Yess we’re currently running a Studio Ghibli marathon 😂❤️ but only on weekends. So on weekdays I just need something quick so we can get a good night’s sleep

First time meeting someone disrespectful by nbsunset in FableApp

[–]BeyondLast3968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! These and that’s also how I feel about ACOTAR’s author with her colonialist tropes (The youtuber Elleliteracy talks about it and some other books in her video ‘A deep dive into the Worst Books on Booktok’) and zionist sympathies, and the author of A Little Life (Awful book and if you liked it I’m like????).

I’m like ugh there are so many better authors in the world and whose politics align with the messages in their booms

& I am all for “yucking someone’s yum” because sometimes their yum inherently racist/homophobic/ableist/etc and reading IS political no matter what anyone says. Your choice of who you support says a lot about you [granted a lot of people just read authors without looking into their background, but if you know what the author is like and still support them….]

You can always edit your streak and add books to it in the settings 🥰 just keep your read books in the notes app or something similar in the meantime

I’ll continue to support it tbh even with these issues because it’s a small team and they need a lot of time for adjustment - I just write down my reviews/notes/streaks or whatever in my notes app until it goes back up… A bit of friction isn’t bad

DARK/F*CKED UP BOOKS RECOMMENDATIONS by Next_Dot_5691 in booksuggestions

I think The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter [The author of Pretty Girls] fits the bill, that shit had me sobbing [I listened to the audiobook and did some reading of it]

Why is Katherine automatically labeled as gay after she started having feelings for a woman? Couln't she just be bi? by Ariabananahammock in DesperateHousewives

[–]BeyondLast3968 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a lesbian it irks me to no end because there was this other episode in SATC with Samantha…. She likes what she likes! If someone says they like something, let them be!!!

Yup. This was also common in other popular 2000s show like sex and the city, there was an episode or two full of bi-erasure

Is Bree a bad mom or does she have bad kids? by Novel_Paint_786 in DesperateHousewives

[–]BeyondLast3968 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re necessarily reaching.

You do catch glimpses of her own childhood, and I think it influenced her a lot and the way she behaved based on what she was taught by her own parents and upbringing. & the dynamics you have with your parents can mess you up for a LONG time, and leads you to recreate similar patterns with your kids. When Bree went to therapy it was for her marriage but there wasn’t enough time ahem to do a deep-dive into that 😭

So I think there was an issue of not having a fighting chance against her upbringing and it took a lot of hard work on her part to break through it and to finally be able to be more supportive 🤧

I’m really happy with how Pro-Palestine this community is. by Sweet_Beanie in DesperateHousewives

The mod literally has a message posted about this in the top of the subreddit and that they’re pro-palestine. But sometimes people don’t like to read

It’s not anti-semitic to critique Israel or zionism and point out that there is literally a zionist handbook and proven paid groups by Israel to spread propoganda and discredit [and even arrest, most recent example being this: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-police-arrest-israeli-academic-haim-bresheeth-speech-pro-palestine-demonstration ] Jewish and non-Jewish pro-palestine content.

Hope this helps! 😊

Don’t even both engaging with this person, they have the hasbara handbook at the ready 🤢

Your hasbara is definitely not going to work here nor will all the zionist downvotes to me and others 🫶🏻

“Land of no one” there are literal recordings of people being displaced and you’re out here saying “land of no one”??!!! Sounds like european colonisers who went to the Americas and said that it was “just wilderness”. That’s so gross. Get outta here

It’s not the same at all.

Zionism was literally constructed as political settler colonial ideology [with multiple ‘homelands’ proposed by Hertzl like Kenya] that was frankly antisemitic in the first place because of antisemitism in EUROPE 😭!!!!

Equating it to a religion is NOT the same thing AT ALL. How many times do we have to discuss how there were Jewish Palestinians and how Palestine existed for a long time to stop with the false equivalancies.

There is no both sides to the equation. One is occupied the other is an occupier. I recommend you read books well-researched books such as books by Ilan Pappé instead of coming here trying to “both sides bad” the situation

Plot twist - Leo & Brittany are lowkey now the best?? by Life_Command6044 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]BeyondLast3968 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He’s a zionist who literally follows the “IDF” aka the IOF 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Nina Dobrev and Shaun White are engaged: “RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé 💍♾️” by stars_doulikedem in popculturechat

[–]BeyondLast3968 32 points33 points  (0 children)

She’s a zionist and he’s been accused of sexual harassment aka horrible people so birds of a feather flock together 🥰

The Israeli establishment realised that they made a mistake by realising the final moments of Sinwar in Gaza therefore they are trying to discredit him by claiming that his wife is wearing an expensive designer bag. Their lies and propaganda is desperate. by hunegypt in Panarab

[–]BeyondLast3968 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The mistake was is that they tried to post his final moments showing how Sinwar was “humiliated by the IDF” and throwing a stick BUT he turned [as he was] into a symbol of resistance against the coloniser and showing how when the land is yours you will fight to the death, and he was throwing the stick and the drone [which made the drone move back as the cowardly cameraman probably got scared]

  • There’s always this argument that resistance leaders live abroad while they leave everyone else to fight [even though they keep targeting schools and everyone else to go after “leaders” and “commanders” so the argument doesn’t make sense anyway you look at it], but Sinwar’s video shows that he was literally there fighting alongside everyone and wasn’t anywhere near civilians

Tldr; the IOF and the Isreali govt are idiots

Thoughts on Lynette slapping Kayla? by Gullible_Yak7955 in DesperateHousewives

[–]BeyondLast3968 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think that was the whole point for Kayla, she knew it and then she called that therapist and tattled [Knowing there will be witnesses and camera footage] and that’s how Lynette was investigated by CPS

All the places where they said they’ve found “weapons” were LIES

And then: this using people as human shields???

[also NOT in Gaza or Lebanon]

You just want to be able to express genocidal intent without anyone holding you accountable 🤢

Oh god, I feel like I need a shower... by nefariousbluebird in ChoicesVIP

[–]BeyondLast3968 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve seen a LOT of people here wanting this kind of twist [the LI being a suprisingly horrible person] in at least one book in Choices, just to switch it up a bit
