The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

I will literally joke about how I'm a hater then remember people literally have whole blogs dedicated to hating people and media and actually maybe I'm a lover who happens to occasionally dabble on criticising the things i don't like.

New Berserk chapter just came out.

https://readberserk.com/chapter/berserk-chapter-376/

Huh, guess it does confirm that Rickert wasn’t hiding in secrecy from the Kushans, but was helping them directly. That’s my small fan theory out of the way.

Thanks for the link!

It does seem to be pushing the most straightforward (and imo boring) possible plotline lol, army vs army, big battle, magic vs magic, snore.

I would like to maintain hope that the straightforward plot will be complicated as we go on - like this story can't seriously expect me to root for Daiba over Griffith lol, if he doesn't have a hidden agenda or dark side that comes into play and we're meant to just brush his whole mass torture rape murder artificial behelit thing under the rug, then oof. Like, we had a scene where Silat saw it and defected from Ganishka over it, and now he's working with the mastermind behind it? Does he know? Is this going to factor into anything? What?

Plus it seems too early to set up for a final climactic battle, based on how much Miura suggested he had left to write before he died, so I'm betting it'll end with Guts and co losing or something derailing it, but who knows, maybe they're speedrunning the ending, or there'll be 50 chapters of build up first.

Also Guts being saved by magic from his own rage AGAIN is killing me, like, for fuck's sake. This is no way to pace a story, I'm dying here.

On the plus side it's cool that they're still drawing actual Puck instead of chestnut Puck, and it's always nice to see Silat. But yeah, not super enthused by this chapter lol.

#GOD i still lowkey can't believe #that guts didn't cut loose and kill people #it's in the title people #let him go berserk

The situation of the Congo Genocide is complicated because we are all implicated in it. We can’t ascribe it to a foreign policy state interest as we can regarding Palestine. It is something we, as consumers, all have a hand in and given the ubiquity of the resources involved, a lot of us are caught off of guard by this premonition of the type of wars to come. This is that nasty intersection of neo-colonialism and hyper capitalism that pits the Global South against the Global North. It’s a war of sustaining a way of life means imposing slavery and genocide on others. This is an instance of global capitalism and hyper consumption as a lifestyle and convenience is being pitted against the humanity of those we deem expendable.

So about a month ago @yelpfic mention a genderbending fest, and while I loved the idea, I knew I may not be able to take time to draw anything for it (probably a wise decision, since the ES21 bingo came soon after that…)

Still this got me thinking and I reallyyyy wanted to draw genderbends for the Devil Bats, so here’s the first batch ! I’m hoping to do at least the 11 main members, + maybe Ishimaru ? We’ll see !

my advice for making art again after years of not making art when making art is intrinsic to who you are and also you feel like you Can't Do It Anymore

you have to find the door in your brain where the little guy lives who likes to make stuff and is insane. and then you have to open the door and let him out

at that point I typically listen to some music for five or six hours while the little man in my brain does insane things and then I come back and clean up and take care of human things. and he goes back into. the door

Distant Utopia - from ひきだしにテラリウム (Terrarium in a Drawer) by Ryoko Kui

now that Dungeon Meshi has an official English translation, i hope someday Kui’s other work will get translated too. this anthology was really good, and this story was one of my favorites

I do not see how my oppressor could sit in judgment on my response to his oppressive actions against me. He is in no position to render an impartial judgment or to accuse me of air piracy and hijacking when he has hijacked my home and hijacked me and my people out of our land. If the enemy defines morality and legality in his own terms and decides to apply his ethical and legal doctrines against me because he has the power as well as the means of communications to justify his inhumanity, I am under no moral obligation to listen, let alone obey his dictates. Indeed, I am under a moral obligation to resist and to fight to death the enemy's moral corruption. My deed cannot be evaluated without examining the underlying causes. The revolutionary deed I carried out on August 29, 1969 was an assertion of my spurned humanity, a declaration of the humanity of Palestinians. It was an act of protest against the West for its pro-Zionist (therefore anti-Palestinian) posture. The list of the sins of the West is overwhelming.

I'm begging other trans people to read an ounce of Black Feminist or Decolonialist Feminist writing. I'm on my hands and knees and begging you. I promise you, I promise you, there is so much more to Feminist theory than anything you have picked up from White/Radical/Pop/Liberal Feminism I promise you. Read There Is No Hierarchy Of Oppressions By Audre Lorde. I have a link to the PDF right here you can read it for free. Take my hand I can't do this alone (thanks glass beach). Peace And Love On Planet Earth.

#I've read white tears/brown scars #which is actually sooo excellent and like #took many things that I was either aware of or had a vague idea about #and put it all so succinctly into words #I need to read the others #to read #resources
