Whenever anarchism — or any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering the current system runs on things like "we put all the money on a scam machine that tells rich dipshits they're god."

What’s with the patronizing statement that she’s a “young woman” who needs to be coddled from critique? She’s a 35-year-old public figure 🙄 it’s wild how her whole “sweet white girl” pose seems to shield her from the same level of criticism others would face if their album sucked

Gogai, gogai! We don't get BRAND NEW NEVER BEFORE SEEN official artwork often here in the Revolutionary Girl Utena fandom, but when we do, it's Chiho Saito serving us post-series sapphic HELL YES. This was part of a merchandise drop from Rose-nik, cleaned from a scan by purpleriot with permission!

Watson's translation is probably my favourite of the three, at least if we are speaking only of these two lines.

32 mins ago the faction of ICE that's bombarding Los Angeles had to call in for help and request reinforcements because the citizens have cornered them. If that doesn't inspire you that we can all make a difference together, nothing will.

I'm only 10 minutes into this 90s anime & they hit me with this.

If you’re in your head a lot, please
get outside regularly. Doesn’t have to be nature, it just has to be a place where the scope of your vision changes. Scan the horizon, look at clouds.

Make time to look outside of you. Your surroundings will shape the size of your inner world.

This bitch wants to destroy SESAME STREET...

HOW TO APOLOGIZE IN JAPANESE ごめん sorry not sorry ごめんなさい Oops I stepped on the cat すみません Get out of my way すみませんでした no daycare spot for you 申し訳ない Sorry we closed 1.5 seconds ago and no exceptions cuz rules 申し訳ございません I didn't mean for you to hear me call women "baby making machines" May I plz be excused from this 大変申しございません mandatory drinking party because my wife is in the hospital? 本当に申し訳ございません Sorry we worked you so hard that you died. We're good now tho, right? お詫び申し上げます Sorry our lack of mental health care has made your train late again. ご迷惑をかけて申し訳ございません 弁解の余地がない Actually I don't remember but if you say I assaulted you I'm sorry I guess. We now understand that passing taxpayer money to strippers via mouth-to-mouth is bad はんせい 反省しております こうかい 後悔しております Super sorry we made your hometown an uninhabitable nuclear wasteland but we're just gonna keep doing what Plz forget about that time I got drunk and ran around naked in the park so l can have my endorsements back TIA we're doing without any accountability if you don't mind

I can’t figure out who made the original graphic here and if u do plz tell me so i can credit them but anyway I added some practical English translations to it because it is raining and I’m bored and my kids refuse to go anywhere with me.

Noem’s video is bait for non-Trumpers because it invites us to do just what my wife & I have done: discuss her looks instead of her ideas. “See?” fascists say. “Who’s the sexist now? Hypocrites!” It’s a trap, because for fascism the aesthetic *is* the “idea.” 6/

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

the reality of this is simple: legal arguments are normative arguments. you are arguing for specific outcomes and specific legal regimes. this is transparent to everyone except lawyers.

This is a good way to put it. The only thing we're debating here is the terminology to describe the type of far-right eugenicist psycho we're dealing with. Even if Elon is not "technically" a Nazi he is something equally bad on the merits.

Word of the day….

Who made this 🤣

In the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr Day, remember that we don't have to live in fear of racist rightwing Christo-fascist doomerism.
We CAN just tell them to fuck off.

Be safe out there today.

even his supposedly apolitical movies have unsubtle messages, spirited away is in part about the pollution of the environment (symbolized by the "stink spirit" scene and Haku being the spirit of a river that had apartments built over it) and chihiro's parents literally morph into consumerist pigs
