I love how Tamsyn Muir was like, in this world everybody’s totally cool about gender and sexuality, but there’s a new invented binary that’s culturally and religiously defining and dictates who people are allowed to love and/or fuck and the roles they play in society.

They’ve written volumes and volumes of religious texts about how to conform to these sacred binary roles and filthy porn about people fulfilling or breaking the stereotypes of these roles. The role a person fulfills is determined before they’re born and dictates every aspect of their life. Once in a while someone who’s supposed to be on one side of the socioreligious binary is born more suited to the other side and has to hide it all their life (Coronabeth). Sometimes people fall in love in a way the socioreligious binary declares blasphemous and they decide to love each other openly anyway, and it shocks and scandalizes people no matter how wholesome and lovely and mundane their relationship is (Abigail and Magnus).

And these sacred binary roles are not equal, oh no, as much as the religious doctrine crows the importance of both roles, one is supposed to sacrifice endlessly and unquestioningly for the other, body, mind, and soul. And these binary roles have existed for ten thousand years and were created by God and underlie the whole structure of the universe! But here’s the secret: there was a time before this sacred binary existed, and God is just Some Guy who made this shit up.

The Boys did a cover of Shania Twain's "You're Still The One" on BBC Radio 1!

reading a romance novel where the protagonist feels the need to stop and inform that audience that it's okay for her, a 27 year old, to hook up with a 31 year old because despite the age difference both of their brains are fully developed. the Discourse really has done incalculable damage.

[ascholarlyengineer]

that's...they're adults 4 years apart, who on Earth would think there's any sort of meaningful age gap

A family of cheetahs sleep with the forest guard every night. When the Forest Dept. heard about it, they decided to check the veracity of the claim by installing a CCTV camera. This is what the camera recorded! Just amazing.

I think a great deal of people have absolutely no idea how very close we got to domesticating cheetahs in the past. (Or idk, maybe we did manage it somewhat.) They're delightful creatures full of anxiety.

My gender is non-binary, but if I were amab instead of afab then I think I’d be cis.

“[Russell T Davies] made Rose an equal, not a sidekick. It is she who, on several occasions, saves the Doctor, rather than the other way round. As any parent with a daughter, I now look at Esme and think ‘you could be the Doctor’. In 2005, as recently as that, such a thought would have been a pipe dream.

[Rose is] a woman with an independent mind, willing to confront received wisdom. Rose arrives on screen fully formed, one of the strongest female characters of any show, any year, painting a solid line directly to Jodie Whittaker. 

If you think about it, the relaunch in 2005 was actually the first chance to create the first female Doctor. Why not do it then? Perhaps we should be looking back on Billie Piper not as Rose, but as the Doctor.”

'the doctor is confirmed queer now!' 9 didnt flirt with harkness in 2005 and 10 didnt flirt with 1920s bad tennessee accent andrew garfield in 2007 for you to say this is the first time they're queer on screen. however i do think its funny if all the previous doctors were bi but 14 is just a flat homosexual. shaun temple really took one look at them and thought fruit! there is absolutely no chance of this person making a move on my wife. and he was right

[liviastrum]

neither donna nor the doctor giving it a second thought when the other first said “my arms are too long” is so funny to me they are so Besties

[faggotfuckery]

that's cool! who's the dude just chilling there?

[kaijuno]

I’m guessing it’s the dude that got “passed over” considering he looks like a Generic Country Singer

[waknatious]

Random country singer dude who had a hit covering her song maybe? Fast Car is not a 2023 song.

[rowark]

The guy is Luke Combs, who covered the song this year, and it went to #1 in the country charts

Tracy Chapman won the CMA for song of the year for it, because that award is for songwriters, and she wrote the song

@waknatious I'm tagging you since I'm adding extra info after you already saw it lol

I'm actually surprised that this cover was never discussed on Tumblr, tbh, because Luke Combs didn't change the words. He said he didn't want to make it his song... it was his favourite song as a kid, and he wanted to expose a new generation to it, but he also wanted them to know the original, so he left the lyrics the same.

So like... the #1 on country music stations featured a man singing the line "I work in the market as a checkout girl". Which like... you would never expect from country music.

But I think it was the right thing to do, because if he'd changed it, there probably would have been a lot of people who didn't realize it was a cover

[angstbotfic]

it's a decent cover, too.

[vaspider]

Honestly, I love this cover, and Fast Car was a song I listened to on repeat when I bought the CD. It's really good.
