Are there actual Palestinians in the superman film or is it mostly a vague gesture, I have not seen it and cannot imagine it non-cynically
July 12, 2025 at 4:20 PM
It is genuinely tragic to me that white marginalized individuals keep showing time and time again that they champion the rights of and can comprehend, in theory, the issues of almost every other intersectionality except when you’re Palestinian. I can see your humanity and you can’t see mine

“Palestinians being alive and upset at being annihilated are ruining the vibes…maybe if they died quietly I can go back to the good old days when I didn’t have to feel complicit or had. Maybe they deserve it for bothering me?” - ultimately the argument Contrapoints and her supporters are making here
July 10, 2025 at 4:03 PM
Contrapoints comments on leftists picking up another “lost cause” in the case of Palestine is so disgusting that I’m starting to understand why she spotlights so many hours on the concept of leftist infighting…it’s all just aesthetic tone policing at the end of the day. Delete ur channel please

Yeah dude people love it when nonwhite folks win awards, they’re terrified of not handing us awards even

Kind of a joke kind of not. I’ve been watching the HThree thing unfolding and have been thinking about it since 2016. I kind of want to write about it, especially in the terms of what it was like from the Palestinian lens, how it mirrors everything honestly. Is this of interest, or is it over?

i wrote about kendrick's super bowl halftime show and the gestures it did make and was never going to make, and what we use the super bowl halftime show for even www.vulture.com/article/kend...
Kendrick Lamar Is Not Your Savior
His halftime set did little more than underline his beef with Drake.

Respectfully, everyone I know who keeps saying that “see, now trump is worse for Palestine, you idiots cost us the election!” Never speak to me again, please. It’s clear that you weren’t listening to Palestinians anyway, who keep explaining this is business as usual, just different framing

Fuck off

Still grieving, but alive. Free Palestine

Idk how it is on other peoples timelines here but im seeing very little about Palestine. It feels surreal to see anything else, for me, right now. Will probably not be using this account for a while as a result. I don’t know how to be part of “the rest of the world” amidst this devastation

i keep thinking about this. things like this and the way people have been talking the past few days have made it so clear to me, in the push for more diversity in mainstream media the past few years, why i always noticed that arabs were rarely included.
I literally don’t care anymore. Look what happened when we were pitching SQUIRE in 2018. Literally the first response was about “anxiety” as if these major publishers don’t publish Zionist works constantly

I had a book come out today. I can’t do anything besides mourn. Everyone’s life moves on around me and I’m stuck watching my people beg and scream for our dead. We are treated like we’re born guilty. I don’t know how to cope

ultimately I feel that this is a crossroads. Palestine is the future, in every way. We are watching our media, our publishers, our institutions actively suppressing us, keeping the military machine moving, keeping colonialism in check. Liberation for Palestine means liberation for us, everywhere.
