Imagine for instance: a hypothetical settler occupation, somewhere that gets very dry. Imagine that everybody knows which party controls the water. Imagine they want to paint themselves as victims of their subjugated, who are just these innately hostile monster people.
It is very hard to understand how important access to clean water is and how we can't leave it to companies until you go somewhere with a dry season and see how nothing can really exist but luxury resorts shaped like inverted jails, and terrorized desperate favelas

whether or not you see any social benefit of “womanhood” is largely a matter of a cluster of genetic choices you don’t have any control over and your willingness to basically take a second unpaid job in “performing being a woman”
People need to understand that for women over a certain height, womanhood has always been treated as conditional in American culture. There are papers published in respected peer reviewed journals this century about treating tall cis girls with estrogen to fuse growth plates so they don't get taller
This is the inevitable outcome of transphobic ideology. It harms cis people as well as trans if you don't fit a stereotype. If you don't look or act a specific way conjured up in the minds of the gender critical brigade you are, what they consider, a fair target.

I think that at this point, for those willing to take the risk, there is value in getting yourself arrested for the stupidest things possible. The Orange Alternative in Poland got arrested for handing out period products on the street, and that worked *amazingly* to make the PZPR look very stupid.

Manipulated Polaroid portrait of William S. Burroughs by Ralph Steadman. Process here is 100% analog. Right after you snap the image, you quickly apply pressure to the plastic surface of the film envelope with various tools in an effort to smear the chemical emulsion around inside before it sets.

Dan McQuade and David Roth talk to Chris Person about the work of digitizing film and TV that's otherwise on the verge of disappearing.
Someone Has To Save The Film And TV That Studios Won’t | Defector
HBO had a series of legendary stand-up specials in the 1990s, and one of the best of those came from a performer who was not a comedian. Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants was incredibly funny, but Jay…

Again, my utmost respect for @polygon.com for reporting on Dreams on a Pillow when so many sites and influencers that claim to stand for inclusivity and diversity and equality have ducked speaking about the genocide, about Palestine, and about Palestinian stories.

Dreams on a Pillow, the Palestinian video game about the 1948 Nakba, surpassed its funding goal
It’s follow-up to the award-winning Liyla and the Shadows of War

I think, in time, A Cure for Wellness will be as highly regarded as its spiritual forebearer Nothing But Trouble. People say these films are bad because box office, but they fucking slap as extremely rare instances of what beautiful high weirdness looks like when its backed by a big studio budget
