God... I don’t even know if this is a spoiler because it’s like... the first two or three episodes
But Spoiler warning TUC Season 1, I guess
Listen, maybe my own experiences as a trans guy living in a conservative small town- whose big thing is that I wanna move back to the city so I can start over away from everything and just disappear- jumping out right now...
But Pete’s character so far, and the little bit of backstory we’ve gotten- but held up against him being the Vox Phantasma— the literal voice and keeper of all the dreams and aspirations of everyone who’s ever came there is something that can just be so beautiful and personal...
i downloaded this god damn episode just so everyone could watch this fukkin clip
squishy
Red, math, and Monday are all the same in my head
Interchangeable
Not to be emo on main, but I am so deeply tired of feeling like everytime I open my mouth the words don't come out right and everyone misunderstands what I'm saying because I can't use the words that mean what I'm ACTUALLY trying to say
If I could just stop talking in the middle of convos and script things before I had to say them I would in a fucking heart beat
Or like... *Insert a funny joke* or whatever...
pete the unsleeping city is the guy who most deserves to be some girl’s lame ass boyfriend who she hypes up so much
I'm sorry I'm going fucking insane over trans people in sports issues the anti trans crowd has lost the fucking plot and then has the audacity to act like its the trannies who are ridiculous
I used to be of the "well the sports issue isn't really important to me its w/e I just don't want it to be a gateway into other transphobia" but oh my fucking god we are so far gone. The fencing shit is sending me over the edge. What the fuck.
a lot of the coverage of the Palestinian genocide is focusing on the US student protests and the narrative is constantly in danger of shifting away from what the protests are actually about and a lot of the language is now speaking in terms of police brutality, silencing of free speech, etc. It's not a radical thing to say that this isn't exactly helpful to the Palestinian cause if the actual reasons for the protests aren't constantly front and center. A lot of people have already made this point. I do not think the genie can necessarily be put back in the bottle with how the protests and the police reaction to them are entering the public consciousness of the USian people. A lot of people are or will become aware of these protests through the lense of these simply being instances of police brutality, and police brutality is a critical issue that many USamericans are very passionate about thus making it difficult to reframe the context of these images of police slamming white professors into pavement towards awareness of Israels decades long illegal occupation and systematic and indiscriminate displacement and murder of Palestinians. What I feel needs to be done is try to reframe these images flooding the internet not *away* from issues of police brutality and homesoil fascism, but in the wider context of imperialist governments taking the lessons they learn oppressing "foreign peoples" and turning them inwards. That police brutality is not disconnected from imperialist mass murder. That the one thing connecting the assaulted USian protester and the trans israeli denied gender affirming care for refusing to serve in the fascist Israeli military and the Palestinian child buried alive for the crime of being Palestinian... the one thing connecting them is that, sooner or later, they are all victims of power. Our rights are granted to us inequitably, unevenly, and are just as quickly stripped away when we do not serve the interests of fascist power. We are either a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian, not the innocent or the guilty but the human being Palestinian, is murdered because she can not be useful to the state while she is still breathing. She can never have the "privilege" of being a tool. I'll say it again: We outside of Palestine who can go to protests, who have families, who are able bodied, who can work, who can keep their head down or speak without immediate retaliation have the "honor" of choosing to be a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian has no choice.
There will always be an armed cop ready to arrest you and kill your brother as long as there is a bomb ready to drop on the heads of Palestinian children. Fascism trickles up and inward.
Listen, I started watching The Unsleeping City, and can I just say
Everything that happens to Pete is SO cinematographically pleasing and pretty- and Brennan is SUCH a good story teller- god I wanna actually see that shit...
