i’m always saying “eminently”

#half the time i’m probably not even using it with the right nuance

it’s really funny to me that on my first read of gideon the ninth i went in only having been told that it was a rollicking corny-quip-filled space adventure with toxic lesbians, and so i think this primed me for entirely the wrong impression - for example i was surprised and a little disappointed that gideon and harrow were just 18 and 17 cause i was like ummm i wanted horny adult women toxic yuri??? and i took all of gideon’s posturing about how much her life sucks as, like, edgy dramatic humor. and i think this is eminently helped by gideon being such a convincing unreliable narrator that when she talks about how her life sucks in a jokey way you’re just going to take it at face value and be like ah i see, it’s joke, it’s just the edgy setting. it wasn’t until after i read the book and went to go find tumblr posts about it and saw people referring to gideon as a self-hating teenager with a deeply abusive upbringing that i was like wait… hang on… she kinda is huh… which is insane to me bc now it’s obviously like duh, of course she is and so is harrow. but these books are so good at sucking you into the pov characters’ biases

@vault-33 just got out the hospital with more cysts on its spleen and we could use some help getting the OTC meds it needs to keep comfortable until they can be drained. Splenic cysts are extremely painful and causing a rapid heart rate and terrible chest pain.

Anything helps 👍

The student protests for Palestine have been an amazing show of solidarity and support and seeing thr way that so many young people are willing to stand up for their values is admirable when so many others stay silent. But this is all to say that we are entering a pattern of glorifying these white “martyrs” from the global west to put all of this effort and resources and media coverage into instead of the actual cause they are fighting for.

I saw the same thing happen with Aaron Bushnell, when his self immolation was being talked about more than the actual genocide in Gaza (which went against everything he said he was self immolating for in the first place).

And again this happened with the prisoner from the US who worked 136 hours just to be able to donate his $17 check to Palestine aid efforts. In response to this, people wanted to help him and ended up raising over $100,000 in a gofundme for him. This feels almost satirical, as every gofundme to help Gazans evacuate Palestine and get to safety has a goal of less than $100,000 and most of them are not even close to reaching it.

And now, there are more and more posts on how to get aid to the college student encampments, and the “urgency” of getting enough bail funds for the students who have been arrested during them. Talking about Palestine itself and getting resources to Palestine has almost been put on the back burner in favour of making all Palestine related news about college students in the United States.

It think it is valuable to recognise the selflessness and importance of these protests, and getting these students resources but what is MORE important, and what these people are truly fighting for, and protesting, and make a statement about is PALESTINE. We have unsurprisingly reached the point where there are people who care much more about the white people fighting for the cause from the comfort of living in the global west than they care about the Palestinians undergoing a genocide in Gaza. It’s become almost blatant racism, the way people begin to drop everything the second a white/usamerican person does something in regards to helping Palestine, but will not put the same effort into a Palestinian IN Gaza who is telling their story or asking for help. I respect anyone who has done absolutely anything to help Palestine, but I hope people are starting to see the pattern of how the media gravitates towards the “white saviour/perfect martyr” instead of the first hand accounts coming from those in Gaza.

Anyway FIND A GOFUNDME AND DONATE TO HELP FAMILIES IN GAZA ESCAPE GENOCIDE

i understand the impulse to point out hypocrisy of conservatives/liberals/fascists/etc but at a certain point we have to let that shit go. they don't care. they are just evil

[pleuvoire]

it's not that i don't think warning people against someone who abused you, or a racefaker, or something like that isn't worthwhile but i think that coming out with a bunch of defenses about the sanctity of callouts specifically when the last several months have seen a bunch of flimsy transmisogynistic accusations of sexual predatoriness is some rather useless timing to take that stance

[pleuvoire]

and do they succeed at promoting community safety? who is kept safe?

#i'm not even a hardcore ''callouts are always bad'' guy but people saying stuff like this always sounds stupid as hell #especially in the wake of tons of bogus ''this trans woman is a sex pest'' callouts just recently
