So this is definitely a case of "we did not expect Harvard to fight back and we forgot they have billions of dollars and the best lawyers"
Voldemort: Harry Potter is dead.
Harry: hi
Voldemort: I killed you.
Harry: i got better lol
Voldemort: This isn't fair. Do you know how hard I worked to become immortal? Do you know how many YEARS of effort I put into this? How many people I killed? How many things I did to myself? IT TOOK ME THIRTEEN YEARS TO COME BACK AFTER I GOT HIT BY A KILLING CURSE! I DON'T EVEN HAVE A NOSE ANYMORE. AND YOU DID IT IN FIVE MINUTES??!?!? And you still have your nose! HOW??!!?!!!
Harry: idk. love maybe? it's not super clear lol

“Appeal to a wider audience” is corporate lingo for “strip more themes from a piece of media so it’s safer and more sanitized for investors”
no, but if you think about it, for all that he had going for him, hades was very generous.
like look at the argo ii crew: three of them survived tartarus (nico, annabeth, percy), three of them came back from the dead (hazel, leo, jason), and one of them burned his literal lifeline and didn't die (frank).
Hind's Hall is a dope song, its been age restricted and censored by youtube because of course, but its a good song but also is a scathing diss on just the whole system that allows for such violence to take place and ignores it.
Also all the proceeds of the song go to UNRWA.

Macklemore is at least one musician I can say I respect.
The thing is that getting Palestine free is both very difficult but not as difficult as getting South Africa free. South Africa had more resources than Israel does, it could hold out so much longer and still the apartheid was ended by people working tirelessly and boycotting and pushing for divestment and sanctions. These methods will work for freeing Palestine too.
I know it doesn't feel like there have been many successes, but all the politicians are feeling the pressure. Pressure that we are able to sustain and even increase as we come up with new initiatives and convince new people to join.
One of the reasons they're resisting our pressure so strongly is because they know that when we see gains we will push harder, we will continue to push until the stones falling becomes a rock fall and Palestine's freedom is secured. They know if we get a taste of the power we can wield we'll turn that onto freeing Congo too. They know we're unhappy and have been for a long time and their very secure system starts to look a lot less secure when we start mobilising to change things.
It's insane how casually the calls to end a genocide, not just the students in Columbia University but pro Palestinian views in general, are labelled as terrorists. The audacity to still publicly support Israel's actions even after the horrific bombings these last months and then turn around to say that the ones who oppose it are violent anti semites is just baffling
