PSA: this Black Friday you’re gonna see Sandisk Extreme SSDs on huge markdowns. This is because they have hardware defects that cause them to fail frequently. Avoid at any price.
i don't want to see any white people ever again say how china, the middle east and many others asian countries are censored and that people there have no rights, don't you dare to make fun of north korea when your president wants jail for people who deny the state of isr*el, when you can't even walk around with a kufiya without being approached by the police and being told to leave, when social medias censor your post and shadow ban whoever even mentions palestine
I had a professor in college who did his anthropology fieldwork in Palestine. He is a Jew, but he was in his 20s, olive skinned, had a longish beard, fit the "look" of a member of Hamas. This was probably the 1990s, maybe early 2000s. He wasn't Palestinian, let alone a member of Hamas, he was a Jewish American doing anthropology fieldwork in Palestine.
He was regularly harrassed by the IDF. He told us a story about being stopped at a checkpoint, being told to get out of his car so they could search it, and then watching as they disassembled his engine piece by piece. When it was completely taken to bits, they said they had finished their search and found nothing suspicious and he was free to go.
I don't remember other stories, but that one has stuck with me.
He is firmly anti-zionist, and very much a practicing Jew.
That's what I think about when I hear about the Israeli state. A young Jewish American man watching IDF soldiers take his car apart, just because they could and because they assumed he was Palestinian.
Free Palestine.
reading dungeon meshi and getting to see ryoko kui's character design notes and processes is so consistently exciting and inspiring tbh
I wanna really pick apart her character design brain she's so GOOD at it
this one in particular blows my mind with its just. genius simplicity.
modern everyday clothing is what we all know the most about in terms of fashion. its the language we all speak. so of course it makes sense to work out how your charaters would dress in the language you already understand, before translating that backwards into practical and character-fitting fantasywear
its so simple!! it makes so much sense!! im amazed i never thought of it and it feels so huge brained!!! im gonna be thinking about it forever now!!!!
