New look for Hitagi this arc
the Nekomonogatari anime is fascinating 2010s yuri both in its tender depicting of queer survivors of abuse coming together but also its adaptational choices privileging the male gaze and hedging on the most explicitly romantic aspects of Tsubasa and Hitagi’s relationship

Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

interesting to see her leaning on the argument that pro-palestinian voices are unfamiliar with the relevant history, as if any amount of historical context could justify what's happening in palestine
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

one thing Stranger Things i dont think understands is that fleshy walls/environments are scary not merely because of their being fleshy but because of the implication that you are either inside the belly of something much larger or that fleshy wall used to be a human being and is still alive
