    executive dysfunction be like *wants to do something* *doesnt do it* *feels bad* *wants to do something* *doesnt do it* *feels bad* *wants to do something* *doesnt do it* *feels ba

    I recently learnt that executive dysfunction can be broken down into two main categories: anxiety that your attempt won’t be satisfactory, or confusion about where to start or how to break it down into steps. As much as we feel bad about it, it’s extremely important to remember that it is NOT laziness and we in fact shouldn’t feel bad.

    hey reblog this instead

    the himbo trope slaps when it’s done well actually. like. oh sweet man. you are so slutty and buff. and so so fucking stupid. but you try really hard to be a good person and sometimes end up doing so by accident because you’re such a dumbass. nothing but love for my president

    Question:

    I kind of feel like white ppl in canada/england have a similar attitude to white Americans pre-trump with the whole 'we're not that bad we have a black president' and then never acknowledging the actual war crimes Obama did all while ignoring the growing white nationalism that has now come to the forefront. like both those countries (esp England which has Boris for 3 more years) are in for the same rude awakening white Americans are goin thru rn if they don't start acknowledging it


    Answer:

    This tea. Like I am 100% all for critiquing and dismantling the US, and I’m not really the type of person to get sensitive to people on Tumblr making fun of Americans. But it pisses me off when people aren’t consistent about it. Like I don’t know where British people get off making fun of Americans when they’re literally in the midst of Brexit with museums full of colonial spoils and propaganda throughout the world promoting white supremacy nostalgia. And this honestly goes for all European countries and settler states. Not y’all simultaneously blaming all the world’s issues on the US while also stanning European imperial propaganda, complaining more about the US than discussing issues in other countries, and gaslighting oppressed Americans into thinking they’re attention-hogging for demanding not to be murdered by the state in their home.

    TL;DR on the latest round of Wikileaks:

    Literally nothing you do is safe from the CIA. There are numerous full-on spyware suites developed by them, mostly for iOS and Windows, but also targeting Android, Linux, OS X, and Solaris. Apps thought to be secure (Telegram with encryption enabled, WhatsApp, Signal) were compromised as well, as were a host of other devices (ie smart TVs).

    THIS DOES NOT PERTAIN ONLY TO AMERICANS.

    If you live in a Shengen area country, your country likely hosts several CIA backed cyberwar experts. They came in via the US consulate in Frankfurt. If you don’t, you likely do as well, but I can’t find anything without sifting through the files myself.

    “I have nothing to hide, why does this matter?”: Because there are now multiple thousand “zero hour”- ie “developers get zero hours to fix”- vulnerabilities floating around that no one had any idea existed. The vulnerabilities themselves weren’t leaked, but it’s the fact that someone knew about these and didn’t say.

    I hate to make this kinda clickbait-y thing, but this is honest to God one of the most important leaks in history. Our response to this is pretty much going to be life or death for privacy in the developed world. Be loud about this, be annoying about this, and do not shut up about this. Please reblog this and other posts relating to it.

    Not just any someone, this is one of the U.S. federal government’s foremost intelligence agencies, the CIA, which even mainstream media has reported operates on a black (off the record) budget, infamous for handing over “full” reports that are almost entirely redacted.

    It’s a wonder that anyone out there could believe they are not the subject of surveillance—everyone has something to hide.

    • The USA can access personal email, chat, and web browsing history. (Source)
    • The USA tracks the numbers of both parties on phone calls, their locations, as well as time and duration of the call. (Source)
    • The USA can monitor text messages. (Source)
    • The USA can monitor the data in smartphone applications. (Source)

    • The USA can set up fake Internet cafes to spy on unsuspecting users. (Source)
    • The USA can remotely access computers by setting up a fake wireless connection. (Source)

    • The USA can intercept phone calls by setting up fake mobile telephony base stations. (Source)
    • The USA can install a fake SIM card in a cell phone to secretly control it. (Source)
    • The USA can physically intercept packages, open them, and alter electronic devices. (Source)
    • The USA makes a USB thumb drive that provides a wireless backdoor into the host computer. (Source)

    • The USA can spy on ambassadors within embassies. (Source)
    • The USA can track hotel reservations to monitor lodging arrangements. (Source)
    • The USA can track communications within media organizations. (Source)
    • The USA can tap transoceanic fiber-optic cables. (Source)
    • The USA can intercept communications between aircraft and airports. (Source)

    And this leak shows that the CIA has all of these technologies and proliferates them to other entities who want this information all the time. You need your privacy to protect yourself and your information. If you have nothing to hide, you have plenty to hide:

    The line “if you’ve got nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about” is used all too often in defending surveillance overreach. It’s been debunked countless times in the past, but with the line being trotted out frequently in response to the NSA revelations, it’s time for yet another debunking, and there are two good ones that were recently published. First up, we’ve got Moxie Marlinspike at Wired, who points out that, you’re wrong if you think you’ve got nothing to hide, because our criminal laws are so crazy, that anyone sifting through your data would likely be able to pin quite a few crimes on you if they just wanted to.

