cradle of civilization."

But if you were to frame it as modern day Iraq/Iran/Kuwait, I think something would click in people's heads (or certain people would combust idk)

and where the Epic of Gilgamesh came from, it wasn't until I was much older thay I realized that I'm from the regions of Mesopotamia and Persepolis... What I'm getting at is the onion layers of demonization of POC and not giving us our flowers is crazyyy
