$20 says the screenwriter snuck this in just to do numbers on tumblr

Worldcat is my bestie and my one true love!! Not only does it tell you what library a book is at, but it also price compares different used book sites against each other for easy view! It's how I got Tarot For the Master for $10!!

Oh, and since I have your attention: z-library (books and textbooks) and sci-hub (gatekept scientific journal articles.) I just ripped a textbook for class off z-library and snatched a required reading from sci-hub. Life is good and education should be accessible at every stage and station of life.

Unmute

I've posted this before, but every time I've seen it since I can't stop watching it repeat over and over. Like the man says, "Unmute"

Mutuals do this.

this guy is so unbelievably good at making music videos of himself dancing with himself in different outfits

I constantly think about the quote (literally no idea what it’s from) I read once about how teenage girls want to fuck their band guy idols because it’s the closest they can get to wanting to BE their band guy idols. Like damn… way to recontextualize my entire adolescence with 1 sentence

'#could we attribute the quote please?' i was half asleep & forgot, sorry, someone added an Archive link at some point though

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

I’m sure I can’t think of any reason that sentiment is relevant today. Coming up empty.

I think a lot of younger people are seeing this as a moral panic by OP. These are NOT being laid out as moral injunctions! This is not about being good! This is about covering your own ass and keeping fandom away from larger-scale legal trouble. No one is saying “If you break the rules you’re BEING BAD!” They’re trying to tell you “breaking these rules is DANGEROUS for yourself and potentially others as well!”

IT IS THE BEST THING

calling women "porn addicts" for reading romance novels is so fucking stupid i'm sorry. grow up

romance and erotica may not be "high art" but they are literally harmless - unlike the porn industry, you know for a fact that no one was harmed or exploited in the creation of it, and they're often the safest ways for women and teenage girls (because yes, teens have always read "spicy" books, i remember a section in BEVERLY CLEARY's memoir where she was talking about how she and her high school friends would pass around a paperback romance novel with the sex scenes dog-eared) to explore their personal sexual fantasies in private and without risk to themselves or others. i am so tired of the pearl-clutching and whining and bitching and moaning about this stuff. yes the ads for romance novels with the ao3 tropes all over are annoying but someone reading a book that's been advertised in an annoying way....who CARES??? grow up and mind your own business

if a woman wants to read a book with explicit sex scenes in it that's between her and her pussy and nobody else. get over it.

Norman Gary Finkelstein, for those asking.

I have no idea who Lukas Gage is, but I’m gonna get the ‘they don’t owe you shit bat’ and protect him with a mighty swing.

So, I just googled him to see if I saw him in anything, and he filed from divorce from his husband in 2023. So, he’s out now, but he still owes no one anything about his personal life including his sexuality.

Say it louder for people in the back. No one ever owes anyone else information about their sexuality. Behavior like demanding only openly gay people play gay roles and this sort of shit can result in forced outing and that is something no one deserves. No one.

quick protip: if someone is crying or freaking out over something minor, eg wifi not connecting, can’t find their hat, people talking too loud, do NOT tell them how small or petty the problem is to make it better. they know. they would probably love to calm down. you are doing the furthest possible thing from helping. people don’t have to earn expressions of feelings.

Needed this today.

People don’t actually go from 0 to 60. If you think they did, you have failed to notice how long they’ve been at 59.
