Saw some funny redraws of @unpeeled-human 's comic panels and it really reminded me of how every spirit in the first season reacted to Mob.
#me watching a criminal justice major who wants to be a cop use chatgpt for her assignments
#not that being a cop is inherently a good thing anyways but using AI to do your writing assignments about if someone should be imprisoned or sent to get professional help is perhaps even worse
"i don't care if they make their whole way though uni with chatgpt" i think you guys are so internetpilled that you have forgotten there are actual jobs out there that require people to know what they are doing in any way possible or else people die
if sinners (2025) taught me anything, it's that it IS actually always about race.
you can be oppressed, and still promote and maintain the very same systems of oppression onto other marginalized people. being oppressed in one dimension doesn't allow you to be exempt from oppressing in other dimensions. the "villain" of the movie, remmick, being from the time period of the english colonization of ireland, all the while wanting to take a piece of sammie's own culture from him, use him for it. and this plot point coming after remmick witnesses the significance of sammie's playing within his culture, for his ancestors and how it would shape Black culture in the future.
even in today's society, ive noticed that people treat Black people like a commodity. our worth is only as much as other people decide it to be, and that's usually dependent on how much the oppressor can take from us. for example, the controversy of"internet slang" and how it is blatantly just AAVE with a bad disguise on
do you listen to Black musicians? do you watch Black movies? do you engage with Black creators? do you defend the racist tendencies you notice in your friends, in your family, or do you stay silent? do you listen when Black people tell you you've said or done something racist? do you actually care about not being racist, or do you just not want to look like you're racist?
i just think people have a very specific take on what racism is, and that if they're not committing KKK-levels of violence on people, then they're not racist. or if you've experienced oppression in one form, you cannot possibly be engaging with oppression in another form. but the ways in which we interact with other people and the world will always be through the lens of race, because that is simply what it means for oppression to be systemic, especially in the US and our current political climate
anyway 10/10 movie. highly recommend
I think very deliberately calling a trans man a "stupid bitch"/"dumb cunt"/"hysterical"/"whiney" (especially when that person never uses such language for cis men) is coded misgendering. Transmascs, I think you should get angrier about it.
I've noticed that when people don't know I'm intersex and think I'm just a regular cis guy, they will almost never use such language for me, even if they hate my guts. That changes the second they learn I'm intersex + have some "female" sex traits (uterus, & breasts notably), or if they believe I'm a trans man.
It is 100% targeted. You aren't overreacting.
and you know jayce talis is alive & well out there, somewhere. taking backshots
"Morticia and Gomez are T4T" "Jessica and Roger Rabbit are T4T" sure sure whatever but I GENUINELY cannot see Seymour and Audrey as anything other than T4T. What cis man is named Seymour????
They're wanting to change the definition of water to see which water would qualify under the Clean Water Act...I wish I was making this up.
What this means, in layman's terms, is that not all water or wetlands would be under environmental protections, so some could legally be dumped in, scraped out of, or otherwise harmed.
The comment period for this is pretty short (just a few days left!) so please submit comments asking for ALL water to be protected.
