I genuinely feel ashamed that all I can do is write words while more and more Arab people die - but momentum for fundraisers is one of very few things any of us can do at the moment
Please donate to the Sameer Project. They are doing amazing work on the ground. Try to do what you can. Sharing and donating as little as 5 dollars can culminate into a big difference. I have enough of a following to know that we can make a truly big difference if this didn’t simply go ignored bc people decided they’re bored now
turning point usa is kinda performance art like lets consider that the other founder died from covid in 2020.
>two people start a conservative organization to push covid conspiracies and pro-gun ideals (among other things)
>one dies of covid
>the other dies of gun violence
it’s so on the nose that it’s actually cliché
bluesky moderation is currently experiencing piss-gate (that i am somehow involved in) which reminds me quite a lot of a certain hammer car incident from this website
WHEEZING LAUGHTER AT THIS PART OF THE STORY
(via @transmortifried)
Reminder that when actual representatives in our government were targeted and assassinated (or attempted assassination) flags were not ordered to be at half mast. Kirk held no official position. He was simply a right wing spokesperson who spouted the same hate as Trump and the rest of his boot lickers.
if you didn’t hear dc pulled gretchen felker-martin’s red hood book for posting about charlie kirk on bluesky and silencing of a politically outspoken trans woman aside it’s really unbelievably sad we aren’t gonna get to read a jason todd book written by a woman who posts like this:
“big two comics can be a medium for radical politics” my ass. Grow a spine and stand up for this woman

this “negative” review of guillermo del toro’s upcoming frankenstein movie is everything to me
“The Mexican director has chosen to emphasise the romanticism at the expense of the horror. Elordi plays the creature as a misunderstood, James Dean-like outsider with Oedipal issues rather than as an agent of evil and chaos. Even if his face and torso are latticed with suitably grotesque scars, staples and stitches, he is not only the most sympathetic character in the movie but the best-looking one too. It’s left to Oscar Isaac to provide the real villainy as the brilliant but egomaniacal scientist, Victor Frankenstein…”
HELLO YES IT’S ME, MARY SHELLEY CALLING, JUST WANTED TO ASK IF YOU’VE EVER SEEN A GUILLERMO DEL TORO MOVIE OR… I DON’T KNOW… READ MY BOOK?
“The film lurches between scenes of lush romantic melodrama and moments of Grand Guignol bloodletting.”
*bangs fists on table* SIGN! ME! THE! FUCK! UP!
