So to sum up the films that hit the theaters and streaming this weekend -
Barbie - Gender-based superiority of any sort is inherently a bad thing, regardless of what side you’re on.
Oppenheimer - The road to hell is paved with good intentions and our pursuit of power and glory often blinds us to the terrible consequences such a pursuit will unearth.
Shin Masked Rider - Human happiness cannot be boiled down to an algorithm or an equation, and the suffering of people with the vague promise of human happiness later is not a deal we should take.
They Cloned Tyrone - Systemic injustice is just that, a system, and only by attacking those systems can we can be free from systemic injustice.
Isn’t it nice to see that films, even if they aren’t perfect, especially in an era of overbudgeted franchise sequels and remakes designed to piss people off to get others to theaters, actually want to say things? This could easily be my overestimating movies, but in a year with stuff like Quantumania, The Flash, and Dial of Destiny, these four feel like well-deserved breaths of fresh air.
I really hope people online aren’t getting the wrong impression of unions and that they’re flawless Things that will protect them from any and all mistreatment and that strikes are fun little treats union workers get
Unions are People not Things. Union leaders can fuck up. Unions can definitely operate in a way that gets you low wages and poor benefits if you’re not being represented well.
A union by itself does not guarantee you anything. Unions take work and money to run. You pay dues, you go to meetings, you vote. You protect each other in a union. You don’t join a union and magically have everything taken care of for you.
Strikes are a powerful tool but are scary. They’re not a goal to achieve. Unions don’t aim to go on strike during negotiations.
“it’s weird for queer minors to be friends with queer adults” oh my god. ohhh my god.
intergenerational community support, especially in a community that is split so much age wise as the queer community, is immensely fucking important. get to know older queers and younger queers. this is how communities frazzle out and die to infighting.
the hypothetical queer adult that people are mad over in the post this is refrencing is 35 years old. only 35.
its weird for any minors to be friends with any adults, queer or not. There should be no reason why unrelated adults or minors should be making close relationships in any sense outside of professional ones. I understand wanting education, but they can be taught when they are adults as well.
please do not fall for staff claiming trans womens faces being labeled mature is a “bug” i have had nudes and cis women in lingerie blazed to me CONSTANTLY with zero content labels or warnings, clearly any labels being added to posts are done by people. that and any text posts criticizing staffs rampant terf and nazi problem being labeled mature as well. it is very blatant obvious transmisogyny on staffs end and theyre giving up a flimsy excuse to try and avoid liability on the legal end of things
I finished putting together the Irish-American heritage month display and Jesus CHRIST there are so few books about Ireland in our collection?? Once more, I must say:
Oh and for the people who asked me last time what “a lot of stuff” entails
