conservative artists dismiss the skill and effort that goes into traditional art because of all the quality-of-life features that involve no skill, but just make things more convenient and less time-wasting

conservative gamers complain when games add quality of life features and reduce grinding because they say its "too easy" and players who like those features are skillless

older generations complain about the following generations "having it too easy" with newfound technology and call younger people lazy

it seems to me that falsely equating inconvenience and time-wasting with skill, and dismissing people for enjoying practicality is a universal human thing. make of that what you will

traditional art is such a wild concept, its like digital art but with tool durability and you can only get new tools or colours with microtransactions

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

yall do realize just because something has been a target of misogynistic criticism, that doesn't make stanning it completely uncritically in response some kind of revolutionary feminist praxis. right.

#its like i always say #dont blame me for not liking a (minority) thing #blame the people who made it for making a bad (minority) thing

To be fucking honest with you if your reaction to trans women telling you transmascs are part of the problem, or using transfeminist language is to ignore whatever shes saying then you are not "going to bat for" or "supporting" or "loving" trans women. What you are doing is exactly what every misogynist has done to feminists, telling us to shut up and stop talking about your contributions to our oppression because it makes you uncomfortable

i feel like people have forgotten that “dont compare peoples suffering” means “suffering is valid even if someone else has it worse”, not “we shouldnt acknowledge the differences in how bad people are treated”

there should be no stigma against saying someone who is blind has it worse than someone who cant smell. it doesnt mean the one who cant smell doesnt struggle, and it doesnt mean they dont need help. its just factually true, and helps each person get the exact help they need

another prominent example: saying “trans men and trans women suffer just as much” is disingenuous. trans women are consistently treated worse than their trans male peers wherever they go, often BY trans men.

trans men have problems too, but the truckload of discrimination, violence, censorship and other problems trans girls suffer on a daily basis, by cis people AND other trans people, is demonstrably far harsher.

this is why “transmisogyny” refers exclusively to hatred against trans women, and it should stay that way. its a kind of discrimination that needs its own term more than any other.

you cannot fight for the rights of the oppressed without acknowledging the differences between them. its the classic “equality vs equity” debate: some people do suffer more, and need more help because of it. denying it is a matter of victim complex at best, and actively oppressing those you deem “lower” than you at worst.

platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine

Sudan still desperately needs aid--it needs a lot of things, but it is approaching a dangerous point with famine and mass death due to hunger imminent.

These are the kinds of headlines we're getting now:

Here's an ongoing fundraiser:

I linked it before, to help with Ramadan, but it's an ongoing initiative, the need has not stopped.

I picked this gofundme because it's been boosted by people I trust and you can see pictures online of the food they've provided, e.g.:

But I also picked this because you can see the amount of donations. It's 2pm ET on Saturday, April 20th right now? For the next week, whatever's donated, I'll match for a total up to $2,000 (we'll say 2,750 CAD, since the gofundme is in Canadian dollars).

You don't have to send me a receipt, I just ask that you donate and boost.
