Watching This Little Fucker On Netflix Got My Brain On Fire, Been Roped Into A Nostalgia Wave, Really

This is why I need fanfiction. Every shiny new character that gives me gender euphoria fucking DIES and I need to fix it.

CHAPTER NINE: THE PIGGYBACK    ⮑ Stranger Things 4

i did a mini rant about it on twitter, but i want, and need, to say this here as well

it is sickening to see all media everywhere parrot israeli propaganda and lies while actively ignoring what they are doing to palestine, but especially so seeing it all being done just as much in germany, it feels even more personal bc shouldnt WE be the ones MOST critical of anyone enacting genocide?? a lesson to take from our awful, shitty, horrific history isnt we cannot criticize jewish people ever at all but that genocide is BAD

its seems like they are afraid of being called antisemitic by some people who dont know shit about whats going on so much so that theyd rather support a full blown genocide of 2 MILLION people, and it just

it scares me

i feel like a stranger in my own home, im avoiding news on radio and TV bc it feels like they are trying to brainwash me to cheer for the oppressors; we were responsible for a 5+ million genocide and now the media and politicians want us to support one of 2 million more??? what the fuck???

"well there are some evil people in this country we have been colonizing for years, guess we are gonna have to wall the entire region off so noone can leave and kill every single human life there, sorry, we had no other choice, dont look at us openly bragging about pulverizing a hospital filled to the brim with people seeking shelter from our 6000 mega bombs we dropped within a few days on this region, then calling palestinians 'children of darkness' and us the 'children of light', delete those posts, then change who we want to blame it on every few minutes bc people are starting to see through our lies, but dont you see? the bad people could have been anywhere, we had to, that hospital wasnt the first and wont be the last tho, so sad uwu"

how insane do you have to be to hear that and go "ah yes, that is very logical and justified and totally not obvious lies, heres a billion of currency and a metric fuckton of weapons to kill them all more efficiently, have fun and good luck"

?????????

if you think supporting palestine and wanting isreal to stop bombing them means you automatically support hamas you have no fucking idea what you are talking about actually and you need to educate yourself right about now, urgently

if you think the acts of one terror organisation represent an entire country and thus everyone living in it deserves to die for it, what the fuck is wrong with you there definitely are some horrible fascist, violent cults in the US, there absolutely are some in germany as well, do they represent the entire population of either countries and thus every single thing alive within its borders needs to die horrificly???

why did i have to sit in school trying not to cry my eyes out looking at fotos of piles of tortured, dead people, visit whats left over from concentration camps with all its looming feeling of doom, not even being able to stomach going into the building itself bc it made me want to vomit just being there and learn about every sickening detail of our awful history when im now here seeing and hearing it all over again, but this time im supposed to cheer for the oppressors?

i am appalled of so many countries being so complicit in supporting yet another genocide, but i am especially ashamed of my own. again.

free palestine.

An acquaintance of mine, the amazing trans activist, asylum seeker, and cancer survivor Danni Askini, was violently assaulted in the capitol yesterday by the MAGA mob. This should be major news but I have yet to hear anything about it in media. This attack had nothing to do with free elections. This is white supremacist terrorism.

Legit as a queer Hoosier this made me cry, but in a good way. It’s wonderful having our history preserved.

So, apparently the Chris Gonzales GLBT Archives has digitized The Works, a queer newsletter for Indianapolis that ran from the 1960s to the late 1980s, which is a pretty cool resource just generally but also might be of particular interest to any Stranger Things fic writers out there.

You can find the archives online here.

Hey guys, if you have the time please click this link and go view the AIDS memorial quilt. As of last year, all 1.2 million feet of the quilt has been photographed and made viewable to the public.

As such a cornerstone to our community as queer people, the AIDS quilt was a sign of love and remembrance of all who were lost. And for some, with no solution in sight. What a wonder science is, because living as HIV/AIDS positive is no longer a death sentence. It is a treatable and manageable disease. We can live full and happy long lives and not transmit the disease.

When it was intitially unveiled, the quilt had about 2,000 panels and it was now bloomed into 48,000. The majority of them measuring 6'3". About the size of a grave.

I urge you to take the time to treasure, understand, and support our community. As their lives and the queer movement- have brought undoubtable freedom as we live in our own.

Making a quilt can take countless of hours. And a quilt of this size, it’s a whole generations worth.

Love your queer elders. Love your gay history. Live free, today.

CHrIsT, the homosexual yearning is unbearable

I felt like this guy in high school, it’s excruciating the level of adoration I have for him

😀 I just think he’s neat 😀

page of them cause i’m still in deep

Welcome Munmas, lord of hard-shelled crawling creatures, devourer of the abandoned things, keeper of the lost

The first 3 letters of your hometown + the last 3 letters of your name = your inner demon name.

genuinely. there is something So disgusting to me about them building an entire season around

a villain who targets people who are already struggling and implied to be suicidal

the unjust demonization, alienation, and persecution of people who are different, namely those who are poor, neurodivergent, gay, etc.

and then those two building blocks of the season end with:

a poor, abused, suicidal teenage girl who fought tooth and nail to keep going ultimately being tortured to death and then stuck in a coma with all of her fucking bones snapped and her sight potentially gone

a poor boy who struggles in school and is an outcast and treated like a freak for being himself, who only wants to fucking graduate high school and be a better person than his shitty father being falsely accused of murder, hunted down by people who want to kill him, painted as a coward by the narrative for making reasonable choices, ultimately dying a pointless death and being remembered as a murderer.

like. not to even mention the way that a gay kid's struggle with his sexuality and feelings for his best friend are ultimately just used to push that friend closer to his girlfriend. like. god i'll probably end up writing something more articulate about this later but i am So deeply disappointed and i don't understand why the duffers would choose to engage with these themes if This is how they were gonna handle them.
