me watching my own snapchat story: she is so damn funny i love her
To the star of a citywide manhunt, and the incredibly stylish woman who found him again after all this time.
Sometimes I photoshop our fighters onto yorkies like they are riding them into battle.
This one might be my favorite. This one is also my Knight.
These truly capture the majesty of these noble steeds.
@vampireapologist this looks like something you’d enjoy
headline from the body politic: a magazine for gay liberation no. 77, october 1981
Remember when the TV would fizzle when you touched it man I haven’t thought about that in years
this scene was far too real for too many people
The “don’t compare people to Hitler or call people nazis, it belittles the history” thing was meant for people who use the word ‘feminazi’ or call abortion ‘the baby holocaust’ or point out that ‘the nazis banned books’ when their favorite video game is cancelled.
When a right wing politician undermines basic human rights, criminalizes protestors and encourages violence against minorities, then yes, you can bring out the nazi comparisons.
@queeranarchism hey, are you Jewish or Rroma? Because if not, this really isn’t your call.
Even if you are Jewish, ask yourself why people will always go straight to nazi comparisons. A genocide that’s still internationally denied, doubted, downplayed? Why is it that people must comodify the suffering of the Jews and Rroma when more apt comparisons exist?
For example, the internment (hint hint) and forced separation of migrant children. Constant Auschwitz comparisons. Why, when America has its own guilty history to compare with? Not only does it recall the internment of Japanese Americans, but the stealing of indigenous children by America isn’t new. Residential schools, forced adoptions, intentional divorcing of these children from their cultures. Is that not a more apt comparison?
I do think some WWII comparisons are reasonable; for example, the rejection of Muslim refugees heavily resembles the rejection of the MS St. Louis, a ship full of Jewish refugees who were sent back to Nazi Europe.
But again, that was in America.
Not only does the immediate leap to nazi and holocaust comparisons comodify the suffering of two groups who are largely not afforded recognition for their plight, it allows America to pretend like it doesn’t have its own vile, racist, fascist history.
And that’s not something we can afford.
A Thought
I want to make a Jewish film festival called Cinegogue.
