When he was with a client, he had to be careful not to use any of the forbidden words. Struggle, resist, rebel, queer—and a host of others—were considered too radical by the State and had been banned decades ago, replaced with more innocuous words such as 'to make effort ', 'to dispute' and 'to betray'. Queer, having passed through 'LGBTQIA+' at the turn of the century and 'Sexual and gender divergents' to decades later, now had no permissible equivalent that wasn't a slur. As the linguists working in the State knew very well, without a vocabulary to express it, there could be no concept. By banning the very idea of queerness, they hoped that the people themselves would also disappear.

Actually I think we should all collectively work harder at misunderstanding TLoZ canon and simping for Ganondorf and I'm not even kidding.

#thoughts #ganondorf #tloz #zelda fandom critical #it's actually fine to reject and/or reappropriate an extremely flawed intended reading lens #I'd say it's even advisable #tbh I'm still mad at how most people were completely oblivious to totk's undigested orientalism/islamophobia #or that it wasn't a discussion point in the mainstream AT ALL #even among colleagues who honestly should have known better #and that people in here breaching the topic with as much delicacy and patience as they could muster #led to *entire sideblogs* being created to deflect this perspective #to “correct the misinformation” :)

Liberal feminist observations of Barbie aren't entirely wrong. I think the doll as an aspirational vision of single womanhood instead of a tool to raise girls to be mothers does represent a culture shift. The problem is the claim that this was an altruistic feminist gesture, rather than an attempt to appeal to (and create!) a new consumer demographic. We could have the same discourse about LGBT pandering. I remember the rainbow Oreos ad from 2012 and thinking, whoa, can they do that? Drag me, but I was a teenager and the prospect was exciting. I still don't think it's wrong to say this reflected a shift in majoritarian opinion. But it's jarring that any old internet user can point out that this is just pandering, but we still get thinkpieces on the revolutionary feminist messaging of Mattel.

#if you want to reappropriate Barbie in a feminist way i won't say it's impossible. plastic can be molded into any shape. #but barbie is a toy with a button that makes her say 'math is hard'

'it's genocidal to call for an end of Israel where do you want us to go' stay where you are or don't, who gives a shit. you just can't be the only group represented in political authority. you just don't have the right to perform genocide or land capture. you just can't be the boot stamping on everyone else's necks. 🤷‍♀️

the state is not the people. if you don't want to leave Palestine live in Palestine. but Israel does not have a right to exist and you do not have a right to stand above others by the circumstances of your birth. you do not have a right to continue to profit from an ongoing genocide. you do not have a right to supremacy. you do not have a right to gain your comfort at the direct cost of thousands of lives next door. you do not have a right to be colonial overlords. you do not have a right to an ethnostate or a theocracy. you do not have the right to continue to sell on and pass on and profit from land and resources legally gatekept from everyone outside your specific group. you do not have a right to use immigration law to prevent people from returning to their homes while continuing to artificially cultivate a Jewish majority. you do not have a right to displace people to get what you want. you do not have a right to ownership. you have a right to live in safety but you don't have a right to pay in other people's lives for that. and you don't have a right to rule. and Israel does not have a right to exist.

Jews were in Palestine before 1914 and Jews will be in Palestine after Palestine is freed. but as equal citizens not as colonial overlords.

#red said #is it simple to examine stuff like the reappropriation of land and wealth given that we're 75 years out from the nakba? #no it's very not simple #is it simple to identify a difference between 'these people should not be the only group represented in government and law' #and 'these people should die or be driven into the wilderness'? YEAH IT IS DUDE. YOU ARE NOT THE STATE OF ISRAEL. #you are not your unearned power over others #fuck you for putting a hypothetical genocide of the people YOU think matter over a CURRENTLY HAPPENING genocide of CURRENTLY DYING people #trauma is trauma but how much imaginary devastation is worth a single actually real life let alone tens of thousands #how many Palestinian lives is it worth to you to allay your fears of harm potentially coming to your people? #30 000? 300 000? 3 000 000? for a hypothetical Israeli to avoid hypothetical retributive violence or hypothetical displacement? #you're a morally bankrupt piece of shit putting imaginary future harm up against the actual murders of the equivalent pop of whole cities #and you can wish for the end of Israel without wishing for the deaths or displacements of Jews. #thinking they're the same thing is at best confusing life with power

