La'Ron Readus' excellent video essay, highly recommended! Summary:

The Black Reclamation of the Body Snatchers || Jordan Peele’s Get Out is a great addition to the horror genre surrounding body snatchers, because it highlights body snatchers' roots to whiteness instead of the anti-communist propaganda that the 1956 film “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” tried to say it originally stood for. So I explain how body snatcher horror better reflects the evolution of whiteness to Americanization, how it uses racism and respectability politics to claim the bodies and cultures of black people and other people of color, and how Get Out is a better reflection of the loss of individualism because of that fact.

The perfect film to precede The White Reindeer (Erik Blomberg, 1952), available on MUBI, is Jean Epstein’s short released five years prior, Le Tempestaire (1947), which is still free to see in a stunning restoration on the Cinémathèque française’s online platform Henri.

Both black-and-white films center on a young woman who, in the absence of her fiancé / husband, hopes to find comfort in some form by seeking the help of a local tempest / shaman channeling (or claiming to channel) the old gods. In awe of nature's potential power, these women are drawn to its beauty yet horrified by its mysterious force. Their stories, based on pre-Christian traditional beliefs and told with little dialogue, become cautionary tales. There’s an underlying current of a search for passion and freedom, through the storm and the hunt, and consequently a loss of innocence. It's lyrical cinema at its finest. Two profound poems of sea and snow.

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

#for adblocking--ublock origin is my favorite but adblocker plus is also popular #also i once again highly recommend using firefox especially on mobile #to enable adblock on firefox mobile just click 3 dot menu > addons > addon manager > enable uBlockOrigin #that's for android i assume it's similar for iOS #update it is NOT similar for iOS bc Apple hates you. i'll write another post later #anyway. PLEASE USE AN ADBLOCK ALL THE TIME (except for specific websites you want to support) #your internet browsing experience will be so enormously improved #also on firefox if you want to get past a paywall click the 'Toggle reader view' button as soon as the page loads #(it's on the right of the taskbar. a little rectangle with horizontal lines) #works for most news sites by showing you the webpage text that is hidden under the 'you've run out of free articles' popup #doesn't work for everything but it's worth a shot

Interesting (and at times critical) documentary on Volodymyr Zelensky from his run for the presidency to the early days of Putin's invasion. The main criticisms being that he was initially too timid on cracking down on corruption, he elevated colleagues to government positions they were unqualified for, and he overpromised on ending the war in the east due to underestimating Putin's willingness to go full Putin. It's refreshing to see reporting that neither uncritically hero-worships nor assumes the worst about him.

This is the SpeakOut Summer Institute talk I attended yesterday, forwarded to 32:24 for the first speaker, Loretta Ross, on effective solidarity in human rights movements. I kept trying to take notes on my favorite parts, but it was all of it. If you have time and if you do intersectional social justice or human rights work, I highly recommend this.

I just want you guys to remember that the reason why some “progressive” Zionists now identify as indigenous to Israel is that they are trying to de-legitimatize Palestinian claims of settler colonialism because, according to them, “you can’t colonize a place you’re indigenous to”. No Zionist identified with being Indigenous prior to like 2014, they very openly identified with colonial powers (they still do), and additionally they have no idea what indigenous means. Calling Israel a “successful landback movement” is outrageous.

Ziggy has videos on Tiktok that explain everything that’s wrong with this rhetoric I’ll leave them here (in order) : Video 1, video 2, video 3

Also watch Notorious Kasamang Anna video on indigeniety and settler colonialism because they explain the entire definition of both (and also elaborate more on how Zionism has never been an indigenous rights movement): https://youtu.be/9H99j6wdxDI

#honestly watching these conversations as someone who’s both Palestinian & native is just. #it melts my brain #anti zionisim #I started learning about indigeniety and what it actually meant in like 2021 and it kinda reshaped how I view everything #including myself #I recommend it for everyone indigenous or not 🙏🏽 #Youtube

I wish the anime had a budget bigger than three hay pennies because there's actually a lot of stuff I seriously enjoy and one of them is what I like to call the "parallels sequence" in the second opening between Phoenix and Maya and Phoenix and Edgeworth.

Love it.
