We Have GOT To Stop Pathologizing The Joy Out Of Life.

Important developments concerning Sudan

the Guardian

Sudan's military rulers and opposition reach power-sharing deal

Rule will rotate between civilian and military members of governing council

Now speaking as an Arab born in an Arab country who's grown up hearing about Arab politics my entire life, this is far from a good place to land. The military will almost certainly continue their fascist ways and people will still get killed. No talk of women's rights, no talk of an end to anti-blackness (which was serious enough for a genocide), no talk of restoring the Internet in these negotiations and discussions. This is still an awful situation for the Sudanese people and they are risking their lives, bodies, and mental health for their rights and their children's rights. Please continue donating to their emergency medical aid gofundme. It's been six months and the money still hasn't been fully accumulated to meet their goal.

If you disagree with something I said or have something to add, I would gladly listen if you are Sudanese (particularly Black Sudanese) or come from another Arab and / or African country who's experienced something similar.

I still love this. Rob is me. XD

Though, honestly, increasingly my favourite thing about it is Cynthia and Markella about to go to war over the proper definition of "brat". XD

Guys. Killing Cinta was not an example of bury your gays. That trope takes place when a gay character's death is metatextually treated as less important than a het character's. The unimportance of deaths in the pursuit of the rebellion is literally a central theme in this show!!! Cinta is the EIGHTH named rebel to die in this show!!! Not to mention Kreegr's men, or even the Narkina escapees. Every single one of these characters will die an uncelebrated yet ultimately important death in the pursuit of freedom!! Yes, killing a character after they've had a chance to be openly gay is a trope but they're treating it no differently than Brasso's death last arc. He too found love, and it didn't save him. The camera doesn't even link her death to vel in any way- her death is another symbolic death representing the danger of disorganization, infighting, naivety, not following orders, etc. Yes I wish some gay characters would get to survive onscreen and even live a happy life. But you're looking for it in the wrong show.

IF WE DON’T GET AN ANDOR TRAILER THIS WEEK‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Seriously tho we’ve earned it after the last week 😤

i’m so genuinely lucky to be dumb as hammers. the simplest things bring me joy. i’ve had several fits of passionate laughing out loud today because i can’t stop thinking of the phrase “one william dollars”

he’s so real for that tbh

Tolkien: I love all the elves equally. I don’t have favorites.

Also Tolkien: …and here’s High King Gil-galad, scion of kings, star of radiance, the noble fire, flame of hair and eye, who rules over one of the largest elven kingdoms, is the only elven king to wield a spear, is likely descended from two of the most powerful Houses, begins one of the most crucial alliances between elves and men, and successfully bears TWO elven rings of power for a time. Yeah and he clocks who Annatar is immediately and defeats Sauron so hard he loses the ability to take physical form for years. Oh and he was so famous and awesome and beloved that even the hobbits sing songs about him. Btw.

americans. listen to me. you did this before, you can do it again. i don't doubt for a single second that'll be tough going and you're going to see the most damning diabolical shit from that orange man from day zero but don't let him win. fight for whatever you believe in and push back as much as possible. as samwise gamgee would say 'there is some good in this world, mr frodo, and it's worth fighting for"
