— This kind of selective outrage shows nothing remotely humanitarian. It only exposes how deeply some of these so‑called leftists and humanitarian and "Anti-genocide" activists are invested in an absurd romanticization of Islam, even when that means looking away from Iranian people being slaughtered
—The deranged silence of so many “Free Palestine” sympathizers around the massacres in Iran carried out by the Islamic regime, while they brand themselves “anti‑genocide,” makes me sick to my stomach.
I am back on Bluesky physically.Mentally, I am nowhere close to recovered from what I have witnessed: death, horror, bloodshed, and a world that mostly stays silent.
I usually avoid stepping into highly charged debates like Israel–Palestine now, but —
I knew that risk,my anxiety about not giving that impression was sky‑high. I'm a storyteller, not the player, and definitely older than the rest of the table. So when I joined, I kept apologizing and told them if I ever dragged them off rail, they should just hint at it and I adjust immediately
Only later did I realize that Titania is framed as the top-tier goddess of the Feywild, which means my atheist, drunken, swashbuckler rogue Pixie at level 10 basically walked in with absurd narrative privilege and the DM still said yes. That level of trust is wild, I feel responsible not to abuse it
Then things escalated when he also approved my backstory, where Titania is my character’s godmother, “Auntie Titania,” because my mother is her closest friend, first paladin, and bound to the Seelie Court.
The DM earned serious respect immediately by letting me bring in a Pixie built on fairy stats instead of shutting it down for balance reasons.
I finally joined my first physical D&D campaign, walking into a homebrew table that has already survived 53 sessions without me, so the pressure not to be “that player” was intense.
Digital resistance has to protect Anna’s Archive at all costs.
Starter Packs are great for quickly finding relevant accounts in the field.
downside: you follow the accounts, not the pack itself, so later it is hard to relocate that specific category once you follow thousands of people.
Still, it is one of the best features, and the pack below is one of my fav
Getting close to the release of the new Madoka Magica film, Walpurgisnacht: Rising, after about 10+ years since Rebellion and also a delays. Please, no more postponements.
I even delayed my paper based on franchise and Humora Akame character arc, so to finish when it comes

This is about the concrete actions that one particular organization has taken over its lifetime, compared with the real collective agency and labor carried out by people who act from their own pockets rather than from donor-funded salaries.
What troubles me are groups that invest heavily in stunt marketing and branding while doing very little practical work for the cause they claim to represent.
It is not that I am against animal welfare; some organizations clearly do meaningful work, whether their methods are fully ethical or not.
In that sense, PETA often feels less like a movement actor and more like a group of paperboys shouting “breaking news” to sell the next headline about animals rather than materially improving their lives.
PETA, instead, plays both sides: it brands itself as radical while operating as a professional NGO, which makes its gap between rhetoric and practice look simply hypocritical.
PETA is not even an anarchist direct‑action network like the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), which openly embraces illegal and ethically contentious tactics in the name of its cause, whether one agrees with them or not.
To put it in context, PETA has become a problem even for other animal-welfare NGOs that try to work seriously without stunt marketing, because its shock tactics, controversies, and euthanasia records often damage broader public trust in the field.
This contrast shows how collective action can be a more viable source of “change for good” than glossy, on-paper promises that never match the scale of what organizations say they do.
Two tweets, same context:
One is a marketing performance by PETA, designed for outrage, virality, and brand visibility.
The other, from @dexerto.bsky.social , reports on collective agency, where fans mobilize their own time and money to protect animals inside and outside the game space.
Finally found random strangers in a tucked-away game café and actually got to play board games (D&D comes next week) in person again, after years of only doing this online with my online friends, because I never had local friends for it here.Feels like my luck is finally turning against loneliness.
I am not deeply invested in Marvel or DC, so my view is not meant as negativity toward the creators, creations, or their fans. It is simply my personal response, based on preference rather than any form of scholarly critique, and it only reflects how the characters feel to me.
Another issue that has always put me off is the lack of emotional balance in both male and female superheroes in Marvel and DC. The characters often feel emotionally exaggerated rather than psychologically grounded. They are just two sides of extremes.
To say, I am simply not a fan of Marvel and DC, but for me their female characters have never felt balanced. They usually fall into extremes: either idealized to the point of flawlessness or written as overly naive. For me, this leaves very little room for realistic and fully human portrayals.
The only time I felt that mainstream media portrayed female heroes as perfectly not perfect was in Arcane, the League of Legends animation series. It is not surprising that this portrayal did not come from Marvel or DC.
So Netflix has finally chosen to challenge a medium that television itself could never kill, the old world of cinema. It feels like watching a supervillain emerge. Though one who might become the unexpected hero that brings it all crashing down. Or this is another story destined for a tragic ending.
But it is tragic to observe a nation become so drained, so stripped of its former glory, that it can only look to the false gods and players for the rescue.
A nation is collapsing, and "hope" itself has begun to resemble a silent mercy killing.
History will be rewritten upon the ruins if people do not find the collective strength to unite, to change, and to rebuild. No outside force can save a collapsing nation, only its own citizens can.
Now this crisis turns toward them as well. What I am witnessing today resembles the final stage of late capitalism, where a once powerful civilization risks either total collapse or such deep devastation that its former stature is barely recognizable.
The late-capitalist phase of a nation is often its most destructive one. Society shakes under economic collapse, businesses falter, and even the upper classes begin to feel the same hardship they once dismissed when it affected the lower and middle classes.
