you're evil like a hobbit

i told a spider about hatred and it spun a web that clearly conveyed a sense of betrayal and dissolutionment at the world

Charlotte's Web but she just writes "SHIT'S FUCKED MAN"

ryan gosling i am speaking directly in your ear now. in the mid-2000s you pivoted from turning Dead Man's Bones into a musical to making it an album because you and zach shields deemed a staged musical too expensive of a production. it has been 20 years mr gosling. you are richer now. you won a golden globe that one time. surely it is not that big of an expense for you now mr gosling. you said in 2011 you wanted to record a second album. in 3 and a half years it will be the 20 year anniversary of the album. you know what you must do

the idea of laura palmer is haunting because she's a woman suffering and people know she's suffering and don't do anything and then when she dies they make her into a saint and grieve her because she was too young to have gone through all that suffering like it's truly about how women's pain is only put in evidence when it's too late

I’ve known this post longer than I’ve known most of my friends

if I was matt murdock and I found out the same chemical spill that blinded me and lit the world on “fire” turned a bunch of turtles into pizza loving ninjas I would lose it actually

in any just world where international sports were run by bodies with any concerns or purpose other than corruption and self-enrichment, the USA would be banned from hosting international sporting events after the wretchedly racist treatment of the iranian, senegalese, uruguayan, uzbek, and iraqi teams this world cup--not to mention of game officials and fans--as well as the absurdly corrupt direct intervention on balogun's red card

from what i've observed, i do think there is some pressure for women in not explicitly feminist leftist circles to affect a kind of "cool girl" posture for the benefit of the men in the movement

someone mentioned neil gaiman in one of the replies to this and i think this is a good opportunity to remind people that there are certain kinds of predatory men (like neil gaiman) who insinuate themselves into progressive spaces by learning the “appropriate” language and social codes primarily in order to put themselves in proximity to women and other vulnerable people who view them as “safe.” i think misogyny/sexism/rape apologia in leftist spaces is much larger of an issue than just this (as there are men in those spaces who are not actively malicious but who have unexamined patriarchal outlooks that bleed into their beliefs and behavior) but i do think it’s important to point this out and to remind people to be on their guard.
