FYI, I'm still unfollowing people who post or reblog things calling for the end of Israel's existence. You should know that when you do, you are calling for the expulsion or murder, or at best the oppression of millions of Jews. *At best*, you want Israeli Jews to suffer what Palestinians are now suffering. That is not justice; that is revenge. Your condemnations of collective punishment are revealed as pure hypocrisy when you call for more collective punishment in return.

If I’d ever been aborted the effect on me would be exactly indistinguishable from if I’d never been conceived, which could have happened any infinite number of ways. It doesn’t matter because I wasn’t that fetus. I’ve never been a fetus. The meat and guts I’m using came from a fetus but I wasn’t there for that time period. The development of my physical vessel is not an event I was present for and anything that might have happened to it is as relevant to me as whether my parents just went to sleep instead of starting that up. If you care about aborted embryos you’re a goddamned idiot and should grow the fuck up.

🤦

the whole ‘Eskel is a better witcher than Geralt’ stuff has always made me more sad than anything else. Geralt’s arc as a character is the building acceptance that even though he was raised a witcher and the profession is part of him : he’s a human, and he’s happy to be one.

but Eskel is a witcher. He’s not just ‘better’ at killing monsters he’s ‘better’ at wearing the title. He truly does work to cap his emotions, to succumb to the 9-5, to accept that his mutations make him something separate from the human he was born as.

He sees the stereotypes and the stigmatization of witchering and he only allows himself to step outside these forced boundaries when prompted by Geralt, Lambert, or Ciri, and even then he makes it clear that he’s making an exception.

And that’s not to say his moments of vulnerability and human connection are unnatural to him, he feels love and is drawn to protect those that he loves same as Geralt, but he’s out of practice in acting on these emotions because he’s a case study in survival repression.

He never solidifies a relationship with Ciri in the way Lambert does (in the books), he’s not even shown goofing around with her like Coën. He’s kind to her and he loves her and he goes on to put his life on the line to save her, but the vastness of his self-imposed missed opportunities is sickening. And that’s not even touching on the decay of his relationship with Lambert, or his white-knuckle grip on Vesemir.

Eskel is a good fucking witcher, he’ll dispose of your monsters faster and cleaner than his brothers ever will. But when his niece starts reminiscing on her favorite memories from childhood, he’ll be waiting a long damn time before she says his name.

But wait! There's more!

when I say she's a dumb person's idea of a smart person... this is exactly how dumb I'd expect that person to be ^

Republicans can’t win without cheating.

‘crushed under the weight of the targ system’ do y’all ever just SHUT UP MY GOD

Who the fuck thinks it’s a good idea to privatise emergency services?!

Apart from stupid Tories and terminally divorced tech bros.

“No, really. It’ll work this time!” - Capitalism.

I feel SICK!

“The Free Market Fire Department!

We’ll stop your house from burning down, but only if you pay a small fee of $500 and sign this contract.”

“But I don’t have $500.”

“Then you’re just gonna have to fucking die!”

Ghastly shit.

Perish the thought!

You sure were, bud!

Fuming. You bet he was.

love that swifties have no problem being ableist freaks as long as queen capitalism is involved. let’s not rally around the family of the girl that just died (a fucking swiftie, mind you), no no. let’s rally around taylor and make sure she knows swifties love her with a fucking #weloveyoutaylor hashtag on every tweet about the tragedy of A HUMAN BEING DYING. but yes, let’s care more about her handwriting and how SHE feels while a family is grieving and not give a single flying fuck as long as taylor needs us. because that’s the mature thing to do, obviously.

The Republican uneducated base is being appealed to more than ever before. Conspiracy theorists are also being brought on board to squeeze every last vote out of the deplorable population.
