for all the bad things about the internet, one thing i like about it is how it has so effectively led to an explosion of art and artistry in creative hobbies that i dont think we really appreciate enough
Like, if you look at any individual hobby from music to soap-making, to gardening, to knitting to painting, you’ll find that in the last ten to fifteen years, there has actually been a lot of innovation, because people have been pushing the boundaries of their mediums to crazy extents, which was of course possible before, but which has been thoroughly facilitated by people just being so much more able to share their experimentations, and look up new techniques. Information and materials which would have been incredibly difficult and expensive to gather back in the days is now a lot more affordable and easy to access.
On the one hand, it has unfortunately heightened expectations for people just starting out, or trying to have fun. On the other hand, there is something magical about one of my grandmother telling me about the new gardening tips she learned on youtube while the other uses duolinguo to try and learn russian to read those beautiful russian knitting patterns she fell in love with on pinterest. And remember those nigerian boys who made sci-fi short films for fun? There is something great about being able to look at and be inspired by art all day, every day. to be able to look at things and have the tools necessary to tell yourself “I can try to do that too”
If the future is going to be shaming people for a skin color, then Im becoming misanthropic
It’s almost like you’re ignoring major period in history
What period? If its about slavery, every major civilization at one point had slaves; and nobody speaks of the slaves the aztecs, ottomans, muslims, indians,egipcians had throught history.
The first countries to abolish slavery were western civilizations, from Haiti to the USA to Britain, whereas the Ottoman empire had it until its final moments, and also the arabs that overthrew the ottomans also had slaves..
Here we go with the All slavery matters bullshit
lmao that’s a nice way off saying “I’ve never read a history book and i don’t know what to say”
Anyways don’t judge people for their skin colour you fucking lunatics it’s not that hard
>Here we go with the All slavery matters bullshit
Y’know, it’s bad enough when y’all think slavery was just the Atlantic slave trade, and don’t know about the role of the black people who captured the slaves in the first place.
But I think actively ignoring other forms of slavery is worse.
these comments are so fucking inappropriate and honestly trivialize a tragic situation.
this girl was sold by her parents into what is sexual slavery dressed up as a marriage, so she tried to kill her husband to escape his abuse, but accidentally poisoned 27 people instead. 17 people died, with at least one victim being a child. Bibi has openly expressed deep regret over having accidentally killed innocent people.
she was sold by her parents, the very people meant to protect her, and made into a sex slave. in her desperation, she made a mistake that cost innocent people their lives. she was then arrested by a legal system that could have prevented all of this by protecting women from sexual slavery in the first place, but won’t.
she will likely be abused in prison and sentenced to death.
she’s not “queen” or your “new best friend.” she’s a young woman who has been subjected to horrors and, in an effort to fight back, accidentally committed one, a fact that is likely destroying her.
