Watching Back to the Future - I’ve only ever seen Back to the Future 2- so the Libyan subplot was a surprise. It’s incredible how normalised and fundamental the hatred of Arabs is to Hollywood

Just to be clearer, I don’t think there’s a literal genocide gene o r aggression gene because I don’t believe in biological determinism. But what I did realise from the comments I cited is there are patterns I hadnt really noticed before. This doesn’t mean white people are inherently violent etc

P.S. flabbergasted by those who shift blame. This is a very American pathology - I've always been slammed for "apologizing too much" and people are shocked when I apologize for a fck up as a supervisor.
Good people, I WAS RAISED TO TAKE SOME DAMN RESPONSIBILITY. Yes, it IS sometimes our fault!

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.
Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

Someone who followed me on the bad site years ago once joked that Europeans have a genocide gene (they’re white and were responding to someone being racist to me). I think about that a lot these days. Not because I think there is but because it was still, at some level, profoundly true that

You think you can destroy a 5000 year old civilisation ? Lmao we already have so much of ancient Persian civilisation embedded into our realities. You can’t destroy it. It lives and will live one.

I could comment on this, but I had to call friends to remove a huge non -poisonous spider from my house just so I could keep breathing

lots of white swerfs/terfs eventually reveal their racism too. its almost always linked. and vice versa too, many racist white cis women turn out to be swerfs and terfs.

Yeah I remember giving a plenary at the space forum you invited me to give a plenary at about decolonisation and a space agency in Oz and then you didn’t turn up to it and I got roasted for my nerve. But hey at least you built a career on that sort of thing
