sorry for casterly rocking

the backlash against "this has been talked about extensively you're just 21" is a form of anti-intellectualism

you can argue that the Tone of the response should have been Nicer (and I would probably agree) but the only way you can disagree with the Substance of the response is if you don't think the existing critical canon holds any value

love it when characters do a sacrifice play ostensibly to save others but mostly so they don't have to face themselves

Anyone else kind of sick of scowling stoic tough guys as male protagonists?

No, but like; we need more swashbuckler types

This is definitely ‘a discussion for another day’ type of post but I can’t help think about how much criticism Qatar copped for its hosting of the World Cup (and some of it was very valid) but instead of focusing that criticism of Qatar on its use of migrant slave labour to build those stadiums, a lot of it was the same racist projection of Qatar being homophobic and anti-women due to being an Arab/Muslim country but these same western liberals are silent over the US hosting the World Cup despite also being misogynistic and homophobic! That’s not even including everything happening with ICE etc, its funding and complicity of the genocide in Palestine, bombing Iran etc like…

if you cant say 'abolish prisons' with your whole chest i dont trust your idea of feminism. everyone get more prison abolitionist now.

i just really want to hammer home that when peoples basic needs are met all crime drops. you do not need a place to put bad people because bad people do not exist, only people who are not being supported the way they should be. rehabilitation and harm reduction are things you need to internalize if you want to make the world a better place.

"drug seeking" as a patient one of the most dogshit stupid concepts of all time. fuuuck everybody look out this guy came in here expecting medical treatment. better watch out in case he goes to a restaurant and starts food seeking

“well during the winter the cold one can decide” no you cant bc you’re gonna make it too damn hot then too. you got blankets dontcha. i didnt say anything about a season

Dogs serve as a kind of virtue eater for Americans to pour all of their kindness into without the risk of improving society or being nice to someone with any agency

for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses 🥺" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint

look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."
