This blog as no purpose

Kidnapping teenage girls seems kind of worse than being stupid and uncultured, in the grand scheme of things.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

ONE DAY LEFT

Something I really struggle to get people to understand is that like. Sometimes there was no intentional homoerotic subtext, the author was just extremely misogynistic. Sometimes the author wasn't "secretly shipping" those two men, the author literally just hates women so much that they see them as being literally incapable of relationships with depth. Like this is kind of a big thing with misogyny actually. A lot of extremely misogynistic people truly believe that a man can only have meaningful and complex relationships with other men because they literally just think women are so inferior they only exist to birth children and clean the house. It's like when people say along the lines of "no one worships exclusively men quite like straight men do". It's just that phenomenon actually. That happens to be manifesting in a raging misogynist's writing. Writing a man character who literally only puts effort into his friendships with other men while completely ignoring his literal girlfriend or wife is actually an extremely straight thing to write. And that doesn't mean you can't ship those men or that there are no stories with actual intentional homoerotic subtext. I just think it's important to be able to recognize extreme misogyny in writing and acknowledge it without brushing it off and assuming good intentions when literally all evidence is screaming that this was a misogynistic writing choice and not a representing gay men choice.

"i feel besquintled", said no one ever. because that's not a word.

*true crime podcaster voice* Alrighty ladies, crack open some wine and get out your cupcakes, because today we're talking about the spooky, scary mystery of Jason Todd. But first, a word from our sponsor, HelloFresh—

Except money has actually been "spent" because banks "invest" (spend) their money based on the interest of how much money they have loaned people. That's why you have people upset. However, with the student loan forgiveness, the US gov't will have to pay the banks so they don't go into the red on what will be a loss, but the way the money was spent by the banks, and the way investments work overall, that payment becomes a net neutral on the tax payers because the money will just go back into the economy after the forgiveness instead of in the pockets of the rich through investments. Hence why the rich, corporate heads/boards, and their lackies in the GOP are so upset, because they aren't making money off people without doing anything, which is why loan interest has always been a scam by the rich to get richer.

it also doesn't mean "everything is happy and easy between us all the time" or "none of us can have sex with each other"
