“She deserves to be punished too.”
“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”
“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”
“She put herself in harm’s way”
“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”
“She ruined their lives.”

Collection of all my Obey Me! Anime Countdown posts I've been doing for the past week over on my Twitter! Plus a Luke because it was his birthday~
Do you know why people are boycotting Good Omens? Is Nail Gaiman a zionist?
I’m sure there are much more eloquent answers from people out there but I personally am not supporting Good Omens anymore and don’t really want to associate myself with it due to Neil Gaiman, Michael Sheen, and Jon Hamm’s actions.
Neil Gaiman has a tweet from 2015 that says Israel has the right to exist and implies he supports a two state solution. Then, recently when he was called out on it, he doubled down and took the “neutral” approach.
There’s a lot of reading you can do on why a two state solution is harmful and in support of colonisation- I recommend an article from decolonizepalestine. I also think I’ve made my stance on remaining “neutral” on this topic very clear: there is no such thing as remaining neutral during a genocide.
Michael Sheen also had some upsetting tweets that supported neutrality and a two state solution.
He also said he was not blocking people for saying Free Palestine (he was) but he blocked people who were respectfully trying to educate him on why what he was saying/taking a neutral stance is extremely harmful.
Jon Hamm just openly signed the No Hostage Left Behind letter to Joe Biden. I have very strong feelings about this letter that directly acknowledges debunked propaganda (AFTER they were debunked) and supports colonisation by stating the main goal is have Palestine and Israel exist peacefully together. It only acknowledges the Israeli hostages, but nothing about Palestinian hostages or victims. To me, anyone that put their name on that letter is not worth supporting or even acknowledging anymore. (I have more thoughts with real evidence on why signing the letter is a horrible choice here- it’s specifically in regards to Taika Waititi but the content itself applies to everyone who signed)
She’s not directly involved with the show but Georgia Tennant liked a post of Amy Schumer’s that was in support of Israel. Make of that whatever you want, I don’t believe she/David Tennant have directly spoken about anything.
for the new twitter users interacting with content:
remember, you're on tumblr. do as the tumblrians do
The worst thing in the entire world is when you’re sweeping a big pile of dirt into a dustpan and it leaves that little coke line of grit behind. No matter how you position your pan or your broom and no matter how many times you sweep over it your outcome cannot change. As immovable as fate. I hate it so
happy womens day to everyones favorite woman
THIS IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE. I have left out happenings. As I typed this more movement was reported. This is happening NOW.
Here is a map of Ukrainian oblasts (regions)
Direct your eyeballs to the eastern (that's on the right of the map) oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. These two oblasts make up the Donets Coal Basin, or Donbas region, of Ukraine. coal coal coal.
Hold them in your mind.
On this map above you can see an outline of the Russian separatist-controlled area of Eastern Ukraine. Please note that the Russian separatist-controlled area is not analogous to the oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. When on 21 February 2022 Putin declared recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LNR) as independent, we did not know if he meant just those cities and the surrounding Russian separatist-controlled areas OR the entirety of the oblasts. Where these borders are is incredibly important because Putin will use any excuse to declare a Ukrainian provocation. This ambiguity is to his advantage. [This is besides the fact that Putin has no fucking right to declare any of this land independent, or take any of it for Russia in the coming days.]
The Russian separatists, of course, claim the entirety of the oblasts, and Putin recognizes those claims. Russia has come to the "aid" of the separatists to defend against Ukrainian "aggression."
Tonight (23 February 2022), President Zelenskyy of Ukraine tried to speak to Putin on the phone, but was rebuffed. He gave a brief update to his people in Ukrainian, and then a long speech to the Russian people in Russian. Below is text of a translation of that speech from Max Seddon on twitter [thread starts here, good follow]:
We are divided by a shared border of more than 2,000 kilometers. Almost 200,000 of your troops and thousands of military vehicles are standing alongside it. Your leadership has ordered them to move forward, onto another country's territory. This step could be the start of a big war on the European continent. The whole world is talking about what could happen any day now. Any provocation. Any flare-up – one that could burn everything.
They're telling you that this flame will liberate the people of Ukraine, but the Ukrainian people are free. They remember their past and are building their future. Ukraine on your TV news and the real Ukraine are two totally different countries. Ours is real.
There is more, click above link to read.
Russia is going to invade Ukraine, and not just the Russian separatist-controlled regions that were recently declared independent republics by Putin. This is colonization. Ukraine has a rich history and culture separate from Russia (its history and culture is MUCH OLDER than that of Russia, even). Putin denies this and claims that Ukraine is Russian. This is false and ahistorical.
(But why are there so many Russian-speakers in Donetsk and Luhansk? Well perhaps because the Soviets committed genocide in the 1930s and purposely starved millions of Ukrainians so that ethnic Russians could move onto their land. Search "Holodomor" if this is new information to you.)
The UN Security Council has called an emergency meeting for 9:30pm EST (I'm posting this at 7:22 PM EST)
The mayor of Kyiv, Vitaly Klitschko, has declared an emergency.
Airports are closed in Eastern Ukraine.
