Happy international women's day

under pressure, with a lot of pain and anger pent up inside, there’s two ways of of directing the reaction: inside of outside, towards self or other. with asa and denji, the autoagression vs violent outburst, gets tangled up with masculine feminine, among other dichotomies.

he will switch between the two of them depending on how they are either acting as a hindrance to what he wants or providing a means to fulfill it, more or less on his current whim and this been entirely consistent to his character thus far if you’ve been willing to see it

"if that bird had been able to fly, thinking only happy thoughts..." as denji crawls menacingly toward her and his head is positioned like he's going to eat her. simple but effective example of that efficient storytelling i love so much

Please support indie animation 💗 It breaks my heart to see, time and time again, the consequences of prioritizing mass-commercial appeal over exceptional stories.

You know I've thought about it a lot and I really do think getting drawn by yoji shinkawa would basically be the best thing that could happen to a person in their lifetime

i hope everyone is doing well, taking care of yourself, and never accepting less than the joy you deserve. be kind to yourself 💗 always :,)

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

It is so frustrating to see things trans woman (& other minorities) have said for years finally being said by cis people who act like it’s a revelation, all while still attacking us for being too radical, and knowing they will ultimately use the power we have now to recuperate a failed status quo.

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

Dungeon meshi is one of the most “perfect” things Ive ever engaged with, not my favorite tho it’s absolutely up there, but a story that I think completely succeeded in telling the story it’s trying to tell–it coheres

Dungeon Meshi really is my gold standard for pacing, the way to unfold a central mystery, balancing a cast and their individual arcs and tying it all together as a reflection of the overarching narrative. More or less perfect in every regard.

if you've ever wanted a taste of old fandom internet, I highly recommend browsing through this site. being in fandom back in the day was making a space for yourself and your creative endeavors- individual websites, livejournals, blogs- and making it uniquely You.

ok ngl i thought angel and makima were siblings before i started the series 😭❤️ #wip

Sinners... but make it Leyendecker #SinnersMovie

it’s always interested me how Tomoaki describes the concept of a devil, as if it is something he was previously aware of as existing within reality and has been taught to fear and loathe. devils have been a background part of his world; it is not something he is being introduced to just now.

the entire fucking campaign to smear trans people as predators that's made our lives a living hell for years and has killed thousands of us and sparked an ongoing attempted genocide is because of an elite billionaire pedophile cabal who didn't want to pay taxes, i'm crashing the fuck out right now

i don't want to compete. i want everyone to win, i want everyone to have enough, i want everyone to make art

I think about this post a lot.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib. He thought he was going to die. Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.

The de Young museum in SF has an art of manga exhibition that is absolutely fantastic!! It was /magical/ being near the original inked pages of iconic stories and authors, seeing the individual pen strokes, ink brushes, pencil marks… a truly wonderful experience.

a while back a mootie recommended fool night and jumping in on it was one of the better decisions I’ve made absolutely incredible from the get go. there’s been few stories that have made me so— disquieted, uncomfortable, filled with the kind of simmering dread that’s endemic to life these days

Taking a picture!

I've been watching what's happening in Minneapolis and I don't know what to say. Two American citizens killed by ICE in three weeks. Countless more who are not citizens. People afraid to leave their homes. For those of us not living in Minnesota, are some things we can actually do:

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

we need to abolish ICE right fucking now these are violent thugs who want to kill everyone. this is the gestapo. this is nazi germany. this is state execution that will be approved of by those on top

As these executions occur, please don't be desensitized. Please don't believe this must be acceptable as a new normal, because while state-sanctioned escalations of authoritarian evil are familiar tenets of the fascist regime, you must never slot them as part of your status-quo in any sense.

again my heart just breaks for this person, beaten and executed on the street for trying to defend their community, and for the people of Minneapolis, who have just been targeted for this endless dehumanization and brutalization just because of who they are & the inclusivity the city represents

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

solidarity with the people of minneapolis. the democrat party machine is going to treat all of you as dismissively and demonized as the way they treated people who objected to the democrat establishment's treatment of the genocide in gaza to vote blue no matter who. may things hopefully be different

Some people rather eat a bicycle tire between two fleece jackets and call it a burger than credit Black people for anything even when they stand on top of Black shoulders and squeeze out every ounce of semantics, style and even the scholarship on it from Black ppl to shape their own.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

I met so many heroic observers on the ground today, folks I’m starting to see every day. I still don’t know real names, but there are certain pseudonyms who are always out there and that make me feel safe. I’m meeting neighbors when we discover we’re rapid response together. Community is how we win.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

I can't stop thinking of all the poets slain by tyranny. Today I hear the voice of Federico García Lorca, slain by fascists in 1936.

this is absolutely horrifying. we live in a deeply sick world led by spiritually bankrupt people

love how hajime needs to eat souls to survive but he needs to touch tomoaki's face to LIVE

really looking at him and his behavior... I think yoshida is like denji in that he raised himself after being left without a guardian, the difference being that he had some kind of adult guardianship and an education before this and so was able to stay within the margins of society as he aged