    Julian Sanchez points out:

    Some of the potentially sensitive facts those records expose becomes obvious after giving it some thought: Who has called a substance abuse counselor, a suicide hotline, a divorce lawyer or an abortion provider? What websites do you read daily? What porn turns you on? What religious and political groups are you a member of?

    Some are less obvious. Because your cellphone’s “routing information” typically includes information about the nearest cell tower, those records are also a kind of virtual map showing where you spend your time — and, when aggregated with others, who you like to spend it with.

    We simply cannot possibly know when something is going to incriminate us and the State is not above scapegoating individuals or coercing them into submission. James Duane, a professor at Regent Law School and former defense attorney, notes:

    Estimates of the current size of the body of federal criminal law vary. It has been reported that the Congressional Research Service cannot even count the current number of federal crimes. These laws are scattered in over 50 titles of the United States Code, encompassing roughly 27,000 pages. Worse yet, the statutory code sections often incorporate, by reference, the provisions and sanctions of administrative regulations promulgated by various regulatory agencies under congressional authorization. Estimates of how many such regulations exist are even less well settled, but the ABA thinks there are ”nearly 10,000.”

    Supreme Court Justice Breyer elaborates:

    The complexity of modern federal criminal law, codified in several thousand sections of the United States Code and the virtually infinite variety of factual circumstances that might trigger an investigation into a possible violation of the law, make it difficult for anyone to know, in advance, just when a particular set of statements might later appear (to a prosecutor) to be relevant to some such investigation.

    Not just the State, but anyone could draw suspicion against you if they had the right information with the right circumstances. We are entitled to our privacy, and these institutions must be held to account.

    Reblogging because the links in the bulleted list were broken, as someone brought to my attention.

    This is why we criticize boomercons for (rightfully) being outraged about Chinese spyware but turning a blind eye to the US surveillance state out of some misguided and naive sense of nationalism.

    i need y'all to know that french colonialism is as grave if not worse as the british colonialism

    As an African American living in France and seeing the vestiges not only of physical violence+genocide but the cultural annihilation and SHAME heaped upon north and west African cultures I completely agree. It breaks my heart everyday

    #As a French I completely agree#the french state has always considered non-French languages and cultures within its borders a threat to the unity of the nation#It’s written in our constitution#that French is the only language of the nation#It has also always considered assimilation a key stone to the immigration process#That’s why it has always seeked to annihilate non-French languages and cultures within its borders#Erase them so the people assimilate.#It pulled that shit to French people themselves#vergonha / vergougno is an occitan word that means shame#it’s used to talk about the shame of your own cultures and languages#that was and is still experienced by French people who were forced to abandon their native languages#my grandpa can understand breton but never spoke a word of it because of this#same for my grandma with occitan#it was illegal to speak any other language than french at school#and the state is still repressing the teaching of regional languages at schools#and it’s also why we are so bad at speaking english compared to other european countries#the state limits the teaching of foreign languages#to a specific number of hours#can’t remember how much but it’s less than our neighbours#because back then and still now bilingualism wasn’t an option I guess#if you think such a country wouldn’t try to annihilate the languages and cultures of the people it colonized#on top of all the racism and physical abuse typical of our colonialism#as we say in French you’re putting your finger in your eye to the elbow#basically you’re terribly wrong an you should think again about it

    Literally my grandparents had physical punishment at school if they were caught speaking Brezhoneg, or even if the teacher learned that they spoke Brezhoneg to their parents. My parents never learned it because it wasn’t taught in school, and even now when it’s finally is allowed to be taught in school, it’s only in private and expensive one’s ,and usually via organization that are heavily linked to a specific family of Aristocrats (I met some personally). The slang for “dumb peasant”, “Plouc” is literally a mockery of the name of many of our villages.
    And we still got it WAY better than peoples of color who were colonized by France, whether they still are forced to be part of the country (like New Guinea) or got their independence (Algeria, Indochina…).