Here are some of my most recent pieces. I intentionally seek out bigoted books on the secondhand market and turn them into beautiful art as a means to change its spirit so it can no longer hurt anyone. This copy of Dianetics is now a celebration of queer love and beauty, emotion in motion, and transformation.



I've had my fair share of criticism on this project- that I'm defiling books for my own liberal agenda, that I'm pro-censorship, that I violate the basics of free speech. But the author is already dead and his books still print in the millions with the same damn psuedoscience that made him in 1950. I don't think that destroying one book, even if I destroy every copy I can get my hands on, will even make a dent in his legacy.

To view all of these, as well as other paintings made from racist and homophobic books, please take some time to visit my gallery here.

About 75 pages left in the damn book.

i don’t want crowley to demand aziraphale do the apology dance. i want aziraphale to push crowley into a chair and make him watch him do that stupid little dance. it feels more satisfying.

#1. considering the dates aziraphale says he’s done it it seems to me that for crowley the apology dance was more ‘say you did a stupid with #a stupid dancer’ meanwhile aziraphale reappropriates it to make crowley earn his forgiveness because he’s a bastard /pos so idk if it would #make sense for crowley to use the dance that way #2. the idea of asking for forgiveness is just more romantic than demanding an apology and i want them to kith #good omens

Having just researched Saint Patrick...we will never again celebrate his death anniversary. He was a fascist christian who slaughtered and displaced the indigenous Celtic population and he wasn't even Irish! from now on let us celebrate the festivities of Irish heritage...the shamrock does not signify the unholy trinity, but Faith, Love and Hope.

call me dramatic but im actually starting to get like. kind of sick to my stomach seeing ai art on pinterest

#while im trying to find inspiration from OTHER PEOPLE #im sorry lol i probably am being dramatic about this #and in a few years it probably wont matter anymore and this will be an overreaction #but at least right now #it feels like such a slap in the face that ive dedicated years of my life to this passion #and people are just now taking artists art without their permission #the pieces that some artists have spent DECADES drawing to finally be able to create #and just like that it can be stolen and reappropriated. #now im getting paranoid about someone calling out my art for being ai generated #because of stray marks or because of the emphasis i like to put at intersecting lines #IM SORRY but like a year ago i didnt HAVE the worry that art i see might be ai generated and stolen from hardworking artists! #are artists just going to have to deal with this forever now? #god.... #koi talk

Not dogs but I am convinced I need some new lamps (either floor, table or sconce type) in the living room bc I cannot stand having just one shitty overhead light. What do you think the likelihood I can convince mr d to go thrifting on Sunday is….hmmmm.

#not dogs #most furniture in my house is either #thrifted #gifted #hand me down #or roadside trash we’ve reappropriated lmao #I refuse to buy some boring new lamp too hinestly. #overhead too bright to be cozy #so it’s either that or complete darkness

lrb with that said, i have signficantly less patience for works of fiction that are full of white people (cast and crew) which have been given every possible opportunity and advantage to succeed and then drop the ball e.g. ghost in the shell (2017) is a failure that could only come of white fragility and hubris

on this flip side of that, no amount of racialized cast and crew can save the mcu or whatever the fuck star wars is doing.

#i do actually experience joy watching mediocre content by brown people #e.g. gi joe snake eyes there isnt a single line of decent dialogue in that movie i mean the writing isnt mediocre it is just Bad #but oh my god have i sat through that same ass movie with a bunch of white hooligans running around bastardizing 4 east asian cultures #sooooo we can be a lil silly with our own cultures as a treat #even if it is unintentional i am here for people bastardizing / rejecting / reappropriating their own culture
