@mouthyjen One of these is a masterpiece of anti-Capitalist literature that demonstrates the importance of solidarity between oppressed peoples, and comments on the exploitation of the working class. The other is Das Kapital by Karl Marx

@bf_for_thenight wow so she still called home that house in Nebraska where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor……

kim growing up in nebraska and jimmy ending up in nebraska when he lives as gene will never not be devastating to me btw. i wonder how often he thought maybe kim would move back to her home state. maybe he thought about the crossing paths.

@Maroxad @SlLENTPRINCESS No, but what I was saying is that those are distinct “African” cultures. People who were enslaved and their descendants may not know which African culture their ancestors were taken from.

@hgwarrender @SlLENTPRINCESS The concept of "Black Culture" or "African Culture" is incredibly ignorant too for that matter. Are people trying to tell me that Mbuti, Egypt, Nigeria, Mali, Hamer, Kenya, Bedouin, Masaai, Ashanti, Yoruba, Mbenga, Kuba, Zulu and Xhosa all belong to one culture?

reverse racism in the zelda franchise and the problem of white culture appropriation — an educative thread 🧵

@SlLENTPRINCESS The reason why there is “Black culture” is because many African-Americans are descended from slaves. They do not know their ancestry because that was stolen from them. So they developed a culture unique to them as Black people. That’s why you can say so but not “White culture”

@SlLENTPRINCESS as a certified White there is no such thing as “white culture.” There are different cultures that are predominantly white. There are Celtic cultures, for instance; there is Italian culture, there are Slavic cultures, there is English culture. There is no one “White” culture

@ikisnick Whenever a woman becomes successful and demonstrates artistic prowess there’s always an ugly gay man talking shit about her. Go back to posting ur nudes for free and leave that woman alone.

listening to raye and it's music for zoomers who are spiritually millennial i don't know how to explain this

@Bryce_Estelle Bc she’s mother

I still wonder why she made that face when she sat down

A major remake of ‘THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME’ is reportedly releasing this year. (Source: videogameschronicle.com/news/sources-n…)

FUCK YOU if youre not even reposting whats going on right now. trans people in india, THE MOST POPULATED QUEER NATION, are illegal now. ILLEGAL. you will get arrested if you are yourself. RAPE IS LESS OF A CRIME THAN BEING TRANSGENDER IS IN INDIA. SPEAK UP FOR THOSE WHO CANT

I’m withholding all criticisms of the new Lord of the Rings movie just in case they include the scene from Unfinished Tales where Elanor Gamgee is basically like “dad you were totally in love with Frodo right”

@hiiisteph I listened to the audiobook. I thought her writing was fine for what it was tryingto be, but her narration killed the audiobook. It felt completely detached which is weird for something so personal.

A former Nickelodeon star is a really great writer but very clearly hasn’t healed from her childhood trauma 😭 I hope by writing she heals pieces of her because woof her fiction debut was… a lot

@_ANDSTFU In New York if you ask someone where to go to get food they’ll bring you to their cousin’s restaurant and get you the family discount all while insulting you for your outfit

I’m a New Yorker—we’re rude too but it’s usually bc some1 did something dumb like standing in the middle of the sidewalk. It’s usually warranted & v direct. Southerners will say“ma’am”, “sir”, “honey” right after saying the most indirect, sarcastic thing u heard in your life 😭

Hot take: Southern hospitality is a myth. You guys are very sarcastic and oddly unkind in situations where it’s not really warranted.

@SketchesbyBoze It’s not a joke, the idea that the red book was written by Bilbo and Frodo is core to the Lore of lord of the rings. It’s diegetic too, in The Hobbit Tolkien as the translator addresses the audience directly

In the appendix to The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien claims (jokingly) that the book is a translation into English of the Red Book of Westmarch written by Bilbo and Frodo, and that he had translated various names to sound more English. Frodo’s actual name is Maura Labingi.

anyways

At first, I thought each square represented one child killed in Gaza. But each square actually represents TEN children.

@Portomechant @SlLENTPRINCESS The video they linked is a great starting point, it has educational sources about the history of orientalism

@SlLENTPRINCESS Can someone educate me on why this is so bad while taking in consideration that i am a complete idiot

orientalism is indeed racism, yes

@SlLENTPRINCESS This video was really good and well researched shoutout to the creators

this violet edit just drove a stake through my heart. watch at your own risk.

@JurgenHabanera @comicstosteal @politicalmath AI in 2020 and AI in 2026 were two completely different things.

@hgwarrender @comicstosteal @politicalmath He signed an agreement before he died allowing his likeness to be used for AI, and he approved of his voice being added with AI to Top Gun: Maverick.

After Philip Seymour Hoffman died, the director of the Hunger Games still had 2 scenes of dialogue for his character They played with the idea of doing a CGI version but rejected it because they felt that PSH always brought something unique and unexpected to every performance & creating a CGI version of him would be betraying his creative genius They re-wrote the movie in order to give his character's lines to another character because it wasn't dignified to create a fake version of him

@powcampsurvivor @nekosattva_chan No you actually can’t shut up 💕 ur a loser and will die alone

@nekosattva_chan you can say they’re dumb

i really dont get sabrina carpenters thing. the aesthetic is like shes a sexy cartoon mouse who acts like a prostitute and also a baby. all of the songs are about how she needs to get stuffed by some oaf and they all sound like say so by doja cat but 70% worse

@comicstosteal @politicalmath Quite literally yes there is someone you forgot to ask. If he’d given consent before his death that’s one thing but AI didn’t exist back then as it does now

@politicalmath This is all totally consensual and positive sum between the players Studio: We want a dead actor to revise his role in our movie with cgi Family, estate willed by dead actor: The dead actor gave us control over this, and we want the money "Is there someone you forgot to ask"
