I got three whole people to sign pledge cards for boycotting companies that are complicit in Palestinian genocide today. Not a LOT, but that's three more people who are officially withholding their money from genocide. π₯

How did I let myself get so out of shape that my muscles are SCREAMING after just half an hour of activity??? Am I just getting old, or is this concerning? π€

So, a little update on my family drama yesterday. My MIL decided to create a Signal family chat and invite my husband and I to it, because she knew we already had Signal to communicate with our activist group. Probably still has Whatsapp and FB, probably still doesn't get why my husband was so upset with her when she said that HORRIBLE thing on the phone, probably still isn't quite grasping the fact that we're peeved about her making my husband's exit from FB about HER.
But I guess she was really fucking terrified that her son would never speak to her again. π€·ββοΈ
So, we joined the Signal family chat. Still haven't said a fucking thing in it, tho.

So, my husband is IMMEDIATELY infuriated. He was actually talking to her on the phone at this point and hangs up. He then ignores her next call and blocks her, his father, and his sister. I ignore the call I get from MIL too.
I've literally never seen him this angry. He's shaking, pacing, asking over and over how it's gotten to the point where we are not willing to do the bare minimum to not support a bunch of fascists murdering the vulnerable through government policy and the corporate shit-gibbons that aid them. He's especially pissed that his own family is comfortable ignoring at all for their own convenience.
Didn't think I'd start the morning cutting off half the family, but here we are...

This morning, his mom started texting him, asking if he's getting rid of Whatsapp too, because she wants to be able to communicate with the whole family, including the part that's in Argentina. My husband said that he wasn't planning on it right away, but he suggested that they consider, as a family, moving to a new platform if possible.
MIL starts talking about how Facebook is the default way that she keeps in touch with family and her friends in her art group. She says she uses it as a utility, just like electricity and water, even though they're all real problematic. She also tells him that getting blindly angry isn't going to solve our fascist problems. When my husband explains to her that he's not getting angry over nothing, and that the least we can all do is not support the techno-fascists who are going to be aiding in the deaths of our fellow Americans, MIL dead-ass says "People die every day."

Fast-forward to yesterday, when my husband posted a final message on Facebook, saying he's leaving the fascist platform and adding a whole bunch of GIFs/videos of Nazis getting punched for good measure. He's gotten a lot of people asking where he's going - I think he's decided to come here! β€

It all started Thursday.
After my in-laws posted the story about that young journalist getting fired for posting a criticism of the fascists on her personal social media, my husband posted som nazi-punchung GIFs in solidarity and said he's not going to be silenced or capitulate to the fascists. His father said he's going to keep his opinions on the DL. My husband retorted that his grandmother (FIL's mother) didn't keep her hatred of Nazis to herself.
FIL started cryptically talking about how there are more ways to fight (not listing them), and how age has wisdom, basically claiming that he's smarter and better than his son. My husband stopped replying, because he's peeved that his father is, in his eyes, a fucking coward.

It was a very pretty film, and very competently made in all the technical aspects. The camera work, visuals, acting, costumes (can we bring back ulster/inverness coats with the capes please????), and design were all stunning.
But it was a bit more of a gross-out horror than I was anticipating, and certain things seemed to be there for shock value rather than because it made sense. The script seemed WAAAAAAY underbaked, because a lot of the elements of the story had no connective tissue linking it all together. In my mind, some of those elements could have said something profound about how a plague is perceived by the communities in which it spreads, but the commentary on that is minimal at best. Character motivations aren't all that genuine, and some are downright headscratchers. It's also a mystery as to how certain things even happened at all. I suppose some of it could be chalked up to evil nosferatu magic, but the rest comes down to practicality and how it seems like there should have been more info given the audience.
Anyway, it had a lot of style, but maybe I'd have to watch it again to get a better handle on the substance? Because on first viewing it didn't seem all there.

I don't know why they even bother with advertisements anymore. I'm probably already giving them most of my money on a regular basis. Like 6 companies own all of the shit we need to survive, and we cannot seem to escape their gravitational well of pure capital.

I always knew JelloApocalypse would piss off everyone eventually. It's just funny watching everyone lose their shit over the frankly mild ribbing of One Piece that came out in the fashion of all the other "So This Is Basically" videos.
If I had the amount of energy these people are wasting whining about an opinion on fiction that Jello has, I could do SO MANY cool things!!!
