here's a swedish version!

I've been doing a lot of spinning lately but it hasn't been exciting work, so I haven't posted much. At a certain point one bobbin full of white three-ply wool looks basically identical to all of the others. But, picture time because I am 1.9kg (4.2lb) into a 4kg (9lb) project, almost halfway!!

Here's hoping I can speed up work a bit, I'd like to be done before Tour de Fleece starts.

I really am happy with the jumbo flyer I got for my wheel. Excellent purchase, well worth it.

To areyoudoingthis: You have a beautiful spirit and you share so much lovely art. Your fic is delightful (especially the cat collar fic, oh my gods), and you have a sense of enduring hope that really inspires me. <3

Hi @areyoudoingthis! You've received a lovely letter! 💌 Crew, you can read their fic here.

It's never antizionism not antisemitism.

These are comments in Taika Waititi's comment sections. All he did was sign a letter for the hostages to be released. He has not said anything in support of Israel's actions.

Taika Waititi is a Jewish man.

As you can see from the first picture, he is being told that he can no longer make movies sharing Māori experiences because he signed a letter for hostages to he released. A Māori man is being told not to share Māori experiences because he signed a letter for hostages to be released and because he's Jewish.

This is sickening. It's disgusting. It's trying to erase his indigenous experiences as a Māori all because he's Jewish.

All the other comments are also equally gross.

Hey Deutsch-tumblr. Diese Jugendliche wird seit einiger Zwit vermisst. Sie stammt aus Götzenheim bei Dreieich, in Hessen. Fotos vo ihr kleben praktisch fast an allen Öffi-Stationen im Frankfurter Stadtgebiet, soweit ich es heute, Mittwoch den 17. April 2024 gesehen hab. Wäre cool wenn ihr das reblogged.

@aurelia-which-means-sunrise, hoff es is okay wenn ich dich tagge

KORREKTUR!: Sie stammt aus Götzenhain nicht -heim. Ich hatte den Post mit meinem smartphone verfasst...

whats great about the internet is that you can just ignore people who are fucking stupid and not waste your time on them, i say, white knuckling the sink and staring into the mirror

I've talked about how much I long for more fandom meta to be archived on ao3 for both preservation's sake and easier access, but a specific kind I'm always ravenous for is translation analysis.

Yes, tell me more about the cultural connotations of this word, tell me about this pun or double meaning that didn't fully translate, tell me where the English translation took liberties. Can't get enough of it.

It's Ed's touch that wakes Stede up.

Ah, Buttons. Everyone's favourite all powerful Sea Witch/bird guy <3

Which is a feat, honestly, considering that he's essentially just a weird hippie, and don't we all know one of those. It would have been so easy to use him as an easy source of comedy (of the "lol look at this creep!" variety) and instead we got this deeply, deeply weird character, who is nonetheless - kinda just existing? Doing his thing. Desiring the sea carnally. Dreaming of eating someone.

Like it's not that Actually He's Fine :D, it's that the nudism is literally the least remarkable thing about him. And in an american TV show!

I love him. I love how he's a testament to how the whole point of art is to make stuff that's just so weird.

Who is doing it like ofd, the answer is no one.

oh for fuck's sake

cw: disordered eating, suicide

YOU CANNOT "SAFELY" GO ON HUNGER STRIKE

The whole point of a hunger strike is that it's unsafe. When you go on hunger strike, you're essentially holding yourself hostage, threatening to do (and actively doing) considerable harm to yourself to force your demands to be listened to. Yes there is a historic precedent; yes, hunger strikes are a well established method of protest. There is also a long, long list of people who died from going on hunger strike. The risk of dying is what makes a hunger strike an act of protest. People doing this communicate that their cause is one worth dying for, or that death is preferable to whatever situation they find themselves in.

Are you willing to die for twitter clout? In the name of Hamas propaganda? Are you willing to lay down your life because someone on social media made you feel guilty for living in peace while there's wars happening?

If you're not endangering your life, the hunger strike is useless.

Not to mention that skipping a few meals while scrolling through your phone will accomplish precisely nothing. A hunger strike has to be public, you have to force people to watch you commit a long, drawn-out suicide, or again - it's useless, performative bullshit.

And yk. Don't actually kill yourself because someone with a watermelon icon told you to.

The original person who called for the hunger strike thats being spread around is an actual Palestinian, not a performative activist, who has made their reasons for doing so very clear in other posts. Every post I've seen being spread about the situation includes extremely detailed information on how to go about something like this safely, (including ways to preserve your energy and keep your body nourished enough to avoid health complication and consulting with your doctor) and how hunger strikes have been used as a form of protest across history. Moreover, no one is forcing anyone to do this and the posts circulating make a huge point of stressing safety above all else. If someone is not safe to do a hunger strike thats perfectly reasonable, I know I wouldn't be safe to do that. However, if someone wants to protest in this way which has a large amount of historical precedent and wants to share information about how others can safely join their protest, (which again, does not have a stipulated timespan and can be stopped whenever the protester chooses) there's really not anything wrong with that. Hunger strikes are nothing new and if your issue with it is that the content is improperly tagged, I understand that. But to say that they don't do anything or anyone involved in an extreme and active form of protest to call out the famine that children in Haza are facing is just being "performative" is literally just not true. I agree with a lot of the posts you've shared in the past about how tumblr users' "activism" is often just for morality points and results in a lot of unnecessary harassment, but this just honestly isn't one of those cases and anyone participating in it probably has their own personal reasons for doing so. I'm not even trying to be disrespectful here but your post shows ignorance. This is honestly not something that needs to be talked about by an our flag means death fandom blogger

being palestinian and doing performative activism are not mutually exclusive

it doesn't matter that safety information is being shared, it doesn't matter that people are free to not join in - at the end of the day, someone is being applauded for announcing that they're going to fast for upwards of 2 weeks straight, and is calling people brave and kind for saying they're going to join in, and none of this is tagged. disordered eating is very very common and it's irresponsible to be using a large platform to tell people that they should stop eating because it's morally good and perfectly safe and an example of good activism

hunger strikes are nothing new, but this is not a hunger strike. the original poster has said themselves that it's a solidarity fast and has admitted that it's being done out of a personal feeling of guilt. this is less a hunger strike and more a bit of performative self-flagellation

i contain multitudes! as well as being an our flag means death fandom blogger, i'm also a human being and a former healthcare worker and someone who has seen friends have their lives ruined by eating disorders, so i can and should talk about this :)
