I swear to god if Pedro joins Marvel and I get Charlie, him, Sebastian, and Oscar all on screen at once in a scene I will die. I'm not even joking, I have a heart conditon, MY HEART AND BODY WILL NOT SURVIVE BUT JFC WHAT A WAY TO GO GIVE GIVE GIVE GIVE

me @ closing weekend of The Thanksgiving Play

I'm gonna be honest here: one of the more exhausting parts of the online discourse is how much of a tightrope I am always on, that those of us who care about human rights for all human beings are always on, because any statement made in favor of the "other" side is ripe for tokenism.

I, as a Jew, care about the safety and human rights of Palestinians and Arab Israelis. You will never convince me that there is an ethical way to kill civilians, especially children. You will never convince me that police brutality against citizens marching for their civil rights is necessary. You just can't. And yet I have to be so careful when/where I say that and how I say that, because too often this simple acknowledgement that all people are created in the image of Hashem and should be treated accordingly is ripped out of context and placed between a deluge of other posts denying my people that very same acknowledgement. The number of times I have said these things, only to go into the reblogs and see my words surrounded on all sides with violent antisemitism? I've lost count.

And guess what? It's made me less effective as an advocate, it has actively silenced me from speaking up sometimes, because I refuse to be your "good Jew," your token, somebody whose words can be misconstrued to kasher your vile hatred of my people. And to be very clear: Jewish Israelis are my people just as much as fellow diaspora yidden are, and they deserve better from both goyim and diaspora Jews alike.

And I've seen this go the other way, too: I've seen Palestinian activists and journalists who are trying very hard to balance the values of respecting other people (including Israelis and/or Jews writ large) as fellow human beings with the pain that their people are currently suffering. And I've seen their words ripped out of context and used to excuse more violence against them and their people.

And then there are lots of other people - genuinely well-intentioned people who are trying to learn from me - who keep treating me like I'm some paragon of nuance. I'm trying, truly, but I'm Just Some Guy. You know what I do? It's extremely simple and I promise you can do it too, any of you, if you slow down long enough to think before putting anything out there: "Would I say this about my brother? My mom? My daughter? My people? Would I be happy if the person I loved most on this earth was living under these circumstances and being talked about in whatever way I'm about to speak? Would it feel victim-blaming? Would it feel disrespectful of their struggle or dishonest? Does it ignore their history or trauma? Is it actually helping?" These are the types of questions I try very hard to ask myself every time I post about the conflict, about both sides. I try to talk about this as if the people on both sides were my family. Because truthfully? They are. Am Yisrael is a family, before anything else. Palestinians are our closest cousins. This war is a bloodbath and a tragedy, and everyone is suffering. For those of us who are not living there, please remember this and have some respect.

I really love the last five years but I cant help but cringe when people have a "theyre both equally to blame" take

bleugh

wowwwwwwwwww

always having grown up being on the fringes of, well, everything—a "girl" that just didn't fit in (trans), the only queer i knew, autistic/adhd, shite at making and keeping friends, the (seemingly) ONLY person who hated my seaside hometown—i can honestly say

ah bollocks.

genuinely forgotten the point i was making. pretty sure it was golden, too. tho, at this point, i suppose i would say that.

thinking about that scene in MDZSQ when Lan Sizhui gets yeeted into oblivion and Jin Ling looks all smug before getting yeeted into oblivion seconds after

Your bio says you can be bribed with lux, but what about 13 postcards I found randomly? Would you take those?

..THIRTEEN????

I have to say it I have to answer this I see too many people ask where the triforce is in TotK. Zelda has it she has it it's on her right hand it's in the final cutscene it's there.

It's also in the official art of Zelda

STRIKING because upon closer inspection only 2 out of 3 triangles are lit up.

Which could mean 1 of 3 things:

It's just like this for the official art

Zelda has courage and power, but not wisdom??

Zelda has wisdom and this is just what the triforce mark looks like. But it also means that courage and power are... somewhere else.

"oh... wow, that's... "...beautiful?" "...probably bad...?" "...yeah, probably"

i love phil being like “it’s so hard to kidnap dapper”

and i mean no offense, BUT THIS IS LIKE THE SEVENTH TIME THAT EGG’S BEEN KIDNAPPED. I LOVE HER BUT LIKE HE SEEMS PRETTY EASY TO KIDNAP.

Are they friends? Frenemies? Oh, who knows!