    Too much peoples like to use England & US as scapegoats for colonialism but don’t be fooled, those crimes are much more widespread than it seem. France isn’t poor on cruelty and colonialism compared to England, far from it.

    Oh God this a thousand times over

    The Black Casting Choices in BRIDGERTON Were…A Choice | Book Riot

    But about halfway through watching, it was brought to viewers’ attention that the characters portrayed by Black actors were actually supposed to be Black people, in a Britain that had made an effort to right its wrongs much earlier than in real life (if one would argue that it has made much effort to do so at all). And in that moment, the people who were chosen to be portrayed as Black characters became something else. Another element of Black pain and trauma in what would have been yet another generic historical fantasy.
    One can’t help but notice—even before the vague acknowledgement that the Black Britons are indeed Black—that the Black characters have a certain commonality between them: Trauma.

    not to reawaken the twilight hater in me but i’m once again thinking about how i never got into vampires. i honestly find the concept fundamentally grody and i simply don’t identify with almost any of the common tropes in vampire media.

    like 1. drinking blood is not sexy. it seems really messy and difficult and awkward. and dis gus teng???? 2. the deep breaths and hissing in every scene is weird bro. it’s extremely uncomfortable. 3. the love triangle between the geriatric abusive stalker fresh out of hot topic and the paternalistic best friend? i’m over it. 3. maybe this is just me but why do i feel like it is weirdly common for these stories to take place in the south and/or glorify the confederacy? 4. this is also me but i really do not understand why someone would ever want to be immortal if it means you have to watch your loved ones waste away and sustain yourself on blood in the dark and secret. it’s a no from me love. i just don’t get the appeal????

    Your thoughts on Twilight are valid, but I must say that vampires from folklore are pretty interesting (and never done well in Western media). The lore is about many things, not least about what it means to be an aberrant individual. It is not about being bitten per se - who becomes a vampire after death is governed through different factors. For example, if you are seen as not fitting in: yup, there is a risk of you becoming a vampire. Oh, and you can also visit your widow at night and father children who will have supernatural powers.

    Question:

    Hi, anon who originally talked about julia quinn here! Sadly I cant find the source for that specific panel (the google results all get bogged down by bridgerton articles & J.Q.'s own website, the only thing I could find anymore was this [https://twitter.com/SashaDevlin/status/1341378936127823873] twitter thread), but in this other panel [https://youtu.be/6bX8XSkdbkI] from 2017 she talks about how tricky she finds diverse characters (~45:00//there's some mention of slavery) and offers some questionable takes on r**e fantasies (~01:05:45//r**e mention tw).


    Answer:

    Thank you–these links are perfect! A friend also reached out privately and sent me this Twitter thread commenting on JQ’s statements in the link about the panel at the Strand. I skipped around to about the 44 minute mark to find the statements in question. There’s a LOT to unpack in what she said. I don’t have the emotional/mental energy to unpack it all, but I think the fact that it’s a “Feminist Take on the Romance Genre” panel where all of the panelists and the moderator are white women speaks for itself.

    diversehighfantasy :

    rootbeergoddess :

    Me and @positivelydetectivecomics have been talking about black people have a hard time fitting into alternative spaces like goth and punk scenes. One of the reasons I’m so thankful and happy to see black people in horror, sci-fi and other stuff is that for the longest time, we were told we weren’t allowed to enjoy these stories. Even if it wasn’t sad outright, we couldn’t be apart of these stories because they weren’t meant for us.

    So I get really pissed off when people cry about, “Where are the white people?” or “This is some SJW shit.”

    I’m sorry but that’s crap.

    First of all, white people get to be the center of everything. There is only one black Disney princess, Ant-Man got a movie before Black Panther and it took Jordan Peele making Get Out to see a horror movie where a black person gets to be the lead. When people enjoy these works or black characters, white people go out of their way to discredit those characters. “You only like that character because they’re black.” Yeah so? Some people only like Ariel because she has red hair.

    Second, people complain about black people being inserted into stories like Anna Diop being Starfire and say, “Make your own stories” but as soon as they do that, they complain AGAIN. No, you don’t get to erase us and stop us from being parts of communities but then complain when we make content for us! 

    The reason I’ve decided to be unapologetically myself is because I am sick of letting people dictate how I can be and feel, especially white people. It’s sometime I recommend all black people do. I refuse to let white people dictate how I can be, what I can enjoy and what I can create.
