at some point, I want to do a fashion writeup on takeuchi and talk about how you can tell he’s an artist that draws from reference (with fashion magazines) but doesn’t have much experience actually wearing the clothes he draws

like he genuinely has a good eye for fashion, it’s just that he’s almost an outsider artist about it

for example, the more you look at illya’s winter coat, the more you notice how insane it is as an article of clothing

you can see him making a pretty good guess about how buttons on a double-breasted cloak would work, even though he didn’t actually understand the cloak to be double-breasted. he’s recreating the structure from scratch because all he can reference is the form

also, I wonder if he put the scarf there specifically to hide the fact that he couldn’t figure out how to connect the collar?

i saw some praise for new yorker coverage compared to ny times recently on my dash. the new yorker piece on hamas propaganda published recently is literally justifying the murder of al jazeera journalists. when talking about the murder of the wife and children of al jazeera bureau chief wael al'dahdoud the new yorker implies that him crying about his wife and son’s very real deaths on air is hamas propaganda and that bc he had some family members in hamas they were probably not innocent? journalist sana saeed works through the insidiousness of the piece line by line in the linked thread below.

Afghan refugees forced to leave Pakistan say they have nothing

About 1.7 million Afghan refugees have been told to leave Pakistan and now face an uncertain future.

BBC News

A lot of terrible things are happening in the world right now. But in case you’ve missed this story, Pakistan is rounding up and deporting— as in literally knocking people’s doors downs and dragging them out, or bulldozing their houses— more than a million Afghan refugees and migrants, including people who have valid travel or residence documents, people who are waiting for the processing of humanitarian or student visas from other countries, and people who have lived in Pakistan for decades. They are being arrested and deported because they are Afghan.

Keep in mind that there are only two countries to which Afghans can reasonably expect to receive a travel visa and easily (“easily”) travel: Pakistan and/or Iran, the safety of which depends partly on the ethnic background of the refugee. Of these two, only Pakistan has a U.S. embassy where refugees can pursue Special Immigrant Visa or student visa applications for the United States.

This story has received some coverage and some action in the United Kingdom:

But almost nothing in the United States.

I just think that people should know.

If you were to guess what would be the percentage of Zionist Jews? I think it is a majority judging by the fact that almost all Jewish institutions promote Zionist dogma.

determinate-negation:

you could look it up instead of guessing. like honestly do none of you have any curiosity to find out stuff about the world around you on your own instead of asking people their opinion? no offense but i dont think i have ever asked a person anonymously what they think something might be instead of doing my own research. a lot of jews arent part of jewish institutions (like me lol and my secular family). jewish institutions are overwhelming zionist and this means people who are very involved in them are often zionist but thats not reflective of all jews. also i guess ill just mention that there used to be millions of radical socialist antizionist jews and they were murdered! and left wing jewish culture was massively marginalized in america during the red scare and jewish institutions allied more closely with us nationalism and zionism.

U.S. Jews have widely differing views on Israel

Jewish Americans – much like the U.S. public overall – hold widely differing views on Israel and its political leadership.

Pew Research Center

What if a quarter of Jews really do think Israel is a genocidal, apartheid state?

If the data are solid mainstream Jewish institutions are facing a jarring reality: their constituency includes a significant minority that d
