Best of 2023 Music #26: U2 “Walk On (Ukraine)”

U2 has had many hits. This year we saw a compilation album full of new versions of their classic and most recent jams.

The standout belongs to this simple acoustic version with switched out lyrics revolving around the ongoing Ukraine War and how Bono performed this in shelters.

A jam still the same.

SUM 22: Bono reworks the classics from U2 with this years compilation album with this new version of Walk On being the standout.

#u2 #songs of surrender #walk on Ukraine #u2 walk on #bono #the edge #best of 2023 #music #26 #tie #and if the comic takes the stage #I know I’ll laugh #stand up for freedom #all that you can’t leave behind #Youtube #Spotify

on twitter, a viral thread started where people around the world shared their translations of “If I must die”, the last work of Dr Refaat Alareer also known as "the voice of Gaza". A beloved poet, teacher and life-long activist for Palestine, he was recently assassinated along with members of his extended family by a targeted Israeli air strike. His loss leaves a hole in the heart of palestinians all over the world.

Below the cut, I’ll be posting the translations of his poem, with links to the original posts. Unfortunately, tumblr limits posts to a maximum of 30 images. I will update when I can.

#probably one of the most beautiful threads to ever grace twitter's rotten husk of a platform #i really earnestly almost cried #when people say the world stands with palestine #they mean they speak with palestine as well #israel murders palestinian poets to silence their voice. their culture. their lifeblood #in response the world amplifies his voice tenfold #but what a loss #what an unforgivable loss #i hope it is some consolation to those who loved refaat that his words are now immortalised in languages all over the world #that he has united so many people in their pursuit of palestinian freedom #please please please feel free to add your own translations onto the post in reblogs #i just havent seen anything about this thread on tumblr yet #im just the messenger #palestine will be free #the words of refaat alareer will be immortalised #and his students will carry on his legacy #ah but it is almost 5am and i havent slept #when i wake up i will add more #free palestine #israel #refaat alareer #rest in peace

What If: Captain America Were Revived Today? #44 (April 1983) by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema; Original Image by John Romita Sr.

In this What If? Marvel tale, Captain America is unfrozen in 1983 rather than the 1960s. Without the leadership of Steve Rogers, The Avengers disband. Meanwhile, a Captain America imposter, who calls himself a "real American," has decided to use his newfound influential media status to publicly support a National Identity Card to "deal with illegal aliens,” to suggest that members of civil rights groups "ought to think seriously as to whether or not their actions contribute to the strengthening of communist enemies," and declare that if those groups tear the country apart with protests, martial law is justified "for the peace to find a solution.”

Neighborhoods with large black populations (e.g., Harlem) are walled off and forced into poverty, and one character even mentions that Jewish people are being “put back into camps.” The right-wing politicians make sure that things like this aren’t shown on television, keeping the majority of the American public ignorant of the horrors committed with their indifferent support. The public are simultaneously told that with some sacrifices, America can be free once again. The fake Captain America confronts a group of peaceful protestors, and he is shot by a sniper (in what reads like an inside job), allowing the police to have “reason” to attack the protestors. The imposter does not die and instead uses the attack to provide more reason for the violent crackdown against protesting groups.

When the true Captain America is unfrozen, he is horrified to see what America has become, especially with his emblem stamped all over it. He immediately seeks out the resistance forces (who clearly represent the Black Panther Party) and joins their cause, stating that "the wrongs [he's] seen will take much more than one man to right -- but [he's] got a name to clear, a costume to unsoil-- and a country to die for!!"

By the time Steve joins them, the resistance only has one chance left to stop the American downfall: a political convention where the "America First" party will be able to secure its support to sweep the national elections and allow them "to return America to the pure and great nation [the] forefathers envisioned."

The resistance strikes just as the convention begins. The Captain America imposter is no match in a fight against the true Captain America -- especially against a Steve Rogers who's fucking pissed. ("Get up so I can knock you down!!")

With the imposter knocked unconscious, Captain America addresses the convention crowd, warning that an America that does not represent all its people does not deserve to exist at all; that liberty can be "as easily snuffed out [in America] as in Nazi Germany" and "as a people, we are no different from them."

The crowd realizes that the man speaking before them is the true Captain America and cheers. Captain America holds his hand up and silences them, stating that he will not allow them the chance to simply replace one idol with another. He alone can’t undo the horrible damage, and he pleads that there’s still a chance for the people to “find America once again.”

Fascism doesn’t change its tune, just its singers.

#captain america #Steve Rogers #hand embroidery #fuck fascism #if you don't think cap says 'trans rights' then you're a fascist #i reread the issue to write the summary and it is a powerful stand-alone story #40 years later and still relevant #a part of me was worried that it wouldn't translate well to current events and.... welp #the commissioner asked that i make one minor change of 'freedom of all men' to 'freedom of all people' #i think that is a very appropriate update and i think 2023 cap (and good cap writer) would support the change #i know this is a super long post with a lot of image text -- if someone wrote Image ID text for me I'd be super grateful and i'll reblog it! #embroidery art #textile arts #embroidery #needlework #needlecraft #comics #mixed media #my work #also just let it be known that the first thing steve rogers says when he wakes up is: #'all right nazis! what have you done with Bucky?!' #(the Bucky in the issue is a fake too) #(the real Bucky will still be dead for another 20 years :(((((( )

Dana White Says He Replaced the Pelotons in His Gym w/ Another Brand That Supports Free Speech

"What I don't like is when you have a company or a group of people...coming in and telling you what to do with your f*cking business. 'You need to do this and you need to do that, or we're going to pull our sponsorship.' Well, you can pull your sponsorship and you can take every f*cking dollar of your money and roll it up into a little ball and you can shove it right up your f*cking a**. That's what you can do." 🤔

Sometimes avant-garde art films with themes you’re supposed to figure out on your own aren’t actually “bad” & you’re just upset America Ferrera didn’t stand up in the middle of it to explain what the movie is about.

