#1 harpy the flagship of kalvaxus hater

smth smth Fabian Seacaster and his overwhelming need to not be alone...

Mališa, otherwise known as Little One, is a pet pigeon owned by a conservative butler of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. She is loved, and she is pampered— until her owner is murdered in cold blood, and she is left to fend for herself in Sarajevo.

In the wilds of the city, she feeds from the poor, working nationalist radicals, and the vieux riches alike.

To Mališa, there are no ethical concerns. No politics. No burgeoning nationalism.

With the new Harry Potter series she will be making a reported $20 million per-season renewal + other performance dependent royalties. She has been open across multiple interviews regarding her intentions to use said funds to push forth even more trans targeted legislation in the years to come.

This isn’t a “she gets paid no matter what” situation. The more eyeballs on this show the more money she has to actively harm vulnerable communities. By engaging with it you are directly supporting this and otherwise making a conscious choice to consume HP over doing the literal very least possible to not destroy the lives of trans people across the world.

If my stating the objective facts above upsets you then feel free to unfriend and move along. Your nostalgia-goggles feelings for a tired, problematic franchise mean nothing to me compared to the welfare of my trans friends and loved ones."

If you care more about badly written children's books and imaginary wizards more than you do about real people in the real world do it far the fuck away from me.

Don't try to be in my life.

Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

she used to keep a diary but she stopped for whatever reason (was told it was too childish, had it looked through by her parents & got in trouble, etc.) & now it all just Festers in her head forever because if she's not even safe to write it down without consequence she's certainly not safe to say it aloud.

she was taught to straighten her hair from an early age, but not from her mom specifically. i'm thinking like an older sister or aunt figure, or perhaps just from media in general doing the "ugly girl straightens her hair & gets rid of her glasses and now she's beautiful" thing. she wears contacts for the same reason.

she's been an insomniac for as long as she can remember, which only serves to make her more irritable, especially as a teenager. she uses this "extra time" to plan her campaign and kill rats in the woods, and she gets upset at the other rat grinders when they don't join her.

she thinks addiction and joining cults are just weak-willed behaviors. she also thinks people who drink specifically are stupid and have bad taste. this may or may not be influenced by the fact that she's never been popular enough to get invited to parties.

she hates when people make fun of how angry she is all the time, so instead she'll usually bring it up first to make it feel like she's in control and it doesn't make her upset.

she actually hates the color red and finds it incredibly ugly and overbearing, but of course it actually totally goes with her outfits because if she didn't incorporate it that would just remind her how shitty the rage star looks on her chest.

she's never actually felt attraction for anyone, and only expresses interest if she feels like she can gain something from them. she assumes this is how everyone goes through life, so she doesn't feel like she's being used when others do the same to her.

All of this in one day (the biggest attack occured at night).

russians hitting important cultural buildings is nothing new, they destroyed countless of churches and museums, but this night feels like they were targeting specifically everything significant to ukrainian culture and identity. And after that they and their supporters dare to say "where's your culture? you have none".

Art and culture is NEVER out of politics. THIS is why we're so mad when westerners keep praising anything related to russian culture itself. While people are praising their culture, russians are actively stealing and destroying ours.

shhhh... they're sleeping!

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.

So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.

Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.
