Happy Juneteenth to black trans femmes and black non binary people and black lesbians of all shapes and sizes and black trans masculines and black gender non conforming people and black asexuals and our cis and het siblings. Happy Juneteenth to every single black person PERIOD.

Bitches can't even like a show and admit it has copaganda anymore it's always gotta be something like "my show's different" "he likes guns because he has gun autism he's not like other cops" it's genuinely less embarrassing to be self aware and say "I like x character/element/etc while I also recognize that some particular qualities of it are meant to positively influence the viewer's opinion on cops via fiction." It's literally that simple

bringing a sort of "slavery is still alive and well in US prisons" vibe to the office Juneteenth post that my higher ups don't really like

From what I understand slavery was never actually abolished in the us. It is still legal and all.

the amendment that "ended" slavery specifically left permission for slave labor as punishment for convinced criminals and our inmates have been legally exploited ever since, yes

but whatever i don't feel strongly about amatonormativity at all .

i think it's bad that people of any age feel pressure to find a romantic partner. i think giggly "who's your crush" questions at age 9 are weird. i think young people getting into bad relationships because "it's what everyone does" is shit. i think that marriage should not be emphasised as the pinnacle of a relationship and frankly i think that marriage should not be expected at all from romantic relationships. i think that there needs to be more embracing of qprs and friendships and simply not getting a romantic partner. i think it's weird that half the time when you do something nice for someone people wonder if you're flirting. i think that people can and do care deeply about each other without needing to subscribe to the mainstream ideas of love. i think that there should be less of an emphasis on "love" in general. i think the idea of what is "romantic" versus "platonic" is different for everyone and therefore doesn't really have a use except to evoke vague ideas about social customs

The devil came to my house and tried to burn it down, which is why this post exists in the first place.

I can’t believe that tumblr user ao3commentoftheday is telling KIDS to go out knocking on doors asking for the devil! /s

but only *after* they piss on the poor! /s

oughgghgg the katabasis…… can’t even get into the katabasis without becoming jokerified over daedalus’ doors with the prominent absence of icarus on them…… you can read the ekphrasis but you need a vates (metalepsis powers) to tell you what’s missing and thus what the characters are missing. the ekphrasis is a story of terrible sacrifice followed by escape and relief. the vates vergil says: there is also terrible grief that could not be represented in the art. aeneas wants to stop and look at the details but is called away by fate #hisfate. and would he have noticed the absence of icarus anyway? and then vergil is like. ok so here’s the descent into the underworld here’s the parade of heroes here’s the terrible things rome had to go through for the relief of the golden age of augustus. but don’t 👆look too closely at what doesn’t make it in. and then several books later aeneas doesn’t understand what’s on his shield anyway
