you lost the game

some of you are way too comfortable with telling people to die/kill themselves. while still thinking you’re in the right. you’re fucking crazy

that person mildly annoying you does not deserve to be suicide baited. genuinely you need to go outside and have a real conversation with somebody. if you don’t get punched it’ll be a miracle

What is the fetish that fan creators have for making Jewish characters eat pork

No, but U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has died at the age of 71 from a “sudden illness”.

[GIF description: GIFS of two moments of a scene from the episode “Buffy vs. Dracula” of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. On the left column of GIFs, Xander is sitting at the island in Giles’ house, sucking the jelly out of a donut and saying, “Like any of that’s enough to fight the dark master.” Buffy and Riley turn abruptly to look at him, and he adds, “…bator.” In the right column of GIFs, Xander is sitting at Giles’ desk, saying nervously, “I think you’re drawing a lot of crazy conclusions about the unholy prince.” Buffy, Riley and Giles all turn to look at him, and he adds, “…bator.”]

shipping the popular yaoi pairing but shaking my head while i do to indicate that i also care about the work's themes and other characters

‘beyond the scope of this paper’ is a dear friend to me. I Am Not Fucking Talking About That

"Look I can stay on track or this paper can be three times as long, your choice."

Health classes really ought to teach people what the beginning stages of addiction are like because a lot of people don’t realize they’re addicted to something until they’re years deep into it.

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

I've spent a ridiculous amount of time on Project Gutenberg sifting through forgotten old fiction and lemme tell ya. a lot of that stuff sucks ass.

How do I explain to people that I aspire to look like a fictional WWII Jewish-American commando from a Silver Age comic book lmfao

computa, reality shift to this timeline immediately

V for Vendetta but V wears one of those rubber Trump masks

the strongest bond is probably pad wings to themselves. the weakest is probably pad wings to your underwear

i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights

the fact fandom as a whole can be built out of seperate yet overlapping “migratory” fanbases that move from canon to canon in search of specific itches being scratched is revelatory of the underlying emotional structures of fannish engagement for many people, which is fundamentally derivative in the sense that it is about obsession. it is about getting that same itch scratched over and over. like sex, or desire. it is about iterative desire in form or structure, as so much of fannish content is about desire. if it’s working on you you will never get tired of it and will always want more. if it isn’t it’s baffling how it could be doing it for anyone. it is basic to the enterprise in a way that means the criticisms that fandom is often derivative or unoriginal has always struck me as off-base on multiple levels. i also like fandom and fic as a ground for expansive creative exploration free of the demands of the wage, but that has never been what everyone is getting out of it, or the only thing i myself get out of it. and assuming it is, or should be, and these repetitions that are likely to strike those not in the loop of desire as dull undifferentiated slop are deviations from what could or should be a more noble intellectual pursuit is naive and means you will never really get anywhere in analyzing fandom.

Is she a "forgotten woman of history" or is this just the first time you've personally heard about her?
