Bisan's Recent Post. I Think It's Important For You To Read It. Tonight 03.12.23, Journalists In Gaza

Okay, look. I really don’t care about your opinion of Captain Marvel’s quality of acting or plot or special effects.

I care about the little girl who I saw in the theater today, dressed in a Captain Marvel costume, transfixed by the woman on the big screen, who cheered when Carol unlocked her full powers, and ran around the theater during the credits, pretending to be fighting Kree.

That’s why the movie was made. That’s why.

*taps the glass* hey, y'all know that what you might want isn't necessarily what's best to legislate?

I love dean but I'mma be honest Cas finally sticking his finger in dean’s face and telling him what’s good was cathartic af

saw captain marvel!!

let me just say, as a young girl, that was the goddamn best thing i had ever seen. it was a religious experience. i cried because that is my life. people telling me i cant do things. that i’m too emotional. that i’m not good enough or strong enough or fast enough because i’m a girl.

do you know how i felt, walking out of that cinema? there was an energy inside me, an awakening, i felt free and powerful, i felt like i could do anything. i felt like my sex wasn’t holding me back.

she wasn’t sexualized, she wasn’t a side character, there was no romance (i still ship carol/maria thou) it was just her in a purely singular way. she didn’t need a guy to pull her punches, she didn’t need a slutty costume and over-sexualized fight moves.

I get a ride with my friends aunt to a youth group. on the way, she was talking about her son (young, cis, straight, white, privileged) seeing captain marvel the day before me. he said it was ‘too feminist’.

oh?

OH??

really, a movie about a women constantly pushed down by men is feminist? a movie about empowering young girls and women is feminist? a move about the most powerful character in the MCU as a women fighting past sexism is feminist? a women rebelling against social roles is feminist?

gee, who would have guessed?

later, on the ride back in a different car, the driver, a 40-year-old father of daughters said that he’s just young and confused, doesn’t know what’s right and whats wrong.

excuse me?

I am a FUCKING TEENAGER, barely out of my ‘tween’ years, and i am not sexist, i am not racist, i am not homophobic. it’s not anything about being young. it’s about being a decent fucking human being. it’s about accepting the struggles women go though everyday and opening your eyes, because it’s there, in the media, online, in people all around you. it’s in the girl that gets catcalled walking down the street. it’s the girl crying in the bathroom because someone called her fat and ugly, a whore. it’s in the jokes that aren’t jokes. it’s in how me, my mother, and my sisters do housework while my father sits on the couch. it’s about how i get overlooked for everything, simply because i have breasts and long hair and a vagina. it’s how i get remarks like ‘are you on you period?’ ‘i guess it’s that time of the month’ and ‘crazy bitch’ everytime i open my mouth to talk about something important, get labelled hysterical, and radical and a feminazi.

it’s how every women in the world has to fight for anything, how many governments fight against them, about how trump is defunding planned parenthood, how pads and tampons are luxury items, about how women have to fight to be allowed into things like the air force, like the army, even harder into sciences.

it’s not hard to find, to see, it doesn’t matter how old you are, how confused you are. it is not hard to find, it is staring you in the face, it is screaming and screaming but you plug your ears with it’s her fault, she was drunk/wearing a  short dress/high/leading him on/slept with his friend and cover your eyes with that doesn’t happen, i’ve never seen it. (you’ve never looked.)

the truth is that man – boy, is a who has to call his mother for instructions on how to make spaghetti is living a lie, that he is better, he is smarter, based on his skin and who his dick likes, how he sees his body and how much is in his parent’s back account. he has accomplished nothing in his life, (from what i can tell.) I, a girl about 8 years younger than him, has done so much more, just on the fact i’m not a piece of shit that hates equality.

I have to deal with the same shit everyday, so does any woman, and you have the gall to say that it wasn’t valid because you, chad, haven’t had the same experiences?

get a life, everyone who hates captain marvel for not being sex on legs, ignoring women’s issues and continuing this toxic culture of male superheros and oppression of girls.

get a fucking life or i will end yours, and so will every girl who grew up watching captain marvel and knowing they are stronger than people say.

what's this? IT'S DIANA WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

Happy Dead Thatcher Day

nothing will ever beat baby anakin saying "qui-gon sir i don't want to be a problem" and qui gon telling him "you won't be ani" being followed by numerous movies and shows where he was in fact the galaxy's biggest problem

The UK government passed the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill today, which gives police massive control over protests… including preventing them if they’re too ‘annoying’ or ‘noisy’ (even if it’s only a single protester). It also effectively criminalises the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller lifestyles, and recommends 10 year prison sentences for statue vandals.

The bill passed on the same day as the government announces the abandoning of all Covid precautions, where Boris Johnson basically stood up in front of the country and said ‘yeah more people will die, but yeah… money. Do whatever the hell you want and fuck collective responsibility, every man for himself’.

Thereby COMPLETELY ignoring SAGE, the scientific experts who advise the government, who have warned that variants that are resistant to the vaccine might develop.

And all of this isn’t even mentioning the Electoral Integrity Bill that was also read today, which is looking to introduce voter ID to prevent fraud… THERE IS NO WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD IN THE UK. 4 people were convicted, and 2 people were cautioned by police in the last election. 

6 people.

Out of roughly 47 MILLION people of voting age.

It’s just a move to disenfranchise voters.

Every day this hellhole just gets worse.

The western media outlet will pay.

here’s to a liberated palestine and an end to the occupation in 2024، إن شاء الله
