52 years ago, the ESA was signed into law. It has prevented extinction for 99% of protected species, including wolves. Now, proposed rollbacks threaten to dismantle the ESA and erase decades of conservation progress. Protect the law that protects wildlife.

An interesting aspect of this is that in the lead up to the debate Buckley himself was dismissive of Baldwin and other Black theorists and thinkers at the time. It’s why he looked the fool, he was sure Baldwin was simply a bitter guy with hate for white people.
One of the lasting impacts of William Buckley getting dog walked by James Baldwin in the Cambridge debate in 1965 was that racial conservatism decided it was easier to dismiss Black ideas because they couldn't win the argument.

As a pessimist, I think the organic Stranger Things boycott was one of those declarations that was always going to fail. Primarily because most of the people making it were being reactionary versus principled. And when it came down to establishing a campaign to undermine zionist PR,
take no pleasure in being the one to do this, but theres a pretty big active boycott against stranger things (nd netflix in general) nd its v disheartening to see comrades break it nd ignore it (esp in light of one of its stars rabid zionism).
There’s some real good & cool stuff in Stranger Things Season 5, but I can’t help but feel like it wastes so much time. It feels like 5 hours of story spread out over 10 hours. I desperately don’t need 2 scenes per episode of Netflix-mandated verbal exposition for those watching while vacuuming.

Whenever people bring up Troy (2005) as accurate I (a) have to physically stop myself from laughing and (b) just wish they would say they see it as accurate because everyone is white. Let’s start off by the fact that Troy is hardly ever depicted as a separate civilization and always looks Greek TM

A lot of queerandfeminist fandom sincerely thinks that giving a shit about Black people or characters is American Centric and I would hate to be one of their Black Friends TM 🤢
(Also, they're usually American or Major European. They know how Black people are treated where they are/in media there?)

Anon: Have you checked out this resource for writing Black characters? It's really good.

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.
