i am of course tempted to make a joke about the harley quinn show being an example of gay people cannot have shit ever without some disgusting add-on trying to lump itself with us but the antisemitism in that show seems to fly under the radar and THAT is the bigger problem at hand here
Jews will talk ‘subtle’ antisemitism (read: antisemitism that isnt openly calling for death to Jews) and how dangerous it is and how it introduces people to antisemitism and people will ignore them then be shocked when Jewish people are hurt in real life. “How can people think like this in current year?’ Because you ignore it until it’s the absolute worst.
You can reblog fuck nazis post and protect Jews post, but you still have to advocate against antisemitism and it all starts with shows with badly hidden antisemitism
For anyone wondering
In the very first episode they made Oswald Cobblepot and his wife throwing their son a bar mitzvah. The Cobblepots are very rich, even handing out bags of cash as gift bags. They also control Gotham’s largest bank.
In the fifth episode, Ivy’s Jewish landlords burn down their own building for insurance and called it “Jewish lightning.”
The antisemitic caricatures of Penguin and his family, and of Sy Borgman and his wife, are reminiscent of Julius Streicher’s work in Der Stürmer
A reminder that there were no major works prior to this that characterized Cobblepot as Jewish. They made a character Jewish just to make him the subject of antisemitism.
I literally cannot empathize enough how much this bs happens and people tell us Jews that we’re "overreacting”
Don’t forget how the show actually removed Harley’s Jewish heritage (which was present in all her previous incarnations) just for this series, and then immediately put these jokes in. It’s very obvious and deliberate, and taints the whole series for us.
Apparently this comic is making the rounds again, and the people who reblog it are just as angry with me as they were two years ago.
hey op fuck you (but in a good way because holy shit)
At this point this comic is nearly six years old and people are still angry ; it kinda warms my heart that so many people are as emotional about Nine as I tend to be
I don’t know who needs to hear this but you can’t “ruin” 2021 by making hopeful statements about it, people on the internet are not making prophecies, bad things don’t happen because you dare to hope for good things.
I know all the jokes are fun but I would like to earnestly and sincerely remind you that none of it is real. Nothing anyone says, hopes or “predicts” about the year to come has the power to cause future events. You’re allowed to say that you hope 2021 brings good things for you. You will not be somehow punished for that.
sometimes I look at a fruit or vegetable and see how optimized it is and I’m just filled with love. ppl have the idea that edible plants are “organic” or have just sprung from the earth in their form but that’s not true!! they were selectively bred for thousands of years by generations upon generations of people. that is love. that is faith. when you bite into a fruit you are eating the generations of labor instilled in it to make it just right for you
this is how much our ancestors loved us. this is all their struggles and all their hopes. this is how much our ancestors loved being alive
Apparently this is a running gag in math textbooks
Oh, no, my friend, @aceyuurikatsuki . It’s not just that. It is so much more. Settle down and let your friendly neighborhood x-ray tech explain you a thing.
Throckmorton’s Sign, otherwise known as Throckmorton’s Principle, does in fact have to do with dicks. Because it is fairly normal for a dick to show up on a hip or pelvis x-ray. But the thing about Throckmorton’s Sign is, it’s not just that the dick is visible. It is a legitimate diagnostic tool.
Let me explain: let’s say a person equipped with a penis is in a car accident and has right leg and right side hip/pelvic pain. Their doctor will order x-rays. Unfortunately, sometimes fractures are so small that they can be missed, or, because the patient is in such bad shape and the images obtained aren’t the best quality, the radiologist can’t be sure for one reason or another if what they’re seeing is actually a fracture.
So what do they do? They look for the dick.
You heard me correctly. The dick.
Throckmorton’s Sign is when “the penis points to the area of pain.” So if the above-mentioned AMAB patient’s xray aren’t displaying a clear, obvious fracture, but their dick is pointing to the right side, 9 times out of 10, the injury or fracture is on the right hip or leg area, so then the radiologist will focus on that side while reading.
Now I know what my non-radiology followers are thinking. “Ace, this sounds like bullshit. This can’t be true. You’re lying through your teeth.” But I swear to you, it is 100% accurate. I have seen a positive Throckmorton’s Sign multiple times with my own eyes over the course of the past 7 years. Ask any x-ray tech, and they will probably agree with me.
Your dick is good for at least one thing, and that thing is helping a radiologist diagnose your upper femur, hip, or pelvic fracture.