#this is in regards to ‘Poor Things’ #people are calling it a Bad Feminist Frankenstein movie #like girl you either didn’t watch it or couldn’t get it #because it involved you using your brain to discern the themes which were right in front of you #don’t call it trash because you were frustrated it didn’t hold you hand #If Poor Things is too hard to understand then start with an easier film #like Barbie movie #films #art #poor things #i loved this #this movie is literally about the female experience #sexuality #bodily autonomy #freedom #exploring the world from girl to woman #the men you encounter from the father to the fuckboy to the abusive asshole you stand up to #it’s right there #emma stone #willam dafoe #mark ruffalo #art film #queue are so beautiful to me

I know it's just what the slaver enemy type is programmed to say, but I have very strong feelings about the ones during A Bitter Pill telling the others to "keep the pretty ones alive."

Like. If you're Fenris, already at your limit in what you can handle emotionally today, and you hear the ones who'd drag you back to a fate worse than death saying that about the few friends you've managed to cobble together in your sparse years of freedom...man. I've been thinking about this for days and I don't have any sort of conclusion here.

#i think the fenhawke angle makes it worse of course #like it's worse to hear that about someone you love #but it's awful regardless #i think i might need to write about this because i can't stop thinking about it #and the fact that he sets you up for an ambush when you meet but you face one down together for this quest on his behalf #and because of that you are forced to face the most awful parts of his life being potentially visited upon you as well #double or nothing so to speak #god he is just so!!!! #i am putting him in the stand mixer and flipping the switch #half the time i write these things and i fewl like the last drunk in the bar sobbing to the bartender #hello is anyone listening?? fenris is a free man but in freedom he's only found more to lose T.T #fenris #da2 #dixeram

Raha Ajoudani is an Iranian 17 year old trans women and activist who has been arrested by the Islamic Republic for protesting for her basic human rights. Because she's still early in her transition, she will be tried as a gay man, which is punishable with execution.

The global LGBTQ community HAS to have her back now. Say her name to save her life. Blow her up on every social media platform you can thing of, make tweets, share on ig, anything. Make her viral.

#stand up for your trans siblings stand up for your iranian siblings #if you ever considered yourself an ally or even just a good person you wont be silent #i can't highlight enough the danger she is in we have to be loud #if you've never reblogged any of my posts before reblog this one #say her name to save her life #say her name #raha ajoudani #iran #mahsa amini #iran revolution #iran revolusion 2022 #zan zendegi azadi #women life freedom #iranian lives matter #iran news #islamic republic of iran #mine

i feel like an incredible hater for this but i feel as i get older the more my tolerance for shipping decreases. like i went from an avid enjoyer to just tolerating ship art to now getting outright upset and fighting the urge to curse every time i see shipping content (this doesnt apply to my mutuals and friends who ship things because they can do no wrong ever)

#idk why it boils my blood like that. like genuinely it makes my online enjoyment really take a steep nosedive since 99.9% of any fandom- #content is shipping #maybe its the hater in me. maybe its the aroace tendencies in me. maybe im just antisocial and disagreeable. idk! #like shipping isnt morally bad or anything it just makes me so sad. idk #like ppl always prioritize romance over friendship and make fun of friendships as if they arent gay enough or smth and it rlly hurts me. id #like idk how to say it. everyone can have fun and stuff but it rlly makes me feel like im having fun wrong bc shipping looks fun but i cant #stomach it. like i miss having fun like that but i cant stand it anymore #like friendships r so devalued and even in frienship is magic type media friendships STILL take a backseat like whats up with that #like i hope this isnt coming across like a “i hate romance! i hate love!” kind of post but more so a why dont ppl focus on characters if - #they cant be romantically involved? #like i will alwaayyss be bitter abt willow from toh getting sidelined until she could be shipped with hunter like that pissed me off so bad #but like ur fave characters cant stand alone they neeeed to be romantically involved with someone for their love or dedication to be real #like love and dedication cant be genuine unless theyre romantically or sexually attracted? idk man #talking abt this is tricky bc u can fall into anti-sex/conservative rhetoric with this but i hope u can understand what im saying #like sex is great and romantic love is great but i wish the greater public would just have some freedom to explore concepts of dedication- #and trust that go beyond that framework. like there was a comment on reddit that framed aroace as the nonbinary of relationships and I- #thought that was really neat. yeah

Can't stop thinking about Astarion bemoaning the fact he's not bathed in days combined with the whole vampires can't cross running water thing.

Is there a perfectly good lake at camp? Yes.

Can he go near it? He... well, he's not sure, now you mention it.

#scroll of lexposting #baldur's gate 3 #astarion #[illithid power] roll up your pant legs and stand in the lake #okay seriously though can you imagine that on top of the freedom? the sunlight not killing you? being able to cross thresholds uninvited? #bg3 spoilers #only for minor banter but still i know #some people want to go in absolutely blind 😌
