Brown University students are launching an indefinite hunger strike for Palestine

they are asking for their university to divest from companies profiting from the genocide in gaza and openly call for a ceasefire and will not eat until the university governing bodies hears and considers a divestment resolution. if you are not familiar with the physical toll a hunger strike takes on the body, it might be worth looking up to get a better sense of what a significant action these students are taking. the university's highest governing body is having their first meeting of 2024 on february 8-9th so let's rally around them to muster even more pressure on brown university.

brown university contact page: let's state our support for these students and let brown university know the world will be watching what happens next!

i wanna know about your "required reading" list 👀

Here it is! Roughly in order of most to least influential on me:

His Dark Materials (the books, NOT any of the adaptations)

The Black Parade (and mcr's discography in general, but ESPECIALLY Black Parade)

The Lord of the Rings (this time I mean the movies and not the books. I like the books too but the movies got me hooked at a much younger age)

The Magnus Archives

The Locked Tomb

I called it, Ruan Mei is deranged and shady as hell

I was talking with a friend about how snowpiercer is an awful movie if you go into it thinking that the train is a metaphor for capitalism but it’s a decently ok film if it’s just about some fucked up shit that happens on a train

I've decided I want to reread all the previous murderbot books since I finished System Collapse but that I am going to do it out of order [read: start with the books that ART is in because ART is the best]

people acting like there isn't still very much an active stigma against cannibas and cannibas users is going to be my joker origin story

when i go to the doctor they still put cannibas use under the tab "substance abuse". not even just substance use. it is fully assumed that people who use cannabis, even as a prescription medication, are abusing it. just because you're friends with a couple of dumbass stoners doesn't mean that we've abandoned the idea as a culture that weed is a bad and scary and dangerous and highly addictive drug that will ruin your life if you use it once

(this is about trans stuff)

Probably need to get counselling about the fact that I’m so scared that my hormone balance is my personality.

big vent abt sex n attraction in the tags sorry

wtnv is fucking insane because despite running consistently for 12 years and doing liveshows and touring and publishing books it still manages to have some of the best writing ever

.

Yeah I can tell people have lost their grasp on basic ongoing forms of oppression when they say things like "hatred of men and masculinity is one of the reasons trans women, BIPOC and Jewish men are persecuted" like what a non-sequiteur. Imagine being so ignorant of power structures in your attempt to """progressively""" defend men that you become transphobic

One of my absolute favorite parts of the Mass Effect fandom is how people have taken the bare bones backstories for Shepard offered by the games and fleshed them out with families, childhood friends, etc. They’ve taken blank canvas and transformed it into something rich, complex, and unique.

Love to see it.

look into my eyes

look !!
