#who decides

[secondbeatsongs]

I know this has been posted about before, but I’m dying over Blizzard’s new “diversity space tool”

this is actually the funniest and most tone-deaf thing I’ve seen in a while, and that’s really saying something, considering this is Blizzard!

it kinda explains it on the page I linked, but I guess the point of this is to see how far they're deviating from the basic "straight white male" character type. but here's the thing...what exactly do these numbers mean?

like...why is “Egyptian” a seven? what makes it have that number? who decided that "Egyptian" is exactly seven steps away from whatever they think the "default" is, when it comes to nationality? and why are we still treating diversity like this in 2022??

and while we're here, can I see the other options under “Cognitive Ability” please? I feel like the wording they use would really help me understand this better.

and “Physical Ability”, too! what are the other Blizzard-approved disabilities? I need to know this, for science!

oh, and let's not forget gender! if "Woman" is a 5, does that mean "Man" is a 0? and what would a 10 be? I desperately need to know what would be considered a 10.

actually, could they just send me a download of this tool? I really want to know my own personal Blizzard Diversity Score™. I feel like that would help me.

god, this is just like those “Check Your Privilege!” quizzes from 10 years ago. reducing complex ideas down into simple numbers that can't ever show the full picture.

#blizzard #overwatch #IDs in alt text #personal #this is hilarious to me #because like #could this tool be useful to check for situations where you're making too many characters into a stereotype? #sure #for blizzard I'm sure this tool is very helpful #as a friend of mine said #using a sketchy method #to create things that people want #but like...don't post about it?? #don't make a proud blog post showing exactly how you've judged specific races genders and abilities? #like my god #who decides #who decided that woman is 5 #who decided that arab is 7 #if you're going to make bad decisions #at least keep them private #for god's sake

twelve hour naps are wonderful for the psyche, even if unintentional x

#what is the definition of a 'nap' anyway? #who decides

aaron bushnell knew exactly what he was doing. he states his intentions with total lucidity and sense of purpose. he knows what he's about to do is extreme--he says so. he speaks calmly, but he's clearly terrified. he takes a deep breath after pouring the accelerant over himself. he has to psyche himself up to light the flame. he struggles with the lighter. he says "free palestine" normally once before he starts to scream it. even through his agony he manages to say it one last time before he stops being able to speak at all. this is a man with total conviction. he wanted to help people, in any way possible. this action was a moral one, and any news outlet painting this as simply a mental health issue is a disservice to his memory. he knew what he was doing when he burned himself in uniform. he knew that there was a chance that sacrificing his own life could go on to save many others. this was the ultimate act of selflessness, and it should be treated as such. may he rest in peace.

#death tw #aaron bushnell #I know I'm not adding anything to the conversation. but I watched the uncensored version of the footage and it won't ever leave my mind. #I do caution anyone who decides to watch the video blurred or not. his screams are not something easily forgotten #free palestine

David Tennant being a lifelong Doctor Who fan who was inspired by the show to act, becoming the Doctor and Ncuti Gatwa who watched David Tennant and was inspired to act, playing the Doctor opposite David’s Doctor is the most beautiful thing

#This is a fanboy moment of immense proportions #Also they are both so silly it’s perfect #Dw spoilers #Doctor who #david tennant #ncuti gatwa #10th doctor #14th doctor #15th doctor #I’m just thinking of “I saw a regeneration scene on tv aged 3 and decided to be an actor” tennant #And ‘I watched David Tennant”s hamlet before drama school and realized that’s what an actor should be and what I should aspire to” ncuti #And that hug is so wholesome #it’s really come full circle #Also we can’t forget Mel for being the no 1 hype woman there

large zionist blocklist below

i've compiled a list of all the blogs positively interacting with the @/israel-palestine-bingo blog

there's more info about how the names were complied under the read more, but just to get an idea of how vile the blog is, i just want to quickly mention that the first prize offered in their pinned post, "eight hours of memi mamtera," is the song used in the viral israeli tiktok trend of kidnapping, humiliating, and torturing palestinians in the west bank.

and the "grand prize," which needs no explanation, is "all of palestine! for free!"

some quick info: all the names here have either approvingly replied to, reblogged from, or liked one or more of @/israel-palestine-bingo's posts. for likes, i've only gathered names that appear under their original posts; mostly ones that have not been reblogged, and some with 2-3 reblogs that have not left the immediate sphere of zionists. i've also made sure that these are blogs who have either liked more than one posts from them, or who frequently reblogs from other zionists.

you can also quickly look through the blog yourself (it doesn't have that many posts), or check out any of the names on the list with a quick 'israel' or 'palestine' in the search bar or their blogs.

there are more screenshots at the end of the posts, including ones showing who made the blog (ani-lo-daredevil / katenotbishop), and the bingo board itself (ashenpumpkin).

blocking tip: fastest way to mass block users (on desktop) is to go to settings -> the blog your blocking them from -> scroll all the way down to 'blocked tumblrs,' and then copy-paste the name your blocking

names listed below in alphabetical order reminder again, block don't engage

the companion will go oh god doctor who is that?? and the doctor will get all serious and somber and say listen. he's the most evil creature in the universe. he's the worst enemy i've ever faced. he's horrible and unpredictable and you can never ever let your guard down. and then the villain will walk into the room like this

Corporatocracy and why it matters

I don’t know if you read Chris Hedges or not, I subscribe to his podcast on Substack. Some of his articles This article is my response to his recent post titled, The Chris Hedges Report Podcast with former Financial Times reporter Matt Kenner about his book “Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy.” In the podcast Chris refers to authors Claire Provost and Matt Kennard and information…

The absolute silence today is gut wrenching. Leaflets were dropped on the west bank telling palistinians to go to Jordan. Last time they told them to go south and they got bombed. Everything about Palestine has suddenly dropped off trending and we know that staff has been suppressing the tags #free palestine and #palestine. Now its has to be every single tag that was trending, because i just simply do not believe we stopped talking about it over night. I feel so hopeless about this shit but the only thing we can do rn is to not stop talking. We have to stop trying to bury our heads in the sand and keep posting as if it was normal because its not normal. Palestinians don't get a break from the horror, the least we can do for them is to make sure their suffering isn't silent.

#palestine #free palestine #gaza #free gaza #israel #west bank #For anyone looking for a source on the leaflets check my reblog #anyone who decides to start shit on this post is getting an automatic block idc #tags are trending again so let me note that yesterday (thurday) they were no where to be seen on trending untill late last night
