Wenn man einen Moment innehält, denkt man, wie gleich doch immer die Muster und Abläufe sind, die autoritäre und menschenverachtende Kräfte an die Macht bringen. Und wie gleich die Muster und Abläufe sind, wie demokratische Kräfte versagen. Als sei die Menschheit nicht in der Lage, zu lernen.

Was haben wir uns in diesen Land darauf eingebildet, aus der eigenen Geschichte gelernt zu haben. Und 80 Jahre später bekommt wieder eine völkisch-rechtsextreme Partei in einem deutschen Bundesland 44,5%. Ein Tag der Scham.

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

What happens a lot on social media is when someone (Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman now Ed Brubaker) has allegations thrown at them people tend to leap out the woodwork saying "their work was never good." That helps no one as it's irrelevant. What matters is their actions and what they did.

Saw this attack in the wild for the first time, in a purported ebooks site claiming to be using Cloudflare. I expect many (most?) of you use Linux or Macs, but just in case: This is trying to get you to run a Windows program that will infect your computer. If you ever see this, run away fast.

Oh my god okay you guys I’m gonna 🧵 on fandom and I promise you the punchline is fuck JKR. Harry Potter became a shared social phenomenon like new episodes of popular TV shows. It doesn’t matter if it was “good”, it hooked people. Your view of it with 30 years of perspective doesn’t matter.

By all means boycott TERF media... but DONATE to orgs and people fighting for trans rights! Donate to individuals who need it! Considering the rapid timeline of this fight, we need donations and activism NOW. Boycotting popular culture media alone is NOT ACTIVISM.

Warum spricht kaum wer darüber? In ganz Sachsen-Anhalt gibt es Woche für Woche Demos gegen Rassismus & für Vielfalt! 🌈 Von Halle bis Zerbst gehen Menschen auf die Straße. Schauen wir auf ihren Mut statt nur auf die AfD! Feiert sie & teilt das Video! ✊👇

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

In Sachsen-Anhalt steht die Möglichkeit einer absolute Mehrheit einer faschistischen Partei im Raum. Wir erklären dir, wie du deine Stimme so einsetzt, dass sie maximal wirkt. Und es ist einfacher, als du vielleicht denkst, das Land vor der AfD zu bewahren!
